[Catalyst] html escaping question
Hello @all, as you could help me that fast and excellent yesterday I have an other question to you ;) What is the best/common practice to get text that might containt html escapable characters (e. g. '', '') from a form field to catalyst to db and back to form field? At the moment I'm thinking of not doing any html escaping at all and believe in unicode to handle the encoding correctly, but I would ran into problems with 'funname'. So if I escape a string and send it back to the form the content of the textfield is 'lt;funamegt;'. Why is that? Again every thought is allmost welcome.

[Catalyst] Where and how to access database
Hi, I want to place some database queries in App/lib/App/Modell/App.pm. How can I access the DBI database handle in that module? Is that the right place for complex queries? The database tables are being loaded dynamically by Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema/ DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader. I read that I can get the DBH via $schema-storage-dbh -- but where do I get $schema from?

Find out which part of your app is double-escaping, and stop it.
If your template has just [% form %] there shouldn't be any problem.
By default, a field with:

Speaking of which at some point I'll have to put some code to store diffs of each page as well :) Funny. I currently loathe this practice, and I blame myself. On any other system, I can change things without doing source merges when an upgrade comes out. So why do good Cat apps have to be any different. The more I work on Mango, the more I have people just using and changing the app, rather than making it all base software, with creation-isms, like catalyst.pl. the more I hate it. The killer is the templates. Custom app modules can inherit from Base software modules. Templates can't...easily, if all.

[Catalyst] Questions about chained actions, endpoints, etc.
Hey guys, this very well may be due purely to my lack of experience in this
matter, but I'm having trouble getting chained actions working the way I
WANT them to work and I'm suspicious the way I want them to work is not the
way they're intended to work.
Here's the situation: I want the application to have public paths like
these:
/admin List of all existing books you can look at
/admin/add Form (FormBuilder) for adding a new book
/admin/99 Detailed output of data on book 99
/admin/99/edit Form (FormBuilder) for editing book 99 data
/admin/99/deleteForm for confirming deletion of book 99
Looking at the Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained documentation, it's not
obvious (to me, anyway) how I should go about this.
The way I see it, /admin should be handled by a:
package Foo::Controller::Admin;
sub index : private {...}
and /admin/add should be handled by a:
sub add : Local Form {...}
So, how exactly would someone suggest I set up the chained handlers for the
other paths? I had something like this:
sub detail :PathPart('admin') Chained('/') Args(1) {...}
And that worked for the /admin/99 path, but nothing I can muster up seems
to match the /admin/99/{edit,delete} paths.
Any thoughts from those more experienced than me?

Re: [Catalyst] Questions about chained actions, endpoints, etc.
This is the same layout I have for my chained actions, and I went
through the same huh? phase as well.
You seem to be on the right track so far. Here is a quick copy / paste
/ hack job of my layout adapted to your examples. Won't go in to too
much detail since I am busy at work, so let me know if this needs
clarified further.
In Foo::Controller::Admin (left off Form attrib in examples, just
showing the chain layout)...
# Not chained, responds to /admin
sub index : Private { ... }
# Not chained, responds to /admin/add
sub sub add : Local { ... }
# Captures a book id in the chain for use by further chained actions
# You would validate the id, grab it from the model, and put it in
# the stash here
sub get_book : PathPart('admin') Chained CaptureArgs(1)
{
my ( $self, $c, $id) = @_;
...
}
# Chain endpoint for viewing book, responds to /admin/99
sub view : PathPart('') Chained('get_book') Args(0) { ... }
# Chain endpoint for editing book, responds to /admin/99/edit
sub edit : Chained('get_book') Args(0) { ... }
# Chain endpoint for deleting book, responds to /admin/99/delete
sub delete : Chained('get_book') Args(0) { ... }
Hope that helps!

Re: [Catalyst] Questions about chained actions, endpoints, etc.
A couple of clarifications:
1) I typo'd 'sub sub' below in the 'add' action, whoops!
2) In my example, I should have used 'detail' as the action instead of
'view', to match your layout ('view' is what I use).
3) I think the general confusion on all of this, and I didn't wrap my
head around this when I read the Chained perldoc at first either (even
though reading it again, it makes sense) is how the 'Chained' attribute
behaves. A general rule of thumb I keep in my head is (and this doesn't
apply in all situations and special cases, but stays true for most
normal chain layouts I have used)...
When dealing with 'CaptureArgs' type methods, the 'Chained' attribute
refers to parts of the URI path.
When dealing with 'Args' type endpoint actions, the 'Chained' attribute
refers to the 'CaptureArgs' method we want to chain off of, and has
nothing to do with the URI path.

