In principle, this is similar to the shortcut override functionality. I noticed that there is only a get method defined fo retrieving properties of assets, i.e. it does not seem to be possible to change the template ID of an asset object. Is this correct? If that is the case, I assume one has to define a new class that inherits from Asset and overrides the get method. If the templateID is requested one simply returns the one that has been specified when the constructor was called. Would that work? Or is there an easier way? -- Trying to build a non-profit community portal for free-climbers around Magdeburg/Germany. Check out http://kletterfreunde-md.kashyyyk.de (under construction).

To start with, I copied the file RandomAssetProxy.pm to N?RandomAssetProxy.pm in the macro folder, changed the package name to WebGUI::Macro::NRandomAssetProxy and made an entry to the config file of the site ("NRandomAssetProxy" : "NRandomAssetProxy",). That is everything described in the wiki. Still, the macro is not resolved and all I get is a "^NRandomAssetProxy()" when I use it in a template. The original RandomAssetProxy still works fine. What did I miss? I did a restart of the whole system. Permissions of the new file are also fine. WebGUI version is 7.4.34.

I used the unix init script that ships with WRE. I requested a restart with /etc/init.d/webgui restart. The script than calls "/data/wre/sbin/wreservice.pl --quiet --restart" which includes a restart of the mod_perl server!?
