AlbertoGz 6 Report post Posted May 19, 2016 What is the recommedation to setup, configure and use a local storage Location, ftrack or ftrack_api? I see different docs about it. http://ftrack.rtd.ftrack.com/en/latest/developing/locations/tutorial.html http://ftrack-python-api.rtd.ftrack.com/en/latest/locations/tutorial.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milan Kolar 33 Report post Posted May 20, 2016 Depends on what API are you using. The first link is for the old API, while the second one applied to the new one. At this point I'd probably just start with the new one and only got to the old if you run into something it can't do. 1 Mattias Lagergren reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tobi 2 Report post Posted June 2, 2016 Is there any step by step manual for setting up location with the new api yet? I'm looking for some thing like this: The documentation is a great reference. But due to all the crossreferences it's hard to get an overall impression of all the steps that are actually needed to get locations to work. A step by step manual for locations using FTP accessors as some people requested before would also be nice 1 Mike reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattias Lagergren 145 Report post Posted June 3, 2016 Unfortunately not, but I agree - lots of api docs but would be good with an easier tutorial. For the actual configuration step, where you let your api session know about the location plugin, this is a good resource: http://ftrack-python-api.rtd.ftrack.com/en/latest/locations/configuring.html#configuring-automatically Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure this must be an easy fix, but I don't get it.. The path-variables have to be correct, since the lines above don't error. Is anybody else having issues with this? We would like to setup a customized structure-plugin, but for now, we're stuck on the first step.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattias Lagergren 145 Report post Posted January 11, 2018 Hi Tim, could you provide a small example script that produces the "no module named id". Try to keep the example small and self-contained. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Edelmann 1 Report post Posted January 12, 2018 There is a new-api version of a location-plugin which does the setup. This one seems to be working. And about the old api: I found out, what the problem was. The ftrack-connect-package I use, is a custom build. In this build, the file id.py wasn't packaged (for what ever reason..), which then resulted in the above error-msg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
