dynapi-help — List relating to using the DynAPI, bug reports, and suggestions

Re: [Dynapi-Help] F.A.Q. updated

[Richard :o <ma...@ri...>]

hi,
Looks very good as usual;
* Maybe you can update section 2.3 , forum is dead. This info is not =
consequent with 2.1
* Section 4, is this resource still being used? are bug posts/fixes & =
patches etc kept up to date, or is it all mailing list/CVS now?
* In 5.3 you reference 2.2 for forums, should be 2.1 I think.

Richard :)

  This new f.a.q. now also uses the W3C style sheet, giving it a nicer =

RE: [Dynapi-Help] F.A.Q. updated

[Pascal B. <pa...@dy...>]

another update to the f.a.q.  I added the CVS topic (using Robert's posting)
and a few other topics (like Mac support).

Still planning on adding "code" questions, but seeing that most questions in
the mailinglist are about widgets that are still evolving it will be hard
task (and I've typed enough for today :)


If someone could add "Using CVS on Linux"  and maybe "Using CVS on Mac"  in
there, we will have that topic covered.

[Dynapi-Help] Manipulating Images on layer

[Tal O. <oro...@id...>]

Hi,

I'm new to DynAPI 2, so I hope my question is not that stupid:

I'm building a slideshow application
I need to load an Image on screen and then, start preloading all the =
others in its category.
But I want to refered to it with-in a Div.
from what I've understand, I need to :

1. Create a parent DynLayer
2. using setHTML(
    2.1- insert the DIV using DynInline
    2.2- insert with <IMG> with in the DIV
3. Display the new Layer

But how do I change the img.src within this DIV?

Thx

Re: [Dynapi-Help] html links inside loadpanel documents

[Peter L. <com...@op...>]

Nuno

You are on the right track. In ColdFusion there is a problem with database
access and variable referencing in the xxx.cfm in the setHTML("xxx.cfm").
Perhaps the same problem also exists in PHP and ASP   :-}~

I call another object that does all the database stuff in xxx.cfm using the
<cfmodule> tag, subsequently returning pure HTML that you want to load into the
panel. Perhaps there is an equivalent on your platform.

Re[2]: [Dynapi-Help] Scrollbar (or skinsslider)

[Robert R. <rra...@ya...>]

To add a scrollbar you just use:
var sbar = this.addChild(new ScrollBar(1));

If you are not inside of a DynLayer just replace "this" with the
dynlayer obj.  sbar will be set to the scrollbar so you can use
all of the methods of the scrollbar, etc on sbar.

Re[2]: [Dynapi-Help] glideTo?

[Robert R. <rra...@ya...>]

Put it in the dynapi/ext/ directory and say:
DynAPI.include(dynapi.ext.glide.js)

A good idea would be to convert this to glideanim using the pathanim
as the base class.

I don't know if this works on anything other than Win - set the

        document.width=<pixels>
        document.height=<pixels>

Another way to go about it would be to have the content on-screen, but

RE: [Dynapi-Help] Scrollbar (or skinsslider)

[Nuno F. <nun...@wi...>]

I tried to add them as a Child object of a normal layer, (which would be
very convenient) but it doesn't seem to
work.
Anyway, because the scroll object is a DynLayer, with all it's methods
available, I just use
scrollobject.moveTo, scrollobject.moveBy, scrollobject.setVisible, etc, to
"tie" them to the layer
that I want to scroll. The setVisible is particulary good when you working
with different sizes of text
and several files because you only want the scroll bars to appear if the
layer needs scrolling (i.e. the
height of the text is greater than the height of the layer).

RE: [Dynapi-Help] Scroll2 and List

[Nuno F. <nun...@wi...>]

Don't worry about ASP.
I use PHP and you probably don't like it much :)

I figured as much. I already was using a IFrame
to do that in Explorer on all my BackOffice applications.

I can see where that is an advantage, you probably use small
asp files, each one just doing the necessary db access to get
the data you want.

How do you hide the frame? Just put in 100% height on the main
frame?

just a thought.. but in my db based applications,
I don't reload the page even once..
I use dynamic html to hold the data,
then, when I need to update the data, I load an asp (yes, I use asp..)
in a hidden frame which generates some javascript

RE: [Dynapi-Help] html links inside loadpanel documents

[Nuno F. <nun...@wi...>]

It works, as long as the code is client-side.
For instance PHP or ASP code is treated as text
because the file is not processed by the server.

I'm trying to find a way to use the setHTML()
to get a PHP file processed by the server and
displayed on the page (on a layer, of course)
without reloading the whole page.

I think I can do that in Explorer, using a Iframe.
(frame.location="file.php") and copy the HTML
produced to a string and setHTML("string") to a layer.

Not sure how to do that in NS4+, though because each
layer on NS4 is treated like a new document, maybe there's
hope yet.

RE: [Dynapi-Help] setZIndex

[Nuno F. <nun...@wi...>]

Isn't there a setStyle() function on the DynAPI that let's you
change the css properties manually?
Maybe you should try that, to see if it changes the Z-Index...

