So decided to install habibs 4.78 CFW to look at adding support for this, Im a little confused as im so used to using Rebug. How do I add webman first as I need that working fully before I can start with the Launchpad. Ive tried searching but could do with the quick version, I expected it to be on the XMB after install as its so useful?
EDIT: ok , just used webman mod updater, it was the "updater" in the name that threw me off, thought I had to have it installed first and then use that to update it.
Question: how do people feel about using the Debug explore_plugin.sprx on the CEX version of this mod? The reason I would do this is because it adds the ability to clear the cache easily which will be really handy for this and other mods like XMBPD etc. There are other ways the cache could be cleared too but not as easily..
Are there any drawbacks? I know people using Habib CFW like the "clean" look and it does add a few extra debug options to some menus.

I dont mind about the debug options but would be cool if somehow you could incorporate a combo button to unload those debug menus for people that want to go online, example webman already as option to unload it from memory with L3+R3+L2, would it even be possible to incorporate it in the same combo?
That's is probably possible with cobra. But as this changes other files too and the sprx is modified in either case if stealth is your concern, I think the best thing for people to do if they want to go online is to use the installer to swap the files back. only takes a few seconds as you can see in the video.
I suppose this is one reason that using cobra to patch the sprx would be better than using a modified one..
Actually ive come up with a better way to clear the cache that wont effect the covers. "/delete.ps3/<path> " , ill use this. So I can now use the CEX explore plugin sprx

Yes , 0_obeWAN has done something similar. see his GTA5EXTRA project:
[video=youtube;m6uLTELSEdE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6uLTELSEdE&feature=youtu.be[/video]
That was i intended to do, create a menu similar like this creating (for example) a fake game (just to begin with) and launch the games...
Here is where im at now:
Added support for Habib 4.78, needs more testing but seems ok.
added extension and changed path for xml to dev_hdd0/tmp/wm_launchpad.xml . works fine too.
Also added spacing and headers to make the file easier to read (thanks [MENTION=6]bitsbubba[/MENTION] for suggestion).
Added a better way of clearing cache that wont effect covers, now it will just refresh the xml and the jpgs don't get touched.
Re arranged WM functions due to adding clear cache, and removed shutdown shortcut.
Compressed/resized icons for functions as much as possible while keeping quality needed for the big display. Changed restart icon.
Had to use the explore plugin sprx from debug in the end anyway, just wouldn't work without it. Should have v0.11 ready in about 24hrs all going to plan.
So suggestions please?
Should I add/remove some webman functions? Maybe add another row of 3? if so which 3?
Should I add more placeholder for games?
Also a custom background can be added for the screen , the background would need to suit it when on the item, and when you enter the item, as the game icons move. but Im sure a nice 1080p background can be done that looks good for both situations if someone wants to make one or has any ideas?

This test build generates also the wm_launchpad.xml when the games are scanned.
http://aldostools.org/temp/test/webftp_server_gamei.sprx
I'm not sure if <url type="1" works or not... Regarding the WM functions, I think that 3 option is enough: Setup, Eject, Refresh XML
Most of the other functions can be accessed once the webpage is open or via shortcuts.
Great thanks, ill do some testing.
Type 1 should work fine.
I have added a new shortcut, Clear Launchpad Cache = "http://localhost/delete.ps3/dev_hdd0/tmp/explore/nsx/" , the reason for this is that the normal clear cache accessible by pressing triangle would delete the covers too, and for some people with slow internet that would be very annoying. Ive also added a bad link "http://127.0.0.1/mount_ps3/303/***CLEAR RECENTLY PLAYED***" as this was the only way I could find to clear the last played game from the Launchpad. Clearing cache does not work and I couldn't find where the info was stored. So really I need to keep those 2 extra shortcuts in there or come up with better solutions. And because of layout I want to have either 3, 6, or 9 shortcuts as it looks nicer. So we need to choose which 3 , 6 or 9, bearing in mind we kind of need those 2 included (or maybe we don't)?

To clear the recently play files you could try using: /delete.ps3?history
For the other links, you can consider the following:
/extgd.ps3 <- toggle external gameDATA
/browser.ps3$block_servers <- block psn servers
/cpursx.ps3 <- show temperature
/syscall.ps3mapi?scd=1 <- disable syscalls
/syscall.ps3mapi?sce=1 <- re-enable syscalls
Ill try that history command instead of the broken link. I will keep your 3 suggestions for WM shortcuts and have another row of 3 I think to incorporate the other 2 that are required, so there is one slot free to make up 6. ill see what people think about adding to the last slot sure.
The sprx works,
WICKED! but no local icons yet of course, shame.. Man if that was sorted it would be so cool, but im sure it possible to get it to add the remote links to the cover aswell ? If I host them all with the same file name as content ID with all the links having the same prefix. I will get that sort in the next week or so or get permission to use another database.

I wonder why local icons do not work. Maybe you should try with different values in <url type="1">, e.g. "u", "2", "3", "4", etc. Also replacing 127.0.0.1 with the local ip 192.168.* or localhost.
yeah I will try all of that for sure. Have tried localhost and 127, but will try 192 too.
Have another issue now. Seems there is a limit on the amount of items that can show, either that or it doesn't like one my file names, trying to work it out now, looks like 36 items might be the max..or it doesn't like the xml going over 100kb, not sure.
This could be an issue...possibly go back to having a selector for favourites. Or find where the limit is and increase it.
EDIT: [MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] , no luck with either types of links. I think remote covers might have to do for now.
The reason local host works for mounting the game, and not for the icons is because the browser is used to mount the game, where as the icon is a direct link (or at least its meant to be, and there must be some check or security maybe).
Im not sure why I could redirect the link for the whats new to local host in the sprx either, I got REALLY LUCKY there, none of the other xmls can be redirected to 127.0.0.1 in this way, they can all be redirected to my own custom remote links though (this file had no xml extension either, the only one like that, maybe that is related?). So this is not possible to do with TV channels, or Store preview, or xil xmls, I have no idea why..The links are all right next to each other in the sprx.

I'm up to 39 and counting
That is very very nice and it would be a workaround for the fact that all the systems games will be in one panel. But it would be easier to just use the multiman cover pack files or one of the already existing cover databases. We could have custom covers like that and it would be really great, but we would have to choose, there are some drawbacks to bigger covers, slower download time, and 12000 images to be modified?
Quoting this one, there is a way to do that in one click with photoshop, just need to create a action on photoshop and it will do all that automatic and share the .atn file that as the automated script, you can see how it works in my topic with the video on how to make custom manuals for ps3 games.

That's good news. I dunno whats causing my issue so, I will have to go over the auto generated xml and see what could be stopping it showing some games, certain character in the path maybe, I dunno. Have you tried the sprx and letting it generate the items or is it your custom list that's working above 39?
Ok cool, that's interesting will have a look when I get time. So the whole multiman cover pack could just be converted in one go, well if its fairly easy and the file size doesn't get much bigger then Im all up for having custom covers. I am still thinking of hosting them all and making it so each one downloads automatically the FIRST time they are needed.
