Create own engine files

edited March 2013 in Need Help
Guys I've just finished searching the forums and cant find solution so throwing it out here:

Going to spend the next few days, optimising my /engine/ *ini files with footprints, etc..


Now the problem is not editing the files, but when SEr is updated, my edited files will be overwritten.

I know I could just backup my edited folder and paste back after each update.

But I would like to have a /My Profiles/ section which would list my edited files (sub-section of the current engines list)

I've tried copying & renaming Drupal - Blog.ini to MY Drupal - Blog.ini
I've also edited the engine type=Article in the file engine type=MY Article

But my edited file wont show in engine list in a profile.

anyone have solution or better way to achieve??

    to do a custom section for your edited scripts you just need to change two things:

    1) change "engine type=Article" (or whatever type of platform it is) to "engine type=MyProfiles" (or whatever you prefer)
    2) rename the *.ini file from "article beach.ini" to "article - article beach.ini" for instance. rename it to whatever you prefer, but i would use the platform type in front of the name so you keep your custom profiles in order.

    renamed scripts won't get updated so you need to keep track of all the changes that appears to the original scripts. whenever Sven is updating an engine (view change log file after each update!) than open the engines folder and sort by date. now you see which engines where updated and you can edit your modified engines accordingly.

    maybe you saved your file in the wrong coding language??! i believe "ANSI" is the one i used, but UTF-8 should also work if i'm not wrong. i saved the file as "Articles - Drupal - Blog.ini".

    furthermore there is no need to restart SER as the engines was detected right from the start or should be detected automatically after a short time.

    this is my header for drupal:

    [setup]
    enabled=1
    default checked=0

    engine type=My Profiles
    description=Creates drupal blogs/stories.
    dofollow=1
    anchor text=1
    creates own page=1
    uses pages=0

    I have had one file do that so far for some strange reason

    All I did was copy an engine file on the running copy and rename that and make the changes

    Footprints take seconds to copy and paste to make changes

    ok I must be going crazy now:(

    I use notepadd++

    I just copied the orginal drupal file (which is in ANSI" coding.

    I replaced setup section with your so its now :

    [setup]
    enabled=1
    default checked=0

    engine type=My Profiles
    description=Creates drupal blogs/stories.
    dofollow=1
    anchor text=1
    creates own page=1
    uses pages=0

    I saved the file as: Articles - Drupal - Blog.ini


    And it still doesnt show  :-/
