I played with it a bit and I have a more standard approach. This is just a test case, so I'm not using loops or other facilities from Kid, I'm just using it to fill a simple template. This is a chart for packets logged from my firewall ;-) My template "xml_chart.kid" is: ================================================================================ <div py:strip="True" xmlns:py="http://purl.org/kid/ns#";> <chart> <chart_type>column</chart_type> <chart_value decimal_char=',' separator='.' /> <legend_transition type='scale' delay='1' duration='1' /> <chart_data> <row> <null/> <string>ETH0</string> <string>ETH1</string> <string>PPP0</string> </row> <row> <string>Total</string> <number py:content="values['total']['eth0']">10</number> <number py:content="values['total']['eth1']">30</number> <number py:content="values['total']['ppp0']">63</number> </row> <row> <string>TCP</string> <number py:content="values['tcp']['eth0']">20</number> <number py:content="values['tcp']['eth1']">65</number> <number py:content="values['tcp']['ppp0']">55</number> </row> <row> <string>UDP</string> <number py:content="values['udp']['eth0']">21</number> <number py:content="values['udp']['eth1']">5</number> <number py:content="values['udp']['ppp0']">90</number> </row> <row> <string>ICMP</string> <number py:content="values['icmp']['eth0']">21</number> <number py:content="values['icmp']['eth1']">5</number> <number py:content="values['icmp']['ppp0']">90</number> </row> </chart_data> </chart> </div> ================================================================================ Here "div" can be anything. It is just a placeholder to declare the xmlns:py namespace so that Kid works. This root element is removed from output leaving just the desired XML. The numbers filled here are there just to test the file. Removing the "div" element I can pass it to the flash directly to check what output it will give. In my controller I have: ================================================================================ @expose(template="fwgrapher.templates.xml_chart", format="xml") def flash(self): tcp = model.Ulog.select( AND(model.Ulog.q.tcpSport != None, model.Ulog.q.tcpDport != None)) udp = model.Ulog.select( AND(model.Ulog.q.udpSport != None, model.Ulog.q.udpDport != None)) icmp = model.Ulog.select(model.Ulog.q.icmpType != None) values = dict() values['tcp'] = dict() values['udp'] = dict() values['icmp'] = dict() values['total'] = dict() for interface in ('eth0', 'eth1', 'ppp0'): tcp = tcp.filter(model.Ulog.q.oobIn == interface) udp = udp.filter(model.Ulog.q.oobIn == interface) icmp = icmp.filter(model.Ulog.q.oobIn == interface) values['tcp'][interface] = int(tcp.count()) values['udp'][interface] = int(udp.count()) values['icmp'][interface] = int(icmp.count()) values['total'][interface] = (int(tcp.count()) + int(udp.count()) + int(icmp.count())) return dict(values = values) ================================================================================ What is missing here is calling the flash interactively through another template so that one can choose what chart to generate dinamically. Since it was just a test I haven't bothered with that. In my /static/flash directory I unpacked charts.tgz and created a test.html file to use it with this code: ================================================================================ <HTML> <BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"; WIDTH="400" HEIGHT="250" id="charts" ALIGN=""> <PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="charts.swf?library_path=charts_library&xml_source=/flash"></PARAM> <PARAM NAME="quality" VALUE="high"></PARAM> <PARAM NAME="bgcolor" VALUE="#666666"></PARAM> <EMBED src="charts.swf?library_path=charts_library&xml_source=/flash" quality="high" bgcolor="#666666" WIDTH="400" HEIGHT="250" NAME="charts" ALIGN="" swLiveConnect="true" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer";> </EMBED> </OBJECT> </BODY> </HTML> ================================================================================ This approach doesn't return neither builds a template directly on the controller, it keeps using Kid and all of its facilities. :-) I hope it helps to make your wiki entry a bit better. -- Jorge Godoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
