AltostratusIrule editor question
I want to add irule in a folder ,such as /Common/folder_name/irule_name,but I can'f achieve this in "File---New" in irule editor
Is there a way to do this? If it is not doable at this moment,does F5 has ETA for this feature? Thanks for your great help

Hi Robert, Sorry if this is not, but, you're asking about writing irule into user partitions?Right now, the iRule Editor defaults to the partition selected under the file menu. If you change the partition there, then all subsequent actions will happen in that partition.

Robert_47833No, I am asking about writing irule into subfolder such as /partition_name/folder_name/irule_name- Robert_47833
any update ?? :)
Right now that feature isn't available in the Editor. I'll put that on my list of enhancements for a future update. If you have a need for a faster update, the source for the Editor is available for a custom build.

which part should I change? any instruction?
what api is used to call irule under folder?
I haven't done much with folders in a while but I think you can either call the System.Session.set_active_folder() method with a path to default to (ie. /my/folder/path) and then create the object with a single name (myirule), or pass in the full path to the created object (/my/folder/path/myirule).
For the editor, I would likely just add a new extension to the File.Partition menu which
1) queries the Management.Folder.get_list() method for all available folders 2) Add an option to "create" a folder that then prompts for a path and then calls the Management.Folder.create() method. 3) When user selects a folder (much like the partition), it calls the System.Session.set_active_folder().
It will likely require some refreshes of the tree view when things are selected or changed.
Or you could wait until I get to the next update in the next few months or so...
