====== Hosting GUI Projects ======
guiDesigner projects can be hosted remotely. This allows users to download projects to their devices even when guiDesigner is not running.\\
\\
This may be useful when updating a clients GUI. The project can be uploaded to a server, and the URL given to the end user to enter into guiDesigner settings. The project would then automatically be downloaded and installed on the device when ''Reload GUI Layout'' is enabled in [[software:iviewer:settings|iViewer Settings]].\\

===== Exporting a Project =====
The first step is to export the .gui project. \\
\\
To do this, open the project in guiDesigner and click ''File''>''Export''>''Project Archive''. \\
{{:software:knowledge-base:commandfusion_guidesigner_export_project_archive.png?nolink|}}\\
This save a .zip file in the same location as your project is currently saved.

===== Uploading Project to Server =====
The project can then be uploaded to any location that is accessible by the device that you want the GUI loaded onto.\\
Enter the address of the file in ''File URL'' under [[software:iviewer:settings|iViewer settings]] on the device. You must include the complete file URL including .zip

==== Using Dropbox to Host Projects ====
Dropbox can be used to host projects. To do this, move the exported project to a location on your PC that syncronises with Dropbox.\\
Then right click on the file and choose ''Dropbox''>''Share Link''. \\
{{:software:knowledge-base:commandfusion_guidesigner_dropbox_link.png?nolink|}}

This will open up a web browser.\\
\\
Because we need a direct download link, we then need to change the link it gives us.\\
You will have something such as this in your address bar: ''https://www.dropbox.com/s/v7ikx4p6xod8x9u/projectname.zip''\\
All we need to do is change the ''www'' to ''dl''. You can test this my doing this in your address bar. This is the address that you type into ''File URL'' under iViewer settings.
