Documentation / download sites down

Justin Ellis — 2012-05-17T21:47:27

Has anyone else had problems accessing the OL documentation and
download sites today? I have been trying to view the reference manual
since this morning, but it keeps returning a 500 error.  I also tried
to download the Laszlo source (which I believe contains the
documentation but I am not sure), and that gives me an error also.

IRC chat channel for OpenLaszlo community?

Raju Bitter — 2012-05-14T09:58:26

Maybe it's not such a good idea, since IRC might not be that popular
with some folks.

I've created an Assembla team space for the community, which has chat
and discussion functionality, wiki pages, team and file management. We
can add SVN/GIT, bug tracking and other features, if we ever need
them.
http://www.assembla.com/spaces/openlaszlo-community/start

The chat tool provides a searchable history, and can be found at this URL:
http://www.assembla.com/spaces/openlaszlo-community/chat_tool

The space name and URL can be changed at a later point in time, if we
ever decide to fork OpenLaszlo.

I've invited a number of people, if you want an invitation to become a
member, please send me an email.

Re: Problems dynamically setting an "id" attribute for a lz.DataElement

Raju Bitter — 2012-05-13T10:54:52

If you inspect the root node of the dataset, you should get something like:

«LzDataElement#0| <root/>» {
  _events: null
  attributes: {}
  childNodes: []
  nodeName: 'root'
  nodeType: 1
  ownerDocument: <theData><root/></theData>
  parentNode: <theData><root/></theData>
  sel: false
}

After adding an element, you should see something like:
«LzDataElement#0| <root><theNewTag id="id1"/></root>» {
  _events: null
  attributes: {}
  childNodes: [<theNewTag id="id1"/>]
  nodeName: 'root'
  nodeType: 1
  ownerDocument: <theData><root><theNewTag id="id1"/></root></theData>
  parentNode: <theData><root><theNewTag id="id1"/></root></theData>
  sel: false
}

Here's the code I've used for testing with 5.0:
<canvas height="800">

  <attribute name="counter" type="number" value="1" />

  <dataset name='theData'>
   <root />
  </dataset>

  <button text="Inspect root"
onclick="Debug.inspect(theData.getFirstChild())" />

  <button y="30" text="Add element">
    <handler name="onclick">
      var rootEl = theData.ge

Re: Problems dynamically setting an "id" attributefor a lz.DataElement

Justin Ellis — 2012-05-12T18:37:39

Please disregard this question.  After looking through it more
thoroughly, I found that, for some reason, even existing childNodes
with the same name and attribute name as the one I was trying to add
show up as the same kind of "objectLinkHandler" and, even though the
Debug console will not open the childNode for inspection when I click
on it, it still has all of the same functionality as the
normal-looking lz.DataElement objects.


Thanks,

Justin

Problems dynamically setting an "id" attribute for alz.DataElement

Justin Ellis — 2012-05-12T17:28:44

Hi all,

I am trying to insert a new lz.DataElement into a dataset, but I am
running into problems that it looks like are caused by a combination
of the name of an attribute in the element and the fact that the value
I am assigning to it is derived from another lz.DataElement's
attribute.  I have tried adding the new element both by creating it
and using "appendChild()", and also by using a datapointer's
"addNode()" method with arguments.

The problem appears to be the fact that my new element must have an
attribute called "id," that I am setting dynamically.  My code looks
something like this:

var ele = new lz.DataElement("newChild");
var temp = oldEle.getAttr("id");
ele.setAttr("id", temp);
root.appendChild(ele);

This code adds a childNode to my root lz.DataElement, but instead of
being a data element that looks something like '<newChild id="1"/>'
when I inspect the root node, the new node comes up as '>>"
onclick="$modules.lz.Debug.objectLinkHandler(event, 26)"><newChild
id="1"/>'  The new node does not

Bracket - an open source IDE/editor by Adobe

Raju Bitter — 2012-05-10T00:01:45

Despite the Flex/Flash mess, Adobe is working on some new open source projects:
https://github.com/adobe/brackets

This is a very early version of Brackets, a code editor for HTML, CSS
and JavaScript that's built in HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

What makes Brackets different from other web code editors?

