Re: [Catalyst] New view: ICal?
A View is fine but because there is a format for files and it's natural to show/deliver content with a view. The view is going to be very THIN though. Basically nothing but a wrapper around what iCalendar really is which is data and therefore the Model domain. The view will essentially be Data::ICal->as_string + Content-Type => text/calendar + file disposition name something reasonable with a .ics or .ifb. I think the model should do all the heavy lifting. That allows it to be easily repurposed in other places, tools, and tests. I'm somewhat surprised no one has already done this. Casual searches look like maybe it's been solved before but not released to the CPAN. I was toying with a similar project years ago but never got the buy-in from the project leader. :P ___ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/

I'm not sure to what extent it is wise or correct.
The whole point of models is that it abstracts the model and I can change
where the data comes from later, right? So don't they all have an
underlying abstract interface regardless of how they are sourced?
Well, models just differ. DOM, relational, even hash and array with
all their similarity need some minor acrobatics if they are to be
treated alike. You can make an API to attempt to unify all the
possible data models but that would create an artificial complexity
much harder to track and work with.
This hits a sore spot for me. I've seen what I take to be a sort of
purity of MVC just about kill projects and make them incredibly
painful to work on. The layers are to make work easier, testable,
quicker, delegated, etc, not to achieve some fantasy where the
templates from a Cat app can be plugged into Rails or Django without
modification.
The examples I've read using DBIC use
[% WHILE ( item = list.next) %]
and I can imagine that in general we don't have efficient random access to
the rows; in C++ I would characterize this as a forward iterator or even
weaker, if I can't make a copy of the earlier state and go forward a second
time.
I would have hoped that the TT [% FOREACH %] directive would work here.
That seems like the natural means of abstracting the list. That is, the
controller can set anything into the stash that FOREACH knows how to handle,
including a plain Perl array.
The API for that in DBIC+TT would look like [% FOR record IN
list.all() %] or list.search({contraints...},{rows=max_rows}) or
list.search_related() etc, etc. The idioms are mostly the same in
TT as plain Perl. for can't recursively call an iterator any more
than while can unroll a list.

That is, is a method named 'data' the convention? That is, if code was

look like?

Re: [Catalyst] Legacy porting to auto-authenticate a logged in user
You've hit it. You are better than my Teddy bear lately. I wasn't
thinking straight. Since the password is coming from the DB instead
of a user form, it's already in SHA1 so it should be treated for the
sake of authentication as clear since SHA1 != SHA1(SHA1).
Thanks and to Peter for the other ideas for future debuggery, so to
speak!

Hi Ashley,
My guess is that your password hashing type in the db is different
from the password hashing type you defined for the Password
credential.
Since your database does store the password in plaintext - why not set
password type to 'clear' - and set the password_field to password.
This should cause authentication to happen against your unencrypted
password and should work.

Subject: [Catalyst] Legacy porting to auto-authenticate a logged in
user
I have what I first thought was a gimme (this is only tangentially
related to the questions I asked a few days ago; same app, different
DB and part). Legacy porting of a login with Authenticate where I
already have the user id and everything verified. I have tried many
permutations of arguments and setup.
The user has already logged into the legacy part of the app. So this
is the code that is not working but I think should.
my $user_id = ...legacy fetch; working fine
my $user = $c-model(DB::User)-find($user_id)
or die RC_403: No such user for id $user_id; # also working
fine
# this dies, I've verified the $user, username, and password are
correct
$c-authenticate({ username = $user-username,
password = $user-password })
or die RC_403: . $user-username . failed to
authenticate;
So. why? The legacy setup is a little strange so I think that
must be
it. The user table's DBIC looks like this (password is plaintext,
legacy, and crypt_passwd is sha1 of it)-
package MyApp::DB::User;
use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
__PACKAGE__-load_components(qw/PK::Auto Core/);
__PACKAGE__-table('foo.account');
__PACKAGE__-add_columns(qw/ acctid email fname lname password
crypt_passwd /);
__PACKAGE__-set_primary_key('acctid');
sub username {
+shift-email;
};
My config looks like this-
authentication:
default_realm: users
realms:
users:
credential:
class: Password
password_field: crypt_passwd
password_type: hashed
password_hash_type: SHA-1
store:
class: DBIx::Class

Re: [Catalyst] no role configuration found -- authorization: dbic and DBI::Schema::Loader
I backed up to a simple test script, got easier to find errors, and
found the trouble with what I was doing.
__PACKAGE__-many_to_many(roles = 'user_roles', 'name');
needed to be
__PACKAGE__-many_to_many(roles = 'user_roles', 'role');
and a corresponding many_to_many in Role.pm
__PACKAGE__-many_to_many(users = 'user_roles', 'user');
So, I'm all good now but still a bit mystified about the silent
failure(?).

