Re: Updating Website Content by Users - Slightly O.T

[newtonp...@gmail.com]

My 2-cents - and these are just my opinions as an engineer so please
no flaming :)

1) I like both WordPress and Drupal
2) I am a Drupal advocate, however, in the following cases (including
my own consulting work):

a) if you need to lots of custom things
b) if you are fluent in php and are reasonably savvy in HTML and CSS
c) if your requirements go beyond those of blogs and simpler web apps

Again, no reason for people to take issue since these are just my
personal views.

See: http://drupal.org/

But note that there are many more WordPress sites - there are reasons
for this, mostly having to do (IMHO) with ease-of-use for less
technical people.  Again, just my opinion.

In many ways, Drupal's raison d 'etre is the use of modules (and there
many thousands) for doing all kinds of things.  WordPress does this,
too, but in my experience is more difficult to customize.

Both provide:

1) abstraction layer mysql (so no need to deal directly with DB - this
means that you never deal directly with mysql but use Drupal functions
(in the rare case that you need to).
2) have many layers of security, optimization and solid backend
infrastructure

Note that Drupal 7 is a huge step forward in this space.

Finally, I use Drupal for even for simplest sites - even those that
have no DB requirements.  Security and ease-of-mounting and so on.

Many hosting service offer "one-click" installs of either CMS (AN
Hosting is one).

I know several non-tech people that have mounted very credible sites
(some with advanced stuff like e-commerce) by the one-click method.

PM me is you want to know more - happy to provide guidance and advice.

You're looking for a content management system, or CMS.  There's lots
out there.  I've used Drupal extensively and it's both easy and
powerful.  Joomla is another one I've used, more "publishing" oriented
if you will.  Then if you're looking blogish: wordpress has both
hosted and software options.

Your question is frankly too vauge to really give a good answer.  "it
depends" is the best anyone with any honesty and experience could give
you from what you ask.  Sometimes educating yourself a bit so you can
figure out what your needs are and what the right questions to ask in
your situation is the best plan.

Have them modify only shtml ssh include files.

Without going the full database route... Well there are many approaches.

Without a database I might have page sections loaded from XML or csv.
You can use php to read, parse, and rewite the file with an admin
section but then you run into security issues etc

It's a big open ended question that could take a long time to answer
and there is no assessment of you skills as a known variable.

Updating Website Content by Users - Slightly O.T

I would very much appreciate any thoughts I could get from this

I want a small handful of involved users to be able to update

Hey Warren,

It appears that you want to 'get' rather than 
'select' the first line of the selection.


Ummm..., once I've gotten it, where is it if I don't set something equal to it?



 How does one set a variable to the first line 
of the selected text of the front-most BBEdit 
document window?



It's easy once you figure out which object to 
reference which is not always straightforward in 
Applescript.  :)


 tell application "BBEdit"
   try
 tell text of front text window
   set my_line to line 1 of selection
 end tell


Seems strange telling something to the text. Very Object Oriented.



   on error errMsg number errNum
 set sep to "=="
 set e to sep & return & "Error: " & errMsg & return & sep & return ¬
   & "Error Number: " & errNum & return & sep
 beep
 display dialog e
   end try
 end tell

The new best practice with BBEdit is to 
reference the 'text of the front text window'.


Note that the code above will only provide a 
reference to the line object and not the 
contents thereof.


Noted.



 tell application "BBEdit"
   tell text of front text window
 set my_line to contents of line 1 of selection
   end tell
 end tell

Or as a one-liner:

 tell application "BBEdit" to set my_line to 
contents of line 1 of selection of text of front 
text window


That's what I changed to from:

tell application "BBEdit"
activate -- not taking any chances...
select text window 1
set the_text to the selection
set my_line to line 1 of the_text as text
end tell



HTH.


It does.

Excellent. Using JD's nifty creation of a temporary filter file, I 
now use AS to get the selection, count the table columns, ask which 
one to delete then build the RegEx based on the column count and 
desired column to be deleted. This gets written to temp.pl in the 
Unix filters directory and called to effect the column deletion.


As always, it was an interesting learning experience. Thanks to those

Hey Rich,

It's been mentioned that you're using the wrong syntax there to reference a 
file 'as alias'.

Note that BBEdit will deal with a posix path without conversion to a posix file 
or alias:

--
 set posixFileRef to "/Users/chris/test_directory/test.txt"
 
 tell application "BBEdit"
   open posixFileRef
 end tell
--

In the Finder I run this script with FastScripts using 'Control-P' to put 
alias-formatted references of the selected items on the clipboard:

--
#   Author: ccs
#  Created: 12-29-2010 : 18:48:00
# Modified: 01-05-2011 : 02:15:00
#  Application: Finder
#  Purpose: Copy Alias reference of selected items to the Clipboard.
# Dependencies: none
--
tell application "Finder"
  try
set sel to selection as alias list
if length of sel > 0 then
  set beginning of sel to ""
  set end of sel to ""
  set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"\"" & return & "alias " & 
"\""}
  set sel to sel as string
  set sel to paragraphs 2 thru -2 of sel
  set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
  set sel to sel as string
  set the clipboard to sel
end if
  on error errMsg number errNum
beep
display dialog "Error: " & errMsg & return & "Error Number: " & errNum
  end try
end tell
--

I find that automating this task leads to fewer mistakes and "Doh!' moments.  :)

Here's a similar script for Posix paths:

