This view also provides the exact position of each match. You can also open a file by clicking with the &RMB; on an list entry that contains line and column position. + + + + + The String List + + This is the Strings view: + + &kfilereplace;'s Strings view + + + + + + &kfilereplace;'s Strings view + + + + + + The Strings view visualizes the list of strings you want search/replace. Please note that in search mode the Results view and the Strings view have a different layout. + + + + + The <guilabel>New Session</guilabel> Dialog + The New Session dialog is used to setup the basic parameters needed by &kfilereplace; to work.

If you want to run &kfilereplace; only over files that have a size in the range of 10KB - 100KB, then you could use the size options. There is also a date option that restricts the search in a temporal range, and a last option that allows you to only search for files owned (or not owned) by a particular user (this may be more useful to the system administrators). + + + + + The <guilabel>Options</guilabel> Dialog + This dialog contains options that are in the toolbar and extra options that may come in handy in some situations.

When you finish, click OK. + + + + + &kfilereplace; features + This chapter provides informations about some useful capabilities of &kfilereplace;. + + How to save your string list + When you want to reuse a list of strings you can save it in a xml file. To do this select from the menubar Search/ReplaceStringsSave Strings List to File. When you save a list, a simple xml file with extension kfr is created. To load a kfr file select from menubar Search/ReplaceStringsLoad Strings List from File. The actual file looks like this: + +<?xml version="1.0" ?> +<kfr> + <mode search="false"/> + <replacement> + <oldstring><![CDATA[SEARCH_STRING_1]] ></oldstring> + <newstring><![CDATA[REPLACE_STRING_1]]></newstring> + </replacement> + <replacement> + <oldstring><![CDATA[SEARCH_STRING_2]]></oldstring> + <newstring><![CDATA[REPLACE_STRING_2]]></newstring> + </replacement> + + + <replacement> + <oldstring><![CDATA[SEARCH_STRING_N]]></oldstring> + <newstring><![CDATA[REPLACE_STRING_N]]></newstring> + </replacement> + +</kfr> + + If you are using a previous format, you can update by hand your file by simply modifying it according to the above scheme. Alternatively, you can load the file written in the old format and save it again with &kfilereplace; in the way explained before. + + + + How to Create a Simple Report + You can create a report by choosing Search/ReplaceResultsCreate Report File from the main menu. A report is a folder containing an xml and a css file. Reports may be useful to maintain a simple log of your operations. + + &kfilereplace;'s Report feature + + + + + + + + + &kfilereplace;'s Report feature + + + + + + + + How to use Regular Expressions + + If you want search for every string that starts with x, ht or u and ends with ml, you can write a regular expression like this: (x|ht|u)ml. Insert this expression in the search editor, click OK, and enable regular expressions by toggling the Regular Expression button. Please note that using regular expressions lets you to make very complicated searches, but the cost could be a performance degradation. Regular expression can be very tricky, and it is often the case that if you want to solve a problem with a regular expression, you have two problems. + + + + How to Protect Original Files + If you do not want to lose your original files, you can make a copy of them before replacing the strings. After inserting your strings, and before starting the replacement process, you have just to toggle the Backup button. If you want to customize the extension of the backup files open the Options dialog. + + + + + How to Open a File + If you want to open a file that matches some of your strings, you have to select a line in the result view and click on it with the &RMB;. A context menu will appear from which you can open the file. If you use &kfilereplace; embedded in &quantaplus;, you can open the file directly in it at the specified line and column. + + + + Commands + Suppose you want replace the phrase Alice's adventures in Wonderland with the entire file that contains Carroll's novel. Probably you don't want to do this by hand, what you need is a command that will do it for you. Click the Add button, select Search and Replace Mode and insert the following strings: Alice's adventure in Wonderland in the search mini-editor and the string [$loadfile:/the-path-to-my-folder/my-folder/my-file$] in the replacement mini-editor. Click OK. When you come back to the &kfilereplace; main window, toggle the Command action button that enables the commands, and start the replacement process. There are also other commands, see for a list of all of them. + + + + +Credits and License + +&kfilereplace;.

