Hello, all. This is my first post to this list. I'm Dave Loyall, from Omaha, Nebraska, USA. :)
I intend to make a small modification to nm-applet and submit it upstream. A client of mine requires a new feature, which I can implement. I hope that others will be able to benefit from the change as well. The feature will allow administrators to set the default connection scope for new connections to System. Users with appropriate permissions can already create System Connections, but this feature will allow them to do with without having to click edit and check the "available to all users" box. (My client requires this, for purposes of a smooth user experience on the systems he controls.) So, I figure I can add key/value pair to the existing configuration file. I'll model my code after plugin_get_hostname(SCPluginKeyfile *plugin) in network-manager-0.8/system-settings/plugins/keyfile/plugin.c. ...Which brings me to my question. Why does plugin_get_hostname take an SCPluginKeyfile as an argument? 'plugin' doesn't seem to be touched inside this function. Is it used in a way that I'm not familiar with? Does the function I'll make need to take SCPluginKeyfile *plugin as well--I mean, is this required by some interface spec? For bonus points: Is my strategy sound? :) Cheers, and thanks, --Dave For your convenience: //snip from network-manager-0.8/system-settings/plugins/keyfile/plugin.c static char * plugin_get_hostname (SCPluginKeyfile *plugin) { GKeyFile *key_file; char *hostname = NULL; GError *error = NULL; key_file = g_key_file_new (); if (g_key_file_load_from_file (key_file, CONF_FILE, G_KEY_FILE_NONE, &error)) hostname = g_key_file_get_value (key_file, "keyfile", "hostname", NULL); else { g_warning ("Error parsing file '%s': %s", CONF_FILE, error->message); g_error_free (error); } g_key_file_free (key_file); return hostname; } //end snip //more snip from the same static void sc_plugin_keyfile_init (SCPluginKeyfile *plugin) { SCPluginKeyfilePrivate *priv = SC_PLUGIN_KEYFILE_GET_PRIVATE (plugin); priv->hostname = plugin_get_hostname (plugin); } //end snip _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
