HQU Plugin - byPlugin

[laullon]

I've wrote a very simple HQPlugin, 'Hello world' , please see attached .tgz file and screenshot.

If HQUPligin is attached to system plugin (byPlugin:'system'), it does works well, but, if it's attached to other plugin (byPlugin:'postgresql'), it doesn't work...

I saw 'byPlugin' option in hq.war/hqu/live_exec/Plugin.groovy file.

Do I need to do something more to attach the HQUPlugin to another pluging ?

Hey German,

I'm interested in trying out your plugin, and will give you some
feedback later today.

In the meantime, the easy-attachment code (byPlugin) only really
works well for Platforms. This code lives in HQUPlugin.groovy.

It is possible to attach to any resource (plast, server, service), so
if you'd like more complex attachments, I suggest you take a look at
HQUPlugin.groovy and rip out the code you need (or better, provide a
patch)

German,

I've updated the addView() method to work for general resource types.

Simply use:

addView(description: 'FileTail',
attachType: 'resource',
resourceType: ['FileServer File', 'Script'],
controller: FiewController,
action: 'index')

The resourceType argument is what you want.

This is available in HEAD, the 3.2 branch, and will be contained within next week's 3.2.2 release.

Once you have this, you can use 'getViewedResource()' from your controller to get the resource that the user is looking at.
