Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • Quotes please - Auto-Hibernation/Wake-up

    Hi all,

    Our office has 14 Windows 7 64-bit machines in it, all networked to a common server. Some of the staff prefer to leave their machines on overnight with documents ready for the following day - makes the machines 'perkier' the following morning.

    What I'd like is a system which hibernates any machines which are still running at (say) 8pm at night, and wakes them again at 5am the following morning.

    Easy to do with task scheduler and BIOS, but we need a solution which *only* wakes them up if they hibernated automatically. In other words, if I switch my PC off when I leave at 5:30pm, I don't want it waking up automatically at 5 in the morning.

    If it were me, I'd build a client-side app to tell the server: 'Hey, it's late. I'm gonna hibernate. Wake me up in the morning.'
    The server would log which of its babies had hibernated automatically that night and send them a Wake up on Lan call bright and early the following morning.

    But I haven't coded things like that in years, so it'd probably just be cheaper to pay someone else to do it :P

    Could you give me some quotes for something like this (or an alternative you may judge is better), either by replying to this thread or through PM, so I can get a rough idea and run it past the directors?

    Thanks

  • [Paid Request] Windows Shortcut (*.LNK) Extension

    Hi all,

    I'm just testing the waters here to see how much someone would charge to develop a very straightforward extension for me. I haven't the time to work on it myself, and I suspect you guys would probably build it quicker than me anyway.

    I need to be able to create, edit and retrieve data from windows shortcuts, specifying at least the following:
    - Filename of shortcut
    - Target file
    - Icon file
    - Icon number
    - Comment
    - Date Modified

    Sphax' File-Folder Object can create them, but not edit existing ones or retrieve their content.

    I'm trying to make a bespoke windows app to let me create 'post-it-notes' in my file folders. I know things like that exist, but none work *exactly* the way I'd like them to (you know the feeling, right?).

    So yeah, let me know what you'd charge to do it. I'm happy to release the extension to the wider community once it's done.
