Has anyone ever rendered a WAComponent to a string for use in an HTML
formatted email? Ramon Leon http://onsmalltalk.com _______________________________________________ Seaside mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |

I've rendered components to feed our PDF generator, sounds like it would
be similar to just get the HTML back. You'll need to add a bit of context yourself, as this is ripped straight out of the system, see last line there in #renderPDF that would be the string you need. Component>>asPDF: contact ^WACurrentSession use: (self createPDFSession: contact) during: [self renderPDF]. Component>>createPDFSession: contact ^(PDFSession new) setParent: MyAppRoot application; attachContact: contact; yourself. Component>>renderPDF | handler response | handler := WARenderHandler root: (PDFRoot for: self). response := WAResponse new. handler context: ((WARenderingContext new) session: self session; actionUrl: WAUrl new; yourself). handler processRendering: response. ^response contents contents.

Hi Boris,
can you tell which pdf generation tool are you using? I'm not sure about understanding right the contact part in "Component>>asPDF: contact" cheers, Sebastian Sastre > -----Mensaje original----- > De: [hidden email] > [mailto:[hidden email]] En nombre > de Boris Popov > Enviado el: Jueves, 09 de Agosto de 2007 15:49 > Para: Seaside - general discussion > Asunto: RE: [Seaside] WAComponent and HTML Emails? > > I've rendered components to feed our PDF generator, sounds > like it would be similar to just get the HTML back.

1. Google for PDFReactor, I really enjoy the degree to which the documents can be customized and its rendering engine with support for SVG creates great results. _______________________________________________ Seaside mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |

What about something like this added to WAComponent to allow printString and asString on any WAComponent? WARenderHandler>>context: aContext context := aContext WAComponent>>printOn: aStream "setup a fake rendering context and response so I can render myself to a stream for asString and printString" | response handler | handler := WARenderHandler root: self. response := WAResponse new. "had to create set accessor for context" handler context: (WARenderingContext new session: WACurrentSession value; actionUrl: WAUrl new; yourself). handler processRendering: response. aStream nextPutAll: response contents contents Lukas, Phillip, any objection to me committing this? It would become really easy to get the rendered html for any component, so you could do things like this... SomePage>>renderContentOn: html html anchor callback:[self emailPage: self printString]; text: 'email me this page'. SomePage>>emailMe: aPageHtml SeasidePlatformSupport deliverMailFrom: '[hidden email]' to: #('[hidden email]' ) text: (String streamContents: [:stream | stream nextPutAll: 'Subject: The Page You Requested'; cr; nextPutAll: 'Content-type:text/html'; cr; nextPutAll: aPageHtml]) The real reason I want it, is to do something like this... [self someThingThatBlowsUp] on:Error do:[:error | self emailPage: (WAWalkback exception: error) displayString] So I can get Seaside's nice walk back page emailed to me for unexpected errors that happen in production.

I think we really need to have this. Will allow to react sonner and with more accuracy (friendly with our agendas).

We have this functionality already in several places: Comet: one time RSRSS: 4 times Seaside Tests: 2 times In most of these cases it it's more general and allows you to render any kind of renderable object, in most cases a render block. So I'd prefer something like one or two convenience methods in WARenderCanvas that can used to render a full html page or the body content only.

It introduces the somewhat unfortunatetly named WAHtmlBuilder (I'm open for better suggestions). This already helped to reduce duplication in tests and could further reduce duplaction in Coment and RSRSS2. htmlString would look somehting like this: htmlString ^WAHtmlCanvas builder fullDocument: true; rootBlock: [ :root | self updateRoot: root ]; render: self > SomePage>>renderContentOn: html > html anchor > callback:[self emailPage: self printString]; > text: 'email me this page'. > > SomePage>>emailMe: aPageHtml > SeasidePlatformSupport > deliverMailFrom: '[hidden email]' > to: #('[hidden email]' ) > text: (String streamContents: [:stream | > stream nextPutAll: 'Subject: The Page You Requested'; > cr; nextPutAll: 'Content-type:text/html'; > cr; nextPutAll: aPageHtml]) > > The real reason I want it, is to do something like this... > > [self someThingThatBlowsUp] > on:Error do:[:error | > self emailPage: (WAWalkback exception: error) displayString] > > So I can get Seaside's nice walk back page emailed to me for unexpected > errors that happen in production. Wouldn't you want something more customed that includes the full stack and not html?
