Can someone design me something please

[pritchardavid]

Hey guys need some help here


Our ISP make us use a proxy, doesnt work without, teachers are having problem now getting the internet at home, some can get on, some cant because they forgot to take the proxy off or they dont know how to

is there a little app that can be made to select whether you are at home (to take the proxy off) and whether your at work (put proxy on)

anyone able to make something for this little problem, thanks

Any good? EAZ School Proxy Switcher Software Informer: version 1.1 information

[pritchardavid]

thanks, that should work, dont know why I couldnt find anything when I looked ages ago about this


+rep

but is there anything better, dont really want more programs running in the memory

a fair few teachers complain already there laptops run slow

Is it possible for some sort of icon setup?

One saying, home internet
Second saying, work internet

Double cick on one and it changess the settings has required


anyone able to make something like this?

So basiclly a registry file would do this, But cant have the yes no box coming up everytime

so really it needs to be an exe with some sort of home logo and business logo for each, so the user does not get confussed when doing this

needs to be idiot proof!!!!!!

its a shame for the vista computers, when you have the home or public or work selection coming up, it doesnt save these sort of settings with that, would be a good idea

Edit to your requirements & compile [ AutoIT ] - will look like the picture under the script.
Will change the proxy settings and then launch IE. When run takes VERY little memory.

WE have exactly this it's just two shortcuts to a batch files on the c drive, that imports .REG files also on the c drive into the registy (bypasses warnings that confuse people).

will post it tommorow if someone else doesn't in the mean time...

You mentioned you already have the reg files for this, so to bypass the yes/no boxes. Find the batch command that imports reg files. place the bat file on c drive then jsut shortcut to it job done.

Thanks for your help

Copied your script has needed and edited for our proxy setting but keep getting this a message everytime when trying to make the exe


error: variable used without being declared


line 16

even a stright copy and paste and trying to make the exe doesnt work without editing something, so dont think its something im doing wrong


nope didnt make reg files, just saying that could be an option to use, but staff member would know what to do
but your way would work, i'll try to get the method above working first, if not, i'll try what you have then

Just the sort of thing I'm after but I get this when I run it.
$BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON
variable used without being declared

I never really graduated from V2 am I doing something daft?

Our ISP make us use a proxy

Set up a transparent proxy between your network and the connection as provided by your ISP. We use Squid for this, running on a virtual machine.

Sorry, thats what you get for using old bits of code from other stuff I've written -
The lines [ 16 & 17 ] with the $Button1 & $Button var should read:

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Proxy On", 10, 20, 89, 49)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Proxy Off", 120, 20, 89, 49)

Just tested it on my Windows 7 using version 3.3.0.0 & it works. [ Using just over 2 meg ] - which in my opinion is too much.....
If you want the GUI to close after they have clicked on the button, just add an 'Exit' in....

[mossj]

For you - http://projects.localhosting.org.uk/proxySimples.zip

Should work, if you need it. Just follow the instuctions it's a bish bash bosh job really but it is exactly as you asked. 2 shortcuts on the desktop click one and the proxy is one way, click the other and it that way. Doesn't run in the background so no memory eaten.

Does require a browser restart but I expect all these scripts do...

Lordy Mossj, your license details are larger than the .reg & .bat files !!

[pritchardavid]

Ok cheers, corrected scripping is working, thats one more thing off my to do list

Lordy Mossj, your license details are larger than the .reg & .bat files !!

Yup but the GNU seemed to state I had to include them somewhere
