No, haven't had time yet. I'd attempt to do the HTML Interface in Python, outputting HTML/JavaScript. ...as I've read that you're using Python, and that's part of my class this spring. yes python but WDYT? back =) ra3vat: I have postgresql 7.1.3 a quick break down on forms (the display engine) ui system ra3vat: any other suggestions? InsanitY: so , you have entries in connections.conf that point to existent databases in postgres forms uses a driver to provide a ui specific interface that interface is really just a dumb window into what I call a virtual form InsanitY: try to choose some with wizard in designer so if the user presses a key, the ui driver sends back a request to the virtual form saying "interface has requested an 'a' be added to the current entry" the virtual form can ignore the request, convert it to something else, basically do whatever it wants InsanitY: on the next step it should allow you to choose from list of tables it doesnt I choose the connection put tables on YES and then pressing next it does nothing. sorry. pressing continu if it decides to honor the request then it sends the ui back an event that says "this field now contains " basically all the input validation is done outside the user interface it would be ideal if the html interface was tied into the same virtual form i realize that the individual keystrokes cannot be sent back in real time that the form would be passed back all at once treinar: still here? :-) I'm listening... The python script would obviously have to parse your XML file, ra3vat: is there a test postgresql database available so I can check if the client is functioning ok at least? and maintain the connection to the database somehow. (correct me!) Is this correct: the virtual form is described in the xml file? treinar: what I would try to do is not parse our file as there is a lot of functionality you'd end up duplicating treinar: i'd try and write a UI driver that works with the existing forms backend forms is designed to have any type of UI put in front of it we're even talking about a touch tone phone interface however the ui drivers that were working up to this point have been wx(gtk) and curses I think I get it. Anyhow (got to go), I'll look more detailed into your application design, and I'll probably ask you som more dumb questions. so they don't really test the backend to ensure that it's properly built to deal with ui drivers with different requirements ok one thing Just one last q: What about the Java Interface?? the code in cvs had a new ui system checked in 2 days ago and it isn't complete so cvs head is not fully functional and only the wx driver is sorta working treinar: ? yep ah, the old java forms dsmith (~dsmith@borg.altus.cc) joined #gnuenterprise. it's dead as far as I know How about I try to blow some life into them?

I missed some? all :) Would you consider it an overkill to use GNUe as a back end to a dynamic (database driven) web site (given that an HTML forms interface is implemented)? Is it kind of out of focus for your intentions with GNUe? i wouldn't do it with any of the existing tools however having said that i do use gnue reports with zope to generate copies of pdf invoices in real time e-commerce is one of gnue's goals isn't it? ;) i should say I'm testing it chillywilly: is it? It appears (to me, after reading your docs) as the forms designer would be well suited for designing all kinds of input forms for a dynamic web site. What about search forms (e.g. find all articles on web site related to ACME Linux (or whatever) - output in a formatted table)? (pardon any weird language - I'm Norwegian) it would work fine for data entry but none of the tools implement a content management system (like zope) so if the html ui driver was complete then you could use it for data entry reinhard (~reinhard@M699P003.adsl.highway.telekom.at) joined #gnuenterprise. in fact I hit a form today that I'd love to be able to take the .gfd and web enable it havoc: I would say so but I'd still use zope to drive my site well zope and apache :) if there was an html ui you should be able to embed in any web page I'm not to familiar with how you design forms/interact with the DBMS in Zope, but your concept of design once, display anywhere is very nice. The database view (form) could be reused for in house clients and to the public (web, Java Applet, web services). Could GNUe reports be used for outputting query results from the web (like the one mentioned above)? reports can output to the web without issue it has output filters and destinations that already can pump html output to email address, stdout, file, printer, etc So is it (or would it be) possible to combine the form and the reports, so that you could design a form that gave a result from a search? ...input: search criteria, output, nice formatted table that's something that forms really needs, imho, a nice search dialog for sql illiterate types right now you can enter an sql query yes! need nice search form/dialog! :) Action: ajmitch shuts up & goes back to his corner corner=gtk2 :) sssh how do you select a different ui driver anyhow?

Is it likely to go through major (not backwards compatible) changes before 1.0? treinar: it stayed stable (at least forwards compatable) for the last 2 years but we are undergoing some positive changes right now in CVS head to correct some shortcomings someone shoudl write some good job/career site software as most of this stuff sucks ass ;P but stability of the format is very important to us so we don't expect it to change again prior to 1.0 of course, we can't make that promise but we're fairly confident jcater: how would you so a search dialog? s/so/do/ me? I'd con jamest into doing it HEH all dialogs in forms are going to be nothing but gfd formatted input no more custom per UI driver dialog classes this is part of the crap I've started commiting this week what we'll have is forms/src/dialogs/ in that dir you have dirs/files that implement a python module what's even cooler about this is so about/__init__.py about/about.gfd say chilly can't stand something about our search dialog no prob... open that .gfd file up in designer make your changes and it can be different for your site where in __init__.py you have a buildForm() method that simply reads the gfd and returns it as a string you'll also see forms/src/dialogs/login.py which contains a buildForm() that dynamically generates the gfd string instead of reading it from a file forms will eat it's own dogfood :) Action: chillywilly contemplates mmmm dogfood chillywilly: milk of magnesia will help that cool the other thing about this you'll be able to do is setup a series of custom company wide dialogs and have them autoload on startup so all your .gfd files can just call them via triggers so how easy is it to make a search dialog? just create the gfd and use the input in a trigger that makes an sql query? you could do that we're still hammering out the exact details it wouldn't take too much to have a dialog contain a dict of hooks so that forms would pop up the dialog, then pass the output to a hook which could then manipulate forms internals however i'm not ready for that step yet :) I wouldn't recommend making an sql query per sayu s/sayu/say it'd probably create a Conditions tree to be universal same thing true dat chillywilly: but for the benefit of our KC readers I wanted to make that clear :) eventually it makes an sql query no where near the same sql querys are nice and sweet there is some seriously twisted code hiding behind a conditions tree Action: jamest goes fetal in the corner well jcater wrote it what did you expect? Action: chillywilly runs lol I remember when jamest first tried to grok that part of the code the Conditions trees used self-modifying, recursive logic it took me a minute to figure them out again :) argh! flashbacks jcater: just say NO to drugs it's a string, it's a class, no! it's a strass! lol treinar (~treinar@213.151.157.18) left irc: "Good night.

HEH chillywilly: charge for it he offered to pay but I am not going to take it The best OpenSource advocacy is charging commercial rates to fix commercial software ;) not for a god friend good I'm not going to gouge them I won't even help my own family w/ windows anymore, unless they pay, or it has to do w/ nix integration seriously hehe I can sympathize with that believe me BUT I can't be that mean Ahh.. Windoze chillywilly: I'm not being mean chillywilly: I'm being "fair" and realistic the they become dependent on me like crazymike for isatnce he was constantly bugging me about this and that havoc: I just tell 'em I don't know anything about that. now he has winders on his desktop wuss I help ppl for free w/ free software, and charge $50/hr. for help w/ commercial software ;) in 1hr incs I'd like to do that really I would but I can't for me to support commercial software directly helps those that take business away from me that's true... and I supposed I could use the same argument havoc: I actually haven't used windoze in years. (6 i think) but I just feel sorry for them ;P maybe I should show him KDE dsmith: I've even done VB development ;) yeeek I've done everything havoc: you admit that? so I'm not just ranting about windows sucking, I really *know* it sucks I agree I hate it it like banging you head into a cement wall and no one can call me a zealot since I've actively developed for both platforms that admining windows that's well I listen to the odl and wise old* and I don't ever want to learn VB chillywilly: it's nightmare I'd rather get kicked in the nads especially if you actually KNOW how to program mmmm, KMFDM - Stray Bullet hmmmm... to convert or not convert, that is the question ;) you knwo I hate M$ just for putting me in this position let [21:14] Last message repeated 1 time(s). s ;lsdk cjdlhfklj skdjfhksjdh fucking cat will die umm ok stupid thing it was trying to walk over my keyboard so tell it not to :) I did with a extreme prejudice havoc: Yeah, me too (the vb).
