What is the other one? Note that old IE 11 is the minimum IE version it runs on. Maybe IE 10, but I don't think so.

@stanmiller Please start a new thread for you question using [ABMaterial] in the subject. Thank you.

Yes, it is hardcoded in many cases. Does your solution work? Maybe I can add a parameter to ABMaterial where you specify the folder. Default "www", but you can change it to e.g. "public_html".

In you own B4J code, you would of course still need to replace the www's by public_html as you did now.

If this suits you, add it as a feature request to the ABMaterial feedback app, otherwise it will be forgotten as I'm working on another part of ABMaterial now.

I created a thread proposing two configurable paths. One path to the webapp.jar and a second to the content.

ABMaterial-Request for configurable App and Content folders
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...r-configurable-app-and-content-folders.71018/

I'm heading out for an early weekend away. When I get back Monday, I'll add the request through the feedback app.

@stanmiller I've added a proposel to your post that I see feasible to build in 2.0 and that would allow what you want to do.

Do you still have alternative download link?

Trying to migrate to ABM v2.00:

Compiling a project based on ABM demo sources, I updated the font folders, js and css. I also copied all the .jar (and .xml) to b4j libraries folder.

Nevertheless, I get the following compilation error. The source lines where they are produced are these:

Sub public AddPage (page As ABMPage)
Pages.Add (page.Name)
Log (page.Name & "- entering -" & File.DirApp & "/ www /" & AppName & "/" & page.Name & "/" & "-" & page.PageHTMLName)

'This line (#169) fired error:
PageNeedsUpload.Add (ABM.WritePageToDisk (page, File.DirApp & "/ www /" & AppName & "/" & page.Name & "/" page.PageHTMLName, ABMShared.NeedsAuthorization))

Log (page.Name & "- out")
End Sub

I'm getting the same error with a very simple project based on the template example. The line number where the error is reported seems random. I get different line numbers when I compile in debug vs. release. And the reported line seems unrelated. Note the "Collecting data from sources files B4J ... (1/2)" should be followed by "Analysing data from BJ source files... (2/2)" on a successful build. That second line is missing.

1. Try deleting everything in www folder of your project.
2. Copy in the "css","font",and "js" folders from the www folder of the sample template project.
3. Rebuild your app and let ABM create the folders and initial pages.
4. Copy in the images back into your app/images folder.

Correction:
2. Copy in the "css","font",and "js" folders from the Library/www folder in the zip

Clear the cache as well. Update your version number, if you use one ( Public AppVersion As String = "2" ' - in ABMShared)

My version 2 update is working fine... although I have been miffed before... (using template folder (for js,font,css) was the initial problem way back when...)

I think I found the glitch.

On startup ABM appears to be scanning the .BAS files in the source folder (regardless whether the .BAS file is a member of the project).

Attached is the file EXTRA.BAS. If you simply include this file in your project folder (not add to the project) the server will crash on startup with a Null pointer exception.

Contents of EXTRA.BAS:

B4X:

Sub Process_Globals

End Sub

Public Sub RootFolder As String

    Return  ( sRootFolder )

End Sub

If you change the Sub name to xRootFolder the server will start as normal.

B4X:

Sub Process_Globals

End Sub

Public Sub xRootFolder As String

    Return  ( sRootFolder )

End Sub

So it appears that ABM is looking for keywords in the source files and using that to build content. The challenge is finding which file in your sources is in conflict.

That's weird? How did it ever work before? Something new in 2.0 ?
How the heck would you find such a .bas...? Did you ever call RootFolder and was there a sRootFolder to return?

Likely the issue: [regardless to whether or not they are members of the project]...

Sub RootFolder comes from WEBAPP.BAS I wrote about here:

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...le-app-and-content-folders.71018/#post-452228

I found that adding WEBAPP.BAS to the project would cause the Null exception. Then it was a matter of trimming the code to find what triggered it.

What interesting is that EXTRA.BAS won't compile in B4J as sRootFolder is undefined. Nor is it a member of the project. It's simply a random file with a .BAS extension.
