acp import problem

[felipe]

Hello,
I've created a simple model and I use it under the web client UI. The problem is I would like to create an ACP file in order to import simple objects (type cm:cmobject).
Is it possible?
If it is, why this doesn't work?

MODEL :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!– Definition of new Model –>

Hello,

An ACP file must be of zip format.

So, you should have a simple zip file containing one .xml file in the root.

e.g.

 import.acp
    import.xml
‍‍‍

The reason it's a zip is to allow the inclusion of supplementary content files (e.g. word docs) which may also be imported with the meta-data.

OK, thanks,
I had made this hierarchy but into a folder, so!
