You can definitely run multiple Catalyst applications (or multiple copies of the same Catalyst application) on a single server using fastcgi - I have 20 or so ShinyCMS installs on my server.

[Catalyst] ShinyCMS doesn't work with Catalyst 5.90102
Hi all, ShinyCMS fails to run with the latest release of Catalyst, 5.90102: http://paste.scsys.co.uk/501327 It works okay with the previous release, 5.90100: http://paste.scsys.co.uk/501326 I assume this is a conflict between some part of my code, and one or more of the changes in the latest Catalyst release (maybe the 'preserve state across a chain' changes), but I don't know how to dig into that. Can anybody help or advise?

It means anyone else who uses your application (and/or any other machines you install it on yourself) will also have to have the newer version of Catalyst installed. If your app doesn't need any features that are in 5.9 but not in 5.8, and you're not releasing it to the public, then it's probably not worth changing it, but it won't hurt either way. If you are releasing it to the public, changing it will cause problems for other people who are still running 5.8 on their machines. If your app does need features that are only in 5.9 and you're releasing it to the public, then of course you must change it, so anyone else installing your app knows what libraries they'll need to install/upgrade. ___ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/

Re: [Catalyst] mod_fastcgi config for a Catalyst app.
Hi Andrew, There's a sample Apache config and external fastcgi launcher command in ShinyCMS: https://github.com/denny/ShinyCMS/blob/master/docs/sample-apache-conf/httpd.conf https://github.com/denny/ShinyCMS/blob/master/bin/external-fastcgi-server Possibly having a look at those will help you figure out what to do with your own environment.

Re: [Catalyst] Memory usage with FCGI? Server running out of RAM
I run a server with 18 separate installs of ShinyCMS running, with at least 3 and sometimes 20 processes per install. 122 perl-fcgi processes in total. They look a bit bigger than most of your processes. I've got 8GB of RAM, and I'm pushing up against the edges of it a bit, but I don't usually have any problems. Hope that's useful info!

[Catalyst] London Catalyst developer opportunity
Hi all, Yesterday I interviewed for the job below. They offered me the role, but after agonising over it for 24 hours I've just turned it down, purely on the grounds of the salary - I'm too used to contracting rates, dropping back to a permanent role felt like stepping my career and my earnings back 5 years. However, I wanted to recommend the role to anyone else who's a bit less experienced and a bit less greedy :) They seemed like really nice people, the lead dev in particular seemed like he would be very easy to work with. They use Perl in-house for their main product, a Catalyst app interfaced with a bunch of other weird stuff, and now they're developing an in-house CRM from scratch, also as a Catalyst app (using TT and DBIC, with Postgres at the back end). There are two other developers including the lead, but they work on maintaining, extending and refactoring the main product - the CRM project would be the new developer's baby. There aren't many greenfield projects in Perl these days, so this was the factor that very nearly sold it to me - the chance to design something from scratch and Do It Right [tm] instead of fiddling around with 90's legacy code. ;) The company is based near Westbourne Park tube, their offices seemed okay (currently being refurbished, but not shabby to start with), and they're in a vaguely cool line of business. The flexitime lets you start anywhere between 8am and 10:30am, and they work 7 hour days. I genuinely think it's a decent opportunity for someone, so I recommend applying if you're at all interested and available. Matthew is a decent agent, he's been doing Perl recruitment for a good while now. The only thing I'd quibble slightly with in the email below is 'generous annual leave' - it's the standard 20 days plus bank holiday, plus they close between Xmas and New Year and that doesn't come out of your holiday allowance. So, bonus time off at Xmas, but otherwise not exceptional. On the other hand, not mentioned at all is their bonus/profit-share deal - but that only kicks in after the first year, and didn't pay out last year, so don't count on it.

