But there is no way of automating iSiloX, so I got the command line version called iSiloXC. Unfourtunatly, it says in the readme "This command-line version of the converter does not support automatic queueing of converted documents for HotSync(R)." This makes no sense, by the nature of UNIX, any command can be automated (via cron). So, I chose to assume that warning was to mean that iSiloXC could not be triggered by a HotSync.
I downloaded and played with iSiloXC, and was unable to get it to work, automated or not. I created a small test file (creating a iSilo doc from the "plinkit home page" in iSiloX, saved out the .ixl file and ran isiloXC -x plinkit.ixl). It appears to work (running it with '-v' for verbose, it even claims "Writing destination file..."), but no "destination files" are actually written (not even to the wrong place!). NOTE: I replaced my /Users/ name with 'user' and my palm user's name with 'palmuser' in all path examples. I had tried
- Setting the .ixl to the hotsync user:
<HotSync><Path>palmuser</Path></HotSync>
- Setting the .ixl to a destination file, which resulted in the path:
<Path>Macintosh HD:Users:user:Documents:Palm:Users:palmuser:
(That should be one line, no spaces)
Files to Install:SecureDigital (SD) Card:</Path>
- Changing the path to a UNIX path (reference):
/Users/user/Documents/Palm/Users/palmuser/
(Again, that's all one on line)
Files\ to\ Install/SecureDigital\ \(SD\)\ Card/
/Users/user/Documents/Palm/Users/palmuser/WORKS! But, of course, this will not put files where they will install on HotSync. The answer came in creating a symbolic link to the "Files to install/SecureDigital (SD) Card" (I used /Users -> user -> Documents -> Palm -> Users -> palmuser -> sdcard'). In the .ixl file, set path to:
/Users/user/Documents/Palm/Users/palmuser/sdcardNow create a cron job to run every day (or whatever), and you have iSilo web content available on schedule, automatically.
