<h3>How to do this?</h3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">E</span>nter the name of the new function as well as a text description if
you wish.<br>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">Y</span>ou will then reach a page where you can add parameters to your
new function.<br><br>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">D</span>on't forget to add the function file inside the
<LIBDIR>/python/cdsware/websubmit_functions directory and to name the file after the function. Functions must
be written in Python. Here is an example implementation of a function:<BR><BR>
<LIBDIR>/python/cdsware/websubmit_functions/Get_Report_Number.py:</SMALL>
<TABLE border=0 width=75% bgcolor="eeeeff"><TR><TD><small><pre><br>
def Get_Report_Number (parameters,curdir,form):
global rn
#Path of file containing report number
if os.path.exists("%s/%s" % (curdir,parameters['edsrn'])):
fp = open("%s/%s" % (curdir,parameters['edsrn']),"r")
rn = fp.read()
rn = rn.replace("/","_")
rn = re.sub("[\n\r ]+","",rn)
else:
rn = ""
return ""
<pre></small></TD></TR></TABLE>
<br>
The function parameters are passed to the function through the parameters dictionary.<br>
The curdir parameter contains the current submission directory path.<br>
The form parameter contains the form passed to the current web page for possible reference from inside the
function.
