I like maiden with only two complaints : the header is too tall and there's no way to logout once you login (the button should probably change). I like that the pure theme is attempting to do CSS, similar to the imagic-css theme i tried awhile back, but the BB module still doesn't show right in WinIE with an 800x600 window size. I guess if you don't have a right column it would be okay, but unfortunately most users are still on WinIE. ... .joe View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bbop=viewtopicp=3846611#3846611 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bbop=postingmode=replyp=3846611 --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

[JBoss-user] [Nukes User] - confusing Eclipse setup
Don't feel bad, you're not the only one that has been confused by how to setup a development environment for Nukes in Eclipse. I wrote most of whats on the UsingEclipse wiki because the only info i could find was scattered throughout forum postings (and most of it outdated). So what's there may not be the best, but it was better than nothin. I think that the easier we make it to get new developers setup with Nukes, the more likely we are to have more help on this project. Thanks for everyone that has tried to help out those of us not as familiar with Java and Eclipse. Your kindness will eventually be rewarded with coding help. ... .joe View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bbop=viewtopicp=3846097#3846097 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bbop=postingmode=replyp=3846097 --- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 ___ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user

hey, if you're going to ask for the world, why not just throw in WebDAV integration while you're at it? I've seen implimentations of it running on top of Tomcat, but never integrated with an existing user structure like Nukes; at least not outside of the high-end commercial sector.

[JBoss-user] [Nukes User] - Re: Another noob question re properties..
I played with localizing a test Nukes module in the recent past and was never able to get it to show me anything other than English. After some work with localization on ColdFusion i've found that it's most likely because there's no easy way to change locales in Nukes. I assumed that when you edit your account information and choose a different language that it would set your locale, but that doesn't seem to do it. Even with the JBoss site, when i change to French, everything is still in English. In the end, i've been happy with what i've been able to do in ColdFusion with localization, but not with Nukes. I think the frustration though is because i have 6 years of CF experience and barely any with Nukes/J2EE. So if you figure it out, please share what you find.

I created a theme using CSS that is a pretty good copy of the imagic theme, but using CSS rather than tables. I thought it was complete across popular browsers until i ran into the WinIE bug again - table width not cooperating with CSS margins. The difficulty in fixing that one is the positioning of the left right columns, while maintaining proper width. Of course the theme looks fine if your modules don't have wide tables in them. I don't really have a Windows box to test on so i'm not sure i'll do much more with it right now.

[JBoss-user] [Nukes User] - Re: html standards compliance
I did an entire system redesign around XHTML, CSS, and W3C Accessibility about a year and a half ago, for a ColdFusion system i run for my dayjob. It has many benefits and very few drawbacks so i would definitely reccommend it. Knowing you want to do it is the easy part, actually getting the core system and individual modules to play well together may be another matter. For evidence of this, see the fix we did to the forum text gets cut off at right bug. I'm going to create a CSS/XHTML theme and we'll see how well that goes over with everyone when I'm done. Frankly i was surprised how little CSS is used within Nukes - my guess being because the PHPNuke code started before it was compatible with most browsers. In the ColdFusion system i run, we have a function similar to themes that is accomplished simply thru separate css files. If we could create a base set of classes (or update the set we currently have) it would give module developers more basic designs to work with, and less to recreate by themselves (fonts, headers, etc etc). I guess my only question then, is how much the Nukes dev community wants to committ to CSS and/or XHTML beyond just a theme? forums? news? admin modules? Of course many of these will change their view functions with 2.0 moving to portlets, but i could help with some CSS and/or XHTML if that's the way we want to go with it. ... .joe View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bbop=viewtopicp=3840394#3840394 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bbop=postingmode=replyp=3840394 --- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings Training.

