[Catalyst] looking for suggestion on both cron and pm

[Fayland Lam]

generally I do have several corn scripts. so I want to get $user both in 
MyApp and cron scripts.

what I tried to do is soemthing like that:

the first is a base module which contains schema cache and tt2 and others.

package Foorum::Adaptor::Base;

sub new {
   my $self = shift;
  
   my $params = {};

   return bless $params => $self;
}
sub config {
   my $self = shift;

   return $self->{config} if ($self->{config});

   my $config = LoadFile("$path/../../../foorum.yml");
   my $extra_config = LoadFile("$path/../../../foorum_local.yml");
   $config = { %$config, %$extra_config };
   $self->{config} = $config;
   return $self->{config};
}
sub schema {
   my $self = shift;

   return $self->{schema} if ($self->{schema});
   my $config = $self->config();

   $self->{schema}
   = Foorum::Schema->connect( $config->{dsn}, $config->{dsn_user},
   $config->{dsn_pwd}, { AutoCommit => 1, RaiseError => 1, 
PrintError => 1 },

   );
   return $self->{schema};
}
...
Check Attachment for more details.

then a User adaptor module:

package Foorum::Adaptor::User;

use strict;
use warnings;
use base 'Foorum::Adaptor::Base';

sub get {
   my ( $c, $cond ) = @_;

   my $cache_key = 'user|' . Object::Signature::signature($cond);
   my $cache_val = $c->cache->get($cache_key);

   if ($cache_val) {
   return $cache_val;
   }

   $cache_val = get_user_from_db( $c, $cond );
   return unless ($cache_val);

   $c->cache->set( $cache_key, $cache_val, 7200 );# two hours
   return $cache_val;
}

and others. more see attachment.

at last:

package Foorum::Model::User;

use strict;
use warnings;
use base 'Catalyst::Model::Adaptor';
__PACKAGE__->config( class => 'Foorum::Adaptor::User' );

1;

so that we can do in MyApp:

my $user = $c->model('User')->get( { username => $username } );

or cron script:

use Foorum::Adaptor::User;
my $user_model = new Foorum::Adaptor::User();
my $user = $user_model->get( { user_id => 1 } );

is those code correct? or there is another way to do it?

Thanks.

Re: [Catalyst] Serving html pages

[Martin Ellison]

I have a similar problem, but I am on shared hosting and I do not have
access to httpd.conf, only to the local .htaccess files. I have the static
plugin set up so we are delivering HTML, image files and other static pages
via Catalyst, but similarly to Alejandro I would like to serve up the pages
directly from Apache.

I have tried using mod_rewrite but it seems to be an invention of the
Adversary designed to lead us into despair. Has anyone managed to serve
static files directly using just .htaccess?

Re: [Catalyst] Serving html pages

[Alejandro Imass]

Usually you would try to serve your static content directly with your
Web Server and let only the dynamic part with Catalyst. For example
you could have a configuration in your apache vhost as such:

Suppose your app's name is vdc...



[...]

# root of your app
DocumentRoot /var/www/vdc/root

# Aliases
Alias /static /var/www/vdc/root/static
Alias /other-static-files /var/vdc/whatever
Alias / /var/www/vdc/script/vdc_cgi.pl

# The Catalyst part is via mod_perl

SetHandler modperl
PerlResponseHandler vdc


# The static content is served by apache directly

SetHandler default-handler


SetHandler default-handler


# main app directory conf

DefaultLanguage es
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

RE: [Catalyst] Re-enable digest mode?

[Lampert, Hugh]

Well, I respectfully submit that the purpose of a digest is so people can 
archive the mailing list themselves in their e-mail systems, one digest per 
day.  An RSS feed does not easily allow this, and for a busy list like this 
one, a subscriber might receive many messages per day, the number of which 
could rapidly increase into the thousands in the inbox.  Filtering these many 
messages into a folder, as you suggest, will more than likely mean that for me 
they will never get looked at at all, as I receive many, many emails that 
require my attention every day.

I use Outlook for my corporate mail system and I know your opinion of the way 
it works Matt.  I like to keep up with Catalyst as much as possible but not 
enough to have to monitor an RSS feed or thousands of individual e-mails in my 
business mailbox. I have an alternate suggestion.  Re-enable digests for those 
who subscribe to the traditional function of a "mailing list" and don't want to 
be flooded by individual e-mails, and revoke and block the subscriptions of 
those who subscribe but don't know how to respond properly and spam the list by 
responding improperly to the digest.

I have already unsubscribed from the Catalyst list for my personal mail box, 
which collects on a somewhat limited portable micro drive.  If I can't get a 
digest I guess I will have to unsubscribe from the list from my corporate mail 
box as well, as I don't want to awkwardly manage thousands of individual 
e-mails.  While I can make some time to scan the subjects of the digest when it 
comes into my mailbox during my work day, I'm afraid I will not have time to 
monitor yet another RSS feed, so it will be so long Catalyst info.  Too bad for 
me, I guess.

Interestingly, I will continue to subscribe to the DBIx-Class list, as the 
digest for that has NOT been turned off as of yet.  Are the subscribers to that 
list just more intelligent?

No.

People consistently sign up to digests and then reply to them, spamming the 
list with a day's worth of messages for a second time and blowing away any hope 
of threading.

You can get a feed from

http://grokbase.com/group/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

(which being a Catalyst-powered site is probably going to archive this list 
pretty much indefinitely :)

or you can configure your mail setup to siphon the messages off into a folder. 
Both approaches will give you all the advantages of digests without leaving us 
with the traffic/noise disadvantages.

