[Lift] Re: lift views

2009-05-31 Thread Charles F. Munat

Yoryos,

You probably missed the part where you can add a head element inside the 
surround tags and it will replace the default element:

lift:surround with=default2 at=content
   head
 titleA better title than the one in default.html/title
   /head
   h2Welcome to your project!/h2
   plift:helloWorld.howdy //p
/lift:surround

I don't see that duplicating the html and body tags unnecessarily makes 
it any better. Just adds clutter, IMO. The fewer tags I have to deal 
with, the easier it is to read.

   h2Welcome to your project!/h2

 have something like:

 Yes we have more boilerplate code but with that way it would be much
 more easier the edditing of the page.

[Lift] Re: Lift does not display templates as described in the book.

2009-05-31 Thread Charles F. Munat

Try posting your conceptual questions to the list. Maybe folks here can 
help, and once we understand what you need, we can look into providing 
some documentation to support it.

No book can fill all needs. Lots of people just want clear examples and 
can go from there. The Lift book addresses that need very well, I think. 
But hopefully we'll have more Lift books soon, each taking a slightly 
different approach to learning Lift.

I'd love to contribute to one, but I'm still trying to learn Lift myself.

Specific suggestions always welcome.

Chas.

 Concrete examples are a great teaching tool, but unless you eventually
 teach the concepts behind the examples, your students are incapable of
 applying their knowledge to do anything beyond what they can glean
 from the examples example. It's like teaching math purely through
 example with no theory: your students may be able to pass your tests,
 but they won't understand what they are doing and come next year they
 won't be able to build on what they learned.
 
 I'm finding the lift book sorely lacking in teaching concepts, and
 because of that I'm having an all but impossible time learning what is
 actually possible in lift. I  I am not the kind of programmer that
 just copies and pastes other peoples' examples. I want to understand
 my tool and use it to it's fullest potential. When the lift book
 describes how pages are rendered, as if teaching a concept, and leaves
 out essential details like what scope templates are actually searched
 in, how am I supposed to understand how Lift works without posting to
 this mailing list or reading the source code?
 
 I wasted a couple of hours reducing my problem down to the simplest
 test case, and this is not the first time since learning lift where
 I've wasted so much time only to learn that either something doesn't
 work or doesn't work the way I thought. I'm pretty sure that had I
 picked rails or django for my pet project I would have been done
 already. Is it simply that Lift is too cutting edge for me? Am I the
 only one wasting hours of time learning how Lift and other Java tools
 work rather than getting my app written?
 
 I'm sorry if I sound frustrated. It is not just Lift I am struggling
 with. It's the whole stack I'm trying to learn! I am just getting
 immersed into the Java world again during my spare time. JAXB
 (especially JAXB!), buildr/maven/ant, Jetty, Scala and it's Eclipse
 plugin, Lift, each one of these tools has taken up hours of my time as
 I struggle to do what I thought I could do easily by reading about the
 tool or reading the tool's documentation.
 
 I am grateful for your response though and will take time to learn
 more about what the sitemap means in Lift.

 To access a page you need to add it in the SiteMap. I assume you are a
 bit confused about the relation between a Menu and a page. I mean
 after all maybe for your site you don't really need a menu but in Lift
 a Menu is much more then a visual representation of a way to navigate
 to your pages. It specifies various things such as how to access a
 page (constraints definition), visibility of a page in the sitemap
 Menu etc. So in short the SiteMap + Menu + Loc describes how pages can
 be accesses in a Lift app.

 The Lift book describes that by the means of concrete examples,
 detailed Menu  Loc descriptions etc. Maybe some things in the book
 are not very obvious for a first read or just reading it as
 ultimatelly learning Lift is about coding trying things. The book is
 just a mean to an end, I would say.

[Lift] Re: JavaScript interface to Comet

2009-05-31 Thread marius d.

Yes looks like this is exactly what you would need. Please see
partialUpdate from CometActor. As an example you can see sites/example/
src/main/scala/net/liftweb/example/comet/Clock.scala. partialUPdate
function returns a JsCmd but there are of course implicit conversions
between JsExp and JsCmd.

What you're trying to do seems like an interesting thing for a Lift
demo app in the sense that it would provide an interesting visual
effect through CometActor.

