[Boa Constr] RFE

I have two requests for feature enhancements:

1. I would like to have a dialog pop up inviting me to give my own name to
an app or control when it's created. It's a lot easier to figure out what's
going on if I can call something nameLstBox instead of wxlstbox3 (or
whatever: not a real world example). I would prefer this to renaming the
control after I have created it! For those who either don't mind it or don't
want it, either a suggested default name could be in the dialog name edit
control when the dialog control comes up so that the user can just hit
"enter" or it could be a preferences option. It looks as though it would be
a simple matter of modifying DesignerView.newControl(), at least for having
the dialog all the time. No idea of how to make it a user preference.

2. Please, please, PLEASE update the documentation!!!!!

It would also be nice if there was an updated .zip for the poor folks who
come along and innocently d/l 0.1.0 and have it crash on them!

Sincerely,

David LeBlanc

Hi David,

My file is the same as the CVS current and has no problem.

I suspect there was a CVS conflict with your checkout.
"Views->CVS Conflicts" are useful to resolve this (If you have
a running Boa that is ;)

Just making sure, you know about the Name property you should
set in the Inspector? Is this really that bad?

As the current practice is the same as Delphi and other GUI builders,
it will stay the default behaviour.
We could have a 'dsPromptForNameAtCreate' preference setting.
But I'm not convinced yet.

Please update at least this page:
<http://boa-constructor.sourceforge.net/Download.html>

If you don't want to make release packages, why not guiding people to 
the cvs?

You did a great job improving Boa Constructor, why should people still 
download version 0.1.0?

Cheers,

Yuppie

Zope Support

Hi!

Is anybody currently working on the Zope Support? Did anybody try to 
write a CMF plug-in?

Does it make sense to write a CMF plug-in right now? I had a look at the 
code and found todo comments like that in Editor.py:

     # XXX Unify with the rest of the explorers
     def openOrGotoZopeDocument(self, zopeObj):

     # XXX Unify with the rest of the explorers
     def openZopeDocument(self, zopeObj, wholename):

The Zope plug-ins are very different to the other plug-ins. Looks like a 
unified plug-in interface would be very helpful for updating the 
ZopeExplorer to Zope 2.6 or writing a CMF plug-in.

I'm afraid the unifying needs a lot of refactoring that only Riaan could 
do. So one question would be:

Is refactoring of ZopeExplorer something scheduled for the next months?

I know that other people like Robert also worked on the Zope Support. 
What are the future plans they have?

I don't want to hurry anybody. Just want to know if it makes sense to 
dig into the old code and write something on my own.

Cheers,

Db>

Hello boa-constructor-users,

Maybe it's a stupid question... I'm missing something...

How to change a local variable value from the shell while debugging
(aka Db> prompt)?

In the standard debugger, pdb, casted with pdb.set_trace(), I use the
!, like !var1=1... with boa I've a Syntax Error...

Db> debug=1

  File "<string>", line 1
    debug=1
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Db> !debug=1

  File "<string>", line 1
    !debug=1
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

When I can I use some function (like setattr) or work in the __dict__,
but I wonder if where is some other easy way...

;( Any advice?

I do now and again when time permits.

I have not used CMF in a project, so learning the whole framework 
plus wrapping the whole CMF framework will take too much time.

It's definitely one of those things I want but just don't have time for :(

From my investigations into this it looks like CMF objects can be wrapped 
just like all the other Zope objects currently supported.

Updated. (And fixed another SSHExplorer bug ;)

Cheers,
