| 1701 | Robert | Yes, it's an ARI tool. Very nice and simple to use. | 29-Dec-09 8:45 |
| 1700 | Mchean | Balsamiq Mockups Robert ? | 28-Dec-09 20:42 |
| 1699 | Robert | Not tested yet but that's the right idea. | 28-Dec-09 20:27 |
| 1698 | Robert | I use Balsamico for my mock-ups. I like the tool a lot. And it can convert mock-ups to code via emitters. | 28-Dec-09 20:27 |
| 1697 | Geomol | Many of the problems arise, because designers/developers/programmers try to make html do, what it wasn't supposed to do in the first place. When making a movie, one might start out by drawing a storyboard. Later in the process, a camera is used to shoot some film, and in the end a story is told, that may or may not be close to the original storyboard. But it works, because the final output (images within a frame) is the same kind of thoughts that goes into creating the storyboard (images within a frame). Designers think in the line of the final output, but html isn't wysiwyg, and the html technology might not be well suited for the ideas, the designer has. So problems arise. ... Or something. ;-) | 28-Dec-09 16:50 |
| 1696 | Pekr | Xara pretends to be such a tool, but otoh I did not found, how to easily adjust using code ..... http://www.xara.com/eu/products/webdesigner/features/ | 28-Dec-09 12:18 |
| 1695 | Reichart | Isn't the WHOLE thing simply insane? After all these years, there is not a tool that allows both programmers and artists to work on the SAME data? All strange... | 28-Dec-09 12:12 |
| 1694 | Henrik | I've once worked with this process of first having a designer building mockups in photoshop, then they were moved to Dreamweaver and I had to "graft" javascript on top of it, and whenever the designer made a change, I had to start from scratch. The customer demanded to see the site in full function. We moved so slowly, the project was dropped after a few months. Another time, I finished the project, but it took so long to do, because the design was nearly impossible to convert to HTML/JS. That was 5 years ago. And people are just realizing this now? | 28-Dec-09 10:51 |
| 1693 | Pekr | my friend works the opposite way - design proposals are done in Photoshop, then he cuts it into the markup .... (sometimes wondering it "feels" differently to what he originally did in Photoshop :-) | 28-Dec-09 10:40 |
| 1692 | Henrik | I don't get it... I've always built websites like that. Using a paint program to do it is just impossible. :-) | 28-Dec-09 10:23 |
| 1691 | Pekr | Interesting pov onto website creation - http://24ways.org/2009/make-your-mockup-in-markup | 28-Dec-09 9:45 |
| 1690 | Robert | On OSX you can use like every other library. Fully available via objective-c interface. | 19-Oct-09 9:55 |
| 1689 | Maxim | (webkit is the engine powering chrome and safari, if you wonder) | 18-Oct-09 23:05 |
| 1688 | Maxim | Any one looked at webkit, code-wise? I mean, using, has used, tried to use it, participating in it, anything. http://webkit.org/ | 18-Oct-09 22:37 |
| 1687 | Pekr | few different pixels here or there never mind :-) | 20-Sep-09 22:22 |
| 1686 | Maxim | welll all browsers render stuff differently, chrome FF and safari included. | 20-Sep-09 22:21 |
| 1685 | Henrik | Curiously I find you have to ask that quite often. Still so many IE users around. | 20-Sep-09 22:05 |
| 1684 | Dockimbel | There's also a page at 37signals.com advocating for web-based software : http://37signals.com/webbased One of the advantage listed is : "You’ll never have to ask “Is it compatible?”"...good joke:-) | 20-Sep-09 21:55 |
| 1683 | Oldes | I use mix of tables and CSS for layouts:) I don't remember exact cases now, but I had problems to do some layouts with just CSS (working not just in one browser). | 20-Sep-09 21:50 |
| 1682 | Maxim | the web is a good distibution system... its just about all it really does pefectly... and that's the only thing it was designed to do. I don't agree that web programming itself is easier, unless you really are doing easy apps. IMHO Rich clients are the best of both worlds combined into one seamless experience | 20-Sep-09 21:12 |
| 1681 | Will | http://www.kalzumeus.com/2009/09/05/desktop-aps-versus-web-apps/ | 20-Sep-09 20:59 |
| 1680 | Pekr | I'll go with table free design for layout. I talked to few ppl and most don't use table for layout anymore ... | 19-Jul-09 9:08 |
| 1679 | Janko | basically tables don't presend the "information structure" of the site well, that is why they don't degrade well, cause problems to screen readers.. etc | 18-Jul-09 22:20 |
| 1678 | Janko | I use tables to presend data that belongs into tables and where it makes sense. I didn't use tables for general layout in a long time. I am not any purist but I find other ways much better than tables for this. It can make quite messy code and they don't degrade well to smaller screens.. etc.. | 18-Jul-09 22:19 |
| 1677 | Chris | I'd possibly consider myself a CSS 'purist' - I like that it encourages a language oriented approach to page/site design (not a language of Rebol's calibre, indeed, but a nod in that direction : ) The trade off can be in the complexity in implementing layout, but really there are few patterns that have not been mapped out. | 18-Jul-09 20:17 |
| 1676 | Chris | Depends to what degree you use html to define visual aspects. The comparison above is talking old school page design where your markup contains all the bgcolors, widths, font colours, etc. (FrontPage-esque) Typically this approach does significantly increase page size. Using tables mainly as an alternative to <div> as a way to divide up page components in an otherwise CSS driven design isn't going to be at all costly in comparison. Actual bandwidth cost I guess is case specific. | 18-Jul-09 20:09 |
| 1675 | Henrik | sorry: "But it's ridiculous to assume that CSS/DIVs are the main bandwidth hogs for webpages.", should be: "But it's ridiculous to assume that tables are more of a bandwidth hog than CSS/DIVs for webpages." | 12-Jul-09 20:41 |