 + + + + + + + +&kommander; Basics + + + + +Concepts + + + +&kommander; was originally designed around a simple concept that has proven somewhat revolutionairy among visual design tools. Typically these tools allow you to create dialogs and possibly mainwindow interfaces. Of course a mainwindow interface is the main program window which typically has menus, toolbars, statusbar and the application area. Dialogs are child windows which typically don't have menus and are so named because their purpose is to have a dialog or exchange information between you and the main application. The elements on a dialog are called widgets and you hook your program into these widgets. &kommander; is different because it is inherently nonprogrammatic here. It uses the concept of associating text with the widgets on the dialog. Initially this was called Associated Text but now it is called &kommander; Text. Widgets on &kommander; dialogs can include the content of other widgets by reference and a widget can reference its own content by use of a Special that looks like this, @widgetText. Specials are commands with special meaning in &kommander;. So if you created a dialog with two LineEdit widgets and named the first FirstName and the second LastName you could create a button and set its &kommander; Text to My name is @FirstName @LastName. You would need to set @widgetText in the first and last name widgets. Remember? We need to tell &kommander; to reference the text in them. You could run this from a Konsole and it would output the string for you. So it would reference the first name like so: @FirstName -> get the widget named FirstName(@FirstName) -> @widgetText -> get the contents of the LineEdit widget. So in this case @FirstName returns Eric: @FirstName -> @widgetText -> Eric. + + + +That is the simple core of &kommander;. What you can do with this is where it gets interesting. First of all it is worth noting that compared to the normal approach of a language based tool &kommander; does not need programming statements to define these operations. This makes &kommander; quick for developers. For end users it's much simpler than learning language constructs. For everyone it means you can focus on your task instead of having your reference material eternally at hand. Initially when people are exposed to a tool like &kommander; the first question is Where could I find a use for this cool tool? As it turns out, manipulating strings is used just about anywhere you look. + + + +So what can &kommander; do? Here is the list distilled to the base operations. +&kommander; can: + + + +Pass strings to the calling program via stdout. +Call executable programs. +Use &DCOP; to interact with &kde; programs + + + +If you're not a programmer you may want that in laymans terms. In number one, if you launch &kommander; from a console then the console is the calling program. There is a parent child relationship there. Sending a message to console is done with the standard output (stdout) of the child program, so named because there is also error output. This is interesting because some programs, like &quantaplus;, use stdout to receive information from programs they launch. So &kommander; dialogs can output their text strings directly into &quantaplus;'s editor if they are called from &quantaplus;. This means &kommander; dialogs can be useful extentions to programs. + + + +The second case is calling an executable. Any program that runs on your system is an executable. Even a script program is run by the script's interpreter so technically it's executed too. &kommander; can run commands just like the console even if you run it from the menu. So for instance if you wanted it to open &GIMP; you would have a button derive the string gimp and put it in a special like so: @exec(gimp). Just like that you will see &GIMP; open when using this. You could also exec ls -l too but you would only see the output if you were running from a console. + + + +The third case is very interesting indeed. &DCOP; is short for &kde;'s Desktop COmmunication Protocol and it is very powerful. Go ahead and run the kdcop program and have a look around. You'll quickly see that any &kde; application that is built to standards has things happening in &DCOP; and the well designed ones have a lot going on. With &DCOP; you can query information of all sorts as well as set widget values and more. There is a section on using &DCOP; in this manual. &kommander; can send &DCOP; to any &kde; program as well as be controlled by &DCOP;. In fact you can send &DCOP; from the command line to any &kde; program. So what's the big deal? The deal is, if you want to do any volume of commands you begin to realized that command line &DCOP; is adequate for short commands, but it can cause delays for instance being called from a loop several hundred times. This is why &kommander; has a @dcop special, because this is roughly 1000 times faster. Because &kommander; can send and receive &DCOP;, &DCOP; can be used to script &kommander;. That is why we also have a local &DCOP; special, @ldcop, that allows you to type a lot less to issue a command. + + + +Is that all the core concepts in &kommander;? No, but it should help you to make sense of how it works so that what is covered does not look like a foreign language to you. There are a few more. Signals and slots are how &kommander; handles events. An event in a program basically means something happened like a widget was created or had its text changed. These changes emit signals and you can connect those signals to a receiving slot which will then do something when the event happens. One use of this in &kommander; is the sibling of &kommander; Text, Population Text. Population Text will populate a widget when called. Just like &kommander; Text, Population Text can contain text strings or scripts. + + + +That should give you the base concepts to begin using &kommander;. We try to keep the number of Specials low and we use &DCOP; a lot. The idea is that we want to keep the power of &kommander; as consistent and streamlined as possible. You will find that you can incorporate any scripting language into &kommander; where ever you need to and even multiple scripting languages in a dialog. The rest of the information in this document assumes you are familiar with the concepts and terms presented here. The examples and tutorials are also very useful to understanding what can be done with &kommander;. + + + +&editor; + + +The Executor + + +The executor, called kmdr-executor, runs &kommander; scripts. It loads .kmdr files and dynamically produces a fully functional dialog. +Starting with version 1.3, the executor warns if the script file is not executable. This is an extra security feature that tries to make the user think about the possible bad consequences of running a script from untrusted source. The user can confirm to run the dialog or if he trusts the source, can make the script executable and get rid of the warning completely. +Version 1.3 supports the #!