[Anthill-pro] Re: [Anthill-dev] AnthillPro interface different than web interface

[Eric Minick]

Jerónimo,

There isn't anything currently in place that would do this.

Your best bet is probably a custom module, which we can provide some 
pointers on. Another common approach is to set up a template project 
that has no schedule and whose security restraints keep anyone but 
administrators from using it. Then you copy that project around and 
tweak settings to configure a new project.

One could imagine this being done via scripting as well. You would set 
up a 'generate project' Anthill project which would have a 
FileSystemRepository driver and would point at the location where you 
dump your configuration xml files. A script could be triggered that 
would read the xml file and do it's thing. But if you're going to be 
fooling around with that much in depth work in the UI, you probably want 
to be working with compiled code in a module.

Support for importing projects via xml is present in Anthill3 though. 
There's also export functionality. That makes setting up a project 
template pretty straightforward there as well as sharing project 
patterns between organizations.

Regards,
Eric
