See this on Download.com - figured maybe it might be useful for snitz to use if the code is obtainable...
For example... If I see that SR5 is released while I'm in school, all I gotta do is click 'save to my x-drive' and then download it from there when I get home :)

I’m not sure if this would be that beneficial. The reason for this is that there are not that many downloads available here at Snitz. The reason download.com has this, is that they have millions of shareware programs on their website, and you might not remember the program that you were looking for. I have heard that Xdrive is slow on downloading, but I have never tried it. This is just my $0.02 on this subject

Downloads slow for me when downloading via the web, but when I have the desktop component installed on my computer and I download via that, its helluva lot quicker.

It's not hard to implement. They have the code for it on their website.(can't find it right now though, they've rearranged everything since I was there last)
I made a page awhile back that would pop-up a javascript box to enter the URL to a file so I could "Save to my X-Drive" any file I wanted to. |

I found the code that I used. What I wanted to do was make a page where I could put in the URL of the file and save it to my xdrive.
just copy the following code and paste it into a new HTML file and save it. Call it something like xdrivesave.html
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Send a file to your X:Drive!</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- hide me
// get path to file
var file_path = prompt("What is the path to the file?","");
// stop hiding me -->
</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="http://www.xdrive.com/js/skip.js">
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgColor=#000000 link=#0000ff text=#FFFFFF vLink=#800080 onLoad="window.defaultStatus='Send a file to your X:Drive!'">
<A HREF="JAVASCRIPT:xd_skip(file_path)">
<center><IMG SRC="http://www.xdrive.com/demo/images/skip.gif" BORDER=0></center></A>
</BODY>
</HTML>
now just open the file with your browser and you'll get a javascript box asking for the URL to the file you want to download. Just enter the URL and click on OK. You will then get a page with the Save to my X:Drive icon it, just click on it and the X:Drive dialog box will popup asking for your username/password (or not if you've already logged in recently).
Here is the code to skip the entering of the URL via the javascript box:
just insert the following in the <HEAD> part of you page:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="http://www.xdrive.com/js/skip.js"></SCRIPT>
Then insert the following in your page where you want the icon to be displayed:
<a href="javascript:xd_skip('http://forum.snitz.com/forum/icon_pencil.gif')">
<img src="http://www.xdrive.com/demo/images/skip.gif" border=0></a>
You would just change the http://forum.snitz.com/forum/icon_pencil.gif example above to the path of the file available for download.
You can try out the first example here: http://www.websamba.com/richardk/testsavetoxdrive.asp |