I'm not sure that Perl developers are particularly scared of 0.x releases though... I feel it's more a lack of interest in solving those medium-sized generic problems. I have a designer pledged to build me a set of front-end templates for the demo site, which I think is one thing that's essential before I bundle up a 0.9 pre-release for people to look at. The other thing I wanted to do was finish the shop order processing stuff, but the client paying some of the development costs for that has pulled out, which has slowed things down considerably. Once I get those two things done, I'll beg and possibly even bribe a few people to look over the code and docs and maybe do some QA, and then hopefully it will be ready for a shiny 1.0 version number. :) Regards, Denny ___ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/

Short answer; don't. If you're maintaining the value for users who aren't allowed to change it, then you don't want it in your form data. Form submissions can be spoofed, so you'd have to double-check the value (or drop it) in your Perl code anyway... so you might as well just do that, and remove it entirely from the HTML (which seems to be a simpler problem?)

If you're not sure how to proceed with any of those steps, then given that you seem to be talking about building a very large-scale commercial application, and you haven't mentioned it being open source, I would suggest that you should probably hire someone who does know how to do it and pay them appropriately.

AutoCRUD is definitely maintained, and generally works very well. 'No sources defined' sounds to me like possibly your AutoCRUD config is wrong...

Re: [Catalyst] Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication set_authenticated
I'm using it in ShinyCMS, with the same concerns. Discussion in #catalyst when
I was writing that bit of the code didn't really reach a conclusion on whether
it was 'safe' to use it, but nobody had a better suggestion.

ShinyCMS[1] currently has a _very_ basic shop built-in, which uses PayPal to provide the cart, checkout, and payment handling (so basically, it's just got a simple catalogue with some PayPal hooks to do everything else). At some point I intend to add a proper cart and checkout (possibly using Handel[2]) and payment handling (possibly using the Business::OnlinePayment[3] set of modules). This intention keeps getting delayed by lack of time and lack of clients wanting to pay me to work on those particular features (any help would be much appreciated!) You might also want to take a look at Handel's sister project, Mango[4]. I can't remember why I decided not to use it myself, but it may suit your needs, or at least be educational to poke around in.

Hi Mike, As Devin has already mentioned, I've got a basic CMS up and running, and I'm still adding features at a reasonable pace (this month; forums). Take a look at www.shinycms.org and https://github.com/denny/ShinyCMS and come chat in #shinycms on irc.perl.org - more developers would be very welcome, likewise users with a developer mindset - the docs are a bit lacking but I'm very happy to answer questions! :) It would be nice to get a Perl CMS built that we can start recommending to people, at least for basic stuff, instead of having to look embarrassed and point people at Drupal, Wordpress, and other PHP solutions.

I'm about ready to shoot this project in the head :( Have you tried turning it off and then on again? ;) More seriously, I have found on multiple occasions that the Catalyst Auth stuff can seem to get itself into an inconsistent state, such that it starts behaving oddly (usually mine will successfully log in, but fail to keep track of that fact), and the only way to fix it is to delete the contents of the session store (database, in my case), delete all the cookies for the site, and possibly wipe the browser cache too. Other than that I'm not sure what to suggest. Where does the auto return to? Is it possible it's coming back from there to before the dashboard redirect, and so the redirect URL is getting overwritten before the output is constructed? (I've not used auto, so no idea if this is a stupid question or not.)

t0m wrote something on the list a while back about putting your user
details into the stash manually rather than using $c->user directly.
One of the reasons he gave was that then, if you want to override the
(perceived) user session, you can override $c->stash->{ user } instead
of having to mess with $c->user itself.
Although presumably it would make sense to hinge the admin-only
functions (such as 'switch user') off of $c->user - so that you can
still switch back when you're done :)

Denny

->forward returns you to where it was called after it does its thing.
You might want ->detach or ->go for something closer in behaviour to a
redirect.

