Reference asset from css
Is there anyway i can reference an asset from a css ?
I would like the css not to reference the images directly but to use
tapestry assets instead, but i have no idea on how to do this. Is it
possible ?
Cheers
Hugo

The object is inflated and passed to the page via an action on
another page. For that first render, no initialization is required
in pageBeginRender.
So, after the page is rendered, it's stripped of its state and
returned to the page pool. It's the form submission part that's
jacking me all up.

Bingo! Actually, I went with a struts style form bean thing. The
bean takes the values from the form and has convenience methods to
copy it's values to a DataObject.
So, for existing objects (ones committed to the db)....
- I re-inflate my DataObject from a key passed in a hidden input
- copy form bean values to it,
- validate,
- then commit
Clear as mud, huh? :-)

I think I'm understanding the issue better now. :)
Tell me, if all initialization is done in pageBeginRender, then
how are the dynamic elements (lists, etc.) initialized in the first
place? You gave example of shipping addresses... how do you know how
to initialize the shippingAddresses list to begin with? Is the composite
object set in a listener method elsewhere? Or...?
Richard's suggestion sounded fine. I suspect that you're also using
cayenne...? If you are, watch out for null data contexts on
re-serialization.

Robert,

Maybe you can tell me? As far as I can tell, the composite object
(which holds all the form elements) is null when pageBeginRender() is
invoked. In other words, it has not taken any values from the form
yet. If I don't instantiate the object in pageBeginRender(), the
page throws because it's attempting to set a value on a null object.
I'm going to try Richard's suggestion. See if that gets me somewhere.

I'm curious as to how putting the count in a hidden is too late? When
the page is first rendered, do you have access to the size of the list
before the loop? If so, couldn't you just put in the size of the list in
a @Hidden (before the loop) and use a listener with the @Hidden to
re-instantiate the list? I've used this strategy several times with
success. But... maybe I'm missing something? :)

Hi,
Just curious, why is placing the info in a Hidden too late?
Also, do ListEdit or For (on www.t-deli.com) do what you want?

dynamic forms that are stateless
Posted by Eric Schneider <er...@centralparksoftware.com>.
Hi,
I have a requirement that I'm stumbling on. I have an editor page
that needs to be completely stateless containing no persistent
properties. Users must be able to open this page in multiple
browsers windows, switching back and forth and performing updates.
This is no problem if there are a fixed amount of form elements.
When the user clicks save, I instantiate the bean in pageBeginRender
() so it can successfully take the values from the form.
Where it gets awkward is when you have a dynamic number form
elements. (i.e. - a customer has 0-many shipping addresses). I
have to re-inflate that list of shipping addresses before values are
set to the beans within the lists. Unfortunately, there really isn't
a good way to tell how many shipping address there are, aside from
putting this count in a hidden form input (which is too late
anyway). Has anyone geared up something like this?
I hope I'm explaining this well enough. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
e.

Re: Reference asset from css
Posted by Alberto Lepe <al...@gmail.com>.
One way I think it is possible, is to serve the CSS file from
tapestry, for example,
your CSS file will be: mycss.html. At mycss.page, you can now include assets.
To include that css file, you will have to write:
<link href="/app?service=page/mycss" ... />
It's the only way I can think of it...
Maybe you can do it different: write down a normal servlet and keep on
a .property your path to your images...
Please visit: www.tapestryforums.com and join us!

Re: Reference asset from css [auf Viren geprueft]
Posted by Andreas Andreou <an...@di.uoa.gr>.
Maybe, instead of a static css,
you need to create a Tapestry page that ouputs css data, and that gets
included as a css in other pages.
In that page, you can then define private-assets for the images, and
output their URLs where needed.
So,
1) You need to write some code to extract the URL from an asset (see
IAsset.buildURL(cycle) )
2) You need to be able to include a Tapestry page as stylesheet (the
Shell components only accepts IAsset for stylesheet)

Re: Reference asset from css [auf Viren geprueft]

That doesn't work if the css and the images are bundled as a component
in a library.
What i have is a Border component bundled in a library, this component
has a .css and some images. None of these are in the webcontext because
they are in the library archive. So my problem is: how do i reference
the component images from the component css ? I've tried relative path
but it doesn't work.

Re: Reference asset from css [auf Viren geprueft]
Posted by Pablo Ruggia <pr...@gmail.com>.
I can't get what you really want, or the way you want to do it. But
i'll try to guess.
If you wan't to change or override some css class property you can use
the html syle attribute.
Perhaps something like this in your template:
<div jwcid="@Any" class="baseClasss"
style="ognl:getStyleForMe('thisIsAParameter', 'andThisIsAnother') />
And in your page class or it's superclass you define the method:
public String getStyleForMe(String param1, String param2);
It's the simple approach, obviously.
Also, you can define a servlet or an engine service and include a
<link rel ...... to that servlet or service url, and in it's service
method you can do some logic to output a css with the classes you want
created dinamically. I don't like this approach. I like to keep things
simple.

Re: Reference asset from css [auf Viren geprueft]
Posted by Random Tapestry User <ta...@comcast.net>.
Dave,
I see what you're saying. I thought you were specifically referring only
to the image issue.
What your considering is conditional CSS, which yes, is a bit different.
You might consider maybe the simplest approach by having one stylesheet
with all the common stuff that is not variable, and conditionally
include the other stylesheets based on your criteria.
In my case, I did that (briefly, until I worked out the issue) to
include one stylesheed for MSIE, and another for Firefox/Mozilla.

Sorry that my question was not so clear.
You gave the example :
.titleGradient
{
text-align: top;
background: url(../images/title-gradient.gif) 0px 0px repeat-y;
}
But what if I want "text-align: top" in one case, but "text-align: bottom"
in another?
Now, I know very well I could have two classes, like "titleGradientTop" and
"titleGradientBottom", and set the class being used dynamically. The problem
with this is that it clutters up the CSS. If you think about all the
possible combinations of styles, it's just not practical. It just seems so
much elegant and useful to be able to generate the CSS dynamically.
It would be very useful to be able to do something like:
public void setTitleGradientCssClass(final Object testParam)
{
if ( testParam.isSomeTestTrue )
{
getCss().getText().setAlign(TOP);
|
else
{
getCss().getText().setAlign(BOTTOM);
}
}
Cheers,
Dave

Ideally, you probably have an "images" directory that is probably a peer
directory to your "css" directory.
You simply reference the images with "../images/whateverImage.gif"
Here's an examply from my .css file :
.titleGradient
{
text-align: top;
background: url(../images/title-gradient.gif) 0px 0px repeat-y;
}
all works great

RE: Reference asset from css [auf Viren geprueft]
Posted by David Leangen <dl...@canada.com>.
Actually, I have a similar question... I haven't yet tried, but since this
thread is on the same topic, I just thought I'd ask.
It would be nice to be able to dynamically generate CSS. Is there a (simple)
way this could be done?
One complicated way is to have Tapestry generate an XML file and transform
the XML file to output CSS, but that seems a bit to heavy.
Any ideas?

Hugo,
url references in a css file are always relative to the location of the css
file. You may have to create your own asset service, and ../.. your way up
to that.
Unless you are creating assets on the fly or selecting language specific
assets, if you expose your images directory, it'll work fine without an
asset.

Reference asset from css [auf Viren geprueft]
Is there anyway i can reference an asset from a css ?
I would like the css not to reference the images directly but to use
tapestry assets instead, but i have no idea on how to do this. Is it
possible ?
