Forum OpenACS Development: Naviserver

Hi:

I need to port a filter defined like this:
ns_share -init {set ll_filters_installed 0} ll_filters_installed

so that it works with naviserver.

This link provides an example of how to migrate ns_share but not with the -init param and not in this manner: http://naviserver.sourceforge.net/n/naviserver/files/nsv.html#section3

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much,
Avni

Hi Avni, i think the migration rule says simply "use nsv instead of ns_share". I would assume you can replace

    ns_share -init {set ll_filters_installed 0} ll_filters_installed

by something like the following:

The "ns_share -init" command (the line above) can be dropped.
Somewhere in the code there will be test to check, if the filters are already installed. Use there something like:
```
if {![nsv_exists myshare ll_filters_installed]} {
   ...
}
```
Somewhere else will an assignment to indicate that the filters are installed. use there something like
```
   nsv_set myshare ll_filters_installed 1
```

There is not much magic involved. all the best
