[google-appengine] Re: The queued task never executes, and see 302 in the logs, what am I doing wrong?
This is correct, great catch! The 302 is it redirecting from a http:// url to an https:// url. This is definitely a bug, would you mind filing it in the issue tracker? Please include the behavior you expect to see in the issue. On Sat, Jun 27, 2009 at 8:48 PM, gae123 wrote: > > Well this is a tip about an issue that took me a while to > troubleshoot.

[google-appengine] Re: Admin Console functionality for Task Queue API
Thanks for the issues, Colin! Indeed a number of these things are on our roadmap, but we appreciate you creating issues here and letting us know from your perspective what are the things to add. >From a high level viewpoint, the easiest things for us to add here will be the queue actions and allowing more introspection into the queues and tasks. Editing a task on the other hand will be pretty hard, our system assumes a task is basically immutable until it is done. Instead, we'd encourage you to delete the task and create a new one. Obviously the way to delete a task right now is very weak (you have to execute it), but this will improve with time.

[google-appengine] Re: TransientError while using TaskQueue
A TransientError is an unexpected but transient failure. Typically it
is a deadlined or otherwise missed connection between two backends in
our system. We distinguish TransientError from InternalError to say
that transient errors failed but were expected to succeed (and
retrying will probably work), whereas InternalError is quite
unexpected and retries will have no effect.

[google-appengine] Re: about sharded counter
You need to reach the incremental method on the db object from a
webapp.RequestHandler. From the source
http://google-app-engine-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/sharded-counters/main.py
the counter-main-class is defined as:
import generalcounter
import simplecounter
class CounterHandler(webapp.RequestHandler):
"""Handles displaying the values of the counters
and requests to increment either counter.
"""
def get(self):
template_values = {
'simpletotal': simplecounter.get_count(),
'generaltotal': generalcounter.get_count('FOO')
}
template_file = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),
'counter.html')
self.response.out.write(template.render(template_file,
template_values))
def post(self):
counter = self.request.get('counter')
if counter == 'simple':
simplecounter.increment()
else:
generalcounter.increment('FOO')
self.redirect("/")
So just make a post like the example eg. the simple counter:
And rewrite your class to your purpose by following the counter-
example. If it to any help this i the source
http://google-app-engine-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/sharded-counters/simplecounter.py
Did that make sence? :)

I just want counter to record MyModel's number,so when a new entity is

[google-appengine] TinyMCE: Minimizing File Count
So I was looking for a good way to impliment a rich text editor on a site I'm building. There are two obvious possible options: FckEdit and TinyMCE. TinyMCE is smaller and has a simpler design so I decided to work with it instead. Starting Point: 241 files, 101 folders, 1.41mb But since I only need the simple version of tinyMCE listed here: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/examples/simple.php So I used firebug's net tab to watch which files tinyMCE actually loaded after adding it to my page. I created a list of these files, and then moved them into a tiny_mce_min folder. Then I switched to using my minimal installation directory ... eliminating most of the unnecessary code quickly and easily: Ending Point: 6 files, 7 folders, 182kb The process 1) Add the full TinyMCE to your dev enviornment, update app.yaml 2) Add TinyMCE to your script ... set any options you need to get the version you want 3) View TinyMCE in FireFox with Firebug powered up and the Net tab open 4) Create a version of your TinyMCE install that includes only the files from TinyMCE that are listed in the net tab 5) Use the minimal install in your deployment rather than the full install Now I think we could go one step further and eliminate a few file loads (like the lang files) if we hacked tinyMCE js code ... and get it down to one file (or three if you count the css + images). But right now I don't have time to do that. I realize that the file limit is now bigger than it used to be (now 3000 files) ... but think that it's very constructive to go through this process. Ultimately I don't want to use 241 of my file count limit towards something that could be loaded in one js file. Much of the time we have grown used to slapping in a library but using only a very small percentage of it. I'm hoping that library developers soon begin offering "custom versions" of their code that are highly optimized for a specific task. Hope this post might be helpful for someone else who confronts the same problem/issue. Another suggestion to Google: perhaps they could host some of these commonly requested libraries by default. I don't think that any of the rich text editors (fckedit or tinymce) are available on a CDN anywhere right now. - Stephen --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.

[google-appengine] Smipple - Social Code Snippets
Hi all, I just wanted to let everyone know about a site I created for sharing code snippets in a social way. You can check it out at http://www.smipple.net/. Smipple allows you to save, organize, and share snippets with others easily. The best part though is that you can follow other people who have interesting snippets and see the snippets that users you are following in one place. You can also favorite any snippet that you find interesting so you can retrieve it easily later. Smipple is implemented using Google Appengine, Django, and appengine-patch but that shouldn't stop anyone from contributing any kind of snippets that they want. We'd love it if Ruby, PHP, Java, JavaScript or Perl developers would use the site as well! What kind of social sharing site would it be if there were only certain types of developers using it after all! Happy Coding, Ian --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
