kioslave implementation help

[fluc...@infinito.it]

Hi all,
I'm trying to implement a simple kioslave, but I don't understand well the lifecycle and therefore how the slave should behave.
If I get it right, the get() method is called each time a specific URL must be retrieved (e.g., a local file), while listDir and stat each time a folder content must be shown. Now, what I'd like to make into my slave is that when the root URL is called, a list of virtual folder is shown. Therefore I placed my simple implementation of listDir and stat as follows:

void RoleFS::listDir( const KUrl& url ){
  KIO::UDSEntry dirEntry;
  dirEntry.insert( KIO::UDSEntry::UDS_NAME, "TEST" );
  dirEntry.insert( KIO::UDSEntry::UDS_FILE_TYPE, S_IFDIR );
 
  // emit a signal to list this entry
  listEntry( dirEntry, true );
  totalSize(1);
  finished();

}


void RoleFS::stat(const KUrl& url)
{
    KIO::UDSEntry dirEntry;
    dirEntry.insert( KIO::UDSEntry::UDS_NAME, "TEST" );
    dirEntry.insert( KIO::UDSEntry::UDS_FILE_TYPE, S_IFDIR );
    statEntry( dirEntry );
    finished();
}


However I don't undestand how to force konqueror to list dirs when the root URL is placed into the address bar (e.g., rolefs:///), since the get method is the only one called. I've had a look at the audiocd slave implementation, that is similar to mine, but I don't understand how to instrument the get() method to force a directory listing instead of a single data retrieval. Can anybody point me to the solution?

Thanks,
Luca

Do you have the listing entry in your .protocol file?

The following is my protocol file:

[Protocol]
DocPath=kioslave/kio_rolefs.html
exec=kio_rolefs
input=none
output=filesystem
protocol=rolefs
reading=true
Icon=folder
listing=Name,Type

so I guess the listing entry is right. I've tried to change the list method
to force emitting the folders (that I have saved into a QList):

void RoleFS::listDir( const KUrl& url ){

kDebug(7000) << "[Entering RoleFS::listDir] URL = " <<
url.toMimeDataString();

for( int i = 0; i < rootFolders.size(); i++ ){
KIO::UDSEntry& dirEntry = *(rootFolders.at( i ));

// emit a signal to list this entry
listEntry( dirEntry, true );
}

//totalSize( rootFolders.size() );
data( QByteArray() );
finished();
kDebug(7000) << "[Exiting RoleFS::listDir]";
}

However this still does not work. My get method is almost empty:

void RoleFS::get( const KUrl &url ){
kDebug(7000) << "[Entering RoleFS::get] URL = " <<
url.toMimeDataString();

finished(); // success

kDebug(7000) << "[Exiting RoleFS::get]";
}

Am I doing something wrong?

Without looking at the code, don't know. But no, don't send me the code, you
said yourself that you wanted to do something similar to what audiocd:/ does,
so get the code of audiocd and start stripping it down and modifying it until
it does what you want. And then you'll find the difference with yours.

Cheers,
