RE: [binarycloud-dev] bye-bye [xm2php]

[Andreas A. <a.a...@th...>]

Hi Alex,

sorry, maybe I was a bit too fast when I inspected the files (I visited the
wrong one). The output generated for a page is actually unusable. The
Keyless module arrays in page are normally translated to the
"container-format" we apply also to datasources/queries/lang:

load => array(
	array(modulefoo),
	array(modulebar),
	...
);

With Andris' latest files I get a structure like this:

load => array(
	'module' => array(
		modulefoodata
	)
);

This does not work, 'caus onyl the last module entry of the pagedef is in
the generated page (the key module is sequently overwritten).

For now, I'd be happy just to render some pages without a db back-end, and 
then try displaying data from MySQL, using authentication, updating data...

I need to look at this, but I'm willing to bet that I'll agree.

RE: [binarycloud-dev] Using r2

[Andreas A. <a.a...@th...>]

Hi Gerry,

the most important point is to understand the page render pipeline, I think.
Have a look at the htdocs files in binarycloud/users/htdocs. Then you should
pick a module loaded in load-section of a page and visit the source of the
module in users/mod/name.

Then have a look at the presentation stuff. Module output is wrapped in
html. This is done via templates declared in the page file and defined in
user/tmpl/html.

Once you got a picture of how a page is generated it will become easy to
write modules etc.

At least the specs might be interesting too: binarycloud/docs/specs/

If something is not clear just ask.

Andi

RE: [binarycloud-dev] make errors with xml2php

[Andreas A. <a.a...@th...>]

Hi Alex,

That's how I would do it:

1:
We use a unix standard location for the shell interpreter
i.e. #!/usr/bin/php (creating a symlink isn't that hard, but only needed for
debugging purposes, see below)

2:
For the make process we introduce an new variable in
Makefile.in that is determined by a configure script i.e:

PHPCMD= "{by configure determined location}"

(after configure e.g. PHPCMD="/usr/local/bin/php -q")

in Makefiles that use command line php we just use
this syntax:

 @$(PHPCMD) $(XML2PHP) ... options etcpp

pros:
- the php command is in a single place
- configure don't has to modify all php shell scripts
- Actually we could leave out the #! line and with some mods
  the scripts could be "incldable" and used through the web
  (maybe we need this later => builing triggerd via an
  admin interface or whatever might be useful in the future).

So, I've got all this wonderful source. I did a make, as stated in the

[binarycloud-dev] Revised files (sf)

[Andreas A. <a.a...@th...>]

I modified datasources/query definitions, revised and commited the following
files.

Here we go:

[/r2/binarycloud/user/conf/Datasources.xml.php/Datasources.php]
- slight format changes too be consistent with lang, query etc
- changed "Case" of metabase specific tags. i.e "IncludePath" instead of
  "includepath"
- changed tag <database_name> to <database>


[/r2/binarycloud/base/mgr/QueryManager.php]
- general
    - changed 'QUERY' and 'ARGTYPES' records in query statements to
      lowercase to work with xml2php output

- method PrepareConnection()
    - added proper support for datasources format
    - added support for "default" datasource
      used if no datasource name is supplied via init
      (i.e. missing in pagedef)

- method _ProcessResult()
    - added strtolower for column-names in resultbuffer

- method _LoadQueries()
    - changed method to support to load queries in query definition format


[/r2/binarycloud/user/mod/query_example/*]
- changed example and schemas to new conventions
  should work with oracle and mysql now
- added qry/ directory and example query definitons
- added demonstration of queryloading in example

[/r2/binarycloud/user/htdocs/query_example.xml.php]

Table builder has been "renamed" to listbuilder, because it will take care
of any ordered list of data, from a <ul> up to a big, complex table.

I think i've seen this, and to be honest I've never had much use for html
abstraction, except for things like <input> etc.

In some case, advanced tools are necessary (like ListBuilder, FormBuilder).

You are of course welcome to use that lib (the code lookged good to me..)
for anything you do.

Well, the builder's won't ingetrate any html, they'll use default 'external'
templates. Really a builder manages taking a set of data or metadata and
turning it into a useable 'definition' of a bit of presentation.

Re: HTML builders

disclaimer: I just wanted to throw this out, as I have not extensively
researched the possibilities much.

I noticed that TableBuilder wasn't listed in the latest source tree
listing.  This may be a good time to discuss how indepth these builders
will/can be.  Question 1, what is the requirement for the need of a
builder?  The builders you mentioned here all (?) seem to work hand/hand
with other parts of the bc core.  (ex: formBuilder uses entityManager) 
Is there a place for builders that merely simplifies the HTML rendering?
(ie: tableBuilder, headerBuilder, ...)

There is a WOW pretty neat set of classes by Walt A. Boring IV called
phpHtmlLib (http://phphtmllib.sourceforge.net/) which does just this. 
One nice feature this project has is the ability to specify HTML 4.0 or
XHTML when you render your page.

I'm not suggesting that we integrated it into binarycloud;  I simply was
checking it out when I started questioning how extensive the binarycloud
builders will be.

[binarycloud-dev] bye-bye [xm2php]

[Andris S. <an...@do...>]

I'm moving to the university, so until I get into the new flat and get a new
internet connection and buy a new computer, etc. I'm going to be offline.

Howerver, I feel I should leave things in order, so here's the latest
version of xmltphp (sorry for sending the files to the list again, didn't
have any time to play with CVS).

xml2php now uses the idea from Alex to know when to generate keyless
arrays(the version before generated keyless arrays if there were two array
keys with the same name, but it didn't work if there was only one array
defined).
_Because of this change it is necesary to change the bcp.xml page
definitions and the way Page processes them._

So,
<langs>
    <lang>
         <name>Latvian</name>
    </lang>
    <lang>
        <name>English</name>
    </lang>
</langs>

    will become

$langs=array(
    array(
        'name' => "Latvian",
    ),
    array(
        'name' => "English",
    ),
);


Over and out,

you aren't, we can set it earlier.
I think that we'll end up doing something like
include_once(BC_PATH."user/conf/prepend.php") or something, so we don't have
to do anything special.

prepend was put into htdocs by default, no by design, and I would prefer to
move it out entirely.

??? I thought the user constants are loaded with the init process, init
reqires BC_PATH and init is importet by import() that is provided by
./prepend.php. So how should BC_PATH_HTDOCS work without init. Or am i
missing something?

Jepp, that's really nice. The naming is a bit misleading, but when you
interpret the command line as a webserver/CGI interface everything is right
again :-)

We're going to have to use BC_PATH_HTDOCS to do the include from now on.

But that's set in user constants, so all should be well :)

really! cool.
one would think that $HTTP_SERVER_VARS would be associated with running php
through cgi or as a module, but hey :)

[binarycloud-dev] helper method extract_params

[Andreas A. <a.a...@th...>]

I've done a helper method that some of you might find usefull, too. It's in
global scope (non class method):

// method extract_params {{{
/**
 * Non class method extract_params extracts the params passed to
 * a module to class vars.
 * Called within the constructor method of you module like:
 *
 *     extract_params($this, $_params)
 *
 * It actually does the following:
 *
 *     - copies $_params to $this->params
 *     - references each key of $this->params to $this->key
 *
 * @param   object  The object instance this functions should applied to
 * @param   array   The parameter array passed to the constructor
 * @return  bool    True/false
 * @author  Andreas Aderhold, an...@bi...
 * @access  public
 */

function extract_params(&$_cls, $_params) {
	if (!is_array($_params)) {
		return;
	}
	$_cls->params = $_params;
	foreach (array_keys($_cls->params) as $name) {
		$_cls->$name =& $_cls->params[$name];
	}
}

// }}}