Subject: [Dynapi-Help] setZIndex


Hey all,

I am writing a small widget for reordering a list objects.  I was using
drag-drop but ran into too many incompatibilities on the Mac.  Anyway, each
object has an up/down arrow on it.  When you click on the arrows the object
slides in that direction and trades places with the item that was in the
target position.  This all works great.  Didn't even take as long to write
as I thought it would.  My problem is, setZIndex() does not appear to work
at all.  I am using inline layers for the objects so I am wondering if this
is part of the problem.  I would like the focus object to stay on top.  The
whole thing really does work just fine now, but it would add that extra
touch if I could keep the focus object on top.  Has anyone else had problems
with setZIndex() and inline layers?

[Dynapi-Help] DynAPI js vs. src (was: DynAPI seems don't work with NS 4.73)

[Informazioni I. <hen...@po...>]

Thank you for the help provided! In fact it was so: using the src all works
fine.
I want to make another question: if I want to use the compressed jar (it's
very important for me to have the less "bytes" as I can to download for the
users!) how must I do? I've seen such jar in the js directory, but I don't
know how to use them instead of the src files... They are much smaller!!!

Thanks in advance as everytime (hey folks, you're very gentle!!!)

RE: [Dynapi-Help] Repost: Who should use CVS etc

[Pascal B. <pb...@oi...>]

1) It's the idea that only developers (and admins) are using CVS for
updating and stuff, that's why there's a developers section.  Ofcourse this
means that everybody wants to join the developers list which is something I
think we (the developers and admins) should get some pointers for.. because
adding everybody to the developers list is a large task, and maybe we should
then just open CVS up completely.
 
2) Good point, the best thing would be to get a list of important fixes and
modifications.. I think Dan's the initial guy to specify those things, and
maybe we should start a thread for other people to add ideas (not discuss
them, just add your ideas for now) .. We can then start and discuss the
ideas and get a list of bugs and ideas for a next release (after Robert
uploads this one).
 
3) I think the mailing list is proving an excellent location for bug fixes
and bug reports.. it's a bit hectic with so many mails, but I for one rather
see them in this list then on a forum (or worse in my personal mail.. hint,
hint :-)
 
4) Maybe we can setup an ftp site at sourceforge (Robert?)  but I personally
don't mind the attachments, there usually not big (only a few kb, that's
like having a gif-logo in your email signature).
 
I think nobody uses those other lists  :)

Onderwerp: [Dynapi-Help] Repost: Who should use CVS etc



Hi, i posted these questions last week, but with very limited response, it
seems everyone is
in the mood for answering newby questions today, so maybe you'll give mine a
try?
 
A few questions:
 
Is it the idea that everybody following this project makes their changes
through CVS,
    or only the admins/developers.
 
How do we know who has done what, or what they are working on at the moment?
    Is it not possible to put different compact tasks up for  the takers,
who take the job,
    and keep the list up to date on their work? I find it a bit of a waste
to hear Dan is spending
    one or two days putting semi-colons at the end of all the lines.
   
Is it best just to submit bugreports here (mailinglist) ?
Do the developers mind other people debugging their code, or prefer a
bugreport?
 
Isn't it usually considered bad netiquette to send attachments with your
mail, (or
is this less important now most people have fast connections/machines)
especially
as you can't get the attachments on the web interface. Isn't there anywhere
(ftp or so) where
anyone (not only admins) can upload a file.
 
And what's wrong with the mailing lists, only help and dev seem to work.
 
Back to work now...
cheers, Richard:o)
 

RE: [Dynapi-Help] DynAPI Guru Question

[Pascal B. <pb...@oi...>]

I learned DHTML coding thru Dan's work :)  I started helping out on this
project (january this year.. has it been that long!? ;)

And just looked at the code trying to understand it, I never read a book
about javascript or dhtml just looking at examples and other peoples code
should point you in the right way.

Take the code of the DynAPI, and try to see what happens starting with
simple functions like creating a new DynLayer, follow the stream of the code
and you'll eventually know where to find tihngs and after that you'll also
know what every function actually does.

RE: [Dynapi-Help] NS and Scrollbars

[Joachim L. <lu...@ho...>]

I don't know if this works on anything other than Win - set the
width/height of the document yourself:

	document.width=<pixels>
	document.height=<pixels>

Another way to go about it would be to have the content on-screen, but
invisible.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] DynAPI seems don't work with Netscape 4.73

[Richard :o <ma...@ri...>]

i just realised, you probably forgot to change /js/ to /src/ in an existing
doc.
<Script language="Javascript" src="../src/dynapi.js"></script>
DynAPI.setLibraryPath('../src/lib/')
to use the uncompressed files.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] setZIndex

[Richard :o <ma...@ri...>]

hi,
Yes I have, I found sometimes you have to do layer.setZIndex(+1) or (-1),
and in NS I had to set both layers, the lower one and the top one.