jae77 wrote : i believe julien fixed the scrolling to the right problem, but the rendering issue in IE still exists. anyone w/ html skills is more then welcome to submit patches. I'm no HTML expert, but i've been telling my designers to fix stuff like this for long enough so i know what causes it. IE is a bit buggy when it comes to mixing CSS and plain HTML. The problem is here is caused by having a table in the in forums with width=100% inside of a div tag with a margin. The imagic them pads the inner block with a margin, but when IE calculates 100%, it doesn't think about the margin. Thus the problem. So is it the module's responsibility to worry about stuff like this, or the theme's problem? Using the imagic theme and my own module with a 100% wide table causes the same issue. Thus said, there are two ways to fix it - take the div margin padding off of the theme (or switch it to an empty column for padding), or change the width of the tables in the BB module. Personally, I switched the BB module to have width=98% for all of its tables, and then reduced the margin to 2px or so (more accurate across platforms than using em). I don't know who owns the mod or the theme, but i could send updated files if anyone wants to check them in. On another note, anyone interested in a pure CSS theme? Would be much better for rendering time, accessibility, and file size than the tables we're using for layout. I'm thinking of designing one, wondered if anyone would be interested when i'm done. ... .joe View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bbop=viewtopicp=3840076#3840076 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bbop=postingmode=replyp=3840076 --- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings Training.

fyi : RedHat 8.0 / PostgreSQL 7.4.1
I downloaded a new CVS snapshot tonight and didn't get the xdoclet error when building
this time - thanks for the tip.
anonymous wrote : you can check it out from cvs using the following tag:
Nukes_1_1_0_RC1
I'm still new to CVS and was unable to figure out how to get it to only give me that
branch (that's what it would be, right?). Eclipse had trouble discovering the
branches for the nukes project under my jboss sourceforge repository setup. I'm using
Eclipse 3M8 if anyone has tips on checking out projects under particular tags (if you
do, i'll test and add it to the Extending Nukes page).
when i first built nukes i ran into an error in the nukes\build.xml file on line 274,
which looked something like this...
require file=${jboss.home}/server/${nukes.deploy.dir}/nukes/nukes/
| copy todir=${jboss.home}/server/${nukes.deploy.dir}/nukes/nukes
i figured it was one too many nukes on there so i verified against an old snapshot,
removed the extra nukes and it built fine.
i downloaded the whole snapshot but only deployed news, bb, faq, core components, and
downloads. I hadn't tried downloads before so I went for that one right away. My
thoughts and errors...
| when adding a download category, if you leave off the description, it reloads the
form but doesn't display an error.
|
| adding a download works okay, but it would be nice to have an indication of which
fields are required. Actually, this would be a good place to possible add a nukes CSS
class for required field display so that it's consistent throughout the site. Not sure
how we deal with new styles. I tend to just put a red asterik next to the field label.
|
| When i attempt to rate a download (clicking on the link below the download), i get
an error: Parent Category does not exist.
|
| i added the MostPopularDownloads block to my right column, but all of the links to
downloads are dead - looks like the wrong module in the URL (module=kingpin). Link
works okay if the module in the link is changed.
|
| although i did ./build.sh deploy-components under the nukes/nukes directory, i
didn't get a Permissions module so i was unable to change any permissions for any
other mods.
|
|
|
| those are the errors I got. News worked fine for me but i didn't get a chance to
try out the forums. that's about it for me this evening. I think i'll do a bit of work
on displaying with JSP now. good luck with more updates... .joe

Actually I'm not sure that is true. My nukes.pk-constraint is true, just as the
postgresql.properties file shows, and the faq module works fine with its pure CMP
backend. i'm not in front of my dev box right now, but i remember the way the pn_id
field was set on the nuke_faq table. It's still an integer field, but the default is
set to something like nextval('public.nuke_faq_pn_id_seq'::text) which basically takes
the next value of a sequence. A sequence is the postgresql way of doing
auto-increment. I assume that it's all handled with CMP, but i couldn't completely
figure out how to make the news module setup its tables that way.
glad to be of some service .joe

