Hi James,
I was also able to create a variable *within* the cck2.cfg file and reference
it within the config {} object variable too and that works fine. But I've been
unsuccessful in finding a way to import/load an external javascript file in
general from inside cck2.cfg. I just get "Failed to read the configuration
file". I've tried various permutations of Components.utils.import() but since
this is all new to me I don't really know what I'm doing. Hopefully Mr. Kaply
sees this and can provide some tips.

I don't think this is possible with CCK2 as it is - however, the cfg
file generated by CCK2 'imports' other javascript files from the cck2
directory tree - as the cfg file is javascript, then it should be
theoretically possible to 'import' separate department-specific settings
files in a similar manner ...

This should work fine - I've just hacked a CCK2 cfg file and moved the
'bookmarks' settings outside the CCK2 config{} - which worked fine
e.g.
// "before CCK2" section
var mybookmarks = {
"toolbar": [
{
"name": "XYZ",
"location": "http://xyz.some.site/";
}
],
"menu": [
{
"name": "ABC",
"location": "http://abc.another.site/";
}
]
};
// Autoconfig file written by CCK2
var config = {
...
"displayMenuBar": true,
"dontCheckDefaultBrowser": true,
"disableCrashReporter": true,
"disableTelemetry": true,
...
"bookmarks": mybookmarks,
...
"certs": {
"ca": [
{
...
};
If you are hacking a CCK2 cfg file, you need to change the value of
"version" in config{} - otherwise changes won't be picked up (when using
an existing firefox profile)
