custom page examples?
I'd like to have a "mirror selection" for my online installer, is there any examples out there I can learn from?

i would like to have this as a separate page in the installer

and a dropdown menu with the different mirrors..

sort of like the "select installation folder" page, but with a dropdown instead of the text field.

I'm reading the mirrors from a mirrors.ini file containing

[mirrors]
1=http://mirror1.com
2=http://mirror2.com
3=http://mirror3.com
etc..

Use InstallOptions, or EmbeddedLists.dll plugin.

Function MirrorSelectStart

 EmbeddedLists::Dialog SingleSelect /HEADINGTEXT "Please select a mirror to download fQuake distfiles from:" /GROUPTEXT "bla1" "bla2" "bla3" "bla4"
 Pop $R0

 StrCpy $DISTFILES_MIRROR "$R0"

FunctionEnd

Function MirrorSelectEnd

 Pop $R0

 MessageBox MB_OK "$R0"

FunctionEnd

I'd like to put the string contained within $R0 into a new variable, but StrCpy $NEWVAR "$R0" does NOT work. any explanation? :) (yes i have Var NEWVAR) in the script)

Pop $NEWVAR?

Make sure Var NEWVAR is placed above the function in your script.

do I have to pop every time i want to use the var?

I want to have the variable set for the rest of the installation, in all sections and functions..