| 1674 | Henrik | Of all these points, perhaps accessability is the only valid reason for not using tables. If you know how to use CSS and DIVs to produce table-like results, fine. But it's ridiculous to assume that CSS/DIVs are the main bandwidth hogs for webpages. Sorry, not buying that. | 12-Jul-09 20:39 |
| 1673 | Pekr | thanks .... | 12-Jul-09 19:49 |
| 1672 | Sunanda | There have been close to holy wars between the CSS purists and those who use tables for everything. The best position is one that balances the needs and priorities of your website and development team's aptitudes. Here'ssome arguments for as few tables as possible for layout purposes (it's taken for granted that tables are good for tabular data): http://www.chromaticsites.com/blog/13-reasons-why-css-is-superior-to-tables-in-website-design/ | 12-Jul-09 19:46 |
| 1671 | Pekr | thanks. I can see e.g. big portals like our local http://www.idnes.cz using almost plain CSS. I noticed it on my cell phone, when FUP applied. The html is one long page, which then gets distributed around the site upon the CSS, once it is loaded .... | 12-Jul-09 19:34 |
| 1670 | Brock | Agreed with Henrik. If you aren't expecting the site to be on mulitple end-user hardware platforms and not expecting drastic user customizable styles, I don't see the need to avoid tables for the layout. CSS just for the fine-tuning. | 12-Jul-09 19:30 |
| 1669 | Henrik | I don't know what it is about doing table-free designs, but I personally think it's damn hard to do. You have some parameters that you can adjust for CSS that are cryptic and difficult to guess how the layout will be. With a table, you have cells, adjustment, width and many predictable elements. I think it's because CSS is underpowered for what it's meant to do, and the ability to separate design from content (desktop vs. phones) is a tad overrated, if it just makes site design and construction that much harder. | 12-Jul-09 19:06 |
| 1668 | Pekr | One question towards webdesign aproach. I need to red one site. I want to make it based upon CSS of course. Now I can see, that some sites use completly table-free design, simply one long html, where CSS takes care of the final placement. OTOH some other sites do use tables at least for some basic page division (columns, sections). Which aproach do you suggest? What will in the long turn make my life easier, e.g. if change is needed? To adapt CSS, or to add cell to table, adding some column plus CSS? | 12-Jul-09 18:24 |
| 1667 | Chris | No, QM has it's own separate RSP implementation. | 25-May-09 17:54 |
| 1666 | Robert | I'm trying to find out what's the "best practice" process for forms is. But after a bit of research I think it's: Do it by hand. Forms are not very complicated. All the generators, tools etc. are quite limited when it comes how to process a form. I use MooTools as AJAK lib and it has some very nice validator things. | 25-May-09 17:36 |
| 1665 | Robert | Is QM integrated into RSP pages? I think I need to take a closer look (and hope I will get it). | 25-May-09 17:35 |
| 1664 | Chris | With QM, I use QuickTags (integrated into RSP or standalone) to build the form elements, and then wrap common constructs in functions.for data-driven forms. It's not as pure as say, Henrik's HTML dialect, but perhaps has the flexibility of being at markup level. http://www.ross-gill.com/page/QuickTags Alternatively I have a make-doc dialect (somewhat rough) that I use for forms on my site wiki. http://2008.rebolconf.info/on/!Edit_Form?format=raw | 25-May-09 16:56 |
| 1663 | Robert | And, is there a REBOL version for something like PHPMailer? | 25-May-09 11:39 |
| 1662 | Robert | Forms: How do you make forms for web-pages? Do you use any "tools" or just hand-code them? | 25-May-09 11:35 |
| 1661 | Maxim | thanks for the link... so no svg on my new site... darn. | 25-May-09 9:00 |
| 1660 | Sunanda | This says no -- but 3party support is possible: http://wiki.svg.org/Internet_Explorer | 25-May-09 8:52 |
| 1659 | Maxim | is IE7 svg capable? | 25-May-09 8:47 |
| 1658 | PeterWood | Thanks, Doc. I look into that. | 25-May-09 8:15 |
| 1657 | Dockimbel | Then, you can try with HTTP chunked encoding (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunked_transfer_encoding), it's the classic way to stream HTML to the browser. Having the page displayed while downloading chunks is browser specific. It's implemented in Cheyenne's HTTPd, but reading that wikipedia page makes me wonder if it still works with the new automatic HTTP compression introduced in 0.9.19 (haven't done regression tests for that case). | 25-May-09 6:19 |
| 1656 | Maxim | the client reply port anyways. | 24-May-09 23:20 |
| 1655 | Maxim | I've had this same problem before implementing custom-purpose web apps. http being connection based, i think most clients expect the connection to be closed. | 24-May-09 23:19 |
| 1654 | PeterWood | I'm now not sure if flushing the html to the borwser is necessry. I tried with a simple test. Firefox displayed the page immediately but the connection to the server was kept open. Safari didn't display the page unitl the connection to the server was closed. I dug a lttle deeper into Apache Docs and it seems that Apache doesn't buffer simple html output. It seems that the "problem" is getting the browser to display the html before the connection to the server is closed. | 24-May-09 23:12 |
| 1653 | PeterWood | Thanks for the tip Doc; I'll try it and report back. | 24-May-09 7:45 |
| 1652 | Dockimbel | Not tested, but might work for flushing CGI data : close system/ports/output | 24-May-09 7:43 |
| 1651 | PeterWood | Sadly, even if you call a shell script that runs the rebol process :-( | 23-May-09 23:43 |
| 1650 | Sunanda | I tried to find such a "flush" mechanism for REBOL.org (running Apache under a generic GNU/Linux OS). It would have been very useful (still would be).......But I never found anything that worked. | 23-May-09 21:09 |
| 1649 | Graham | And if you called a shell script that ran the rebol process? | 23-May-09 21:04 |
| 1648 | PeterWood | It would be much cleaner for me to be able to flush the output back to the browser and then do my housekeeping. | 23-May-09 12:37 |
| 1647 | PeterWood | Graham: I could spawn another process but have had problems with both using 'call to launch a second Rebol process on Mac OS X; any console output from the spawned Rebol session is sent to the browser in addition to the output it should receive from the cgi process. | 23-May-09 12:36 |
| 1646 | Oldes | (but now when I see it here, it's not enough as the á char is not converted to utf8) | 23-May-09 9:43 |
| 1645 | Oldes | probe HTMLentities/decode "Základní informace " | 23-May-09 9:41 |
| 1644 | Oldes | You can use my script http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rebol/htmlentities_latest.r to convert it into UTF8 | 23-May-09 9:41 |
| 1643 | Oldes | Pekr, it looks you are not alone: http://www.google.cz/search?hl=cs&q=iacute&spell=1 | 23-May-09 9:39 |
| 1642 | Graham | shouldn't you just spawn another process to do the work and then return? | 23-May-09 8:14 |
| 1641 | Graham | that would be a good trick | 23-May-09 8:13 |
| 1640 | PeterWood | Has anybody wriitten a "flush" function that sends data back to the browser before the CGI script has finished running? | 23-May-09 8:03 |
| 1639 | Pekr | btw - browser displays (escapes) it correctly. But our REBOL tool just parses it, and puts it into fields, so I need to decode it back ... | 12-May-09 10:27 |
| 1638 | Pekr | I have small tag editing tool for one portal, but something has changed. Few of subsites now are full of iaccute strings. I wonder when and how it happened, if during hand editing of some html files, but is there any easy way of how to decode it back to Czech codepage? I just checked, and all files have correct headers specifying charset=windows-1250. Or could it be some internal header problem? (BOM, Unicode related?) | 12-May-09 10:26 |
| 1637 | PeterWood | I went with sitelutions.com. So far so good. (My needs are probably much simpler than yours, Gregg). | 23-Apr-09 5:21 |
| 1636 | PeterWood | Thanks Robert & Gregg. | 23-Apr-09 5:20 |
| 1635 | Gregg | I've used directnic for a long time. No problems that I can recall, but my needs have been very simple. | 22-Apr-09 21:13 |
| 1634 | Robert | joker.com | 17-Apr-09 7:23 |
| 1633 | PeterWood | Thanks Janko & TomBon | 16-Apr-09 14:18 |
| 1632 | TomBon | sitelutions.com, configure everything via web interface, cheap. since many years never had a problem. | 16-Apr-09 13:41 |
| 1631 | Janko | I use the ones where I have the hosting, don't use godaddy , I sometimes go check domains at register.com | 16-Apr-09 12:45 |
| 1630 | PeterWood | Any recommendations for a domain registration service? | 16-Apr-09 12:24 |
| 1629 | Kaj | Yep | 13-Feb-09 19:53 |
| 1628 | Pekr | amacleod - isn't there /etc/hosts file? Maybe you could put it there? Generally, I use DNS based technique, pointing particular name to the particular IP. Even more interesting situation is, when you want to redirect public server IP to the internal IP on local network :-) | 12-Feb-09 1:20 |
| 1627 | amacleod | Oldes, That worked on my windows box. Thanks alot! Anyone know how that works on a linux box? | 12-Feb-09 1:07 |
| 1626 | amacleod | I was going to use a linux server...I' may switch back to windows though.. | 11-Feb-09 23:48 |
| 1625 | amacleod | I'm using dyndns as I have a dynamic ip. If i type my url into the browser from a macine outside my local network I get my web page. If I do it from within my local network (even on a different machine) I can't not get through to the page "Cannot display webpage" error. It's not just http. I'm accessing a mysql server too with the same problem resulting. I know I can use "localhost but I would need to change my code everytime I'm using it locally. | 11-Feb-09 23:46 |
| 1624 | Oldes | If you are on windows, check c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file | 11-Feb-09 23:08 |
| 1623 | Janko | do you have a domain name assigned to your computer? if it is then you can access it as anybody else ... I am not sure I understand ... if you have a virtual host set and you want to test if it works (and are on windos) you can add www.yourdomain.com to hosts file in winnt/system32/drivers | 11-Feb-09 22:53 |
| 1622 | Brock | this is a guess, http://domainName/virtualFolderPath | 11-Feb-09 22:37 |
| 1621 | amacleod | hhtp =http | 11-Feb-09 22:08 |
| 1620 | amacleod | In case its not clear...I'm running the hhtp server on the same machine that i want ot view the site with. | 11-Feb-09 22:08 |
| 1619 | amacleod | Anyone know how to view a website you are are self hosting. I know you can view it using localhost but I want to use the url. I remember reading somewhere that it was possible but I can not find it now. Something about the DNS... | 11-Feb-09 22:07 |
| 1618 | sqlab | Nor did i read it. But I think I remember something like that. | 25-Jan-09 18:03 |
| 1617 | ? | Only book I had on REBOL was the Official Guide Book and they used my review for rebolpress.com back in the day. | 25-Jan-09 17:55 |
| 1616 | ? | I don't know as I never read it. | 25-Jan-09 17:52 |
| 1615 | sqlab | From the dark ages long gone; did not Ralph Roberts a shopping system in Rebol for his book Rebol for Dummies ? | 25-Jan-09 17:51 |
| 1614 | ? | Some other packaged coupled with oscommerce do the others you listed. There is no reason that REBOL can't do the same. | 25-Jan-09 17:31 |
| 1613 | ? | The last two are pretty much what Oscommerce does now. | 25-Jan-09 17:31 |