Re: [Catalyst] Questions about chained actions, endpoints, etc.
Danny,
Thanks for your reply. I finally had that epiphany right before your
message came through.
The part I was not understanding was that the argument to the Chained()
action is the private path name:
# Handles /admin/*
sub book_detail : PathPart('admin') Chained('/') Args(1) {...}
# Handler 1 of 2 for /admin/*/{edit,delete}
sub book_link : PathPart('admin') Chained('/') CaptureArgs(1) {...}
sub edit : PathPart Chained('book_detail') Args(0) {...}
I wasn't grasping that minor detail that the edit() function needed to be
sub edit : PathPart Chained('admin') Args(0) {...}
Thanks! Now on to the next brick wall. :)

I usually (using TT) do something like: INCLUDE_PATH: [base_framework_stuff app_stuff] All the templates go into base_framework_stuff All modifications needed for an app (or maybe even a sub-area of an app) go into app_stuff. You just need to break your templates into enough smallish components. In the end, it feels a lot like OO templates, where you can override the base implementation. I'm glad to see someone else doing this! I've found it works well for my projects and does feel very OO indeed. As Thomas said, it is mostly about finding the right granularity. Not so small as to make it hard to understand a template's function at a glance, but small enough that an override wouldn't step on something you plan to update in a new revision. Plus, it's an incentive to keep templates small and sane. It it's hard to use your /template/foo instead of /base/template/foo ... then I guess that's a good pointer to something being wrong. THe only part of that that feels dirty is that it's still an either-or situation, rather than an base_mine situation.

Re: [Catalyst] Questions about chained actions, endpoints, etc.
Now try combining all that with using Chained('.') to spread the chain
across controllers! (Which is really damned cool, and I use it to split
out my model relations in to chained controllers and actions with and
get clean uris).
Hint on how to do this (since I see that come up a lot on the list as well).
In Catalyst::Controller::Admin...
# See previous example for index, add, view, edit and delete actions
related to the Admin controller
# Add a CaptureArgs method to hook our chain up to the child Admin::Foo
# subcontroller
# NOTE: I am sure you could do some more interesting things here, but I
# prefer to keep all the model interactions and stuff in the real
# controller and just use this as a hook
sub foo : Chained('admin') CaptureArgs(0)
{
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
}
In Catalyst::Controller::Admin::Foo...
# Chain endpoint for adding a related foo to a book
# Responds to /admin/[id]/foo/add
sub add : Chained('.') Args(0) { ... }
# Captures a foo id in the chain that is related to
# the book we already have in the chain from earlier
sub get_foo : PathPart('') Chained('.') CaptureArgs(1)
{
my ( $self, $c, $id) = @_;
... # Grab the book from the stash, use it to get the related foo
# and put THAT in the stash, etc
}
# Chain endpoint for viewing a foo related to a book
# Responds to /admin/[id]/foo/[id]/
sub display : PathPart('') Chained('get_foo') Args(0) { ... }
# Chain endpoint for editing a foo related to a book
# Responds to /admin/[id]/foo/[id]/edit
sub edit : Chained('get_foo') Args(0) { ... }
# Chain endpoint for deleting a foo related to a book
# Responds to /admin/[id]/foo/[id]/delete
sub delete : Chained('get_foo') Args(0) { ... }
Keeps your relations, controllers and uri lyaout nice and clean.
I have seen discussion here previously that Chained('.') is a confusing
way to express what is going on - but once you wrap your head around the
Chained() in a Args method is for referring to CaptureArgs methods not
uri paths thing, it starts to make a lot more sense and feels natural.
Hope all this was interesting to *somebody* ;)

[Catalyst] Problems in make tests of Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder 0.03
I also tried with the version on svn and the same thing happens. I tried several things before writing to the list but without any luck. Just out of curiosity, how does this my $page = books/basic; $mech-get_ok( http://localhost/$page;, GET /$page ); know if it's goint to use the mason, template or tt2 version of books/basic? and also, if I have another http server running on localhost should this test pass? (I shut down my local apache just in case, again without luck): Oh and BTW, even though the error is in: ok( $form, Form found ) or BAIL_OUT(Can't do anything without a form); there is a warning on the $mech-get_ok() that I could not figire out. Where could I have gotten more info on this 'fieldsubs' option mentiones on the warning? I looked at the doc for many of the modules involved and could not find any info on this.
