Cool, thanks for all your help here. It's been quite a bit to digest,
and I finally got around to revisiting this problem today.
So I'm not sure why my initial attempts to return a <lift:embed> from
the render method failed, but today that seems to work. Need to see if
Firefox is doing anything odd with caching, because I seem to have lots
of odd problems of this sort. In the meantime, I'll poke at things with
Curl before claiming that they don't work.
I'm trying to create a cleaner design based on returning lift:embed, but
I'm still having problems, even after Curl. :) Here's what I have thus far.
My status.html:
<lift:surround with="default" at="content">
<h2>Imports</h2>
<lift:comet type="ImportMonitor"/>
</lift:surround>
templateshidden/importing.html, returned by comet render:
<table>
<tr>
<th>Name</th><th>Complete</th><th>Total</th><th>Status</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><import:name/></td>
</tr>
</table>
And part of my ImportMonitor code:
class ImportMonitor extends CometActor {
...
def render = {
if(importsCount == 0)
<p>No imports are currently in progress.</p>
else {
bind("import", <lift:embed what="importing"/>,
"name" -> "Name"
)
}
}
...
}
I've tried a variety of things at that bind call. What it ultimately
does is returns my template as is, including the
<import:name></import:name>. I also tried eager_eval="true" on the embed
element, but with no luck.
Thoughts on what I'm missing? I feel like binding keeps tripping me up.
I understand the concept, in essence, but it seems like this should work
to me and I don't see why it isn't.
Thanks for being such a newbie-friendly community.