A mailing list lives and dies by the quality of its postings (and for every one 
digest user there are dozens more people searching the archives), so disabling 
digests was a conscious choice to optimise for signal/noise ratio.

If you don't have a useful mail client and don't want to take a feed, I have a 
(somewhat hacky) script I use to handle sorting that needs nothing but an IMAP 
connection to talk down (and some perl :); I'll send a copy on request.

And how do you handle file uploads? Do you save them in the session?

I did a bunch of pod rendering with table of content work for the Cat site
(still hasn't been released, trying to get a finalized ToC rendering and I
suck at typography and UI).

You can play with the generation at:
http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Catalyst/branches/site-notrac/podbuilder

Or, take a look at the finished product:
http://catsite.toeat.com/docs/Catalyst-Manual-Intro.html

Happy to help with anything that you need... I'd like to actually get this
work done but my motivation has tapered off.

Yes.

Don't try and serialize $c->req, just dump any POST data back out into
hidden fields in the login form, don't change the URL, and have the login
form processed in a forward() from auto or similar rather than doing a
detach. This is how I handle "user needs to log in to continue" across the
board and it makes life much simpler.

i.e. something like

sub auto :Private {
  my ($self, $c) = @_;
  unless ($c->user_exists) {
unless ($c->forward('try_login')) {
  $c->detach('show_login_form');
  return 0;
}
  }
  return 1;
}

sub try_login :Private {
  my ($self, $c) = @_;
  my $b = $c->req->body_parameters;
  return 0 unless $b->{__username};
  return $c->authenticate({
   username => $b->{__username}
   password => $b->{__password}
 });
}

After we're sure we're happy with the new stuff, could the old one's ebuilds
all be changed to throw an error saying where the new location is?

Seems like a good way to make sure people don't lose out on important
upgrades ...

If you like looking at things on the web (or if you think that NNTP is a good 
way to view a mailing list), GMANE also carries this list, 
as 'gmane.comp.web.catalyst.general'.

You could try the http://ppm.tcool.org/ repo.

We've no idea what happened to NG Media; they used to be run by Christian
Hansen but he left there a couple years ago now (and has since dropped out
of site entirely, sadly ...)

No.

People consistently sign up to digests and then reply to them, spamming the
list with a day's worth of messages for a second time and blowing away any
hope of threading.

You can get a feed from

http://grokbase.com/group/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

(which being a Catalyst-powered site is probably going to archive this
list pretty much indefinitely :)

or you can configure your mail setup to siphon the messages off into a
folder. Both approaches will give you all the advantages of digests without
leaving us with the traffic/noise disadvantages.

A mailing list lives and dies by the quality of its postings (and for every
one digest user there are dozens more people searching the archives), so
disabling digests was a conscious choice to optimise for signal/noise ratio.

If you don't have a useful mail client and don't want to take a feed, I have
a (somewhat hacky) script I use to handle sorting that needs nothing but an
IMAP connection to talk down (and some perl :); I'll send a copy on request.

[Catalyst] Re-enable digest mode?

[Lampert, Hugh]

Up until this week I was receiving the Catalyst list e-mails in digest form.  
This week I'm getting individual e-mails.  When I checked the list server 
options it told me digest mode had been disabled by the administrator.  It's 
hard for me to process multiple individual e-mails from the Catalyst list along 
with my other e-mail; is there any way digest mode could be re-enabled?

Subject: [Catalyst] Serving html pages

Hi,

I am quite new with catalyst and I'd like to know how I could serve some html 
pages (actually documentation) e.g.:
www.myapp.com/docs/index.html ?

When I try to integrate such link in my template page, Pages are not served and 
as mentioned in the C::P::Static::Simple it does not serve .html file.

Is there any magic thing to do without changing 
MyApp->config->{static}->{ignore_extensions} ?

Thanks a lot

If I recall correctly, the default is to serve as static files only the 
ones under root/static, so try to put doc/ there.

I think the idea was something along the lines of...

MyApp->config->{ 'session' }->{ 'cookie_domain' } = MyApp->request-

I presume you've got a bit of code like:

$c->response->cookies->{'foo'} = { domain => $c-

In which case why couldn't you just do

$c->response->cookies->{'foo'} = { domain => $c->req->hostname };

But anyway, what I need is working because I can avoid setting a  
domain name for the cookie.


Yeah exactly, setting the domain in the cookie to match the domain  
requested is pretty pointless anyway as that's what browsers do by  
default. About the only time you need to send a domain back is when  
you want to set a cookie across all subdomains or similar. Eg:  
{ domain => '.example.com' }





In which case you could still do something in Root/auto if you wanted  
to modify it...


my $domain_re = join( '|', qw(
mydomain.com
myotherdomain.com
foo.com
example.com
) );

sub auto : Private {
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;

if ( $c->request->header( 'host' ) =~ /(\.(?:$domain_re))$/ ) {
$c->config->{ 'session' }->{ 'cookie_domain' } = $1;
}

return 1;
}

RE: [Catalyst] POD viewer

Hello!

I've got an error:
[error] Caught exception in CatalystAdvent->begin "Can't locate object
method "now" via package "DateTime" (perhaps you forgot to load

I've fixed it adding use DateTime;

Then i've stopped at: [error] Couldn't forward to command

What could it be?

You could use MyApp::Root::auto to lookup the hostname from the request and 
set it in config as you wish.

Example:

# MyApp::Root;
sub auto : Private {
  my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
  $c->config->{cookie_domain} = $c->req->hostname;
}

The Pod::Xhtml module used internally is really pretty terrible,
though. It is written for one use-case and one use-case only. As
long as you don’t try to do anything non-trivial, it’ll work OK,
but beware if you want to do anything interesting, like extract
and convert parts of the document.