--
#   Author: ccs
#  Created: 2010-10-06 : 06:43
# Modified: 2011-06-22 : 17:00
#  Application: Finder

# Dependencies: none
--
tell application "Finder"
  try
if (count of windows) > 0 then
  set sel to selection as alias list
  if length of sel > 0 then
repeat with ndx in sel
  set ndx's contents to "\"" & (POSIX path of ndx) & "\""
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to linefeed
set sel to sel as string
set the clipboard to sel
  end if
end if
  on error errMsg number errNum

display dialog "Error: " & errMsg & return & "Error Number: " & errNum

Your script doesn't read any input.  :)

#!/usr/bin/perl -p
s/(^)(.*?<\/td>)(.*?<\/td>)(.*?<\/td>)(<\/tr>)/$1$3$4<\/tr>/;


Or, if you want to be more verbose:

#!/usr/bin/perl
while (<>) {
  s/(^)(.*?<\/td>)(.*?<\/td>)(.*?<\/td>)(<\/tr>)/$1$3$4<\/tr>/;
  print;
}


Note that in Perl you should use $1 rather than \1 in the replacement part
of a substitution.


By the way, you can use a character other than / as the delimiter, to avoid
escaping:

#!/usr/bin/perl -p
s{(^)(.*?)(.*?)(.*?)()}{$1$3$4};

Should work; what was the exact text of your script? (and, did you replace

Yes; in that case you should write the path in traditional AppleScript
fashion and use 'alias', like this:

set myF to alias "Hard Drive:Users:pwoolsey:Desktop:foo.txt"
...

Hey Warren,

It's easy once you figure out which object to reference which is not always

   & "Error Number: " & errNum & return & sep

   end try
 end tell

The new best practice with BBEdit is to reference the 'text of the front text 
window'.

Note that the code above will only provide a reference to the line object and 
not the contents thereof.

 tell application "BBEdit"
   tell text of front text window
 set my_line to contents of line 1 of selection
   end tell
 end tell

Or as a one-liner:

 tell application "BBEdit" to set my_line to contents of line 1 of selection of 
text of front text window

Scope out:

 tell application "BBEdit"
   tell text of front text window
 properties of selection
   end tell
 end tell

If you *had* wanted to *select* the line:

 tell application "BBEdit"
   tell text of front text window
 select first line of selection
   end tell
 end tell

HTH.

Re: AppleScript Open File in BBEdit 9.6

[BeeRich]

Actually, while we are on topic, how do I select a text factory for the open 
file?  

As an option, I'm trying to use AppleScript syntax for a single replace and 
save.  This is what I have for the replace, and she's not compiling:

replace "\x0B" using "\r" searching in selection of text window 1 options 
{search mode:literal, starting at top:true, wrap around:false, backwards:false, 
case sensitive:false, match words:false, extend selection:false}

Any ideas?  That is a gremlin inserted by our lovely FileMaker.  

Cheers

But then I can't initiate it from FileMaker.  That's the whole point of this.

need FMP to launch that TF, but only after the file has been opened.

Glen,

In all my scripts that open files, I use this structure instead:
open {file "infernal:private:etc:apache2:httpd.conf"}

Which is what AppleScript emits if you record BBEdit opening a file.

AppleScript Open File in BBEdit 9.6

Hi folks.

For the life of me I can't find a way of opening a file in a
subdirectory in my webserver directory.


set myF to file "/Library/WebServer/Documents/alpha/bravo/items.lasso"

tell application "BBEdit 9.6"
open myF as alias
end tell

It says can't get the file.  I know it's there.  I've tried how to
change the syntax on the open and I just can't get it.  Any ideas?

Glad to hear it!

I use this to switch syntax coloring between my programming language,
HTML and javascript, all with a keyboard shortcut in BBEdit to fire
off the AppleScript.

Not "paragraph 1." Line 1. Took a long time to trial-and-error that over here.

First Line of Selection?

[Warren Michelsen]

This ought to be very easy. I have html documents containing tables. No colspan 
or rowspan properties are used so each table row has the same number of columns.

The documents are formatted such that each table row is one line in the 
document; the line starts with " and ends with " so that a complete 
row can be selected by selecting a complete line.

Now then, I seem to be having a problem using AS to select the first line of a 
document's selection.  I've tried all kinds of things up to:

set my_line to paragraph 1 of the selection of text document 1 of text 
window 1

I keep getting the error: "An attempt was made to resolve an Apple Event 
reference to a non-existent object."

How does one set a variable to the first line of the selected text of the 
front-most BBEdit document window?

All I want to do is get the characters of that first line and count the

That's odd.  What programme did you use to create the script?


Script Editor Version 2.2.1 (100.1) AppleScript 2.0.1 under OS X 10.5.8.

I didn't have this problem with AppleScript Editor but I can 
imagine Smile or Script Debugger might do this.  In that case you 
need to force Unix line endings, like this:


The Good News is that the script (apparently) had Unix line endings, 
as it ran.


OK, I get it. It just changes the typed digit. Concocting the script 
to find/replace is for me to do!

The Bad News is that it replaced every "1" digit within the selected 
table data with "<1>" rather than deleted a table column.

Re: php syntax coloring inside of html tag

[ryentzer]

My apologies Steve, it does indeed work correctly. My syntax coloring was 
throwing me off a bit.
As an aside, I tried this same situation in several other editors and many 
of them incorrectly colored the code as well. Only two of the ones I tried 
got it correct. But BBEdit gets so many other things right. 

Thanks, Rick