+ Tools shouldn't get in your way. Instead of cluttering up your
coding environment with lots of panels and icons, the Quick Edit UI in
Brackets puts context-specific code and tools inline.
+ Brackets is in sync with your browser. With Live Development,
Brackets works directly with your browser to push code edits
instantly, set breakpoints, and jump back and forth between your real
source code and the browser view.
+ Do it yourself. Because Brackets is open source, and built with
HTML, CSS and JavaScript, you can help build the best code editor for
the web.

Looks like they are trying to make Flex go away even faster...

Re: [Laszlo-dev] LzView.setSource & mp3s while compiling HTML5 (openlaszlo 4.9.0)

Raju Bitter — 2012-05-04T09:11:37

If I remember correctly, the audio player example uses an invisible
OpenLaszlo SWF app for audio playback.

Technically all modern browsers support the HTML5 audio tag, which
means you could even playback MP3 or an OGG3 file. If someone one
would be willing to add HTML5 audio support to the LFC, that would be
very easy:

Re: [Laszlo-dev] LzView.setSource & mp3s while compiling HTML5 (openlaszlo 4.9.0)

Raju Bitter — 2012-05-04T09:08:03

The DHTML runtime doesn't support mp3 audio playback. Check the
development guide section on media resources:
http://www.openlaszlo.org/lps4.9/docs/developers/media-resources.html#d0e39353
"Mp3s are not natively supported by browsers, so applications that
compile to DHTML should make provisions, as described above."

If you wonder if a feature is supported, check the
LzSprite.capabilities list. For the DHTML runtime,
LzSprite.capabilities.audio should be 'false'.

To play an mp3 you should have a look at the example application:

Hi Geoff,

I wasn't talking about the mailing lists, but about the forums. Not
sure how many people are registered for the laszlo-dev mailing list at
the moment. As it looks now, you can probably soon think about
re-implementing your OpenLaszlo based solution in Flex (wait no, going
down as well), oh - how about jQuery? Wouldn't probably be very much
fun.

It happens with any list like this, it's always a far smaller
set of active participants, some light users, and a large
number of lurkers.  This list regularly validates subscribers
email for bounces, so the messages are going somewhere.

Some of us just have other jobs to work on at the moment and
maybe didn't get to the survey.

possible dataset.doRequest bug in html5 (openlaszlo4.9.0)

augusto callejas — 2012-05-01T01:42:25

hi-

i have a dataset where i call doRequest() on it.  the request is sent and received (verified in chrome's developer's javascript console, under the "network" section).
however, the "ondata" method of the dataset is not called.  this bug occurs in html5 but not swf10.

i have a second dataset that does work correctly in html5 (calling doRequest() eventually calls "ondata").  the differences between the two:

successful dataset: response header - Content-Type:text/xml;charset=UTF-8
unsuccessful dataset: response header - Content-Type:text/plain;charset=UTF-8

the unsuccessful dataset does return XML:  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><myXMLElement>...</myXMLElement>

is there a potential bug in html5 generation where if the response of a dataset.doRequest() call returns a content type that isn't "text/xml", it doesn't correctly handle it/call "ondata"?

thanks,
augusto.

This is already possible by embedding multiple applications on the same
page - see the examples/musicdhtml/ for an example. Another route is to use
the <html/> tag with the callJavascript() method. Let me know which of
these is closest to the right direction for you!

Also, if you look at the wiki page it references:
http://wiki.openlaszlo.org/SWF_in_DHTML, you'll see an Examples section.

Hopefully these can help you.

new Calendar Demo Application available

2012-04-30T10:56:30

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody is interested in our new implementation for the
Calendar UI Demo?
We've made a complete new UI from scratch. The XML the previous calendar
was using is not 100% compatible but it should be not that hard to refactor
it to make it working.
It does not have the fancy switches between week/month/day (however would
be still possible to integrate that)
but it also solves some issues of the current Calendar Demo
Incorrect clipping of events when you scroll days while event is selected.
Also it enable some more functionality like:
- Timezone aware
- Drag and Drop events inside the day,week,month view as well dragging to
other days
- adjust meeting length by dragging event bottom edge only
- popup for event details
- if there are multiple events at the same time they are ordered by
start-time + adjusted next to each other + width is changed so that you can
see all events