| 1612 | Robert | Layout: Use what you like. Item presentation: Dead simple integration into existing pages. No frills, simple to change. Shopping Cart: Provides simple API that can be called via CGI Payment Forwarding: Plug-Ins where to route the payment process | 25-Jan-09 17:28 |
| 1611 | Robert | Ok, thanks for all this input. I will think about this a bit and see where to go. For me an online-shop system has to be made of independent modules. | 25-Jan-09 17:26 |
| 1610 | Robert | ;-) | 25-Jan-09 17:25 |
| 1609 | ? | Now, I'm a lot smarter ;-) | 25-Jan-09 16:40 |
| 1608 | ? | I made the mistake of enabling my entire inventory on Shopzilla once. Needless to say I had a LOT of traffic to mysite. I had a lot of order but I had my competative pricing on and ended up losing money in advertising costs because of it. | 25-Jan-09 16:39 |
| 1607 | ? | I used Authorized.net as my payment gateway. That was the plus side as Authorized.net is excellent. | 25-Jan-09 16:37 |
| 1606 | ? | I used an oscommerce customer package that I payed for from a service which populated my distributers content. they didn't support all my distributors which left me doing a lot of work. | 25-Jan-09 16:36 |
| 1605 | ? | I had 14,000+ items on sale and couldn't put another 6000 plus that I wanted to put online. And of the ones I did have online, I didn't have my best distributers content and pricing. | 25-Jan-09 16:35 |
| 1604 | ? | Well that was my main problem. I didn't like the layouts they presented either. In fact this is one reason why I got out of the business. It was costing me to much manual efforts to do the updating and I didn't have the time. | 25-Jan-09 16:34 |
| 1603 | Robert | Yes, I know oscommerce (or xtcommerce which is IIRC a fork). I use Rapidweaver for Web-Pages so I would like to integrate all this. The problem I have is, that all these shop system push you to use their layout engine etc. There is none I know, that just does the non-gui backend part. | 25-Jan-09 16:32 |
| 1602 | ? | Robert, if you just going to forward your items to another check-out-system then I thing that is something rather simply to implement via REBOL and CGI. It is when you want to use REBOL to handle the check-out system also with the interface to the payment gateway system is where I think many people had reservations about using a REBOL solution. | 25-Jan-09 16:31 |
| 1601 | ? | I do have experience using oscommerce and it worked very well but again not a REBOL solution but is at least an open source solution. | 25-Jan-09 16:25 |
| 1600 | ? | Robert I don't know of any and ask this same question long ago which is why I came up with the idea of Rcommerce which would be a REBOL based solution similiar to oscommerce. Many here were vocal about it not being something that anyone would trust so I let it the idea die. | 25-Jan-09 16:24 |
| 1599 | Robert | Has anyone written a web-shopping cart system using Rebol? So a simple CGI api to add/remove stuff to a shopping cart? Felxible enough so that it can be integrated with existing web-pages and shopping cart content can be forward to different check-out system? | 25-Jan-09 16:14 |
| 1598 | Robert | I now use Piwik. Free and Ok. | 25-Jan-09 16:13 |
| 1597 | Pekr | We have basic Google tools, but we were suggested ClickTracks (now LyrisHQ). Other product might be NetMonitor ... any experience here? | 20-Jan-09 13:56 |
| 1596 | Pekr | Dunno if this group is appropriate, but we don't have marketing related one. Does anyone use some advanced web access analytics to improve SEO? | 20-Jan-09 13:55 |
| 1595 | amacleod | Thanks Peter, I'll give those suggestions a try.. | 19-Jan-09 5:28 |
| 1594 | PeterWood | The Script Alias I use for Magic! is ScriptAlias /magic/cgi-bin/ "/Users/peter/Sites/magic/cgi-bin/" | 19-Jan-09 4:05 |
| 1593 | PeterWood | Alan From your posting on the Rebol-France BB, it looks as though the formattng of your AddHandler declarations in your httpd.conf file are not correct. I use these: AddHandler cgi-script .cgi AddHandler cgi-script .r #Following entry added to enable Magic! AddHandler magic .rhtml Action magic /magic/cgi-bin/magic.cgi | 19-Jan-09 4:04 |
| 1592 | eFishAnt | ...meant RGBA = 255.255.0.0 | 18-Jan-09 14:01 |
| 1591 | eFishAnt | Perhaps that is a secret code. what's the tuple for lemon-juice? RGBA = 255.255.00 ? | 18-Jan-09 13:59 |
| 1590 | Chris | {color: lemon-juice;} | 17-Jan-09 2:00 |
| 1589 | eFishAnt | Chris, you could set your color settings to white on white... | 16-Jan-09 16:13 |
| 1588 | Chris | I've gone to lengths to make the source as transparent as possible (even if my commenting sucks). | 16-Jan-09 1:19 |
| 1587 | Chris | am: I'd encourage exploration of QM's source. Most of the code covers mezzanines that address typical WebApp problems. The philosophy is to 'Think REBOL'. | 16-Jan-09 1:18 |
| 1586 | Chris | Even if you chuck the View and Model parts, my Controller whips plain CGI : ) | 16-Jan-09 1:05 |
| 1585 | Chris | I usually test new features starting there. That's where the flow is and you can do everything within the Controller context. | 16-Jan-09 1:00 |
| 1584 | Chris | You can with QM, should you wish, only use the Controller. My (evolving) advice would be to learn QM by only using the Controller. | 16-Jan-09 0:57 |
| 1583 | amacleod | I would like to see more examples of how this works. I kind of get why its nice to seperate tasks on a large scale site but is there still an advantage for a small self built/maintained site. | 15-Jan-09 21:37 |
| 1582 | Robert | Best MVC example: OSX. The thing is not the separation all speak about (Model = Date, View = GUI, Control = App logic) but how to get it to work together. And this is (normally) done by passing messages between these three. Like you click a button and a "loadrecord" message is sent to the Data part. IIRC the nice thing is, that more than one "function, object, ..." can react on such a message. | 15-Jan-09 17:17 |
