Etoys project publishing with WebDav

Folks,

I am looking at a project hosting site similar to Scratch for Etoys and other Sugar Activities. To maintain compatibility with existing Etoys versions I plan to use WebDav. So some assumptions to make sure I don't start down the wrong path and my understanding of how Etoys works is correct:

I need a WebDav Server
I will need to create usernames/logins for each user to allow them to connect to the WebDav server.
Etoys logs into the WebDav server using the UserName/password provided and then places a copy of the project in the subdirectory <username>

So I need to request the following from the Sugarlabs folks:

WebDav Server
Ability to create login's (user/pass)
A cron job to detect newly uploaded files and parse them to get manifest information.

Thanks,

Stephen

Sounds about right, yes.

Bert,

Thanks, I think I found the code where I change the WebDav URL, I'll test locally and ask questions as needed.

Re: Etoys project publishing with WebDav

There shouldn't be a need to change code. You only need to put an additional servers file into the prefs folder. Etoys supports many servers at once. Although that might not have been exercised in a while.
