templating.cfg file branch location question

smohrle

Hi there -

We are on win 2000, teamsite 6.5.

Question:
I have a main branch, say branch1, and a sub branch under this main branch called subBranch. I want to point some templates (forms) to this sub branch in the location tag on templating.cfg.

IE: <locations>
<branch vpath-regex="subBranch" />
</locations>

Problem is, when I do this, the main branch sees all the forms as well and I only want the sub branch to see the forms. I have also tried:
<locations>
<branch vpath-regex="branch1/subBranch" />
</locations>

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sarah Mohrle

Although not guaranteed to work you can try the following:

For the main branch, you can specify the vpath to the workarea like this:
<locations>
<branch vpath-regex="default/main/whateverpath/to/branch1/WORKAREA/wa1" />
<branch vpath-regex="default/main/whateverpath/to/branch1/WORKAREA/wa2" />
...
</locations>

For the sub-branch like this:

<locations>
<branch vpath-regex="default/main/whateverpath/to/branch1/sub-branch" />
</locations>


Ideally the branch vpath cannot specify the workarea (ie., not supported). But I have seen situations where this has been exploited - and other situations where it caused random permission problems.

No harm in trying let us know.
