void DigitalSpaces::DIDataResourceManager::AddSearchPath

(

const char *

sURL

)

Adds an absolute URL to be used for expanding relative URLs.

Note:

The current implementation (ResourceManager as part of DigitalSpacesCore) supports

• Local system directories (Paths starting with a drive letter, not network paths)
• Local system relative directories
• HTML content (check is first character is '<' )
• Folders containing the file file.index (for both local folders and remote folders)

When parsing HTML content (file.index should be a HTML file), the implementation looks for <a href="accessURL">ResourceName</a> . The content needs to be valid XML.

You do not need to prepend local system paths with file:// . You do need to include the drive letter.

DIDataResource* DigitalSpaces::DIDataResourceManager::GetResource

(

const char *

sURL

)

Returns a data resource.

It will search the URLs added through AddSearchPath for a match, and if not found, attempt to open as an absolute URL.

void DigitalSpaces::DIDataResourceManager::GetResourceNames

(

DIStringList1 *

list

)

Returns the names of all the resources currently available.

These are usually added by AddSearchPath, but will also include any added by GetResource with an absolute path.

Parameters:

list

String List that will have the available resource names appended to it. The implementation will not clear the content of this list.