Thanks Howard (and others, of course). I took a little time off, away from Nukes anyway, to learn more Java structure while waiting for the 1.0 release to come out. My expectations of course were that it would be a little easier, but i was a little disappointed. Sorry, don't mean to offend, but it took me a few hours to go from the fairly functional snapshot from mid-February to the 20040304 snapshot. I tried the wiki instructions and installer (which really only seems to setup the database right now, was hoping it would do more). Here's what i found | i'm using postgreSQL so there was a big warning telling me that it only works with mySQL, but i'm used to taking the hard road so i did it anyway. | | the installer let me choose my old datasource but failed to drop the tables correctly, so i was forced to drop them manually | | there was an error creating some of the databases so i had to track it down to a couple of inserts that were trying to use 0 instead of false for a boolean column. | | Fixed the setup.xml's for those faulty dB inserts but had to build clean and redeploy a few times to get it setup correctly, but it did. I would commit these back to the repository but i'm a definite newb when it comes to CVS. Will need to see about something other than anonymous access. | | The deploy-components target fails because /server/default/nukes/ directory doesn't exist - the installer should probably create that one for you if it doesn't already exist - this part of the process is mentioned on the NukesDBSetup wiki but not on the installUninstallUpgrade wiki. | | Tried to deploy it as-is but choked on the dB - it thought i was using mySQL. This seemed odd because the installer knew i was choosing a pgsql dB. Of course i eventually found the line that explained how i needed to change a line in the local.properties file to reflect the dB-type. This part was awful and i'm sure will keep many people from successfully installing Nukes. I guess i didn't think the NukesDBSetup wiki applied to me because i'd already setup my dB for an older snapshot of Nukes. I'd say mention the dB-type/local.properties config on the install wiki so people get it. | | | | | So that was about it, after a few more cleaning, builds, and redeploys. It was late though so i didn't even get a chance to play with it. Guess i should stop writing this message and go see.

[JBoss-user] [Nukes User] - installation oddities
I'm just starting out with Nukes, and at first i was quite excited - but now, not so much. I thought Nukes would be a good solid CMS core to start developing my own little system on. I thought it would have good documentation and a strong developer community. My mind's not completely made up on any of these points but after installing JBoss 3.2.3 and Nukes (latest compilable) i'm a little disappointed. Take this little nugget of advice that i eventually happened upon in the Development Forums: one change that is good and simple. when you use nukes, you have to create a directory called nukes : server/default/nukes -- julien 9/10/03 thanks for letting me in on that one, but would it be so much to ask Nukes to auto-create that directory for me on first run if i didn't happen to find that info in the forums? I saw no mention of this anywhere in the build instructions, tutorial or other limited documentation I found. So i had no main page in Nukes (The file id is not indicated instead - also not to be found mentioned anywhere). In a more realistic sense I completely understand how this happens. I've been writing web apps (ColdFusion mostly) for about 5 years now and my documentation still sucks. Not so much inline comments, but everyday plain-English docs for others to catchup on when you're gone or otherwise occupied. Writing that kind of stuff is left til last because many things change before you even get to write the documentation, and because it's just not as exciting as writing features in. here's hoping i can get my head wrapped around the way Nukes works so i can start writing modules for it soon. thanks for your hard work. I really look forward to the next RC soon. If anyone would like to refer me to some more comprehensive up-to-date tutorials I'd be much obliged... .joe View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bbop=viewtopicp=3823756#3823756 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bbop=postingmode=replyp=3823756 --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

I just chalk it all up to a learning experience and move on. But most of what i've seen of Nukes I still like so I'll stick with it. Since i don't really have too much Java experience I think i might just go back to my books and get some more base knowledge in place for later. hxp wrote : I'm hoping to make some Wiki pages to explain the current way to install/uninstall/upgrade Nukes, and about some other stuff I've learned. The WIki pages would be nice because it would be easier and less formal for many people to contribute. You might also consider putting together an entire getting started tutorial like the one they put together for the JBoss AS - i went thru that one and it was very helpful in learning many things about a large product in simplistic terms, very quickly. And then hand it off to someone whose never even heard of Nukes or JBoss and see how they do with it. thanks for your input. looking forward... .joe a href=http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bbop=viewtopicp=3823948#3823948;View the original post/a a href=http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bbop=postingmode=replyp=3823948Reply to the post/a --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
