override WebElement to remove <html> and <head>
 
|
I'm trying to build a widget with Aida and am not sure where I override in the framework to remove the <html> and <head>. I just need to generate some Javascript code. I also want to know how I override the content-type. Thanks in advance.

If you want such (like JAvaSript), you do the following: 1. normaly write your App and a view method, say viewJS 2. in that App implement #contentType to return 'text/javascript' 3. in viewJS prepare a WebElement and addText: yourJSCode 4. simply return that element as result of this view This should work.

Janko,
Thanks for your response. I understand this. I don't understand how I can "install" this view into my webapp. For example, I ran this code: swazooWeb urlResolver defaultURL: '/photos.html' forObject: photos. So, I can now access photos.html through the viewMain method on my app. However, I then created a method called viewWidget. How do I access this in my webapp? Do I need to send urlResolver again? How does my application know to route a request like "/widget.html" to viewWidget? I've been playing with preferedUrl and I have not found a solution yet.

Janko, Aida is very "strict" about maintaining an MVC-like structure. You create a link to another domain object; you don't "call" the view. For example, if your photos object is a list of photos, and you want to "open" a photo with your Widget, then you would create a new instance of the Widget, and create a link to it in your PhotosApp, maybe like: For example, if your photos object is a list of photos, and you want to "open" a photo with your Widget, then you would create a new instance of the Widget, and create a link to it in your PhotosApp, maybe like: PhotosApp>>viewMain |e| e := WebElement new. ..... self photoList do: [:photo | widget := Widget forPhoto: photo. e addLinkTo: widget text: widget photoName. e addBreak. ]. ..... where widget is an instance of your widget object. Of course, I have assumed I have some idea of what you are trying to do! Then you would need a corresponding WidgetApp with a viewMain that would do whatever you put in your viewWidget above. Does this make sense? Alternatively, you could use ViewTabs to show multiple aspects of a single object like I tried to explain here: http://www.aidaweb.si/lists%20and%20tabs.html Hope this gets some ideas flowing for a new round of questions, Rob _______________________________________________ Aida mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.aidaweb.si/mailman/listinfo/aida |

Hi Chris, I hope, I'm not too late for answer yet, you simply: /photos.html?view=widget That is, you can access every view in your App directly by adding view name in query part of url. Just the default view #main is called without that query part. This is one of Aida' conventions, another one is that which you already know: MyDomainObject -> MyDomainObjectApp. Best regards Janko > > Thanks, > Chris > > On Sat, May 24, 2008 at 2:48 PM, Janko Mivšek <[hidden email] > <mailto:[hidden email]>> wrote: > > Hi Chris, > > Chris Dawson wrote: > > I'm trying to build a widget with Aida and am not sure where I > override > > in the framework to remove the <html> and <head>.

Meaning from a browser? So if my main app is http://localhost:8888/mysite/myapp.html and I want to write another view, I could get to it from http://localhost:8888/mysite/myapp.html?view=anotherView ??? can I link to it within the code as well? I have a DataManager, which is a list of DataAbstractor(s), which contain DynamicRecords. To define the fields within the DynamicRecord for a particular DataAbstractor, I was planning on creating a DynamicRecordDesigner, so I could create a Designer for: anAbstractor. However, a designer could be another "view" in an abstractor--it would be like being in "design mode" vs "edit mode," but I didn't think I could do that... Too many choices...! Rob
