Do GET parsing engines regard a lone '&' > as an error? Do '&' and ';' work with everything? Hmm. I do not know what you mean with "GET parsing engines". The problem is, that you have to make a distinction between HTTP and HTML here. The HTTP protocol defines '&' as the parameter separator. Since HTML is an SGML dialect or instance, the & has to be encoded in HTML as &, because & is special in SGML (and XML), it starts an entity (as ö or &oring; etc.). So in HTML you have to write something like <a href="blah?b=1&c=3">... The browser then decodes the entity & to & and uses this in the GET request for HTTP: GET blah?b=1&c=3 HTTP/1.0 A problem arises, when you want to do a redirect. If you have for example a library method redirect($url), which does not decode the entities, then you must not use & in the URL, you have to use & Most browsers allow you to use & in URLs, so you normally will get away with this, but this will not be the case for XHTML, which has to be wellformed XML. My guts feeling is, that ';' as separator might not work with every HTTP server, but I do not really know this. Hope this helps. Greetings, Swen |

Here are some ideas about a gallery module for OI. I. content-providing interface A.features php gallery (gallery.sf.net) may be a useful model: - uploading 1 or more images consecutively, including captions - editing captions - repositioning images within the list - removing images - automatic thumbnail creation, and detection of dimensions (requires a new perl lib) B.future features - image rotation - viewing and editing permissions on sets of images - viewing preferences such as size (normal vs. full) - viewing stats (no. of times viewed) C. implementation Database can hold the image attributes: ID (why not have this be the path?) caption height width thumb dimensions, unless we want to store in a auto-generated path like imgAA-90x100.jpg viewing stats? .. II.viewing interface A.features The viewing interface might be a few methods such as the following. Parameters would be supported in the method call and otherwise in the url query string. 1. generating a spread of thumbnails: Params include: offset: which img to start with. default 0 count: how many thumbs to show. default 9 or so image: which image is "current" -- the thumbnail is not an active link. also, a different template would be used; e.g. thumbnail_current versus thumbnail_normal 2. displaying the "current" image at normal size: Params include: image: identifier for the image (i suppose it's possible to support params for the attributes of the image (height,width,caption) if we want to minimize the number of database queries. but then what do you do when you are sent a screen shot of your site containing some ludicrous caption that a user has manually inserted?) B.future features - slideshow - email this photo C. example usage ---------------------------------------- <fullsize photo> _previous photo_ _next photo_ <thumb> <thumb> <thumb> <thumb> <(thumb)> <thumb> <thumb> <thumb> <thumb> _previous page_ _next page_ --------------------------------------- Note that the center thumb is "current". Each of the other thumbs is linked to a page where it is current and the fullsize version appears at the top. D. implementation I am very new to OI but i'm guessing that this involves writing the functions in perl so that they can be called with PROCESS wherever the admin wants to insert the content. in the example there is first a call to gallery.image and then to gallery.thumbnails. The html will hopefull stay in templates. What will be needed? so far i have: thumbnail_current thumbnail_normal thumbnail_row thumbnails (the outer table holding the rows) image E. caching Since most galleries have only hundreds of images and each image has rather small attributes, i'd say this is good ground for caching. any comments appreciated damien On Sat, Mar 01, 2003 at 10:15:22AM -0500, Chris Winters wrote: > damien leri wrote: > > I'd like some image gallery functionality in OI, so let me know if something's > > been done already... > > Not yet as far as I know.

I *think* we only use the 'use base' functionality of Class::Fields. So I may be able to remove that requirement. (I think I was under the impression that Class::Accessor depended on Class::Fields, but that's not so.)

Hello all, Forgive me if this is a non-bug, I've just been toying with OI for a few days now and getting the hang of it. I changed a few templates and think I've noticed a caching problem. I added the event plugin, and added it to the admin_tools_box template by adding the line: [%- PROCESS event::event_tools_box -%] to the bottom of it. Now when I reload the main page, the "Search Events" and the "New Event" options show up in the admin tools box. But, sometimes when I reload, or I access it with another browser, those links don't show up. It seems like some Apache children have the updated template, and some don't. Is there any way to force all children to reload the template(s) other than restarting the server? That might be a handy thing for me to work on adding to get used to the system, a 'clear template cache' button or similar if needed. In other news, I couldn't get the tips_quotes_cw package to install. I installed it to my OI base directory, then applied it to the sites, but I couldn't get the install_sql command to work: ahurst@sdcsi3 src$ sudo oi_manage apply_package --package=tips_quotes_cw --website_dir=/usr/local/OpenInteract/sites/main Running apply_package... ========================= Status of the packages you requested to be applied: tips_quotes_cw (0.08) OK ========================= Finished applying package! ahurst@sdcsi3 src$ sudo oi_manage install_sql --package=tips_quotes_cw --website_dir=/usr/local/OpenInteract/sites/main Running install_sql... ========================= Cannot include installer (OpenInteract::SQLInstall::TipsQuotesCw) to system.

I'd second Andrew on this, use CSS2. Cross-platform support is a bit patchy in places (I tend to resort to tables for layout) but it is much easier providing themes for different customers using CSS and degrades well on older browsers. I've been down the hand-coded FONT tags route and converting to stylesheets was not fun. One problem I've found is if you use a SELECT dropdown then it shows through layers. This is part of the HTML standard, unfortunately, so there's a choice of simple screens (my preference), or using Javascript to show/hide SELECTs, or using TABLEs as containers instead of DIVs. -Peter --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

I suspect this never showed up because most people use lowercase fieldnames all the time. Not that there's anything wrong with upper/mixedcase fieldnames, I was just a little surprised this had never popped up before. It's a problem in several places and I think I wrapped them all up. (The fact that it's in several places also points out nasty design stuff, but more time for that later...) At least the new tests I created work! I'll release 0.75 with the fix included tomorrow AM.

Trying to build momentum :-) I have the general environment running under Apache/mod_perl 1.x, CGI and a standalone HTTP server (using LWP). The site can be deployed under the root or under any other directory, the controller is created and dispatching to the right action, URLs are created ok, all parameters (including uploads) work under all three environments, headers, etc. I'm going to take some time and port some of the core packages to kind of smoke out where work needs to be concentrated.

Definitely CSS. On Scoop (http://scoop.kuro5hin.org/) we used all inlined font/color etc tags and now are trying to move to CSS. Its not easy. As last count, I think there were over 500 places to modify. Also, all code is built assuming that type of formatting. All browsers support some level of CSS now, so I don't think compatibility will be a problem. The only place I see problems are the more complex setups. Like using no table tags, only CSS. I think http://www.smokedot.org does this. (ok, after a quick check, they use some tables, but almost all CSS.) So anyway, that's my hand. In related news, how is OI2 going? I've noticed the wiki docs have been updated a lot lately... -Andrew At 10:29 AM 2/20/2003 -0500, you wrote: >Just a quick show of hands: how many folks would like to use CSS for >display formatting in OI2 versus the current inlined font/color/etc. >stuff?

Just a quick show of hands: how many folks would like to use CSS for display formatting in OI2 versus the current inlined font/color/etc. stuff? I have some ideas of how to do it (see OpenInteract2Theme in the wiki) but I haven't done external web development for a while and am a little out of touch with what designers use. Chris |