Not sure if you're not doing it this way for a reason, but personally I
always use paths relative to the document root in my CSS - like so:

Something like this may help...
(in a theoretical MyApp/Controller/Thing.pm)
sub view : Chained( '/' ) : PathPart( 'view' ) : Args( 1 ) {
my ( $self, $c, $template ) = @_;
# [ stuff to set template variables in stash goes here ]
$c->stash->{ template } = 'template-directory/'.$template.'.tt';
}
...so http://your.app/thing/view/foo will load the foo.tt template from
in template-directory.
That said, would you mind telling us a bit more about what you're
actually trying to achieve in your application? There may be a better
or more standard way of doing it.

Of course he could write his own, but he'd rather not if there's a neatly-packaged community-managed solution already available. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/

I thought your concern was for your own deployment, not for improving Ubuntu. Yes, it would be nice if the imminent LTS release of Ubuntu had something reasonably recent and solid in it. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/

Most of that is because your app view is called HTML.pm (at a guess)
whereas the AutoCRUD one is called TT.pm (iirc). You need to add
'default_view HTML' to your app's .conf file to stop those warnings.
Not sure about the exception though, I don't recall having that problem.

People is the correct plural of person. Apparently Catalyst uses
something fairly clever to generate the plurals for relationship names.

[Catalyst] Fwd: Catalyst development project - promo release application for a record label
Just received this and I thought it might interest some people on here. I'm not involved, please contact the author of the original email if you're interested. Forwarded Message From: Damon Allen Davison To: j...@london.pm.org Subject: [Jobs] Catalyst development project - promo release application for a record label Date: Sat, 20 Feb 2010 10:38:07 + Hello All, Southern is looking for someone to help develop a standalone Catalyst application that will allow us to share digital promotional releases with our customers and the press. The application should have the following features, unless you'd like to take a stab at convincing me that any of them are stupid: Core features: - Download code-based. The release is distributed by the user entering a code into a form. - Secure. We have a working prototype using standard Apache authentication modules. - CMS integration via REST. - File uploader. We need to upload the promos. - Code generator. We need to generate/export codes for the promos. There are a number of other features I'd like to discuss with the developer. I've also got a functional specification I can show you, if you're interested in taking on the project. We need this finished and deployed in six weeks. I'd like this to be done in modern Perl with full documentation so I can maintain it and add to it in future. Ideally, I would also like to meet with you, so this gives local (London) developers a slight advantage. This is still a telecommute job, though. We will have to agree on a development price once we've had a chance to discuss the specification. Required Skills Catalyst Moose DBIC Apache MySQL RESTful services Desired skills: Drupal "Services" module Contact: Damon Southern Records Telephone +44 20 8949 (M-F) techj...@southern.com No recruiters, no agencies.

Not Catalyst specific, but I've used ckeditor* in the past - it's a drop-in replacement for with a load of configuration options. Bear in mind the obvious security risks of letting people input HTML and then injecting it directly into your site - at a bare minimum you want to strip out javascript stuff, including onclick etc. * used to be called fckeditor, seems to have changed recently. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/

Someone was nice enough to answer this question for me when I posed it on the #tt channel on irc.perl.org earlier today, so it would be rude of me not to pass on the answer: = wrapper.tt = [% IF template.custom_wrapper; PROCESS $template.custom_wrapper; ELSIF no_wrapper || template.no_wrapper; content; ELSE; PROCESS 'default_wrapper.tt'; END %] = a_template.tt = [% META custom_wrapper = 'alt_wrapper.tt'; META title = 'Alt Layout'; -%] Add default and alt wrapper templates to flavour :) Hope that makes sense!

Didn't we have this discussion a few months ago, with zero result? Specifically, J. Shirley almost always does this (bottom posting after quoting entire message _with list sigs too_), and gave some other people a hard time for pointing out that it's actually really unhelpful, in reply to him pointing out quite stridently that he doesn't like top-posting. Apparently as long as you post at the bottom it doesn't matter if it's easy to read your reply or not. Digging through archives, that discussion seems to start around 1pm on 27 April 2009 (GMT/UTC), although the top posting discussion started prior to that.