[Lift] Strange behavior of RequestVar

2009-05-31 Thread feelgood

Compare two cases. First:

class SnippetName {
  object oVar extends RequestVar(O.create)

  def processAdd(o: O) { ... }

  def add(xml: NodeSeq): NodeSeq = {
bind (f, xml,
  field - SHtml.text(oVar.is.field, oVar.is.field(_)),
  submit - SHtml.submit(Submit, () = processAdd(oVar.is)
)
  }
}

And the second case:

class SnippetName {
  object oVar extends RequestVar(O.create)

  def processAdd(o: O) { ... }

  def add(xml: NodeSeq): NodeSeq = {
val o = oVar.is // CHANGES STARTS HERE

bind (f, xml,
  field - SHtml.text(o.field, o.field(_)),
  submit - SHtml.submit(Submit, () = processAdd(o)
)
  }
}

In firts case all works fine, but in second case data not retained
across submit trying. Why?

[Lift] Re: lift views

2009-05-31 Thread Yoryos

No! I didn't missed that part. Like Xavi said the benefit is a valid
html page. It would be much more intresting having something like

html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; xmlns:lift=http://
liftweb.net/
head!-- I don't not if it's valid to just not even have a head tag
when we don't want to --/head
body lift:layout=default lift:name=content
  h2Welcome to your project!/h2
  plift:helloWorld.howdy //p
/body
/html

witch has less boilerplate (than my first example) and is very easy
IMHO to understand and read.

I'm very new to lift and I just think that telling something that
would look easier to me, would also look easier to any newby. At the
other hand, being newby also means that I don't have a good overview
of the framework and it's design. It is better thought to say
something event if it is wrong before you get used to it, because then
you'll just get used to it!!

 Yoryos,

 You probably missed the part where you can add a head element inside the
 surround tags and it will replace the default element:

 lift:surround with=default2 at=content
    head
      titleA better title than the one in default.html/title
    /head
    h2Welcome to your project!/h2
    plift:helloWorld.howdy //p
 /lift:surround

 I don't see that duplicating the html and body tags unnecessarily makes
 it any better. Just adds clutter, IMO. The fewer tags I have to deal
 with, the easier it is to read.

[Lift] date management

2009-05-31 Thread g-man

As I proceed to enhance the ToDo example, I have added a new field to
the ToDo.scala model:

object dueOn extends MappedDateTime(this) {
final val dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance
(DateFormat.SHORT)
override def asHtml = Text(dateFormat.format(is))}

Next, I added a binding in the TD.scala snippet within the add method
of the TD class:

def doBind(form: NodeSeq) = {
  bind(todo, form,  desc - todo.desc.toForm,
  priority - todo.priority.toForm,
  dueOn - todo.dueOn.toForm,
  submit - submit(create new Task,
checkAndSave)}

Then, the todo.html template gets a bind point:

lift:TD.add form=post
  ...
  todo:dueOn/
  todo:submitbutton//todo:submit
/lift:TD.add

When I check the database, the record does save, and all the other
fields are OK, but the date itself is null.

Somehow, it seems the text of the input field is not getting changed
into a Date object for the database to handle, right?

When I look at the PocketChange app from the book, everything is done
completely differently from the ToDo example (no use of _toForm, for
instance).

I know dates and times are convoluted in Java, so what am I missing?

Thanks!

[Lift] Re: lift views

2009-05-31 Thread David Pollak
Folks,

There's nothing that Lift does magically with lift:surround/ or
lift:embed/  They just replace XML nodes.

If you want to structure your apps to not have surround or embed, that's
fine.  If you want to surround or embed at different points in your files,
totally cool.  Do it however you want.  It makes no difference to Lift.
Lift's templating is just an XML substitution system.  Substitute or don't
at your pleasure.  Do what works best for you.  It makes no difference to
Lift.

Thanks,

David

[Lift] Re: Showing a Box or Redirecting?

2009-05-31 Thread David Pollak
class SomeSnippet {
  implicit def boxOpener(in: Box[NodeSeq]): NodeSeq = in openOr
{S.error(Inactive); S.redirectTo(S.referer openOr /)}

  def showA(xhtml: NodeSeq): NodeSeq =
   for {
 id - S.param(id)
 info - session1.get(id)
   } yield bind(foo, xhtml, thing - info.x)
}

The implicit makes the Box[NodeSeq] turn into a NodeSeq or redirects the
user.

Thanks,
