Tonido Shell (Plug and Windows) is now in the 3rd party app section
http://tonido.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=2128

This is a psuedo shell plugin for Tonido. This is the latest release. I will continue to update the application here until it is released on the market.

A lot of work has gone into bringing this to you on Tondio for Windows. If you like the work and find this application useful, consider donating. You can find a donation link in the About Dialog of the application. Enjoy.

1.0.3w:


Prerequisites:
You must have the latest Tonido which has PHP support v.2.25.0.13193

Install:

• Enable viewing hidden files and folders
• download and unzip tonidoshell package to C:\users\<your_profile>\AppData\Roaming\Tonido\plugins
• Restart Tonido. If you don't see the application, you may need to enable it in your application settings

Update:

• Remove original tonidoshell folder from C:\users\<your_profile>\AppData\Roaming\Tonido\plugins and unzip the new zip to the same location

Notes:

• PHP does not really have an open session on your plug. This is important to note, so no interactive scripts or applications can be run through this. You can run scripts and commands etc, but they should be able to complete in less than 30 seconds; if they don't, the execution time of PHP exceeds and the page will issue a server error and cause the Shell app to hang until the command finally finishes. If you need to run scripts that take a long time, or you want to run something as a background service that will not terminate, disable response by clicking the icon in the status bar, or selecting it from the menu. This will allow you to issue commands and skip getting their output since they will run the commands in the background ignore their output.
• Commands can be chained using standard cmd shell command chaining. example:command1 && command2, but due to a limitation with php interacting with the windows command shell, you cannot chain a change directory command to another drive; it will not work as expected. I suggest that instead you just use absolute paths for commands or create a batch file doing what you need and launch it. This is not a problem on linux servers, but it is on windows.
• Commands such as c: do not work; you must use cd c:. This may be addressed in the future, but it is not critical to functionality.

It appears, after testing more, that everything in the Windows Beta works the same as the plug version, except file paths. The main thing that was a little iffy was the handling of windows filepaths. While navigating paths, for the most part, worked, it was generally treating the paths like it would in Linux. So, I have modified the code to account for drive letters and windows backslashes etc. Seems to work very well now.

I still format the prompt more like linux than windows:
[user@computer folder/]#

I could format it like windows
C:\folder>

I am not sure if anyone cares. If you have a preference, let me know.

I will try and get the next beta out in the next couple of days. I don't imagine this staying in beta much longer if the file path issues are all fixed. Everything else seems to work fine.

Windows users might care just for purity sake, but I think it is fine either way.

Beta 2 posted.

A couple of things to note:

• Commands can be chained using standard cmd shell command chaining. example:command1 && command2, but due to a limitation with php interacting with the windows command shell, you cannot chain a change directory command to another drive; it will not work as expected. I suggest that instead you just use absolute paths for commands or create a batch file doing what you need and launch it. This is not a problem on linux servers, but it is on windows.
• Commands such as c: do not work; you must use cd c:. This may be addressed in the future, but it is not critical to functionality.

I think the file path handling should be pretty solid. If no other issues are found, I will probably push this to the Market for Windows.

This is a bug fix release:
Fixed IE8 issue with textareas

I am going to attempt to do some more testing on the windows version tonight; I finally got a working battery on my windows laptop.

I am not sure when the original Tonido Shell for the plug is scheduled to hit the market, but if I cannot determine any issues with this windows version, I will try to submit it to the market as well to see if I can catch the release and maybe be released simultaneously with the plug version.

I am really not sure if it will happen or not because I have no idea when the plug version is supposed to drop. From what I understand, it is tied to the next Tonido Release, so we shall see.

Sorry for the wait, we are working on the release and a few more things got added in and as a result we are waiting for all the fixes to get fixed, checked in and tested. And a bunch of other things are causing some more distractions.

Please feel free to refine your plugin as we wait.
Current release schedule looks atleast 2 to 3 weeks away.

Tonido Shell Final 1.0.2w posted

-longer delay before scrolling to bottom of output when a command is entered
-remove obsolete experimental code

1.0.3n uploaded.

-Fixed/minimized IE8 textarea width bug (runaway text area scrollbar)

If your IE8 explorer window is very small, you may see the issue return, but for most people, it won't be a problem. Again, this is an IE8 bug, not a Tonido Shell bug, though I have provided a sufficient work around. MS should fix it for IE8, but they probably won't, but I minimized its annoyance for XP users who cannot upgrade to IE9 when it comes out.
