I suggested phpGNUe API, but dereks is better phpGEAS API Mr_You: are you volunteering? eh? you mena a PHP forms client? I'll volunteered what I am capable of ;-) mean I thought the phpGW guys were considering it GEAS API is a CORBA API chillywilly: has to go beyond a forms client why? use friggin CORBA stephen: the place where you could probably help most would be to help chillywilly with the methods thing a phpGEAS API should give enough functionality to create a shopping cart system for example ra3vat (ds@195.239.64.194) joined #gnuenterprise. Action: chillywilly just needs more time....haha can't you CORBA though? why make some other API doesn't PHP have some CORBA support? sharing reusable routines is good you make no sense what do you mean? just write a forms client in PHP that rednders the thing on the web and talks to GEAS just like how the other forms should work aren't corba connections and web connections typically very different? one is somewhat persistent and the other is usually not? I don't want to use a form I just want to access GEAS not a GNUe Form that is well I am asuming that PHP can do CORBA you don't need to do forms per se is CORBA a persistent connection, I haven't read up on it no not really you get an object reference and then you can make remote calls ok where would a php client store this object reference? first you should look and see if PHP has CORBA support it is just a big ol stribng I thought someone had confirmed that already big ol' string no but yer right I said I was making an assumption it would be nice if it did and the proper way to talk to GEAS right now derek (derek@204.192.62.18) left irc: [x]chat http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.satellite.php nickr (nick@sdsl-64-7-6-186.dsl.nyc.megapath.net) left irc: Read error to nickr[sdsl-64-7-6-186.dsl.nyc.megapath.net]: Connection reset by peer uhh last updated today heh hehe nickr (nick@sdsl-64-7-6-186.dsl.nyc.megapath.net) joined #gnuenterprise. the field that in .gcd looks like *from in database placed as _from How should i refer to it when do obj.getField("what?")?

think well the idea is that for web content you want to go beyond creating a form.. it will need to be layed out on top of the web page, so the form is just a method to access the backend. form is a general purpose GUI though damn i hated vi in college... if i ever accidently got into it, i just +rebooted the damn machine... omg rofl :q it's that easy why would a form not beed good enough for a CMS? it is supposed to be a general purpose GUI er, UI hence we have ncurses and a rotting Java client too ra3vat: was your question answered? but I think it would be coooler to people able to slap on different fronends....or at leats write different forn ends and all be the using th esam clent code for various database drivers including GEAS the reusable stuff but I know dick about that reinhard: lookat this from geas log: SQL query: 'SELECT currency__conversion._from,currency__conversion.objectid FROM currency__conversion WHERE (currency__conversion."from"='28ff49e10f1742da8ff91b3fa9a883fe') LIMIT 1' PostgreSQL reported a fatal error PostgreSQL Error message: ERROR: No such attribute or function 'from' stephen: the connection is stalled hrm, how do you send messages to just one person? try it again /msg is easier chilly: I can see a reason why you would want a web Forms client, but I can see needed functionality that is focused more on web-content/interaction.. in other words, I don't see a reason why I would create a website using Forms Designer.. reinhard: it was just after conv = gdb.loadSingleObject("currency::conversion", "from", cur.getField("objectid")) ra3vat: what did you do? ra3vat: try s/from/_from/ for the python command Action: reinhard is surprised how many parts of geas he still doesn't understand reinhard: chillywilly advised me not to worry about _from in database :) ra3vat: btw from looking at the IDL file please use cur.objectId instead of cur.getField("objectid") reinhard: seems a bug it do SELECT currency__conversion._from and then WHERE (currency__conversion."from" ra3vat: i think this _from is not generated from your "from" (sounds weird) i think geas automatically loads all fields of a class that are defined in that class via SELECT no matter what you ask for ra3vat: so still please try "_from" instead of "from" it works but is it right to do that? no right would be the third parameter of loadSingleObject would be a variant parameter and if the second parameter is a field name of type "object" then the thir parameter should be of type object so you should be able to do loadSingleObject ("class", "strfield", "foobar") as well as loadSingleObject ("currency::conversion", "from", cur) because from the outside view of geas there should be a field called "from" and it should contain "objects" I wish we couls just make business objects corba objects you knwo you can add interfaces on the fly to CORBA ORBit supports it chillywilly: yes the interface repository or something it is called we will do that in some later version dynamic interfaces?

I am nto gonna oh you should get off of M$ because blah blah I have this vision of you applying for a job then trying to get them to make a move.. most companies won't listen to the new guy for another 4 months or so well I have thought of just not saying anything for a while until the time is right and even then, in some places open-source is not in the mindset causing instant rejection you have to convert them gradually :P well don't set yet self up for disappointment.. unless its a startup you'll have very little say which is why the LGPL can help in those situations yes, but it is still a compromise on freedom its usually not a license problem but a mindset and accoutability problem I know that in the real world you can't expect most companies to just switch you mean "Freedom" chilly a compromise is better than nothing IMO whatever well I don't think we would be where we are if people just up and comnpromised besides this companies product is not software so why should they care their trying to get people to buy out their catalogue shouldn't let me put it this way: you would be very hard pressed to make a dent with free software where I work because they are sooooo entrenched in the M$ crap - I'm surprised DCL has lasted this long (2.75 years) and the LGPL part of the phpgw API (when we get that going) will help ease their confused minds why do you have such a hard time with dcl when they still use their winders? can still because there are alternative tools available that run on Windows servers windows servers and cost money now that's an oxy moron that goes without saying ;-) ah so it is the typical you get what you pay for somewhat they have seen some competition that costs money and realize that most of it sucks tell them to pay you and you'll support it :P I support it anyway it is not like you can't build a case and show them the way and I've yet to do mods to it that are custom is that good or bad? good IMO caus ehtye would want them to be proprietary right? shows that DCL is flexible enough, and that I won't write custom code for them when did they start using it? Jan 99 see I think you've wona battle right there they pay you to develop it? no! heck no! argh why not? I don't want them to then it will be corrupted eh? I don't want them to think they have control over it funny thing is all the work you do you don't even get to own for them that is you mean on our proprietary software? chillywilly_ (danielb@d174.as11.nwbl0.wi.voyager.net) joined #gnuenterprise. chillywilly (danielb@d149.as1.nwbl0.wi.voyager.net) left irc: Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by chillywilly_)) Nick change: chillywilly_ -> chillywilly gah got dicsonnected mdean (mdean@arc11x49.kcnet.com) left irc: Ping timeout for mdean[arc11x49.kcnet.com] btw Mr_You why you always trying to rain on my parade?!? :P Mussi (eu@200.167.235.106) joined #gnuenterprise.
