Cool VL Viewer forum

Would it be possible to add a grid manager to Cool Viewer, similar to what Hippo, Meerkat, and Imprudence have? So far, I've found it impossible to add new grids to the grids.xml file, because of a cryptic "Incomplete grid definition" error, and I'm fairly certain I entered in the data correctly.

Adding a new grid is extremely simple... SImply add a new blocl, like so:

All key lines are required, excepted for login_page. If there is no helper_uri, use an empty string for that key. The minimum block is therefore as follow:

Note that the "name" key is not critical (it's a mere way to distinguish a grid from another in the code but it is not displayed neither used as a connection parameter). The label is displayed in the grid selection combo and is limited to 20 characters (the next release will extend it to 32). Also, the login URI is sometimes using another port than 8002 (9000, for example), simply use the parameters as provided on the grid website. The same remark goes for the URLs form used in this example (use the provided parameters).

The next release of the Cool SL Viewer will include an overhaul of the grid list (with all dead grids removed, a few updated, and some more added).

That's how I had entered it, unless there's some tiny error that escaped me:


EDIT: Also, Cool Viewer apparently ignores the --loginuri command line parameter.

And here is the "tiny error": "<key>label></key>" should read "<key>label</key>"
