[Lift] Record-aware secondary menu?

2009-05-09 Thread Clemens Oertel
Hi, In addition to the usual primary menu (Home, List entries, Add entry, Log in/out, ...), I would like to introduce a secondary, record-aware menu to my site. The entries in this menu would contain, for example, Edit current record, Delete current record, Show current record, ... There

2009-04-21 Thread Clemens Oertel
If your project is more than a simple app (as I'm certain it is), I would go with JPA. Record is not ready yet, and Mapper is pretty limited. For example, AFAIK Mapper doesn't do many-to-many associations. I've had a lot of success with JPA/Hibernate, and it's getting pretty solid in Lift

I don't think it's necessary to make a final decision about your IDE at any time. AFAIK, all major IDEs work quite well with Maven's pom files, so it's very easy to switch IDEs at any time. I for instance used NetBeans until last month, when JetBrains updated their Scala plugin - then I

[Lift] Good way to implement cancel links?

2009-04-04 Thread Clemens Oertel
Hi, What's the best way to get generic Cancel links into forms, lift- style? Assuming that a form can be called from different pages in the application, and the cancel link should return to the originating page? Would it work to have a RequestVar for the target of the cancel link, and

[Lift] MappedDateTime - Do we have a Date? Or is it a timestamp?

2009-03-31 Thread Clemens Oertel
While trying to figure out why my MappedDateTime fields get stored in the DB with all the time info set to 0, I noticed the following: MappedDateTime (v. 1.0) claims to be a TimeStamp: def targetSQLType = Types.TIMESTAMP. However, it uses java.sql.Date for its JDBC- friendly converted