/path/kmdr-executor shebang in the beginning of the .kmdr script files (replace path with path to the +Such files if they are made executable can be run from command line just like any executable application, without the need to pass the script to kmdr-executor as argument. + +Remember, that once you add the shebang at the beginning of the file, the dialog cannot be run or edited with older versions of &kommander;. +The recommended usage is + +#!/usr/bin/kommander + +and create a symlink from kmdr-executor to /usr/bin/kommander. +The shebang can be added to a dialog directly from the editor, by modifying the useShebang and shebang properties for the main dialog. + + + + + +Executor for Programmers + + +C++ developers can easily use the Instance class in their C++ programs so that the execution functionality is embedded in the their application obsoleting the need for running the external executor program. For standard dialog the dialog creation overhead is minimal but the creation of the &kde; application may delay the dialog for around a second. + +Another approach is to use the kommander_part KReadOnlyPart. This KPart can load and execute any &kommander; dialog inside another KDE application. + + + + + +Creating a Dialog + +To learn about how to create a dialog, add widgets, use layouts, modify widgets properties, please consult the &Qt; Designer (version 3.x) manual. You can access it by running designer from the command line or from your desktop menu. + + +The extra functionality that &kommander; offers is the Kommander Text associated with each widget. These texts are the executable (script) part of the dialog, written either in a script language (with the old &kommander; syntax) or using the internal &kommander; language, the so called new parser. + +To learn more about the language syntax, commands and how to use the text editor, consult the upcoming chapters and check the examples shipped with the &kommander; source. + + + +Executable bit - new in 1.3 + +For security reasons we introduced the executable bit requirement in version 1.3. Some will applaud this as long overdue. Others will consider it a terrible annoyance or even too scarey to use. Unfortunately there is no perfect solution. The problem is that you can download a Kommander dialog from anywhere or get one in your email and click on it and run it by accident. Because Kommander can run shell scripts it is sort of in an odd place. While other applications don't nag you this way you actually had to install them so clearly you felt safe and intended to run them. A single line of shell scripting could permanently wipe out your home directory. Our intent is to eliminate an accidental click on an untrusted dialog. We aplogize for any inconvenience, but there is no way to do this to even the developer's satisfaction that it will not annoy you while keeping you safe. + + +You are not prevented from running a dialog, just nagged. You can make it go away by using a file manager or the shell to set the executable bit. Right click on the dialog in Konqueror, select properties from the menu, choose the permissions tab and check the is executable checkbox. Now the nag will be gone from this dialog forever. Check our web site for a tool that searchesfor &kommander; dialogs and allows you to review them and choose whether any or all of them should have the bit set. To use the shell and make all the &kommander; dialogs in a directory executable use this command. + + +chmod u+x *.kmdr + +Do not set dialogs as executable if you are not confident of their origin. + + + diff --git a/doc/kommander/buttongroup.png b/doc/kommander/buttongroup.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..d89e28fd Binary files /dev/null and b/doc/kommander/buttongroup.png differ diff --git a/doc/kommander/checkbox.png b/doc/kommander/checkbox.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..ab6f53e0 Binary files /dev/null and b/doc/kommander/checkbox.png differ diff --git a/doc/kommander/closebutton.png b/doc/kommander/closebutton.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..63903b30 Binary files /dev/null and b/doc/kommander/closebutton.png differ diff --git a/doc/kommander/combobox.png b/doc/kommander/combobox.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..7d4890a7 Binary files /dev/null and b/doc/kommander/combobox.png differ diff --git a/doc/kommander/commands.docbook b/doc/kommander/commands.docbook new file mode 100644 index 00000000..87a6dc54 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/kommander/commands.docbook @@ -0,0 +1,14 @@ + + + + +Command Reference + + +Reference + +&widgets; +&specials; +&dcop-functions; + + diff --git a/doc/kommander/contents.png b/doc/kommander/contents.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..7596e67a Binary files /dev/null and b/doc/kommander/contents.png differ diff --git a/doc/kommander/credits.docbook b/doc/kommander/credits.docbook new file mode 100644 index 00000000..95c38541 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/kommander/credits.docbook @@ -0,0 +1,59 @@ + + + + +Credits and License + + +Tamara +King +

