Okay I've put the code in a zip file at:
http://rewind.somacity.com/wmcode.zip
There's two new Java files:
WebMacroPageAttributes.java:
A class that allows setting of various page attributes from WM
templates. I decided in the end to put it in the context as '$page' -
less letters to mistype for template authors :)
WebMacroFormatter.java:
A class that allows formatting of dates and lists from WM templates.
I've arranged that this is placed in the context by default - this
doesn't necessarily need to be so, but I find it very generally useful,
and there may be other string formatting tasks that the class could be
extended to perform.
(there's also wmexample.wm and Wmexample.java which are just a template
and screen pair with some silly examples of use of this stuff)
Also there's the following patches:
TurbineWebMacroService.diff:
Puts the new objects in the WebContext
SelectorBox.diff:
While I was in the area I added a setSize() method to SelectorBox so
that template authors can write $selectBox.setSize(5) instead of
$selectBox.toString(5) which IMO is a bit obscure.
(also AddTitle should be deprecated and eventually removed as its
functionality is superceded by WebMacroPageAttributes)
I hope this stuff hits the spot :)
