newapp: Flux navigation, layouts and access control
Hi,
I have created a new app in the standard way and would like to modify it as
follows:
1. I would like anything to do with Flux to use the Flux layouts and
navigation, rather than the 'app' ones.
2. When a user with the appropriate role such as 'turbine_root', logs in,
they see a link to the flux pages so that they might make changes, other
users shouldn't.
For the first problem, I have looked hard at the docs and mailing lists and
cannot find how to do what I want (tdk has a steep learning curve :-).
For the second one, I have tried:
#if ($data.getACL.hasRole("turbine_root"))
...flux menu items
#end
But this doesn't work in that the condition is always false (no menu items
show up).Also, $flux.role returns null when I've logged in as 'turbine'
which seems odd.

Re: SOS...working with sample app in turbine
Posted by Vijay <vi...@bigtec.org>.
Hi Eliot,
Let me be more precise on what am I looking for...
I am able to configure the index(default) page to my liking.
Now this is a Login page which would require authentication from
the Database( lets presume that I have my DTDs ready), how do I
handle the authentication part( this is different from the default
authentication
that Turbine provides), then upon validation, the user is taken to another
screen.
Please suggest me how to do this. I would be grateful if you could help me
solve
this issue.
Thanks

To create the URL for a page you would use the following in a
Velocity template:
$link.setPage("company,AboutUs.vm")
Put this in the href attribute of an anchor tag to create a
working link.
<a href="$link.setPage("company,AboutUs.vm")">About us</a>
The screen template for this page would be located here:
templates/
screens/
company/
AboutUs.vm
I hope this is what you're looking for. If it isn't then please
ask.

Hi Eliot..
Thanx for your prompt response....
I have read most of the documentation....but it doesnt seem to help.
Please tell me which part of the code do I look for if I wish to navigate
from one page to another. Guess answering that part would get me started
off.
Thanx

1. Where can I find the code for navigation from one page to another.
2. Suppose I would like to load a page with a preset dynamic content...what

Re: newapp: Flux navigation, layouts and access control
Posted by Channing Walton <ch...@teaminabox.co.uk>.
OK, thanks peter. Its good to know I've got it right.
Another strange layout issue I found was that if I created a new vm in my
templates/app/screens, the layout used will be the flux layout, unless I
created a subclass of VelocityScreen in my screens package.
Do you know what that¹s about?

That's right,
my solution is in case you need to switch the layout dynamically during
the application flow ...

Hi, I found the cure to be to edit the Flux.properties file in
WEB-APPS/conf, and set this property:
flux.embedded.layout = /FluxDefault.vm
It was set to /Default.vm which is of course the app layout!!
This seems to work for me, I hope it is correct.

I wrestled with the same problem. After digging in the source code,I
found the the rundata is available in the template as $data, and it has
a convinience method data.setLayoutTemplate("/NewLayout.vm").
However, it seems that the layout is resetted every time you make a new
request. That means, all your screen templates that do not want the
default layout should have a line
$data.setLayoutTemplate("/NewLayout.vm") somewhere near the top. It
seems that this is executed when the new response is built, so setting
the layout in the calling screen will be without effect.
Does anyone know how to "permanently" change the layout, until you
change it explicitly again?