Hi Ashley,
The log message you see is a result of the recent move away from
the Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication namespace for stores /

It falls back to the old naming and warns if it can't find the new
module.. It should, however, have no effect on the functionality
of the code.
It's not a bad idea to update the DBIx::Class store - but be sure
to remove the Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::DBIx::Class
module first - just to avoid conflicts. Nothing has changed
related to roles in the update, so it shouldn't make any difference.
I don't know why the assert is failing, it should not - what do
you get if you use $c-check_user_roles() - valid results?

Hi There Ashley,
The DBIx::Class module expects to use the relation provided in
the role_relation config element to retrieve one or more rows,
which must contain a field called by whatever you provide in

My guess is that your user_roles table is a cross-ref table -
userid and roleid essentially. In order to solve this you need
to use a many_to_many relationship mapping to the textual role
names.
The DBIx::Class module expects you are going to route it to the
information it needs using the role_relation. So what you
really need to do is create the schema class and just define the
many-to-many

The DBIx::Class module expects you are going to route it to the
information it needs using the role_relation. So what you really
need to do is create the schema class and just define the many-to-
many for roles. Then provide that relation to 'role_relation' and
all your problems should go away.
It still works with dynamic schema - but you have to create the
relationship. You can do that by creating your schema module to
look something like this:
package MyApp::Schema::Users;
use strict;
use warnings;
use base 'DBIx::Class';
__PACKAGE__-load_components(PK::Auto, Core);
__PACKAGE__-has_many('roles_map', MyApp::Schema::RoleMap,
user_id');
__PACKAGE__-many_to_many( roles = 'role_map, 'role');
1;
I might have that slightly wrong - I've been moving today so I'm a
bit overtired. but basically that allows your schema to
dynamically figure itself out, but you define the relationships for
it.
For some database types, DBIx::Class can figure out your
relationships for you - but I don't think it can sort out many-to-
many's anyway.
Hope that helps. And I hope it makes as much sense to you as I
make to myself in my head at the moment. This, I understand, may
not be the case. If not, I'll try again tomorrow.

Hi Ashley,
The log message you see is a result of the recent move away from
the Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication namespace for stores /
credentials.
It falls back to the old naming and warns if it can't find the new
module.. It should, however, have no effect on the functionality of
the code.
It's not a bad idea to update the DBIx::Class store - but be sure
to remove the Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::DBIx::Class
module first - just to avoid conflicts. Nothing has changed
related to roles in the update, so it shouldn't make any difference.
I don't know why the assert is failing, it should not - what do you
get if you use $c-check_user_roles() - valid results?

Continuing saga. So I set up the many_to_many and lo! It worked.
But it worked with *any* role, even fake ones, so obviously
something was bad. Turned out that it was silently failing instead
of throwing an access exception (but there was a template set by
the namespace so the page rendered as expected).
# failed silently (as far as Cat was concerned)
$c-assert_user_roles(there is no role called this);
So, dug into the log:

Hi There Ashley,
The DBIx::Class module expects to use the relation provided in
the role_relation config element to retrieve one or more rows,
which must contain a field called by whatever you provide in
role_field.
My guess is that your user_roles table is a cross-ref table -
userid and roleid essentially. In order to solve this you need
to use a many_to_many relationship mapping to the textual role
names.
The DBIx::Class module expects you are going to route it to the
information it needs using the role_relation. So what you really
need to do is create the schema class and just define the many-to-
many for roles. Then provide that relation to 'role_relation'
and all your problems should go away.
It still works with dynamic schema - but you have to create the
relationship. You can do that by creating your schema module to
look something like this:
package MyApp::Schema::Users;
use strict;
use warnings;
use base 'DBIx::Class';
__PACKAGE__-load_components(PK::Auto, Core);
__PACKAGE__-has_many('roles_map', MyApp::Schema::RoleMap,
user_id');
__PACKAGE__-many_to_many( roles
Re: [Catalyst] Web hosting?
DreamHost is used by a few of us. It has several caveats. They oversell and are somewhat dishonest about how they do it and what their definitions for disk usage are. They have more outages than some hosts (I would not put a 24/7 business there) b/c they let a lot of dynamic, db-heavy, sites sit on boxes together. That said, they have a nice control panel, they usually do seem to try to please, they are typically zippy for flat files, and I can't find anyone else who offers half of what they do, including fastcgi to run you Cat app, for $8/month. I've been there for 4 years for about 15 sites. There is a Catalyst promotion code so that your signup goes to benefit Cat development. Check the archives or (better still, they've changed how referrals work in the last year) wait for someone else to post it again. -Ashley On Dec 15, 2007, at 8:07 PM, Martin Ellison wrote: Can anyone recommend a web hosting provider for Catalyst applications?

