Annotation of /trunk/ChangeLog

2007-09-10 Torsten Irlaender <[email protected]>
        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/controllers.py: Fixed issues on
          displaying formdata when changing datasets. Loading the right
          formdata was not handled in a correct way. Hope it is all fixed now.
          Left some commented code because not all sideeffects of the changes
          are tested yet.
        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/renderer.py: DataSetDigestRenderer
          now uses the correct data out of the formdata.


2007-09-10 Sascha L. Teichmann <[email protected]>

        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/controllers.py: Pretty
          print format data (dates e.g)

2007-09-10 Sascha L. Teichmann <[email protected]>

        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/controllers.py: Modified 
          ErrorStats a bit to avoid mysterious extra error on page.
                No clue why this works.

2007-09-10 Sascha L. Teichmann <[email protected]>

        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/form_renderer.py: Fixed value
          problem with radio groups, too.

2007-09-10 Torsten Irlaender <[email protected]>

          really removed when deleting a dataset. 
        
2007-09-10 Torsten Irlaender <[email protected]>

        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/controllers.py: Added new Class
          ErrorStats which provides Information on remaining errors per page.

          the renderer methods from controllers.py to renderers.py. 

        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/plugin.py: Removed render_session
          handlers

2007-09-10 Sascha L. Teichmann <[email protected]>

        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/form_renderer.py: values for
          choices are generated from the document tree now. This brings
                the state storage of select boxes in HTML to live.

2007-09-09 Sascha L. Teichmann <[email protected]>

        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/semantic.py: Fixed problems with
          range checking of integers.

2007-09-09 Sascha L. Teichmann <[email protected]>

        * tools/formed/formed/model/nodecomponents.py: Fixed returning
          wrong index in Document.indexOfcomponentByClassAndName.

        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/form_renderer.py: 'error' was
          written 'errot' in renderer for textareas.

        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/controllers.py: Some clean-ups.

2007-09-09 Sascha L. Teichmann <[email protected]>

        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/help.py: Added a 'hasHelp'
          method. Could be cheaper for some implementations of help.

        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/form_renderer.py: Modified
          FormData to have distinct getData(), getHelp() and getError()
                methods. Various bug fixes.

          new FormData (trivial by now).

        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/renderer.py: New FormData and
          some bug fixes.

2007-09-09 Sascha L. Teichmann <[email protected]>

        * tools/formed/formed/model/memory.py,
          tools/formed/formed/model/persistent.py: Add a getValue() method
                to dataset abstraction. This is a bit of a workaround to bring
                global access across pages for rule checking to work.

        * tools/formed/formed/model/data.py: Fixed: When setting a new expression
          the compiled version was not stored in the RuleLeaf.

        * tools/formed/formed/model/expr.py: shlex lexer does not like unicode.
          convert the expression string to ascii for compilation.

        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/semantic.py: Remove the 'box' because
          valid data is stored to the dataset immediately now. Fixed a bug 
                with integer handler.

        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/controllers.py: Removed the semantic 'box'
          stuff. When a submit is done extract the rules from the tree document
                that are effected by the modified variables and check them.

        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/renderer.py: Fixed exception handling
          when dealing with templates.

2007-09-07 Torsten Irlaender <[email protected]>

          Note: The new methods are only called from selected handlers. Other
          handlers call the renderes in the old way.

2007-09-07 Torsten Irlaender <[email protected]>
        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/form_renderer.py: Renamed

          which will contain general render methods.
        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/controllers.py: Began to move all
          rendering into renderer.py or form_renderer.py. This file will only
          contain teh handlers in the future.

2007-09-07 Torsten Irlaender <[email protected]>
        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/renderer.py,
          tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/controller.py:
          Renderes now get an instance of the formdata object to provide
          access the data needed to render various infoboxes etc. Handler
          instanciate the formdata.
        
2007-09-06 Torsten Irlaender <[email protected]>
        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/renderer.py: Mainly tried to get the
          getFormData interface to work. Added two small semantic fixes, but
          did not manage to get it up. Need to exime this a little bit more

        * tools/formed/formed/model/misc.py: Checking the mode in recursive
          tree traversals is a common task. To ease this a decorator function
                checkMode in union with sub classing ModeChecker can be used.
                To make it work simply subclass from ModeChecker and add the decorator
                to the methods that need mode tracking. Before you start the recursion
                call self.prepareDescent().

          need a file dialog. Till now each of them pulled up its
                own. This was silly code replication. Now there is an abstract
                base class 'FileDialogFilter' which implements the common
                behavior. The file exporters should subclass it.

        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/export/sql.py: Subclass the SQL
          exporters from the new base class. TODO: Subclass the HTML
                exporter too.

        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/plugin.py: Navigation rendering works
          now in recursive way. This change was needed because the structure

          choice item lists for a given field from XFA files. e.g. with

        * tools/formed/formed/model/data.py,
          tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/renderer.py,
                tools/formed/formed/io/document.py: Changed the structure
                of choice constructs. The idea to hold the different items
                of a particular choice in a semicolon separated list was bad.
                Now choices are groups and  the option items are modelled as 
                embedded bools. (mainly Torsten Irländer's idea). 

                WARNING: this makes old document files containing choices incompatible!!!
                Use the following XSLT to reestablish compatibility.
                
        * contrib/itemize-choices.xsl: New converts old to new structure.
          Needs exslt.org's string extensions (which xsltproc includes)

        * tools/formed/test-data/simple.xml: Ajusted to new structure

        * tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/plugin.py: remove debug output

          tools/formed/formed/plugins/web/renderer.py: Removed support
                for 'text' attributes in bool items. They were never really
                used and the 'description' attributes fulfill the same
                purpose.

        * contrib/remove-bool-text.xsl: Transform to remove the
          'text' attributes from bool items. Apply with:
