small seaside image
by Avi Bryant 25 May '07

25 May '07

A while ago I mentioned on this list a stripped 3.7-based Seaside image that was around 7.5MB. A couple of people have emailed me offlist asking for it, and I've finally gotten around to actually putting one up somewhere. You can grab it from: http://smallthought.com/avi/Seaside2.6.zip This includes Scriptaculous and is up to, I think, around 7.8MB now. Let me know if there are any problems getting or using it. Avi

Swazoo versions
by Esteban A. Maringolo 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

Hi, Today I was playing with the published version of Seaside made by Avi Bryant the last week, which uses the Swazoo version for Dolphin made by Sean Malloy, to add some missing functionalities I had working in my earlier port of Seaside to Dolphin. Considering to what Sean says in his website, the port is based on the 0.9.101 version, while Steve Waring's one is based on 0.9.99 (apparently). Sean's version is more conscise in terms of number of packages, but it misses some classes such as SwazooSiteScript and other very useful tools, available in Steve's version. Considering that the Swazoo topic got warm this days, and that today it's more a jungle than a zoo ;-), we could arrange some efforts to make it converge into a single stream of development, at least compatible with what already exists in Dolphin. For example, you can't have Seaside and Spray web services running on the same image, because they're incompatible (besides the fact that the naming convention of Steve is different to the Sean's one*). Plus, Dolphin ships with Steve's version, which is appropriate considering the existing goodies and packages available, but not the best option aiming to a broader audience through Seaside and other popular developments that would come. I leave the topic here, to see if there is enough interest to make it happen. I would like to see Sean, Steve, Janko, the OA people, perhaps Bruce Badger too, and anybody willing to collaborate at least in testing, joining efforts for this. Best regards, -- Esteban. * Steve: I will be happy to know what SW, SV, and other prefixes mean. :-) ps: this is a cross-post to c.l.s.d, Swazoo and Seaside mailing lists, sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Field validation?
by Boris Popov 22 Jul '06

22 Jul '06

Morning, The round of questioning continues. How would I go about doing field validation nicely? Say, an amount field that contains a valid description of a numeric amount. I can think of three ways of doing it: - Client side JavaScript: is there any abstraction model for this in Seaside or Scriptaculous? - Server side processing: could validate the fields in the form submit callback and return back to the form with some feedback - AJAX: could validate the field on the server as soon as user leaves it, any good examples of this? Thanks! -Boris -- +1.604.689.0322 DeepCove Labs Ltd. 4th floor 595 Howe Street Vancouver, Canada V6C 2T5 boris(a)deepcovelabs.com CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This email is intended only for the persons named in the message header.

RE: [Seaside] Lightbox?
by Bany, Michel 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

> The Seaside script.aculo.us package has some experimental > support for a lighbox using a special #call: like method. > Lukas, I am having trouble with the lightbox: method. I re-implemented #inform: in my component to use #lightbox: instead of #call: It works fine except when both conditions below apply : (1) Using IE (2) The calling component has one or more select element(s). In such situations the select elements are not grayed out, are modifiable and are on top of the lightbox. Probably another IE annoyance, other browsers are OK. Does anyone know of the IE trick that would circumvent this ? Thanks, Michel.

Disable styles in WAWalkback?
by Boris Popov 01 Jul '06

01 Jul '06

Currently whenever a walkback occurs, the WAWalkback seems to inherit the styles from the application that caused it. How would I go about un-styling it as it looks very odd with our table styles applied to it :) Thanks! -Boris -- +1.604.689.0322 DeepCove Labs Ltd. 4th floor 595 Howe Street Vancouver, Canada V6C 2T5 boris(a)deepcovelabs.com CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This email is intended only for the persons named in the message header.

Using updater on expired sessions?
by Boris Popov 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

Hmm, if you use a scriptaculous updater to refresh contents of a given 'div' after your session expires, the new contents will include a brand new copy of the application's home page :) Workarounds, anyone?

Slightly OT -- Glorp session question..
by Rick Flower 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

I'm posting this question here and on the Glorp mailing list (separately) to improve my chances of getting a reply.. (hopefully), so I hope you'll bear with me.. I've got a Seaside App that needs to read various things from various PostgreSQL tables using Glorp.. So, I've got all of my descriptors setup for my >10 tables I need access to.. So far my Glorp session only knows about my "users" table which it uses to perform login validations. That code works great and can validate all day long.. However, I now have some other code that needs to lookup a list of state abbreviations (e.g. CA,AZ,UT,NV,etc) and I'm a bit confused about how to go about getting that descriptor plugged into my Glorp session.. I'd rather NOT open another database connection if at all possible (I'd hate to have one db connection for each table I'm talking to -- way too much overhead) and am wondering if I need to redefine my Glorp session code to know about ALL of my tables instead of a single one? Or, can I hijack the "users" Glorp session and temporarily ask it to talk to another set of descriptors at my discretion? I've read through the tutorials I've found but most were geared towards only talking to one table at a time or perhaps one table with a foreign key to another, but I didn't see any examples on IF you had two or more separate (unrelated for the most part) tables and how to setup Glorp to talk to those disparate tables at different times within the same database session. I've also review the Glorp unit tests and didn't see anything similar to what I'm asking about above, but did find a few things that looked close to what I want to do.. Any insight or pointers you can provide would be greatly appreciated! -- Rick

Image for form submission
by Jim Menard 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

I'd like to use an image to submit a form---reall, to call the #login method on self. The image ilives at a fixed URL. The HTML I'm trying to mimic is <input id="btnLogin" type="image" src="http://.../foo.gif" class="btnImage" value="Log In" /> If I wanted to use a text submit button, I would use html submitButtonOn: #login of: self. I don't think that html inputWithType: 'image' named: ... will work for me because then it won't call the #login method, will it? I've checked my Seaside mailing list archves and Googled, and haven't been able to find an answer one way or another. Is it possible, or not? If so, can someone point me to documentation or post a code snippet? Thank you. Jim -- Jim Menard, jimm(a)io.com, jim.menard(a)gmail.com http://www.io.com/~jimm

Which version?
by Mart-Mari Breedt 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

Hi, I remember this conversation from a while ago on the mailing list, but just want to make sure what the current situation is. Which branch of Seaside is the best to follow? The 2.6a3 or 2.6b1 branch? And what is the 2.6d branch? Thanks, Mart-Mari

Seaside-related blogs?
by Boris Popov 29 Jun '06

If you know of any quasi-Seaside-related blogs out there, please do tell. So far I have the folks from Smallthought as well as Ian Prince's blog, but I'm sure there must be more :) -Boris -- +1.604.689.0322 DeepCove Labs Ltd. 4th floor 595 Howe Street Vancouver, Canada V6C 2T5 boris(a)deepcovelabs.com CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This email is intended only for the persons named in the message header.