Making this a Catalyst::Model is a terrible idea. Just make it a
regular Perl module, and glue it to Catalyst with 3 lines of code or
Catalyst::Model::Adaptor.

Let Catalyst handle /login. Make legacy code get user out of

That's a really good way so long as you can make the old app use a
Catalyst
session handler.
Which in his case is true since he's sharing the sessions via
CGI::Session.
I do think this is the way to go. Nice. I also think we have have
replaced
mythology with popular culture, but that's OOT.
In my prototype I found a pretty annoying interface transparency
issue though.
This is from an email I just sent the author of
C::P:Session::CGISession.
C::P:Session::CGISession, puts the data under
our $SESSION_DATA_PARAMETER_NAME = '_catalyst_session';
for cross-compat with other Session hooks, but it hides it from
the legacy store which is in the same level under _DATA. So the
Cat manipulated session info is under
$session-param(_catalyst_session)
for the legacy code and the Cat code has no access to anything the
legacy code sets in the session.
# some data trimmed out for brevity
'_DATA' = {
'rand_set_in_legacy' = '6.3108406432821',
'_catalyst_session' = {
'rand_set_in_cat' =
'16.4781763075979',
},
'_SESSION_ID' = 'f15b8a17d0fc00a43601226837afd5e8',
}
So, this makes it pretty tricky to mix the two. I'd like to have
the Cat::Plugin work at the same level as the vanilla CGI::Session;
the _DATA store for all top level params. Of course for
compatibility with other Cat stuff, the _catalyst_session would
still work, it would just be a reference to the _DATA.
So I have a patch, I think, which makes it work on the same internal
data hash for both the Cat and vanilla versions so they can use the
same session transparently. I've offered it to the author, if he
thinks it's a good change.
On unrelated and deeply buried points I would also like to add for the
record (again), that I never start a new thread by replying to an
old message even though the list threads make it look that way.
Mail.app is either doing something squirrelly or my mail host is.

[Catalyst] Prior Art: Scheduling Application
I'm looking at doing a Cat App for my wife's green cleaning business to handle scheduling, reminder emails for cleaners/clients/managers, quote requests, billing tracking, display open times for cleans, and auto-assignment of jobs based on address of client + preference of cleaner. As long as I can keep the code clean enough to not be embarrassing I'd open source it. (I'd love name suggestions or to hear from anyone interested in a commit bit for app too.) While I enjoy writing stuff from scratch and don't even mind a little reinvention now and then I'd like to ask– 1. Has anyone already written a scheduling app with Cat (is it open source; would/can you share code otherwise)? 2. Is there something non-Cat I should be considering first; or at least stealing design?

Re: [Catalyst] PathPart help
That is really cool and answers something I've wanted to do for a
long time (let the user define the URI to customize a package). I
have a question. Using the PathPrefix seems to work as advertised but
it does not replace the default path.
So, in a test I just did, MyApp::Controller::Article with __PACKAGE__-
config( path = 'a' ) gives the expected, new, result at path /a
but also still responds at /article. Seems like this is not DWIW or
M. (I'm using the sample sub in the post, not the trunk code).
The others replace correctly though(?).
/a == /article
but
/a/id works while /article/id fails as I'd like.

[Catalyst] DBIC v Cache: What are catalyst best practices for caching DBIC results (with relationships included)
I'm having trouble getting Plugin::Cache to handle DBIC objects
correctly. Past instruction, and recent refresher, from MST shows
that you have to reset/revive the result source and this works for a
single object but blows up for prefetch.
In this code
my $article = $c-cache-get($id);
if ( $article )
{
$article-result_source($c-model(DB)-source
(article));
}
else
{
$article = $c-model(DB::article)-find($id)
or die RC_404: no such article;
$c-cache-set($id, $article);
}
No problem. But I really want to save the related object trips to the
DB too. So, since articles may have comments I want to prefetch them
as they will be used beneath an article. But then they are missing
their result_source and resetting it does not seem to work(?). The
following code produces an error when reloaded after first being cached.
my $article = $c-cache-get($id);
if ( $article )
{
$article-result_source($c-model(DB)-source
(article));
$_-result_source($c-model(DB)-source(comment))
for $article-comments();
}
else
{
$article = $c-model(DB::article)
-find($id,
{ prefetch = [qw/comments/] }
)
or die RC_404: no such article;
$c-cache-set($id, $article);
}
Caught exception in MyApp::Controller::Article-article Can't call
method
+ source on an undefined value at
+ /Library/Perl/5.8.6/DBIx/Class/ResultSourceHandle.pm line
+ 62.
What am I doing wrong? Can this be handled at all (resetting
result_sources gets ugly fast when you bring in the other involved
objects like user and document lineage)? What is the best practice
regarding caching DBIC results in Catalyst?
Thanks!
