But, as far as I can tell: VLC does not work as a firefox plugin; and
the cakephp screencasts can not be downloaded. So for me, there is no
way to watch the screencasts. BTW: you do realize that apple changed
everything last July?

It is pretty easy to get going with the extjs lib

1) unzip the whole thing including css files, images, etc. in you
webroot/js directory. I tried putting it in the vendor directories but
paths get screwed up.

2) In each of the cake templates you want to use it
echo $html->css(array(
'../js/ext-1.1/resources/css/ext-all'), '','',false);

$javascript->link(array(
'ext-1.1/adapter/ext/ext-base.js',
'ext-1.1/ext-all-debug.js'), false);

Extjs looks very impressive. It would be great if you could get that
working in cake.

I am still trying to learn qcodo, but it is becoming increasingly
frustrating. People who complain about cakephp documentation should
try qcodo - if they want something to complain about.

Qcodo is in beta, and under active development. The documentation has
fallen way behind. Very inaccurate and incomplete. Still, it's ability
to generate crud quickly, is impressive.

Inline editing has more to do with the client-side scripting than the
backend framework (of course they have to work together).

I really like the editing capabilities of the ExtJS library
http://extjs.com/deploy/ext/examples/grid/edit-grid.html

I have had little difficulty integrating it into Cake.

Well, lucky for you, VLC is also available for all recent versions of
Windows.  Also lucky for you, there's a company called Apple that
makes this operating system that actually works.

Hey take it easy Walter :-)  Surely it's not that big an issue ...

As mentioned, VLC on Linux (Fedora 7) worked easily for me.  What Linux 
distro do you use?

Quicktime issues aside I wouldn't let that deter you from using Cake.  I 
find that the documentation, articles etc are the best resource for how 
I learn (mostly by following examples).  Screencasts are nice, but for 
me they are no substitute for a well worked example.

Langdon

I can't get quicktime to work under w2k anymore either. I updated
firefox, and the plugin won't work. It took me to a page   to manually
install. So I downloaded, installed, then got a message that it would
only work in XP or Vista. So I downloaded an older version 6.5.2. That
plugin won't install either. Won't work with msie either.

F**K this. I'm sick of it. This is way *way* more trouble than it's
worth. I don't have trouble with any other format, but QT just sucks.
I've always hated QT because of the way it tries to install iTunes,
and take over every media format on my format, now I have even more
reason to hate it.

I could probably screw with it until got something to work. Maybe
install an older version of firefox, or something. But it's just not
worth it.

I couldn't get Quicktime movies to play (I develop on Fedora 7) so went 
hunting on the weekend.  As nate mentions VLC Media Player is the 
solution.

I discovered that for Fedora 7 the Livna repository has VLC available 
via yum, so it is a really easy install and hey-presto!  Quicktime just 
works.

I understand your frustration, but it is really a Linux issue rather 
than a Cake one.  I made the switch from WinXP to Linux a couple of 
months ago and am still filling in little gaps like Quicktime.

VLC is an easy solution that I would highly recommend.

Langdon

Re: Is it reasonably easy to do this sort of inline editing with CakePHP

2007-08-06 Thread nate

Yup, we're very Linux-friendly.  Everyone on the dev team deploys to
Linux (though I probably deploy more on FreeBSD myself).  But everyone
on the dev team develops on the Mac.  That's not to say that we shun
Linux-based development, but we ourselves prefer to view the world
through Aqua.  And with VLC, it's not about "installing yet another
player".  IMO, VLC is *the* media player, even on OSX.

Btw, may I remind you that the screencasts and the bandwidth on which
they're streamed come to you at no expense to you than the time it
takes to watch them.  If you'd like to transcode them and host them on
your own server, you're more than welcome to, and we'd be happy to
link to you.

Lol. Quicktime is a very standard video format and has been around for
years and can be watched by users of almost any operating system. I
had no problem with the screencasts being in quicktime. Rails
screencasts are in quicktime format, Django's are also in quicktime..
oh and wait what is this.. even Ubuntu has some screencasts available
in Quicktime format.

At best, quicktime is very difficult under linux. For me, it is not
worth the trouble of installing yet another media player just for cake
screencasts. I had no trouble viewing codeignitor, or qcodo,
screencasts with my present setup. Not that big of a deal, but I find

What the heck does that mean?  What is it about Cake that is not
"linux friendly" in your opinion?  If you're referring to the fact
that the screencast is done in Quicktime format, i believe that VLC
can view it.  I've built Cake sites using Linux (and Mac OS-X) and
have had no problems.

Anyway, the feature from Qcodo that you are talking about can be done
with Ajax and is not unique to Qcodo.  I've built sortable datagrids
using CakePHP and jQuery, which is very similar to what Qcodo has
there.

Well. That tutorial doesn't really show anything to do with the inline
editing you are asking about.
Langdon is right, it's not automated but it really isn't that hard to
do with cake, using some ajax helpers.

I've done this kind of thing, and I'd say it was one of the simpler
things to implement. Though, automation is nice,
and having automation for this kind of thing might be useful, there
are alot of harder parts that will take much more of your time.

Although certainly no "show shopper" it bugs me a bit that an open

It is not an automated process to construct this kind of thing with 
Cake, but you can certainly do it with a little bit of Ajax effort.  I 
have built similar things myself.

So short answer is yes.
