Open Source Etailer / News: Recent posts

I've replaced MochiKit in favor of dojo toolkit. The viewsrc code has been modified to work with dojo and I've added a jslib parameter to the doc:page tag to support adding javascript libraries. The onload parameter of the doc:page tag was modified to call dojo.addOnLoad instead of altering the body tag.

I've added MochiKit and SourceHighlighter javascript libraries to this release. I modified the doc:page tag to include the script tags to include these libraries upon loading. The http://osetailer.progw.org site will give you a look at the SourceHighlighting combined with the MochiKit library to give you a view of the source files for the site.

This update adds some new taglib tags, news, newscolumn and menuitem. I've also revamped the menu taglib to point the the WEB-INF/menu .menu file.

I've worked on the entire set of generated html to make it validate with the w3.org validator. I'll be adding a doc:validator tag to emit the appropriate links for the CSS and XHTML validators in the near future.

I am looking for anyone with desire to help with design, coding, documentation, presentation, graphics and locale translation. Coding is stored in subversion format for easy updating a revision control.

I updated the v1a release with this weeks changes and it is now ready for your use. I improved the style handling, moved the ApplicationResources to a location that better suites the product->application naming convention and updated the about.psp and about.cmf to reflect the changes.

I will be working to make http://osetailer.progw.org the site that contains the released snapshot and create another virtual site http://osedevtest.progw.org that will keep the svn changes updated every 15 minutes via cron. To allow the development to be seen real time.

OSELIB is the backend library and API that will provide RAD for the OSEtailer suite of applications. The OSELIB code is being stored in the SVN repository and can be viewed in action at http://osetailer.progw.org. A snapshot release of OSELIB will be completed sometime in July 2006. OSELIB is using a PHP MVC library named Studs and created by Dan Allen. Studs was developed and designed after the Jakarta Struts MVC and makes use of taglib tecnology to implement the front end templates. I have added to that library and now have a osetailer-doc taglib that is designed to remove all content from the template and placed into files and/or tables with locale distinguishers in place.... read more
