An alternative to long skinny tables: "Newspaper Table"
I've created a custom component that is very similar
to the dataTable component.
Suppose you have a dataTable of states and their 2-letter abbreviations:
AL ALABAMA
AK ALASKA
AZ ARIZONA
AR ARKANSAS
CA CALIFORNIA
CO COLORADO
CT CONNECTICUT
...
This will quickly consume several screens of data and the
user ends up scrolling like crazy. With my new component
NewspaperTable, you specify a number of newspaper columns
and the table is "wrapped" so that each column is repeated
multiple times on each row. The name newspaper comes
from the idea of 'balanced columns' like you would find in
a newspaper:
AL ALABAMA DE DELAWARE IA IOWA
AK ALASKA FL FLORIDA KS KANSAS
AZ ARIZONA GA GEORGIA KY KENTUCKY
AR ARKANSAS HI HAWAII LA LOUISIANA
CA CALIFORNIA ID IDAHO ME MAINE
CO COLORADO IL ILLINOIS MD MARYLAND
CT CONNECTICUT IN INDIANA MA MASSACHUSETTS
The end result works very well in my application. I have used
all sorts of components in this table and they all work perfectly.
I would like to share this component with the MyFaces project.
Can somebody please tell me where I can contribute this code?
It seems like everything is a little crazy due to the migration to
Apache Incubator!
Cheers,
Jesse

I went to the MyFaces page on the incubator, but I couldn't find
anything relating to CVS/SVN access. How do you get to it?

Does apache have proxy access like SF?
We're behind a firewall here, so if not, I'll just have to download at home.

Hi,
I think you need to leave the password blank.

I've tried without spaces, with following cvsroot:
:pserver;password=anoncvs:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic/incubator-myfaces
but the answer is ever
cvs -d
:pserver;password=anoncvs:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic/incubator-myfac...

Logging in to
:pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:2401:/home/cvspublic/incubator-myfaces
cvs [login aborted]: /home/cvspublic/incubator-myfaces: no such repository

Hi,
I made a check out of the project this weekend using the same root.
A wild guess, there seems to be a whitespace at the end,
could that have anything to do with it?

Hii,
I had the same problem accessing the CVS at apache,
with no repository found message. If u access root
repository path /home/cvspublic, it should work. Then
check out only myfaces-incubator.

Hi all,
Anybody had success with WinCVS yet and is able to help Francesco?
Since I am behind a firewall I have only ssh access. So, I cannot verify
that access to /home/cvspublic is possible with pserver protocol.
With my non-anonymous access I am able to browse the
/home/cvspublic/incubator-myfaces dir, so this dir actually exists.

Re: An alternative to long skinny tables: "Newspaper Table"
Posted by Manfred Geiler <ma...@apache.org>.
Jesse,
Thanks for your offer.
The best way to contribute to MyFaces:
- Start with the latest CVS on your disk
- Make modifications and/or implement new classes, components, tags, etc.
- Create a patch file
- Submit a new "improvement" issue at
http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/secure/BrowseProject.jspa?id=10600
- Apply the patch to this issue as attachement
Thanks very much,
Manfred
BTW: This procedure is common and simliar in all Apache projects.