 + + + + + + +Extending &kommander; + + +Creating &kommander; Widgets + +With &kommander; you can create new widgets based on non-&kommander; widgets +fairly easily. + +There are two ways of adding new widgets to &kommander;: by creating +plugins or by adding it directly to the &kommander; source. + + +Create the widget class + + The first step is to create the widget class. The approach is to derive your new &kommander; widget class from the +&Qt;/&kde; widget which you wish to integrate with &kommander;, and then also from the +KommanderWidget class. Overriding methods from this class gives the &kommander; +widget its functionality. + + +Most of the code of a &kommander; widget is just template code. +Therefore, you can use the KDevelop &kommander; plugin template to generate +most the &kommander; widget code for you. To do so run KDevelop (3.5 is recommended), +select Project->New Project, tick the Show all project templates checkbox, +select the C++/&kommander;/KommanderPlugin template. Give a name for your plugin and +follow the instructions in the wizard. + + +All you have to do is fill in the +important parts relating to your widget like any state information, widget text +etc. + + +Let's say we want to create a new line edit widget for &kommander;, +based on the KDE widget KLineEdit. Using the &kommander; widget generator +dialog, we get something like this in the generated header file: + + +#include <kommanderwidget.h> + +class QShowEvent; +class KomLineEdit : public KLineEdit, public KommanderWidget +{ + Q_OBJECT + + Q_PROPERTY(QString populationText READ populationText WRITE setPopulationText DESIGNABLE false) + Q_PROPERTY(QStringList associations READ associatedText WRITE setAssociatedText DESIGNABLE false) + Q_PROPERTY(bool KommanderWidget READ isKommanderWidget) + +public: + KomLineEdit(QWidget *a_parent, const char *a_name); + ~KomLineEdit(); + + virtual QString widgetText() const; + + virtual bool isKommanderWidget() const; + virtual void setAssociatedText(const QStringList&); + virtual QStringList associatedText() const; + virtual QString currentState() const; + + virtual QString populationText() const; + virtual void setPopulationText(const QString&); +public slots: + virtual void setWidgetText(const QString &); + virtual void populate(); +protected: + void showEvent( QShowEvent *e ); +signals: + void widgetOpened(); + void widgetTextChanged(const QString &); +}; + +Most of this is just template code that you don't need to worry about. +The only two things you need to take notice of are that the kommanderwidget.h +file is included at the top, and that the class is derived first from the +widget we wish to integrate with &kommander;, and secondly from KommanderWidget. + + +There are a few parts in the cpp file that are important to each particular widget. + + +KomLineEdit::KomLineEdit(QWidget *a_parent, const char *a_name) + : KLineEdit(a_parent, a_name), KommanderWidget(this) +{ + QStringList states; + states << "default"; + setStates(states); + setDisplayStates(states); +} + +In the constructor, we set the states this widget may have. +Our line edit doesn't have any kind of state, so we just +give it one state default. If you were creating a widget +that had different kinds of states, such as a check box, you might +set three states unchecked, semichecked and checked here. + + +QString KomLineEdit::currentState() const +{ + return QString("default"); +} +We set the states in the constructor above, and this just +returns the current state of the widget. For our widget +it will always be default, but you should put code here +that checks what state your widget is currently in and +return the appropriate string here. + + +QString KomLineEdit::widgetText() const +{ + return KLineEdit::text(); +} + +void KomLineEdit::setWidgetText(const QString &a_text) +{ + KLineEdit::setText(a_text); + emit widgetTextChanged(a_text); +} + +These are the two most important methods, where the bulk of the +functional code goes. +QString KomLineEdit::widgetText() const method returns the widget text of the +widget (the text that the @widgetText special is expanded to in text +associations). For our widget, the widget text is simply the text inside +the line edit, so we just return that. Similarly when setting the widget text, +we just set the text inside the line edit. We emit the widgetTextChanged() +signal after setting the widget text so other widgets can recognize the fact +that this widget was updated. + + +In order to add functionality to the widget, you need to register some function and add code to handle them. Here is the code to be used to register, put it in the beginning of the cpp file, above the constructor: + + +#include <klocale.h> //for i18n + +#include "kommanderplugin.h" +#include "specials.h" + +enum Functions { + FirstFunction = 1159, + Function1, + Function2, + LastFunction +}; +KomLineEdit::KomLineEdit(QWidget *a_parent, const char *a_name) + : KLineEdit(a_parent, a_name), KommanderWidget(this) +{ + ... //code like described above + KommanderPlugin::setDefaultGroup(Group::DCOP); + KommanderPlugin::registerFunction(Function1, "function1(QString widget, QString arg1, int arg2)", i18n("Call function1 with two arguments, second is optional."), 2, 3); + KommanderPlugin::registerFunction(function2, "function2(QString widget)", i18n("Get a QString as a result of function2."), 1); +} + +This registers two functions: function1 and function2. The number assigned to the functions (here 1160 and 1161) must be unique, not used in any other plugin or +inside &kommander;. function1 takes two arguments, one is optional, function2 takes no argument and returns a string. The QString widget argument in the signatures notes that this functions work on a widget, like: KomLineEdit.function1("foo", 1). + +To teach &kommander; that the widget supports these functions, add a method like this: + + +bool KomLineEdit::isFunctionSupported(int f) +{ + return (f > FirstFunction && f < LastFunction) || f == DCOP::text; +} + +This means that KomLineEdit supports the above functions and the standard text +function. +The function code should be handled inside the handleDCOP method: + + +QString KomLineEdit::handleDCOP(int function, const QStringList& args) +{ + switch (function) + { + case function1: + handleFunction1(arg[0], arg[1].toInt()); //call your function1 handler + break; + case function2: + return handleFunction2(); //call function2 + break; + case DCOP::text: + return text(); //call the standard KLineEdit::text() method + break; + default: + return KommanderWidget::handleDCOP(function, args); + } + return QString::null; +} + +There are cases when the widget should appear differently in the editor than in +the executor, like the case of ScriptObjects, about dialog, etc. The usual solution is to show a QLabel instead of the widget. For this, your widget must +derive from QLabel, and use this in the constructor: + + + if (KommanderWidget::inEditor) + { + setPixmap(KGlobal::iconLoader()->loadIcon("iconname", KIcon::NoGroup, KIcon::SizeMedium)); + setFrameStyle(QFrame::Box | QFrame::Plain); + setLineWidth(1); + setFixedSize(pixmap()->size()); + } + else + setHidden(true); + +You can create the widget itself (if you need a widget at all, maybe your +"widget" provides only functionality to access e.g databases) in one of your +functions, like in the execute function. Here is an example from the AboutDialog widget: + + +QString AboutDialog::handleDCOP(int function, const QStringList& args) +{ + switch (function) { + ... + case DCOP::execute: + { + if (m_aboutData) + { + KAboutApplication dialog(m_aboutData, this); + dialog.exec(); + } + break; + } + ... +} + +You now have a complete &kommander; widget. All that's left +to do is make it available to the &kommander; system via plugins. + + + + + +Create the &kommander; plugin + +All of the widgets in &kommander; are provided by plugins. +The standard widgets are loaded as widget plugins, but the &kommander; editor +is also linked against this library because certain mechanisms in the editor +are tied specifically to the standard widgets. + + +A plugin in &kommander; is simply a shared library that has the symbol +'kommander_plugin'. This symbol is a function returning a pointer +to an instance of a KommanderPlugin class. + + +&kommander; makes it easy to create a plugin for you widgets, so you don't +need to worry about this low level stuff. The basic idea is to derive +a new plugin class for your widgets from the KommanderPlugin base class +and implement a few specific details. A template code is generated by the above described KDevelop project template. + +The following code continues on our example of creating a Kommander line edit +widget. + + +#include <kommanderplugin.h> + +/* WIDGET INCLUDES */ +#include "komlineedit.h" + + + +First thing we do is include kommanderplugin.h. This contains the definition +of the KommanderPlugin class. We also include all header files of the widgets +this plugin provides - only komlineedit.h in this case. + + +class MyKomPlugin : public KommanderPlugin +{ +public: + MyKomPlugin(); + virtual QWidget *create( const QString &className, QWidget *parent = 0, const char *name = 0 ); +}; + + +We then create a KommanderPlugin sub-class called MyKomPlugin. +This class simply has a constructor and an overridden create method. + + +MyKomPlugin::MyKomPlugin() +{ + addWidget( "KomLineEdit", "My Widget Group", i18n("A Kommander line edit widget") new QIconSet(KGlobal::iconLoader()->loadIcon("iconname", KIcon::NoGroup, KIcon::SizeMedium))); + //add my other widgets here +} + +In the constructor of the plugin, we call addWidget() for each widget we wish +to provide in this plugin. addWidget() takes 6 arguments but only the first 4 +are required. In order, the arguments are the widget's class name, group, +tool tip, an iconset for the icon used in the editor toolbar, what's this information, and a bool indicating whether the widget +is a container for other widgets or not. This information is used +by the editor when grouping your widget in menus, providing help information +etc. + + +Regarding the icon, the above example loads a medium sized icon called iconname from the standard &kde; icon location. + + +QWidget *MyKomPlugin::create( const QString &className, QWidget *parent, const char *name ) +{ + if( className == "KomLineEdit" ) + return new KomLineEdit( parent, name ); + //create my other widgets here + return 0; +} + + +create() is where instances of our widgets actually get created. +Whenever &kommander; wants an instance of one of the classes provided +by our plugin, it will call create() with the name of the class it wants, +and the parent and name that should be used. +If the className matches any widget we know about, we return a new instance +of that class but otherwise we return 0. + + +Finally, we export our plugin. This just provides an entry point to our +plugin so the &kommander; system can get access to it. Without this, +&kommander; will not recognize your library as a &kommander; plugin. + + +KOMMANDER_EXPORT_PLUGIN(MyKomPlugin) + + +To compile your new &kommander; extension, you should compile all files +as a shared library, linking against the kommanderplugin, kommanderwidget +and any appropriate KDE libraries. +With the line edit example, if we had komlineedit.h, komlineedit.cpp and +mykomplugin.cpp, compiling and installing your plugin would involve +something similar to the following commands: + + +libtool --mode=compile g++ -$KDEDIR/include -IQTDIR/include \ + -I. -fPIC -c komlineedit.cpp +libtool --mode=compile g++ -$KDEDIR/include -IQTDIR/include \ + -I. -fPIC -c mykomplugin.cpp + +libtool --mode=link g++ -shared -L$KDEDIR/lib -lkdeui -lkommanderwidget \ + -lkommanderplugin komlineedit.cppkomlineedit.o mykomplugin.o + -o libmykomplugin.so + + +If you want to install new plugin system-wide, root, use: + + +su -c "cp libmykomplugin.so $KDEDIR/lib" + +If you use the KDevelop project generator, you will not need to do the above, but instead adapt the Makefile.am to link against extra libraries. By default, it will link to &Qt; and &kde; libraries and generate all the needed object files. Just run make to build, and su -c make install to install. + + +Configure the installed plugins + +Now that the plugin is installed, run the kmdr-plugins program or choose Settings->Configure Plugins from the Editor. The list in this program displays the +plugins that are currently loaded by &kommander;. Add the new plugin to the +list by clicking the Add button in the toolbar and choosing your plugin. +Closing the program saves changes. + + +If you now restart the &kommander; editor, the widgets your new plugin +provides should be available in the menus and toolbars. You can +now use your new widgets in &kommander; dialogs. + + + +Add the widget directly to &kommander; +This section is for &kommander; developers and describes how to add a new widget directly to &kommander;. + +Ironically, this one is more complicated, especially if the widget needs +extra editing methods. +First you create the widget like above. After that you need to register the +widget to the editor and the executor. +To register it inside the editor, add it to editor/widgetdatabase.cpp: + + +... +#include "mywidget.h" +... +void WidgetDatabase::setupDataBase( int id ) +{ + ... + r = new WidgetDatabaseRecord; + r->name = "MyWidgetName"; + r->iconName = "icon.png"; + r->group = widgetGroup( "Kommander" ); + r->toolTip = i18n("My new widget"); + append(r); + ... +} + + +You need to add to the editor/widgetfactory.cpp as well: + + +... +#include "mywidget.h" +... +QWidget *WidgetFactory::createWidget( const QString &className, QWidget *parent, const char *name, bool init, + const QRect *r, Qt::Orientation orient ) +{ + ... + else if (className == "MyWidgetName") + return new MyWidget(parent, name); + ... +} + + +To register to the executor (actually to the plugin system), add this to +widgets/plugin.cpp: + + +KomStdPlugin::KomStdPlugin() +{ + ... + addWidget("MyWidgetName", group, "", new QIconSet(KGlobal::iconLoader()->loadIcon("iconname", KIcon::NoGroup, KIcon::SizeMedium))); + ... +} + +This is similar to how the widget is registered via the plugin system in the +first case. + + + + + diff --git a/doc/kommander/frame.png b/doc/kommander/frame.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..e9fd684d Binary files /dev/null and b/doc/kommander/frame.png differ diff --git a/doc/kommander/glossary.docbook b/doc/kommander/glossary.docbook new file mode 100644 index 00000000..b8434888 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/kommander/glossary.docbook @@ -0,0 +1,39 @@ + + + + + + + +Tamara +King +