| 1581 | Kaj | QM´s Controllers read and write data from Models and plug it into View templates, so there you have it | 15-Jan-09 16:52 |
| 1580 | Pekr | .... but - I do rather primitive things. So maybe later with more advanced stuff, I might finally "get it" | 15-Jan-09 16:48 |
| 1579 | Pekr | It is not about me not thinking about those issues, it is about finding "the ideal one". So far I like Gabriele's Temple for e.g. | 15-Jan-09 16:48 |
| 1578 | Pekr | I work with driving comments sections, which tell what kind of handler should parse/maintain sections, but without being destructive to existing design. | 15-Jan-09 16:47 |
| 1577 | Pekr | I am always thinking from such perspective! My simple tagging system completly separates presentation from scripts. In such regards, concept like rebol server pages is something I can't absolutly agree with. So if QM uses RSP, then where is the separation? | 15-Jan-09 16:46 |
| 1576 | Kaj | Would you write 20.000 similar web pages for a web store, or would you write one template and store the properties of the goods in a database, for example? | 15-Jan-09 16:38 |
| 1575 | Kaj | Once you start thinking from the perspectives of very different people having to maintain very different aspects of systems, it makes perfect sense; and coincidentally also explains many of the problems with existing systems through lack of separation of concerns | 15-Jan-09 16:35 |
| 1574 | Kaj | Basically always when someone thinks this separation is too complicated, he is thinking from his own perspective assuming he would have to maintain the whole site and hop between tasks | 15-Jan-09 16:34 |
| 1573 | Kaj | Yes, but Active Record is just an implementation of the Model and can be swapped out for something else | 15-Jan-09 16:29 |
| 1572 | Kaj | I do agree it takes time to figure out MVC, and I think the terms are too much inspired by a technological point of view. It´s really about separating the concerns of the usual stakeholders working on websites, or applications in general: the programmer/database designer, the consultant designing the business logic, the graphics/UI designer and the secretary maintaining the content | 15-Jan-09 16:29 |
| 1571 | Pekr | Not mixing - those relate. Does not have QM as a framework an Active record like data organisation? | 15-Jan-09 16:28 |
| 1570 | Kaj | You´re mixing up MVC and Active Record, and I vaguely remember discussing this before | 15-Jan-09 16:25 |
| 1569 | Pekr | If there is some full example implementation of some site for e.g., I could give it a try ... last time I tried was some year ago or so ... | 15-Jan-09 16:16 |
| 1568 | Pekr | I have to say, that I don't get that MVC concept at all. It seems to me, like some academic head came with that model some time back, while reality might be elsewhere. Do you really desing your apps, that its fits MVC model? E.g. that famous Ruby and other DB "automatic" schemas which are supposed be so cool have to be rudiculous to someone who actually knows SQL. Soon after you start reading docs you find out, that when you get to more complicated DB schema, they only provide you with excuses that you can't have everything. Sometimes frameworks work against you :-) Not that I would not understand their advantages otoh, hence I am asking, if QM is really so usefull? The thing is, that I tried to give it a try several times, and I did not know what to do actually, but maybe I am extremely stupid for such stuff, and am only able to work with plain cgi/fcgi ... | 15-Jan-09 16:15 |
| 1567 | Kaj | Magic! could theoretically be an easier way to start, learning even less HTML, but if you can´t get through its configuration, you might as well start with QM | 15-Jan-09 15:49 |
| 1566 | Kaj | With QM you can basically build any website, without having to reinvent the wheel on the lower level web server technology, while with Magic you would quickly run into the walls of the provided functionality | 15-Jan-09 15:48 |
| 1565 | Kaj | Chris will correct me if I´m wrong, but I think that´s basically the point. :-) QM is a generic framework implementing a Model/View/Controller architecture that leaves you free to plug in parts for each, whereas Magic! offers a basic set of rigid REBOL web widgets | 15-Jan-09 15:46 |
| 1564 | Chris | Yes. | 15-Jan-09 4:54 |
| 1563 | amacleod | I've looked at QM but I did not get it. I did not understand what it did. Magic seems to provide some basic gui elements that seemed like a quick way to build a website. I'll have another look at QM though. QM runs on Cheyenne? | 15-Jan-09 2:44 |
| 1562 | Kaj | Did you consider QuarterMaster instead? I used to want to go with Magic!, but QM is a much more modern design | 14-Jan-09 16:33 |
| 1561 | amacleod | I'll try those suggestions. It's a bit more methodical than what I was doing... Thanks, Dide. | 14-Jan-09 16:14 |
| 1560 | DideC | <html><head>Test Magic</head> <body> Magic fonctionne t'il ?<P/> <REBOL> print [ "<b>Oui il fonctionne !</b><BR>Date et heure du serveur : <i>" now </i> <P/> "Configuration actuelle :<BR>" "m-library-path : " m-library-path <BR> "m-session-path : " m-sessions-path <BR> "curdir : " curdir <BR> "home : " system/options/home <BR> ] </REBOL> </body> </html> | 14-Jan-09 11:56 |
| 1559 | DideC | Then I have a file test.rhtml (handler for .rhtml must be configured in the webserver) with this content to test magic : | 14-Jan-09 11:56 |
| 1558 | DideC | Then, when this script runs well, put the same sheeband at the beginning of the magic.cgi file. | 14-Jan-09 11:35 |
| 1557 | DideC | #!/usr/bin/rebol -cs
rebol [] print "Content-type: text/html^/" print { <<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD><TITLE>Rebol CGI test page</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY>} print ["Server date time is:" now] print {</BODY></HTML>} | 14-Jan-09 11:34 |
| 1556 | DideC | Did you manage to make rebol cgi works?
I mean, is the webserver able to run .cgi script with rebol?
