Download plugins directly from uMod.org

[Dennis]

I threw together a quick script for Python that allows your clients to install mods directly from TCAdmin by inputting a URL.

 

 

import sys
sys.path.append(ThisServer.CustomField1)
sys.path.append(ThisServer.CustomField2)
import clr;
clr.AddReference("TCAdmin.SDK")
from TCAdmin.SDK.Misc import WebClient;
import bs4
import urllib, urlparse, os

wc = WebClient();
site = str(ThisService.Variables['umodurl'])
split = urlparse.urlsplit(site)
filename = str(ThisService.RootDirectory) + '\oxide\\plugins\\' + split.path.split("/")[-1]
if ".cs" in site:
 wc.DownloadFile(site, filename);
 Script.WriteToConsole('The plugin was downloaded successfully')
else:
 try:
   wc = WebClient();
   html=wc.DownloadData(site);
   only_copyurl_tags = bs4.SoupStrainer('a', {"class":"btn btn-primary btn-block"})
   soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(html.encode('utf-8'), 'html.parser', parse_only=only_copyurl_tags)
   for a in soup.find_all('a', href=True)[0:1]:
     download_link = a['href']
 except:
   Script.WriteToConsole('Couldn\'t parse URL. Please contact support.')
 
 modname = download_link.replace('https://umod.org/plugins/', '')
 try:
   with open(str(ThisService.RootDirectory) + '\oxide\\plugins\\' + modname, 'wb') as output:
     output.write(wc.DownloadData(download_link))
 except:
   Script.WriteToConsole('Failed to download\nfile from ' + download_link + '.\nTrying another URL...')
   try:
     os.remove(str(ThisService.RootDirectory) + '\oxide\\plugins\\' + modname)
     filename = str(ThisService.RootDirectory) + '\oxide\\plugins\\' + split.path.split("/")[-1] +'.cs'
     wc.DownloadFile(site + '.cs', filename)
     Script.WriteToConsole('The plugin was downloaded successfully')
   except:
     Script.WriteToConsole('Couldn\'t download the plugin.\nPlease contact support')

A few things to note:

- Install Python 2.7 on your server and go to Servers > Custom Fields. In Custom Field 1, input the path to the Python 2.7 library on your server (like C:\Python27\Lib)

- Install BeautifulSoup4 on your server and go to Servers > Custom Fields. In Custom Field 2, input the path to the BeautifulSoup4 library on your server (like C:\beautifulsoup4-4.1.0\)

- You need to create a variable called 'umodurl'. To avoid cases where your client enters an incorrect URL, use regex validation like so: ^https\:\/\/umod\.org\/plugins\/[a-zA-Z0-9-#]+(.cs)?

- Remember to set the script to ask for variables

 

 

 

Clients can both enter the URL for the plugin page (eg. https://umod.org/plugins/absolut-gifts) and for the plugin download (eg. https://umod.org/plugins/AbsolutGifts.cs).

In some cases the script will fail when the client enters the link for the plugin page, and in this case the script will try to append '.cs' and see if that works.

getting this:

unexpected token 'from'

 

when trying to download plugin with that and other script, any clue?

[Dennis]

Please send a screenshot of the script in TCAdmin so I can investigate.

[MrLuke82]

okey, should i send it on email or here?

[MrLuke82]

i send to your email, to big to upload it says here

I prefere just to link directly to the latest download that way i can setup configuration files etc, i have message support to include an Updater feature, however in the latest update you have to provide a version number, this makes updating a pain, the update button should appear constantly and it just downloads the latest. This method is nice, it just lacks in UI side (being able to manage plugin produce configs in Configuration Files).

Turn /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bs4

into

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/

That's what worked for me.

Yes, as @Jimmy-CS says, you'll need to enter the path to where you can see the bs4 folder - you shouldn't include /bs4.
