little help with templates

[ederjagreda]

Hello again ,

as I mentioned in the  former post. I managed to create new templates, but there is something I m not able yet to do.

Since I want to use tactic for a tv spots production,  that means a  lot of projects will be created, there are some thing that I would like to have by default.For this specific example,I would like to have assetTypes already defined : character, prop, element, etc.

I know its possible,using plugins, and I already started reading about them, but since we will always use the same types, it would be nice, to have them when creating the project.

What I tried so far:


1.Create a new project, using vfx template  , and mark project as template, create needed asset Types, and then generate a zip file.But, when a new project is created using this project template, it does not have those asset types created.

2.I took a look a t vfx template, since I realized that  in project configuration there are some  entries already created like in naming where  2 entries are found by default.

I found  a line in the manifest.xml that says : "<sobject search_type="config/naming" seq_max="2"/>" and also a file called config_naming.spt where entries where created. I tried to replicate this  adding a line to the xml file :       <sobject search_type="config/asset_type" seq_max="2"/> and also created a file called config_asset_type.spt where I created an entry:

#-- Start Entry --#

insert = SearchType.create('config/asset_type')

insert.set_value('code', """Character""")

insert.set_value('description', """test""")

#-- End Entry --#

But this does not work, When I try to create  a project based on this modified template, I get an error that says search type[config/asset_type] not registered.

Sorry for the long post, and any help would be really appreciated.

Cheers