Rebol/core need to be installed on the server, chmoded and you must have put the right sheeband at the beginning of the .cgi script. A simple .cgi script like this one is a good test : | 14-Jan-09 11:34 |
| 1555 | amacleod | Thanks, I've tried about 4 times over the last few years and keep giving up. The config files keep screwing me. tried under XP, 98, using WAMP and under Ubuntu... | 14-Jan-09 5:01 |
| 1554 | Steeve | you can ask on french BBS (even in english) http://www.digicamsoft.com/cgi-bin/rebelBB.cgi Several users use Magic | 14-Jan-09 4:26 |
| 1553 | amacleod | Also, Is there any advantage to it over RSP? | 14-Jan-09 4:18 |
| 1552 | amacleod | Anyone have experience using Oliverier Auverlot's Magic! I have tried several times to get it up and running but never got there... | 14-Jan-09 4:17 |

| 1548 | eFishAnt | Youzer...re-installing Opera 9.63 fixed the problem. Now it works perfectly. My guess is that the sitecheck2.opera.com was revalidated by the new install process, so the site allowed a connection. Dunno, just a guess. A couple days of trying to fix my code went into that unsure lesson. | 13-Jan-09 17:39 |
| 1547 | eFishAnt | The message about tables in here at 31-Jan-2005 2:42:06 AM wrecks the AltME tables when it sends its output the the Web Browser. I have seen this before. (press the Print icon in AltME and look at this message group in the browser, table lines are missing) | 13-Jan-09 12:36 |
| 1546 | eFishAnt | ...and at a qualitative level, I think this might be used as a referer...Opera does this from the Home Page button. I don't get it from other browsers. | 13-Jan-09 12:06 |
| 1545 | eFishAnt | I asked a broad question because I didn't know what answer I need ... ;-) Specifically, this comes out of Opera and when I parse it to HTTP, I don't know if I should make a Request of: Host: sitecheck2.opera.com Path: / Target: ?host=www.rebol.net&hdn=SDbXzuPvK4tsiGnHOia5dA== or some other way, like perhaps Path: none ? and Target: /?host=www.rebol.net&hdn=SDbXzuPvK4tsiGnHOia5dA== | 13-Jan-09 12:02 |
| 1544 | PeterWood | Though I'm not sure: >> to string! debase/base "SDbXzuPvK4tsiGnHOia5dA==" 64 == "H6????+?l?i?:&?t" | 13-Jan-09 2:43 |
| 1543 | PeterWood | The == looks like padding on encoded data to me. | 13-Jan-09 2:38 |
| 1542 | Maxim | is it the last "==" which is confusing? or the encoded data? | 12-Jan-09 23:31 |
| 1541 | Reichart | Steve, could you be a little more specific. There are a lot ways to parse your parse question :) For example, are you asking what the "?" and the "&" mean in the URL? Or am I taking too literal? | 12-Jan-09 22:26 |
| 1540 | eFishAnt | Anyone know what the proper way to parse this style of URL is? Opera spits it out. http://sitecheck2.opera.com/?host=www.rebol.net&hdn=SDbXzuPvK4tsiGnHOia5dA== | 12-Jan-09 22:15 |
| 1539 | Anton | Yes, that makes sense. I think HTTP/1.0 servers are likely to not bother sending Accept-Ranges (thus it remains #[none]), while HTTP/1.1 servers are likely to send it (thus set to either "none" or "bytes"). | 12-Jan-09 15:14 |
| 1538 | Gabriele | #[none] means that the header was not there. if it's there, then it's going to be a string. | 12-Jan-09 8:44 |
| 1537 | Anton | Only two hosts returned #[none]: www.ted.com events.ccc.de and the rest returned strings of lengths, eg: "4279194". I should test more urls to feel more certain. (Or read http specs... hmm.. which gives better results ?) | 11-Jan-09 13:41 |

| 1531 | Sunanda | Google Analytics requires you to add a few lines of Javascript to every page that you want GA to track. That limits the GA stats to user-agents that execute javascript. | 8-Aug-08 9:43 |
| 1530 | Robert | Tomc, AWStats is what I currently try to setup. | 8-Aug-08 7:12 |
| 1529 | Robert | Yeksoon, yes, web traffic. I heard about Googly Analytics but thought you need to add special stuff. Isn't this the case? | 8-Aug-08 7:12 |
| 1528 | Robert | Will, thx, never heard about this one. | 8-Aug-08 7:11 |
| 1527 | Tomc | but it also has it's shortfalls. one of my coworkers was experimenting with a timing plugin this spring | 7-Aug-08 16:42 |

| 1519 | Chris | Their replacement appears to be an Ajax widget. I'm not sure how well that would integrate... | 27-May-08 14:17 |
| 1518 | Sunanda | There was a Google search API (using SOAP), but they withdrew it. This page may lead to alternatives: http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/clientlibs.html | 27-May-08 14:02 |
| 1517 | Chris | For customisation, Yahoo have better Apis. | 27-May-08 13:51 |
| 1516 | Chris | I think you are looking for the API. | 27-May-08 13:06 |
| 1515 | Pekr | My friend who is building some basic websites was asked by his client for the search facility. So far he used Google and its: site:your-domain.com feature, but the client would like the output to be customised. So here goes the questions: - does google licence allow customising such output? E.g. wrapping it in another color, etc., so that it would look like the rest of the client site? - is it easily technically possible, to parse the result? I mean - I can imagine parsing the output, even page paginator, then generating custom output. But maybe there is some other solution for that? Maybe some google api? | 27-May-08 11:31 |

| 1503 | Brock | I don't think the method Doc provided will work for dynamically generated pages. For dynamic content you will need to use something like checksum http://www.rebol.com However, you will need to maintain a list of the last time a page was checked. | 2-May-08 22:29 |
| 1502 | Brock | Robert, are the pages you are accessing static, dynamic or a combination of the two? | 2-May-08 22:25 |

| 1479 | Will | Thank you Gregg 8) | 22-Apr-08 12:43 |
| 1478 | Gregg | It's up on REBOL.org, and I sent it to Doug Crockford as well. | 21-Apr-08 1:39 |
