Since you're about to make changes Mark, the notes below won't be useful in future so I've put them here rather than a new topic. Please feel free to use only the bits you wish to.
I've also removed four of the duplicated messages above. Tony ============================== The TurboGears 2 Wiki Tutorial ============================== These notes refer to the web page:: http://www.turbogears.org/2.0/docs/main/Wiki20/wiki20.html The top line of the page says: TurboGears--1.9.7 / The TurboGears 2 Wiki Tutorial previous | next | modules | index The bottom line of the page says: Last updated on Aug 29, 2008 Although some of the comments below refer to changes required to make things work, some of them are extra notes and my own opinions. I also feel it is useful to always mention new imports. The code changes are usually obvious. Although this may be a little simplistic, we are dealing with brand new users here, so maybe it's appropriate. Feel free to comment or change anything. Please note these notes do not cover installation issues. Installation worked fine with no problems for me. Setup ===== 6. -- Add (to explain the use for 2 shells):: One shell can be used to run and monitor the server, the second for general shell use. Quickstart ========== To close down the web server, just use control-C (linux) or ???. Controller and View =================== No additions. Controller Code =============== The ``flash()`` function appears to have already been removed from the whole of the code. Displaying the Page =================== The ``xi:`` namespace from w3.org is also used for includes. Wiki Model and Database ======================= Note that ``Page`` is the class name and ``page.py`` is the file name. Database Configuration ====================== We don't make any changes to ``development.ini`` Initializing the Tables ======================= The ``initializeDB.py`` script will not run as is, due to a conflict with some zope code. Add an extra import:: import transaction and change the commit from:: DBSession.commit() to:: transaction.commit() Incidentally, all uses of ``DBSession.commit()`` in the rest of the tutorial should also be removed as the ``commit()`` is done automatically by TurboGears now. Adding Controllers ================== You will get errors here when running the scripts if you do not have a valid database with the relevant record for ``FrontPage`` already created in it. It is not sufficient for the size of the database to be nonzero. Use ``$ sqlite3 devdata.db`` then ``sqlite> select * from pages;`` for further checks. See http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite.html Adding Views (Templates) ======================== References to ``master.html`` seems to be a little irrelevant here unless they are *all* listed. Editing pages ============= No additions. Saving our edits ================ The ``DBSession.commit()`` function should no longer be used. It will generate zope errors as the ``commit()`` is now done automatically by TurboGears. Neither is flush() required to be used. What about WikiWords? ===================== We need an additional ``import tg`` for the url (although ``from tg import url`` is more consistent with the rest of the code, provided ``tg.url()`` is edited in the method). In the line:: wikiwords = re.compile(r"\\b([A-Z]\\w+[A-Z]+\\w+)") since we have used the r"..." operator we don't need the double backslashes. One of each backslash pair should be removed throughout the rest of the code examples. This also applies in the ``re`` replacement within the ``default()`` method. When editing the page text in the wiki from now on, we are of course entering reStructuredText, for example paragraphs must be separated by a blank line. see:: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html The XML() function is not simply stripping off the XML, it is being processed into a form that the browser can use. Presumably the output of ``process_parts`` is XML not just HTML. Hey, where’s the page? ====================== We need a new import here:: from sqlalchemy.exceptions import InvalidRequestError Adding a page list ================== No additions. Further Exploration =================== Don't use the "mailing list" use the "TurboGears discussion list". <<link as at top of this web page>> On Oct 6, 4:14 pm, "Mark Ramm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sure, send it here.