+ + + + + + + + +Introduction + + +&kommander; is a visual dialog building tool which can be used to create +full mainwindow applications, provided the window is initially created in Qt Designer +or from a template in &kommander;. The primary objective is to create as much +functionality as possible with the absolute minimum use of scripting. This is +provided by the following features: + +Please note this document includes legacy documentation for compatibility reasons. In a nutshell &kommander; offers extremely rapid development and extensive abilities and capabilities. Following is a new list, followed by the legacy content. + + + +Capable internal scripting - &kommander; now offers nested logic structures, simple arrays and useful functions + + +Function Browsers - One never need know exact syntax for any function or command, just click the button and point and click your way to a functional program. Even the project lead finds it easier than typos much of the time. + + +Extensive widgets - &kommander; now has a tree/detail widget, spreadsheet like table widget, font dialog, color dialog, about dialog, timer, tab widgets, toolbox, popup menus, date picker and a lot more. + + +Plugins - &kommander; can run easy to create plugins. Plugins as of this writing are a database plugin offering a set of non visual tools, an HTTP plugin offering HTTPS and access to password protected areas and a KPart loader. + + +Scripting language support - The ability to run multiple scripting language in &kommander; scripts, inside your dialog + + +KPart creation - the ability to make your own plugins... and stranger yet you can even make a &kommander; window load a dialog as a KPart and directly access it with &kommander; functions! + + +Look for documentation on tips and tricks like how to make &kommander; fake programming techniques like including a file, creating and using custom widgets, making collapsable panels in windows and other unexpected tricks. Below is our legacy list. + + + +Specials are prefaced with an @ like @widgetText. The offer +special features like the value of a widget, functions, aliases, global +variables and such. + + +&DCOP; integration allows &kommander; dialogs to control and be +controlled in interactions with other &kde; applications. It is a very powerful +feature! + +Signals and Slots is a little less intuitive to a new user. It is +under review for how we process things in the first major release. These +offer a limited event model for when a button is pushed or a widget is +changed. Combined with Population Text it is rather powerful. + + + +The central key feature of &kommander; dialogs is that you can bind text +(&kommander; Text) to a widget. So if you have @widget1 and @widget2 and +they are line edits you can set &kommander; to show their contents by +entering @widgetText in their &kommander; Text area. Then enter hello in +@widget1 and world in @widget2. A button can have the string +My first @widget1 @widget2 program in &kommander; +If you run this dialog from a console it will output +My first hello world program in &kommander; + + + +Hopefully you begin to see a small glimmering of the potential. &kommander; +enables a much faster design model for simple applications because if allows +you to stop thinking so much about language and revert to the more basic and +natural conceptual model. In computers language is a means to define concepts +and as such it is a layer between concept and implementation that can impede +progress with minutia. &kommander; seeks to minimize that layer. + + + +&kommander; also seeks to build on standards. It is built on the &Qt; Designer +framework and creates *.ui files which it renames to *.kmdr. It can easily +import any &kde; widget and this can be done without having to rebuild +&kommander;, by using plugins. + + + +&kommander;'s other significant factor is how it addresses the requirements of +language. Computer languages can be wonderful things but they tend to have +their own dogmas and zealots often seeking to provide an advance to &GUI; +design in an integrated development environment. Ironically the acceptance +of such &IDE;s is limited by the number of people willing to adopt a new new +language to gain access to a desired feature. It is really not reasonable to +expect people to need to change over to a dozen languages to access various +feature sets. By being language neutral and allowing a &kommander; dialog to be +extended by using any scripting language &kommander; positions itself in a +unique position for wide spread adoption. Multiple script languages can be +used in a single dialog and applications can be taken over by people using +a different language than the original developer and gradually converting +and extending it. New widgets and features can be instantly leveraged by all +available languages. + + + +We hope that &kommander; begins to get the developer support and recognition +required to achieve the potential it offers. Our end goal is to make &kommander; +useful for novice users to extend and merge their applications. At the same +time it should become a good prototyping tool. Also it opens the door to the +promise of open source in a new way. We know that people can extend our GPL'd +programs, but the fact remains very few have the skills. With &kommander; those +numbers see a huge multiplier! Some applications may be most logical as a +&kommander; application. We already use it in areas we want to allow +extensibility in &quantaplus;. + + + +We hope you enjoy &kommander;. Please help us with bug reports and example +dialogs, as well as any requests you may have.