| 1477 | Gregg | Sorry for the delay in getting the JSON script updated Will. There were some other changes in the spec that I decided to clean up, so it passes all their tests, except one. Test #18 checks the depth limit on arrays. I guess they can't be deeper than 19 levels. Our REBOL version doesn't enforce that. | 21-Apr-08 1:38 |
| 1476 | Reichart | LOL...yeah... | 18-Apr-08 2:43 |
| 1475 | Pekr | Web apps are becoming sophisticated. We are about to introduce WCMS in our company, probably basing it upon SharePoint Server. But I can see that also many open-source systems exist, as Joomla, Drupal, Xoop, WordPress, etc., and here's how you can customise your google site - http://www.google.com/ig - you simply choose portlets and you can shift thema around .... | 17-Apr-08 8:32 |
| 1474 | Tomc | I perfer my rebol not look like regex | 16-Apr-08 19:29 |
| 1473 | Gregg | It just makes paths look so horrible. :-) Does anyone else here care? | 16-Apr-08 1:01 |
| 1472 | Will | Gregg, thanks for digging this deeply, I would suggest just adding it, no refinements, at the end it is a transport not meant to be human readable (unicode escapes aren't more readable ;) so no need to think if refinement is needed case by case. | 15-Apr-08 22:40 |
| 1471 | Reichart | Gab, : ) | 15-Apr-08 17:37 |
| 1470 | Gregg | Will, Here is the answer from Douglas Crockford: "It is optional. It is allowed for the case where JSON is embedded in HTML SCRIPT, where "</" is not allowed, but "<\/" is. There are no comments in JSON." So, on the parsing side, we should look for it, but on the generation side, \/ is really ugly if we generate it everywhere. If we don't generate it, you're stuck if you need it, so we probably need a refinement. Either that, or just accept the ugliness. I'm not sure if I want to remove comment support either. Just a gut feeling they may come back. | 15-Apr-08 14:00 |
| 1469 | Gabriele | reichart, "fighting" is not the right word... i'd say, it's just me continuously whining about thing not being this way :) | 15-Apr-08 8:51 |

| 1465 | Will | Thank you! | 15-Apr-08 0:56 |
| 1464 | Gregg | I'll get it updated shortly. | 15-Apr-08 0:56 |
| 1463 | Will | would be nice if you can take control and update on rebol.org to prevent others headaces 8) | 15-Apr-08 0:47 |
| 1462 | Gregg | That is, JSON no longer supports comments. | 15-Apr-08 0:47 |
| 1461 | Gregg | Yeah, I see the solidus in the spec, though I wonder how it was overlooked before. It looks like they've also done away with comments in the spec. Is that so? | 15-Apr-08 0:46 |

| 1454 | Gregg | Should > be in the list of escaped chars? It doesn't look like it from the spec. I'll have to check my notes to see if that was added for a specific reason. | 14-Apr-08 16:44 |
| 1453 | Gregg | Do you have a test case for the change? | 14-Apr-08 16:34 |
| 1452 | Gregg | Will, I'll updated my JSON copy script here with your changes, but Romano hasn't been around in a long time, AFAIK, so someone (I guess maybe you or me) should get joint ownership of the script on REBOL.org to update it. | 14-Apr-08 16:32 |
| 1451 | Gabriele | if we don't expect to emulate View 100%, but rather we do a Web VID, i think this can definitely be done in JS, with the server only to access data. | 14-Apr-08 9:06 |
| 1450 | Gabriele | Brian, no, Qtask hasn't, and that's what i've always been fighitng with Reichart about :) | 14-Apr-08 9:03 |
| 1449 | Will | livequery, how cool 8) http://www.learningjquery.com/2008/03/working-with-events-part-1 | 13-Apr-08 17:18 |
| 1448 | Will | If we are going to use a JS framework, I insist in using jQuery, the core is really mature,fast and stable, it has the syntax that more resemble the way we think in rebol. http://docs.jquery.com/Main_Page | 13-Apr-08 17:12 |
| 1447 | Dockimbel | Doing the VID2( or 3) interfacing is the easiest part ;-) | 13-Apr-08 17:02 |
| 1446 | Pekr | then Gabriele is good target to consider, he might have some ideas, as he knows best what VID3 is going to be about. Imo we should skip VID2 ... | 13-Apr-08 17:00 |
| 1445 | Dockimbel | So yes, to make the browser another potential "target" for View apps. | 13-Apr-08 16:58 |
| 1444 | Dockimbel | The goal would be to use VID/REBOL to build web applications without typing any HTML or JS. | 13-Apr-08 16:57 |
| 1443 | Pekr | but what is the idea? to have one rebol view app with VID or browser UI? | 13-Apr-08 16:54 |
| 1442 | Dockimbel | So maybe the solution would be to handle those events that need fast response like typing text in a field, or mouse-over gfx effects, on the client-side and send others to the server. | 13-Apr-08 16:53 |
| 1441 | Dockimbel | View-like engine in JS : that looks very doable, but I'm afraid the result might be too slow. I've worked some time with a rendering engine built in JS, and it was just a little slower than native UI, but not very scalable (performances dropping rapidly with a growing number of "faces"). It was BackBase : http://www.backbase.com. | 13-Apr-08 16:45 |
| 1440 | Dockimbel | Brian: true, network latency might be a show-stopper for such kind of apps over the internet. | 13-Apr-08 16:39 |
| 1439 | BrianH | JavaScript doesn't have access to Cairo directly in any browser. JavaScript is not anywhere near as fast as Java yet. | 13-Apr-08 16:28 |
| 1438 | Pekr | IIRC, when Cyphre did some game for Java enabled cell phone, he created small engine emulating faces | 13-Apr-08 16:26 |
| 1437 | BrianH | With the DOM for regular UI elements, and Canvas for Draw once it is implemented more widely. The browser is a little weak right now, but that is improving, finally. | 13-Apr-08 16:26 |
| 1436 | Pekr | but I think that view-like engine could be built | 13-Apr-08 16:25 |
| 1435 | Pekr | but it is the possibility. Brian - I am not sure Sun's desktop was slow because of communication with server - dragging of stuff around the screen was slow. So I just wonder, if JS generated UI can be as fast as View (which is still not optimised) | 13-Apr-08 16:25 |
