Create Sitegroup MultiSettings

Helps to create a MultiSettings object to run some or all sites in a Sitegroup.

createSitegroupMultiSettings(templateSettings, sitegroupId, nSite,
  con = NULL, params = templateSettings$database$bety)

Arguments

templateSettings	A Settings object that will be the template for the resulting MultiSettings.
sitegroupId	The Bety ID of the sitegroup to draw from
nSite	The number of sites to randomly select (without replacement) from the siteGroup. Omit to use all sites in the group.
con, params	Bety DB connection or parameters. passed directly to db.query

Value

A MultiSettings object with the same settings as templateSettings but site information for the selected sites

Details

Starts with a template settings object, and fills in the run block with site info sampled from the sitegroup. The template could be fully set up except for the site info, or more or less empty if you plan to fill in the other settings later. A MultiSettings is created from templateSettings, nSite sites (or all of them, if nSite is unset) are selected from Bety, and their info is dropped into the MultiSettings.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
dontrun <- function() { ## Added by Alexey Shiklomanov so this doesn't run and break the build

# This isn't necessarily a fully working settings object. Enough to get the idea though. 
# Note it has a $run block with settings that will be shared across all sites
