Gjallar settings contd.
by Keith Hodges 14 Jul '07

14 Jul '07

I used a variety of settings and the autoLogin feature for debugging UI, so I thought that it would be useful to promote all the relevant settings into the ini file and Q2GjallarSettings interface. Keith ============= (*optional - indicates defaults supplied by Q2GjallarSettings) new iniFile settings [globals] (required) serverPort=8081 mirrorServerPort=8090 (optional) autoLoginUsername= #empty indicates autoLogin disabled autoLoginPassword= [seaside] (optional) sessionClass=Q2Session #alternative for debugging UI - Q2SessionWithoutMagma rootComponentClass=Q2Main #alternative for debugging UI - use the component you are working on as root. resourcesLibraryClass=Q2Resources #alternative in-image resource set (must be subclass of Q2Resources) magmaLocationClass=Q2MagmaLocalLocation These settings are used in Q2Main initialize, which is called before starting the server.

Gjallar

Some more informal Gjallar documentation: Keith ====================================================================== In moving to Seaside 2.8 Deprecated api. - html heading: 'text' level: 3. is now html heading level3; with: 'text'. - html image fileName: is no more. ====================================================================== Revised access to ini file settings. Rationale: Tidy the global settings api a little. Application installation chooses from available ini files. Gjallar can be distributed with a number pre-defined out of the box configuration files for different roles/installation types. (e.g. db server, web server, personal installation etc) usage: Access to settings from the typical Gjallar domains: - everywhere: Q2Session current settings - in the model: Q2Object settings - in the ui: a Q2ChildComponent settings #settings obtains an interface onto the iniFile named in the '/seaside/config' configuration preference #settingsFile named in the seaside #gjallar group defined by Q2GjallarConfiguration. - 'Q2GjallarSettings clear' is included in 'Q2Gjallar cleanImage' to clear ini files cached in memory. When an iniFile is read, it notes its own expireTime as specified by #inifileSeconds on future accesses if the the file has expired it will be re-read. If #inifileSeconds is 0, it will be read once only. As a convenience settings may be referred to directly with message sends, e.g. self settings databaseDirectory. References to #gjallar have been replaced with the equivalent of 'self settings systemName'. The exisiting Q2Object interface to settings is still present (effectively deprecated) but has been re-routed via #settings. There are 55 senders of the old Q2Object api to migrate.

Gjallar Resources
by Keith Hodges 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

In moving Gjallar to use Seaside 2.8 I have modified how Gjallar accesses its resources. Keith -------------------- New grand scheme for handling resources using WAFileLibrary. 1. All of the defaults are in the in-image file library Q2DefaultResources. (so external files are not needed to deploy gjallar) 2. Additional in-image resource sets can be provided as subclasses of Q2Resources, these inherit their defaults from Q2DefaultResources. The resource set is used if its Q2MyResources-c-#libraryName matches the inifile setting 'resourcesDirectory'. 3. Additional user-customized resources can be placed in a directory nominated by 'resourcesDirectory', these, if present, override, 1 and 2, above. Usage in code: html image url: (Q2Resources / 'gjallar.png') this is an extension to the standard seaside 2.8 approach which would be html image url: (Q2Resources / #gjallarPng) notes: Gjallar file libraries inherit their file selectors whereas standard WAFileLibrary does not. Gjallar inherits the standard seaside file libraries, but needs the potential to override the defaults (especially kalseyTabsCss).

Plotkit and Seaside 2.8
by Keith Hodges 05 Jul '07

05 Jul '07

Dear Gjallarenes, Our main reservation for moving to Seaside 2.8 was the suggestion that Plotkit was not supported. It appears that the main reason Seaside 2.8 does not directly support plotkit is that the canvas html tag had been removed and placed in the separate addon package "HTML5". So I tested plotkit with the latest Seaside 2.8, and the HTML5 package and all appears to be well. Keith
