Installing the Plugin
This lesson will show you how to install the GLX Application Framework IDE plugin. Plugins are installed in the plugins folder of your Revolution User Extensions folder.
Locate Plugin Stack
You can locate the plugin stack in the ./plugin folder of the GLX Application Framework distribution folder. If you are using Revolution 3.5 or later then choose the plugin in the Revolution 3.5 or later folder. This version of the plugin uses a Data Grid and is more user friendly. This is the version of the plugin that will be updated moving forward.
Locate The User Extensions Folder
In the Files & Memory preferences pane you can find the full path to the User Extensions folder. Open this folder in your system file browser.
Add Plugin to Plugins Folder
In the User Extensions folder (1) you will find (or you need to create) a plugins folder (2). Place the glxApplicationProperties.rev plugin stack (3) in this folder and then launch Revolution.
Access Plugin From the Development Menu
Once you launch Revolution you can access the plugin from the Development menu.
I can't seem to find this folder on Windows 7. On my Vista laptop, I DO have the "My Revolution Enterprise" folder under my documents but there is no such folder on Win 7. There WAS a plugins folder under the 4.0-gm-1 folder under Program Files. Is this where it's supposed to go? It seems like I'd have to change it for every update to Revolution.
