Re: [orion-dev] beginner questions about plugins

Hi Philippe,

At the moment, the Orion navigator only knows how to open a limited, hard-coded set of file types. We need to add support for registering additional file types (see [1] ).
As a temporary workaround, you can craft a URL that takes you to an editor for a file. In your case it might look something like:

http://localhost:8080/coding.html#http://localhost:8080/A/mysource/somefile.cst

(You can get the part after the # by finding the .cst file you want to edit in the navigator, and copying its URL.)

Re: having to reinstall the plugin -- the list of plugins you've installed is kept in your browser's localStorage, which shouldn't be affected by a server restart.
Here are a few things I can think of that *would* require you to reinstall your plugin:

- Your cookies were cleared at some point (doing this can also wipe your localStorage)
- You're accessing your server via a different port, hostname, or scheme (causing the browser to treat it as a different site for localStorage purposes)

Regards,
Mark

Ah, the problem was that I was on OpenAjax 2.0.7 with doesn't have the
file, in this version it's called rpc_relay.html. Reverting back to
2.0.2 fixed the problem.

Now I have a new problem however. When I try to edit a file instead of
the editor I get a download window or a plain file. Do I additionally
need to register the editor besides the styler or do I have to add a
mime mapping or something similar? You can see the source code at [1]
and the plugin is deployed at [2].

Another problem I have is that whenever I restart the Orion server I
have to reinstall the plugin. Is this known or did I something wrong?