| 1434 | Pekr | yes, with Cairo crap instead of AGG, right? :-) | 13-Apr-08 16:24 |
| 1433 | BrianH | On the other hand, you could build a View-like rendering engine in JavaScript itself. | 13-Apr-08 16:23 |
| 1432 | BrianH | It's not JS that would be the slowdown - it's the network connection to the server. | 13-Apr-08 16:22 |
| 1431 | BrianH | Keyboard and mouse events happen too quickly, and people expect them to be handled quickly. | 13-Apr-08 16:21 |
| 1430 | Pekr | as for JS, I am not sure it is fast enough. I saw Sun's JS based desktop, and it was joke compared to even VID 1 alpha speed probably :-) | 13-Apr-08 16:20 |
| 1429 | BrianH | Wait, no. That approach would fall over when you run into network latency issues. It would work great on a LAN, but not over the internet. | 13-Apr-08 16:20 |
| 1428 | Pekr | Doc - maybe you could communicate it with Gabriele. IIRc VID3 is flexible to generate various outputs. Look model is separated, but it would be better to ask Gabriele. | 13-Apr-08 16:19 |
| 1427 | BrianH | Qtask has, I think. | 13-Apr-08 16:18 |
| 1426 | Dockimbel | Did anyone already tried such approach ? | 13-Apr-08 16:07 |
| 1425 | Dockimbel | The events system would be splitted in two parts : 1) A small part in JS on client-side catching keyboards and mouse-events and sending them asynchronously to the server. 2) A server-side part emulating the View event propagation engine through the face objects hierarchy. | 13-Apr-08 16:05 |
| 1424 | Dockimbel | There's an approach that I'd like to experiment regarding web UI generation. The idea would be to consider the web page as a View target and build a View-like rendering engine able to process face objets and renders them as HTML. So it would be possible to generate HTML UI with VID directly. The DIV tag would be a good candidate to emulate a View face. | 13-Apr-08 16:02 |
| 1423 | Will | would be nice if the maintainer could update the rebol.org version 8) | 13-Apr-08 11:36 |

| 1421 | PeterWood | Is anybody successfully running Rebol CGI scripts with Apache on an Intel Mac? | 11-Mar-08 1:43 |
| 1420 | Anton | (But hmm... maybe I wanted the base tag for something... I'll have to check.) | 4-Mar-08 12:00 |
| 1419 | Anton | Aha ! Tracked it down. In my frame I had a BASE tag. This caused the javascript error: Error: document.getElementById("navList") has no properties Source File: javascript:alert('width: ' + document.getElementById('navList').offsetWidth); <html> <head> <base target="_top" /> </head> <body> <ul id="navList" > <li>Hello</li> </ul> <a href="javascript:alert('width: ' + document.getElementById('navList').offsetWidth);">navList width</a> </body> </html> | 4-Mar-08 1:56 |
| 1418 | Anton | Not so simple... it doesn't work in a frame for some reason. | 4-Mar-08 1:32 |
| 1417 | Anton | Seems simple, in retrospect. | 4-Mar-08 1:23 |
| 1416 | Anton | Hooray! found the answer <a href="javascript:alert('width: ' + document.getElementById('navList').offsetWidth);">navList width</a> | 4-Mar-08 1:22 |
| 1415 | Anton | Here's another question that I wish I didn't have to ask.
This doesn't work. I can't find how to reference navList even though it's in the same page.
What is the way to reference navList correctly ? <html> <body> <ul id="navList" > <li>Hello</li> </ul> <a href="javascript:alert('width: ' + navList.name);">navList width</a> </body> </html> | 3-Mar-08 17:01 |
| 1414 | Anton | Thanks, WIll. A very nice suggestion. I will wait until my optimism/web-technology faith returns :) | 13-Jan-08 13:33 |
| 1413 | Will | load the jquery library into your site and make your life much easier, it makes manipulating DOM a kid game 8) http://jquery.com maybe look also for the accordion or tree plugin for your menu | 11-Jan-08 12:07 |
| 1412 | Anton | Yes, I know it's better to avoid frames, but the site is already using frames, I am just modifying the navigation (or so I think). | 10-Jan-08 14:44 |
| 1411 | Oldes | use DIVs instead of frames | 10-Jan-08 11:06 |
| 1410 | Anton | what a heap of crap | 10-Jan-08 9:33 |
| 1409 | Anton | omg - I am starting to think it can't actually be done. http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread91710.html | 10-Jan-08 9:31 |
| 1408 | Anton | Frustration: The DOM inspector says the frame has a property "contentDocument" but I can't seem to get at it. | 10-Jan-08 9:04 |
| 1407 | Anton | I found that appendChild(elem) should do the move. But still difficulty navigating the DOM tree to get to the right place where it can be inserted. eg. top.frame2.appendChild(elem) is not working. | 10-Jan-08 7:46 |
| 1406 | Anton | By the way, I didn't play much with the DOM until recently. | 10-Jan-08 5:01 |
| 1405 | Anton | Any DOM experts here ? I have a frameset with two frames, and in the first frame there is a menu implemented with <ul>. I am wondering if I can move the <ul> menu out of the frame into the top level document. (The frame exists only for the menu, so I should be able to size it to zero so that it does not obscure the top-level doc.) This would mean I could keep the website frameset-oriented without doing the work of converting it to single pages. And frames allow pure HTML to include code efficiently. I found document.body.removeChild(elem), but I get lost when I try to identify the new location and createElement. Can anybody help with that ? | 10-Jan-08 5:00 |
| 1404 | Chris | Hmm, I thought that the author format was supposed to be "Author <email>" but appears to be "email (Author)" -- did this change at some point? (have to say, prefer Atom myself...) | 19-Nov-07 16:34 |
| 1403 | Chris | Author should be ["author" email] -- this is due to the email requirement in the RSS specs (you can nix it easily in emit-rss code). | 19-Nov-07 16:16 |
| 1402 | DanielSz | But new-blog.r (Carl's blog srirpt ) requires emit-rss.r, relegating the previous one to oblivion. Talking about "archebology "... | 9-Nov-07 20:43 |
