I’ll cc the general ZPUGDC list and the Laszlo and Archetypes
as I know there were others that wanted to attend, but couldn’t. Quick status: Jim already posted some details of items to
get done, but let me slice it from what we accomplished standpoint. -
We developed a means of adding in
_javascript_ events to various widgets so that more linking can be done between say
an event that occurs on a widget and the helper_js file. This could be used to
define a _javascript_ validation routine as well as something else (like an -
We discovered Laszlo can not simply
take in an LZX file at runtime, but that it expects to precompile these; as a
result, we created an XML schema that could pass content and structure information
to Laszlo from Plone. This has a general use of being more effective than the
standard marshaller services in that you can discover the structure of an Archetypes
if that has any use. This can be directed to a file as well as made through the
lzx_edit http call. Lzx_edit currently will redirect you to the lzx_view upon
success, but we haven’t defined lzx_view yet. -
We created a simpler parser that
creates a simple default layout of Laszlo widgets to take the AT-based XML and
render a set of suitable Laszlo widgets; there are still some widgets to do
here and further testing to be done. This can be overridden as well, but
allows some default decisions to be made. -
We actually used a class that was
developed using ArchenXML, so we know basically that a class developed starting
with UML can actually render a default set of widgets within Laszlo. We will be packaging our software up – once the
_javascript_ events stuff is finished with testing and packaged, it will be a
final add-on product to Archetypes 1.4.1; it would be nice if the Archetypes community
reviews this for consideration for general usage as it allows an easy way to
add these events to Archetypes; we also hope our code will assist in improving
other people’s widgets as well. The remaining code will be packaged up appropriately and
will be considered a pre-alpha release. The AT-based XML should prove
generally useful. We are examining various ways to make this hosted as a
virtual environment so that we can keep the momentum going. If anyone would like to contact me directly to join in,
please let me know. Thanks to the variety of Plone consultant
companies/individuals, Amtrak, and Laszlo Systems for their contributed time! Cheers! Paul Paul M. Boos, PMP NIPO Program Manager SAIC: From Science to Solutions Office: 703-419-5065 On-Site: 703-601-9831 (no voicemail) eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Navy eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |
