Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Workflow package download, Where and How-To

Collapse

We found it, downloaded it to the package folder, it installed fine via install service and now we are trying to use the tclsh interpreter as follows:
package require workflow
can't find package workflow

The main thing is trying to use the tclsh interpreter and we see that some packages work and some packages do not work. Where can we go to better understand how this works with the OpenACS and in particular the status of using the Workflow package which is what is required for a provisioning system we have inherited a design for that we need to make work better.

OK. We found the following document which is explaining
http://tmml.sourceforge.net/doc/tcl/pkgMkIndex.html
pkg_mkIndex -
Build an index for automatic loading of packages

Are we on the right track?

Kenneth,

OpenACS packages are not related to the Tcl package concept at all. You can not call "package require" from tclsh and expect any OpenACS package to function.

Most OpenACS packages will require the AOLserver Tcl APIs especially database APIs to function.