+ + + + + +2005-2008 +Michal Rudolf +Eric Laffoon + +&FDLNotice; + + +New Parser Documentation + +The new parser was introduced in &kommander; with version 1.2, released with +KDE 3.4. This document was originally released to show all the features of new parser. +As of &kommander; 1.3, released with KDE 3.5.9, the new parser is now the default, except for MainWindow applications created in &Qt; Designer. Because +the new parser is so much richer in ability, overcomes the limitations of nesting in the +old parser and adds so many new features we strongly recommend using it. + + +&kommander; itself will not be described here. Please refer to other documents to +see what is &kommander; for, how to create dialogs and how to manipulate widgets +on runtime. + + + +Old parser + +Here we compare the two parsers. While we advocate the new one for most purposes the old one is still +supported and useful, particularly when working with other scripting languages. + + + +Old parser + +The old parser was in fact macro parser. Only strings beginning with @ were +recognized, locally parsed and expanded. + +@LineEdit1.setText(@ListBox.selection) + + + + +All the underlying functionality (local variables, expressions, file manipulation) +had to be done in another scripting language, such as Bash. While the intent with &kommander; is to support +all other scripting languages, and this is presently possible to some degree, there +was a need for a fast, native scripting language that was assured to be portable. +The biggest problem with the old parser is that the &kommander; specials are evaluated before the code is passed to the scripting language, making them impossible to use in loops and conditions. + +The developers considered bash slow and not friendly to new users, and the old parser +had been initially bash calling DCOP. The paradox for &kommander; being language neutral +resulted in a need to do more than just functions natively. + + + + +New parser + +The new parser is a full parser. It parses the whole script, not just functions. As we were interested +in GUI interaction, not the proliferation of scripting languages, we made compromises. +As a result you should find &kommander;'s scripting to be capable for most basic tasks +and natural and easy to use. There is also the Function Browser, which will help you +assemble statements. The Function Browser is intended to make &kommander; accessible to complete novice +programmers. It is similar to what you would find in KSpread to help you choose a function +and fill in the parameters. +If you want enhanced functionality found in other languages you can include +them in &kommander; script objects headed with a shebang. While in these scripts the Function +Browser will help you insert references to widgets. Just remember when using this functionality +that the parser makes one pass for the old parser functions and one pass for your script. So if you +try to change something in a widget and read it in the middle of a script you may not get what you expect. + +#!/usr/bin/php + + +The following feature list is from version 1.2 + +local and global variables and associative arrays +numerical expressions +string manipulation +various structure commands: if, while, for, foreach +most functions from old parser +direct widget manipulation +many additional functions +decent execution speed +receive parameters from signals in script slots + +This list is from version 1.3 + +pass parameters and receive them with script execute calls +return a value from a script +create widgets on the fly +connect signals and slots on the fly +use a variable alias for a widget name +simple indexed array functions +directly access a widgets slots + + + + +Invoking new parser + +To enable new parser, set useInternalParser property of the dialog to +true. You can also enable new parser in a single script by putting + +#!kommander + +on the first line of the script. Also note if you are using another scripting language in +a script with a shebang that &kommander; automatically enables the old parser for interacting +with the dialog. + +#!/bin/bash +echo @Self.item(0) +# returns first parameter passed to script +# echo $returnvalue passes back to calling script + + + + + + +New Parser Features + + +Types + +Each value is of one of three types: string, integer or double. Type conversion is +automatic and chooses most appropriate type (for example, if you add double to integer, +result will be double). If one of the values is string, result will be string too. + +Places you can get into trouble here are getting a numerical value from a widget +and trying to perform a mathematical function on it. Since &kommander; uses + +to concatonate two strings of text it can treat LineEdit1.text + 2 as +22 instead of 2. See the conversion functions in +String functions to avoid problems. + + + + +Expressions + +The following mathematical operators are supported: +, -, *, mod, . Standard brackets +are of course supported as well. + + + +All kinds of comparisons are supported: <, >, <=, +>=, ==, !=. Instead of +!