Re: XSIDatabase.com Updates!

Hey Bernard,

I'm not sure if this would help...  Doesn't the PluginRegister only tell 
you where is has already been installed / loaded from??  I need to 
determine whether the user has selected the user addon directory or the 
workgroup addon directory.

Here is my code fro the v6_02 plugin (Just hacked the sample code from 
the TD Layout):

function XSILoadPlugin( in_reg )
   in_reg.Author = "Eric Thivierge"
   in_reg.Name = "Import XSIDB v6_02 Scene Plugin"
   in_reg.Email = ""
   in_reg.URL = ""
   in_reg.Major = 1
   in_reg.Minor = 0

   in_reg.RegisterCommand 
"Import_XSIDB_v6_02_Scene","Import_XSIDB_v6_02_Scene"
   in_reg.RegisterMenu 
siMenuMainFileImportID,"Import_XSIDB_v6_02_Scene_Menu",false,false
   'RegistrationInsertionPoint - do not remove this line

   XSILoadPlugin = true
end function

function XSIUnloadPlugin( in_reg )
   dim strPluginName
   strPluginName = in_reg.Name
   Application.LogMessage strPluginName & " has been unloaded."
   XSIUnloadPlugin = true
end function

function Import_XSIDB_v6_02_Scene_Init( ctxt )
   dim oCmd
   set oCmd = ctxt.Source
   oCmd.Description = "Import XSIDB v6.02 Scene"
   oCmd.Tooltip = "Import XSIDB v6.02 Scene"
   oCmd.SetFlag siCannotBeUsedInBatch,true
   oCmd.ReturnValue = false

   Import_XSIDB_v6_02_Scene_Init = true
end function

sub Import_XSIDB_v6_02_Scene_Execute(  )

   Application.LogMessage "Import_XSIDB_v6_02_Scene_Execute called"
   '
   XSIDBv6File = Application.InstallationPath( siUserPath ) & 
"\Addons\XSIDB\Data\Scene Files\Scenes\XSIDB_ShaderBall_v3_6.02.scn"
   OpenScene XSIDBv6File
   '
end sub

function Import_XSIDB_v6_02_Scene_Menu_Init( ctxt )
   dim oMenu
   set oMenu = ctxt.Source
   oMenu.AddCommandItem 
"Import_XSIDB_v6_02_Scene","Import_XSIDB_v6_02_Scene"
   Import_XSIDB_v6_02_Scene_Menu_Init = true
end function
