You can make DTA easier by providing a custom filter before selecting. Use the regexp (check that box) and enter something like: /https:\/\/yourdomain.grouphub.com\/projects\/\d{7}\/file\/\d*\/*/ That will probably only get the files you want.

I couldn't get DownloadThemAll to work for the longest time, and then figured out how to do it: - You need Firefox 2.0 and an older version of DownloadThemAll (like 0.9.9.x) This will take about 10 mins to setup, and it might be a pain to boot up Firefox 2 for this purpose, but if you have a lot of files, in a lot of projects, this will still be worth it (it was for me) You can get firefox 2.0 builds here: http://www.oldapps.com/firefox.php For mac, here: http://mac.oldapps.com/firefox.php Then you must get an older version of downloadthemall here (before 1.0) - I used 0.9.9.10 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addons/versions/201 Then you can use it by going to each page of files, and then selecting the ones that really are files. They end with file extensions. Watch out for duplicate links and decide if you need old versions. Play with the selection abilities in DTA. You'll have to play with it for a few minutes until you get the hang of it. This isn't the ideal solution, but it's not bad.

Hey folks... My first post here. Please be gentle. heh-heh.. Here's my situation: I need a way to create new projects through the API. I want to integrate Basecamp with a filtering / approval system that I need to build. Basecamp Projects need to be built automatically from that. I didn't see a "new project" option with the API though. Please tell me if there's something I'm missing. Thanks, Khalim Hey folks… My first post here. Please be gentle. heh-heh..

When you do the connect, throw a 'true' at the end to use SSL. For example: Basecamp.establish_connection!('myurl.com','user','pass',true) That will fix it. Without that, it is trying to redirect you to the https equivalent and throwing that exception. Still, it is weird that it calls a redirect an error? BTW- Don't post your "Authorization: Basic XYZZY=" stuff! That isn't a hash, that's just a text encoded string that almost trivial to convert back to "username:password".

I agree there should be an internal way in BC to download all the files either at once or in groups, anything but one at a time. I just added DownloadThemAll (DTA) to Firefox and it worked perfectly!! Yes there are a few steps you have to take, but I just downloaded about 200 files in about 5 mins. Once you get DTA added to firefox, navigate to your first files page in basecamp, right click on the page and choose DTA OR from the tools menu, choose DTA. It will identify every link on the page. Yes this includes logout, help, tabs for todos/milestones, etc. In the DTA window, select (using ctrl or shift to select groups or specific items) the links that are unnecessary and indicate to not download by unchecking. After the first time doing this every time after will be simple. I did not even mess with filters. For me, the first 23-25 links are just that, links on the page. Look at the description column, find your first filename on the page and select everything above it. Then select all the remaining items either by using the description field or just look at the link - if it has a number at the end instead of a filename, select it. Once you have everything selected, right click, choose "toggle check for selected items" OR "uncheck selected items". Browse to where you want to store the items on your local drive, click start. Once you finish one page of files in BC, then goto the next page and repeat. Again, once you do the first time, it is quite simple. One way to verify you have all the files is to look at the bottom of the DTA screen and it will indicate xx of xx files. Count your files in the BC page, including versioned files and it should be the same. Good Luck.

We just deployed a change to the Basecamp comments API. Starting today, @GET /#{resource}/#{resource_id}/comments.xml@ for messages, comments, and todo items will return only the most recent 50 comments. The comments are returned in ascending order by creation time. On the root @<comments>@ element, you'll now find a @count@ attribute that indicates the total number of comments on the resource. Additionally, if there are older comments not included in the XML response, the @continued-at@ attribute will contain a paginated path to retrieve the next oldest 50 comments. Paginated paths use a @threshold@ parameter to specify the id of the oldest comment that the API client has received. So @GET /posts/1/comments.xml?threshold=101@ returns the next set of 50 comments older than comment 101. Example requests and responses: Assume you have a message with id 1, which has 150 comments whose ids are 1 through 150. @GET /posts/1/comments.xml@ <pre><code><comments count="150" continued-at="/posts/1/comments.xml?threshold=101">  </comments> </code></pre> @GET /posts/1/comments.xml?threshold=101@ <pre><code><comments count="150" continued-at="/posts/1/comments.xml?threshold=51">  </comments></code></pre> @GET /posts/1/comments.xml?threshold=51@ <pre><code><comments count="150">  </comments></code></pre> Official documentation is available on the API site: http://developer.37signals.com/basecamp/comments.shtml We just deployed a change to the Basecamp comments API.
