Re: [Codestriker-user] Break into horizontal scrolling panes ?

Alas, that's suboptimal. While it does fit everything into the browser, the wrap causes the line numbers to align to the center of the wrapped lines (which is hard to read), and frankly the resulting wrapped layout is hard to read (my target users tend to be fussy about code layout).

Looking at the templates, it seems like template/en/default/viewdeltas.html.tmpl is where the code gets rendered ? I'll see if I can split the single table into 2. My CSS is rusty, but I recall doing something similar for other projects (maybe using a scrollable div instead of table ?)

I guess I'll kick it around a bit.

Hi Dean,

Thanks for your message.

I haven't tried this, but edit the html/codestriker.css file, and replace:

white-space: pre;

white-space: pre-wrap;

This might give you something closer to what you want..

Cheers,
David

[Codestriker-user] Break into horizontal scrolling panes ?

[Dean Arnold <dean.arnold@pa...>]

1st, many thnx for a great tool! And in my old favorite language!

But I've got a request: my source code has long lines, and the lack of a wrapping capability is a serious limitation. Is it possible to break the display table into 2 nested, fixed width tables w/ horizontal scrolling ? Or alternately, into iframes w/ horizontal scrollbars ?

If you can point me at the general area where this might be applied, I'd be happy to play w/ it and submit a patch.

Re: [Codestriker-user] Break into horizontal scrolling panes ?

[Dean Arnold <dean.arnold@pa...>]

I'm attaching a sample piece of html (hope it gets thru).

It accomplishes most of what I'm after. It works in FF and Chrome, but of course, not in IE (I tested IE8). I haven't tested safari or opera yet.

However, I'm not certain where to make the incision to inject this into the templates. Its going to add a div around the tables used for the old/new sources, and adds a bit of JS.

Question: will the delta view always pad the shorter file to the same # of lines as the longer ? This hack seems to handle different file sizes OK, but to be usable both panes have to have vertical scrollbars; whereas if both are the same length, then the vertical scroll can be hidden on the left (or the right) pane.

If you can mark the spot to inject this, I'll hack and give it a whirl.

TIA,

Have a look at viewdeltas.html.tmpl, which goes through all the deltas
and creates the tables.

> Question: will the delta view always pad the shorter file to the same # of lines as the longer ? This hack seems to handle different file sizes OK, but to be usable both panes have to have vertical scrollbars; whereas if both are the same length, then the vertical scroll can be hidden on the left (or the right) pane.

They should be the same height - blank lines are inserted.

Re: [Codestriker-user] Break into horizontal scrolling panes ?

[Dean Arnold <dean.arnold@pa...>]

I've managed to make progress (see attachment). Its not a pretty hack, but its getting close to what I'm after. Fwiw, I've only tested w/ FF and chrome so far. As stated before, I don't know that this will ever work w/ IE (at least, not wo/ major JS hackery...and since I avoid the blue E like plague, I call "not it")

Other gotchas:

1. It probably won't work as is w/ "view all files"; that can probably be fixed by a bit more JS (A separate set of panes for each file, and installing each set of pane's ID's into the scrollbar handler)
2. The sizing of the panes is static; I need to JS up the window dimensions and adjust accordingly
3. Empty lines in one pane are smaller height than non-empty lines in the other pane, which causes gradual misalignment between the panes. I'm guessing a CSS adjustment is needed to get adjacent rows in left and right tables to always be the same height.

Any ideas how to deal w/ item (3) ? Maybe empty lines need a class definition to match ?

Re: [Codestriker-user] Break into horizontal scrolling panes ?

[Dean Arnold <dean.arnold@pa...>]

I managed to solve item (3) on my own. If the old or new source line is empty (has an empty line number), I apply an un-linked "0" w/ white color so its invisible. That forces the table row layout to the fixed font size wo/ displaying anything. Fixed version attached.

Again, its not pretty, but does get the job done. This is starting to look acceptable to my users; item (1) should be simple...item (2) is a bit more difficult.

Re: [Codestriker-user] Break into horizontal scrolling panes ?

[Dean Arnold <dean.arnold@pa...>]

One last (major) update for now (attached). This solves the "View all files" issue, and cleans up the template code a bit. There's an oddity with the Parallel viewer that causes the left pane to reset to the top when the horizontal scrollbar moves...probably some DOM element that needs tweaking. But I think its generally useful...or at least good enough.
