workgroup path in interface for scripts etc. 2005-06-27 - By kim aldis

I think I follow you. Would more than one workgroup help you, set some
locations to have only the one then cherry-pick others at other locations,
on top of the base and according to local needs?

Argh... scripting, you already lost me here. Don't know where to go with
that line of scritping hehehe ;)
My initial thought was to keep the folder with the scripts, trays etc.
outside the workgroup to keep it "clean" and only have installed shaders,
plugins etc in the workgroup folder.
The other folder that contains all kinds of presets, textures, models,
scripts, trays etc. would be outside the workgroup folder, so I can easily
update it on the other location(s). And because it's only linked, not
installed on the workgroup there's no risk on breaking something.
I just want to apply this setup to several locations with one default
company interface, but maybe I'm going the wrong way here.....
I don't know if this makes any more sence. I'll have a look at this tonight,
see if I can find something in the manuals anbout this.
Cheers for the replies so far,

if the toolbars are in your workgroup then
getValue("preferences.data_management.workgroup_appl_path")
Is that what you mean?

Hi Kim,
This would be from XSI. Scenario would be opening XSI, choosing the
interface, and from within the interface setup the appropiate trays, views
etc. would be "build" from the files on the server. But the path in the
interface would be a variable to these files instead of a given path. Hope
this makes sence.
cheers,

would this be from xsi or from, say, a command prompt, Rob?

Hi all,
Just a quick thought, when I want to add some toolbars in my interface, can
I use the %_WGRP_SHADERPLUGINS% variable to look them up on the server??
What I want is to use one/the same interface on a couple of locations, and
would like to have the script-trays etc. in that interface available on both
locations.
So I thought making trays with the %_WGRP_SHADERPLUGINS% variable hacked in
the XML interface file instead of a \\server\workgroup folder.
Will this work or not? Obviously the server names are different on the
several locations ;)
cheers for any replies or tips.
