Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: How to integrate an existing application package with dotLRN

<h2>New Improved Version</h2>

Since all the renaming and replacing stuff can be dull I created a little script that does all the magic for you. You can download a new version of the integration package here.

<h2>Usage</h2>

Simply extract the archive and call the script via

tclsh run.tcl

Here a sample output. User entries are highlighted:

dotLRN Integration Support
----------------------------------------------------
Note: You need a clean copy of the integration
      package each time you run this script.
      This service assumes that you have already
      created a package and want to integrate it
      with dotLRN.
----------------------------------------------------
Enter the package key (no white-space):
my-package
The pretty name for your package     :

Your lastname                        :

Thank you Nima Mazloumi
for using the integration support.
Two packages will be created for the package
My First Package (my-package).

---------------------------------------------------- Creating Package my-package-portlet... ... done. ---------------------------------------------------- Creating Package dotlrn-my-package... ... done. ---------------------------------------------------- Finished! ---------------------------------------------------- Copy the packages to your OpenACS packages folder and use the Package Manager for installation.
