A question Aldo: Is it possible to mount a /PKG folder from an NTFS/esFAT device in the same way that a /PKG folder can be mounted from a shared location using ps3netsrv? Or is prepISO the only way to install packages from NTFS/exFAT?
Thanks for the info Aldo. Do you know of a program/method could I use to create a data ISO containing packages? Would it need a special structure/file (like a PARAM.SFO) to be mounted? And, could this ISO also be remapped to the Standard folder from Package Manager so that the "Install All Packages" feature could be used?Currently it is not possible to mount folders in exFAT/NTFS. Only ISO or fake-ISO can be mounted.
If you build a data ISO containing the all packages in PKG, it can be mounted without issues. Otherwise you have to mount individually each package scanned by prepISO.
ps3netsrv allows mount folders because it has a built-in virtual ISO generator that creates an in-memory ISO on-the-fly.
prepISO only can create a "fake ISO" for individual files using a feature that Estwald made originally for Iris Manager.
I've tried to add support for more files, but I found that it requires major changes in the logic of the function.
It is feasible, but hard to make.

Phew, for a minute there I thought I would have to play with some flags in the PARAM.SFO, thankfully that isn't the case. Since I'm on Linux, I used Xfburn instead of ImgBurn to create my ISO. Thanks for the help!You just need to create an ISO9660 with the packages in the root directory.
Once you mount the ISO from BDISO or DVDISO you can use the Install All Packages.
You could use ImgBurn. A PARAM.SFO is not needed.

@aldostools i'm wondering if a wallpaper can be installed directly by webman mod, withou an user interaction
just like themes using the following combination:
Code:/install.ps3to=/dev_hdd0/theme&url=http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/81e22suyoy45kk6/ValentinesDay.p3t;/wait.ps3?20;/install.ps3/dev_hdd0/theme/ValentinesDay.p3t
Currently a XMBML like @DeViL303's ones open the browser and then the user must know how to apply it as wallpaper ( many of the users don't know how ( Side menu > File > Save Image > [Photo Column] > Open the image and them Triangle > Set As Wallpaper)
Note: It does now work if extended download plugin is installed.
So a way to the user just click the XMBML menu and it automatically applies would be good.
I guess you could rename the downloaded file to /dev_hdd0/tmp/wallpaper/99.png
Then use /wallpaper.ps3?99
I haven't tried to do it myself, but it should work.
The problem is that i already have a toggle to switch on/off ( tmp/wallpaper.off <> tmp/wallpaper/ ) random wallpapers, if i create it in the /tmp/wallpaper folder, it will toggle it on.
So i'll forget about this ideia :P
A command like this would solve it
download_wallpaper.ps3?url=<url> - download a image file (png or jpeg from the url to /dev_hdd0/home/0000xx/theme/wallpaper.png (current user)
but i don't think is worth the hazzle.
I implemented a new feature that replaces the tag $USERID$ (upper case only) with the current user id number.
So you could use something like this:
/download.ps3?to=/dev_hdd0/home/$USERID$/theme/wallpaper.png&url=http://server/wallpaper.png
or
/copy.ps3/dev_hdd0/tmp/image.png&to=/dev_hdd0/home/$USERID$/theme/wallpaper.png
Also you can use the short path: http://localhost/$USERID$ to navigate to the home directory of the current user
Use the online updater from XMB to test the new feature. I will update later the packages in github & brewology.

@aldostools ...
Bonjour mon ami.
Ta dernière implémentation du WebMAN-Mod (v1.47.36) provoque un blocage du système lorsque le HEN active le MOD. Cette implémentation est celle que tu viens de fournir et que j'ai téléchargé ce matin puis une autre fois cette après-midi pour vérification. Le fichier "boot_plugins.txt" vide (sur clef USB) me permet de démarrer ma console sans le WebMAN-Mod.
La console est une PS3 modèle CECH-4204C sous le HFW-4.88.1/HEN-3.0.3.
Peux-tu m'indiquer le chemin pour DL la version qui précédait celle que tu as mise en place aujourd'hui; ou si tu le peux, me fournir une version compilée de l'implémentation précédente (elle fonctionnait très bien mais je ne l'ai plus car écrasée par l'actuelle).
Merci par avance et à très bientôt.
PS : je viens d'installer celle que tu as généré aujourd'hui à 15h07 heure locale et c'est toujours pareil.
Algol "le papy".

Hello my friend.
Your latest WebMAN-Mod implementation (v1.47.36) causes the system to crash when the HEN activates the MOD. This implementation is the one you just provided and that I downloaded this morning and then again this afternoon for verification. The empty "boot_plugins.txt" file (on USB key) allows me to start my console without the WebMAN-Mod.
The console is a PS3 model CECH-4204C under the HFW-4.88.1/HEN-3.0.3.
Can you show me the way for DL the version that preceded the one you put in place today; or if you can, provide me with a compiled version of the previous implementation (it worked fine but I no longer have it because overwritten by the current one).
Thank you in advance and see you very soon.
PS: I just installed the one you generated today at 3:07 p.m. local time and it's still the same.

@LuanTeles It looks like you have a real $USERID$ in /dev_hdd0/home
Maybe you got it created while making tests.
The tag $USERID$ is replaced in the path with the current user id when the path does not exists.
