TurboGears 0.9 will ship with at webbased administration app called ToolBox.
Among the tools available right now there is a model browser (CatWalk), a webbased Python interpreter, a Widget browser and now a model designer.
The ModelDesigner is a code generation tool for SQLObject models.
Watch a short introductory screencast here.
Or play with an online demo.
I’m have still […]
This evening I start working on TurboGear’s ticket nr. #112. I have already been playing with a design for ToolBox which at least people on the developers list seams to like.
The icons in the opening screen are from the Tango Desktop Project.
Their Icons are really nice, and they have a well though […]
This week I’ve been going trough CatWalk’s tickets slated for the TurboGears 0.9 release.
Some of the issues resolved are:
- hitting return in edit or add view generates an error
- adding support for accesskeys for save and cancel
- load default values in the add view
- implement support for inheritance
- deal with ForeignKeys which default to none
- […]
Kevin introduced today ‘TurboGears’s Widgets’ to the TG.mailing_list. I think this is going to be one of the coolest features for the upcoming release!
I couldn’t resist the itch to play with it right away, so I implemented a simple grid widget and a subclass of it, a dataGrid widget.
The dataGrid is nice, it takes a […]
If you hate David for raising the bar for how projects should market themselves due to his 15m intro video, you can start to stuff small voodoo dolls of Joel, because Aardvark’d the movie is out for sale.
Trying to keep with the times I updated CatWalk’s front page with some small ‘feature highlights’ clips.
How many […]
Now that CatWalk is part of TurboGears I have some cleanup to do, because allMyMethodNames should now be underscored to match TG’s coding style.
That’s all right with me, but some places it looks a bit weird, CatWalk’s use SQLObject and MochiKit extensible and both use camelCases.
Talking about weird, CatWalk is made of umgefärt 900 […]
If you are sceptical about SQLObject and want to keep and eye on it, this feature is for you. I just check in support for turning SQLObject debug on and off from within CatWalk and displaying (in a frame) the raw SQL in all its’ gory.
I have already regretted having this as a frame in […]
www.checkandshareCatWalk’s grids are dynamically build using MochiKit terrific Stan syntax.
They accept a data structure (JSON) and return a grid element you can add to your page or manipulate further using the DOM.
This is just javascript, no server side magic. You can use it with or without CatWalk.
Though TurboGears json output (tg_format=json) makes it really easy […]
If you have objects with a lot of fields and you don’t want to clutter your grid views with all the extra information which better fits your detail view, then this feature is for you.
Grid view in CatWalk comes now with a small dingy (top right), like in mozilla grids. If you mouse over […]
I have just check in support for many to many relations in CatWalk.
See a short clip of how it works here.
