Yes, a class which properly abstracts all that.

Have a look at the bottom of that sample entity definition:

if there is not a 1:1 field correspondence, you need to define a field map.
that's shown at the bottom in entity:schema.

Yep. Those are the functions I'm using to create the image generator class.

Alex,
I'm looking at a re-write for the Makefile system.

I'd like to have something like this...

binarycloud/Makefile.in -> things that all makefiles will need

binarycloud/Makefile -> make base, make ext, make user

binarycloud/user/Makefile -> makes all site sub-directories / creates
new ones

binarycloud/user/site_name/Makefile -> makes site_name for every
language defined in site_name/conf/Languages.php.xml

This change is most warranted due to the multiple conf/Languages.php.xml
we now have.

This will also allow you to run 'make' from anywhere in your tree and it
will know exactly what to make with what language(s). (with no
environment variable prerequisites other than $BCHOME)

So _how_ does binarycloud figure out the mapping from entity to tables and
fields?

Sorry if I'm not getting something rather obvious.

because htdocs/ has some specific requirements, specifically bcp->php
translation, (eventually) resources handling + merges, etc.

it isn't out of place, then again it isn't feature complete, either. that
may be the source of your $.02 :)

Ok, I'm seeing it now.  I'm answering my own questions the more I
research the system. :p

I'm thinking of going about it like this:

in binarycloud/Makefile

* get a list of langs (already in place)
* get a list of sites (will do)

foreach site {
	foreach lang {
		do stuff
	}
}

Why is there a user/htdocs/Makefile?

Can't everything that's done here be done in user/Makefile?

Since htdocs/ is the only directory under user/ with a make system, it
seems out of place.

That's one of the things a ./configure would be great for... making sure all
the various foo that needs to be set up is properly set up in the env, etc.

Glad you found it.

This was from a missing $BCLANG which is declared in the
binarycloud/Makefile.  Running make from binarycloud/user/ will bust
unless BCLANG is set in the environment.

I think there's something that might have a bit of what you're talking
about, called vagrant.

There's a copy of vagrant in ext./ I think.

Anyway, VAGRANT is a graphing class, but it uses IMLIB to do the image
operations, and I would be _amazed_ if you couldn't use it to lean th eimlib
functions so you could do text overlays, etc.

I don't know of anything specific, though obviously a quick run through
sourceforge would be good.

if you end up having to build the code, I'd love to have it as part of BC.
There's all kinds of cool things you could do with that as part of a CMS
(photo management app, etc etc etc)

hi Jason,

I'm not seeing a busted makes process...

can you send me the message?

I'll make sure the sync is complete, but I haven't made any mods since I did
the restructuring :)

I might be creating a JPEG generator in php and was wonder if it would be of
use to BinaryCloud. The generator would take text and overlay it onto an
existing jpeg or create a new one. This would allow for pretty printing of
data. You can use a high quality logo and different fonts. You can do this
with the PDF library, of course, but the commercial license starts at $500.

Is there an exiting class that performs these functions?
Should it be included in BinaryCloud?

Charlie

If you run make in user/ currently, it busts out due to missing required
things such as language, etc.

Should make only be run from binarycloud/, or do changes need to be made
to allow makes from various subdirs?

and ignore my message about it :)

first, do a _clean_ checkout of the code from sourceforge.
then, make sure there is a binarycloud/build directory and it's empty
then to a make.

when I make with the current codeset, I don't get a build/htdocs/ dir.

Ugh..  I just did a 'make clean', and ran another make to find that this
directory now is not there.

Oh well, ignore this I guess.

>After doing a make, I noticed

>binarycloud/build/htdocs

>Why is this directory here?

After doing a make, I noticed

binarycloud/build/htdocs

Why is this directory here?

Alex, am I seeing this right?

...

$ cd binarycloud/
$ make

This will make all valid site directories found in binarycloud/user

OR

$ cd binarcloud/user
$ make site_name

This will make just the site_name site directory.  If this site_name
directory does not exist, it gets created, and populated from the
user/default directory.

jason

Gotcha.

hehe.

yes, it's encryption for three-year-olds!

Cool, as long as using that tag doesn't mean you get shitty 56bit encryption
with a static salt :)
