[Building Sakai] Forcing Resources to be installed on a site

[Jaques Smith]

Thanks Alan & Steve,

Yes, that helps.

What about if I want to make some tools dependent on other tools. I can manage that by doing Sakai administration and saying, if you install this then install that and having a process around that. But can I make it so that the tool will automatically manage that for the user?

I was hoping there is something like that already in Sakai but I haven't found anything. So what I'll do is to do a check when the tool start to see if all dependencies are satisfied and prompt the user to do it, or ask the user if the tool can just set it up automatically, given it is possible which in this case it is.

Thanks for the help,
Jaques

There is an XML config file you can set, as Alan linked to. You can also create a set of 'template' sites and then create new sites based on those templates. The new sites will take on the page and tool structure, but not the users or content (although that is possible too), so it is perfect for setting up and then cloning out to your new sites.

cheers,
Steve

Hi All,

We are busy building a tool for Sakai. The tool will need the Resource tool in the site. How can I force the Resource tool to be installed?
Sakai 2.7

Thanks,
Jaques
