ANN. Released v0.0.1 of the Custom Starting Point module

don't use this on a production box until you've tested it thoroughly. I can't think that it will break it, but what do I know?Ok here it is, a module to allow users to choose their own starting point within livelink. It doesn't work quite how i'd like but it's a good start.Create a customstart_1_0_0 directory under your LLHOME/Staging area and unpack the exe into it. If any unix users don't have a PC handy I can post the files as a tar, just ask.Run the normal module install procedure. Then modify your opentext.ini. You will be changing one line and adding another.In the [general] section find where it saysDefaultRH=note down the Now change it so that it isDefaultRH=CustomStart.HomeNow add a line below itFallbackRH=I aim to have the module installation do this eventually (it looks trivial) but didn't have time tonight.Ok, the module is installed (I hope!)To set a custom starting point; go to your personal workspace info page and select the new function "Set Starting Point".You will get a crappy looking HTML page (to be revised tomorrow) which allows you to browse the livelink server and select the project/workspace you want as your starting point.Now when you first open livelink you will get your new starting point instead of the system wide default. Again: I hope!For the technically minded, I am storing the Object ID of the choosen object in the Personal Workspace's extended data area as I think suggested by Mike Oliver earlier on (thanks Mike). I don't clean up the extended data area if the module is uninstalled, again that should come later maybe.What I would like is to have the browser page come up as a tab in the PWkSpc info page rather than a function, but I can't figure out how to inject tabs into the info page of an existing node type. I'll be working on that next.Anyway I'm going home to relax. I hope this is useful to someone else, it's quite exciting as this is my first "successful" custom module!!Best regards/matt.