= you can also use <>. +Also, logical operators and, or, not +are supported, as well as their C equivalents (&&, ||, !). + + + +For strings you can use + operator for string concatenation. + + + +Some examples of valid expressions: + +2+3 +-5 * (2 - 13 mod 3) +"This list has " + 12 + "items." + + + + + +Variables + +Variables don't need to be declared. Once you use variable, it is considered declared. +Type of a variable is recognized automatically and can be changed later. + + + +Associative arrays are supported as well. They map string keys onto values of any type. To declare +such array, you can just add some element to it, for example: A["Quanta"] = "Web editor". +Arrays are also handled by foreach command and +array functions. + + + +Local and global variables are supported. Global variables are marked by leading underscore. +So, myVar is a local variable, but _myVar is global. The same applies +to arrays. + + + +a = 5 +b = 2 * 5 - (a + 1) +c = "[Item " + b + "]" +d["MyKey"] = "MyValue" +d["MyKey2"] = 5 + + + +Using variables for widgets works much as you would expect. This is useful when looping widgets into a table. + + + +for i=0 to 10 do + mycombo = "ComboTable"+i + createWidget(mycombo, "ComboBox", "Form1") +end + + + + +Comments + +You can use comments in &kommander; using the two traditional program language comment forms for line comments. For those users who are new to programming wondering what traditional form? see below. You can copy and paste the text below into a button or dialog initialization and see how comments behave in action. + + +// this is a comment for one line +message_info("Hello World") //traditional first program +// the above comment also ignored - the messagebox is not +# this is also a comment +message_info("This message will show") + + +Using the following multi-line comment will not work and will cause the rest of the widget execution to fail. + + +/* +Hi, I was supposed to be a comment +None of the script after this will execute +DON'T USE THIS TYPE OF COMMENT IN KOMMANDER! +*/ + + + + +Built in Globals + +&kommander; has some built in globals you may find handy. + + + +_ARGS - the argument string passed to the dialog on opening + + +_ARGCOUNT - the count of arguments passed.

Let's look at scripts. Call your script like: +result = ScriptObject1.execute("Hello World") +debug(result) +Inside your script you might have the following +var = str_upper(Self.Item(0)) +return(var) +Now you will get a return in your Stderr message log of HELLO WORLD + +Receiving a signal connected to a script slot works the same way. Self.Item(0) is parameter one and so on. You can retrieve the count of arguments passed with ScriptObject.count. + +Command line parameters allow for named or unnamed arguments. Unnamed look like +kmdr-executor myprog.kmdr 100 red +Where you will find _ARG1 = 100 and _ARG2 = red. One quirk is passing strings with spaces as an argument means they need to be quoted. Using the dialog command complicates matters as the entire argument string must pass as one string, meaning in quotes. +dialog("mydialog.kmdr", 100+" \"Hello World\"") +This returns _ARG1 = 100 and _ARG2 = Hello World. Without the escaped quotes you would have _ARG2 = Hello and _ARG3 = World. Using Named Parameters is rather nice and potentially less confusing. +dialog("mydialog.kmdr", "xcount=100 xquote=Hello world") +And now you access those with _xcount and _xquote global variables. + + +DCOP can be complex, which is why we recommend using the tools we develop to enable creating DCOP for remote &kommander; dialogs with something like a function browser. Here is an example DCOP call issued from a dialog opened from a parent &kommander; window. Since it knows who its parent is it can send information back while it is open and freely access all its parent's functionality with the exception of slots. Of course that can be done internally with a script which can be called externally, so in practice there is no limit to what can be done. +dcop("kmdr-executor-"+parentPid, "KommanderIf", "setText(QString,QString)", "StatusBar8", "Hello") +Let's look at this piece by piece. First of all we add parentPid to "kmdr-executor-" as we make no assumption a &kommander; window was the caller. You could use this with Quanta or KSpread or whatever. Next we are addressing KommanderIf, which is a nice interface for end users which has been cleaned up. We hope eventually as KDE moves from DCOP to DBUS on KDE4 that more applications adopt a nice interface for integration. The next parameter, "setText(QString,QString)" is important because it prototypes the parameters allowed. Otherwise &kommander; could not validate the call. So without a definition of the DCOP call being used you will get an error. The remaining parameters are of course what is being passed. We recommend you look at applications with kdcop to see how this works and practice dcop calls from the shell to get your syntax right. + + + + + + +Commands + +Various structure commands are supported. They can be freely nested. + + + +There are also three special commands: exit, break and continue. +The first one ends script execution and returns. The second exits current block (while, +for or foreach and the third exits just a current step, restarting +from the beginning of the loop. + + + + +if + +Command if has following syntax: + + + +if condition then +code elseif condition +then code else +code endif + + + +Both elseif and else parts are optional.

You can then place it in a table or toolbox, for example and use mywidget.show(true) to make it visible. If you are putting an new widget on the form you need to consider layout issues. &kommander; will not create layouts on the fly or edit pixel by pixel positioning (in most cases). This is confusing even in C++ development. We recommend you use a groupbox and do a layout in the dialog +for best control. + + +connect(sender, signal, receiver, slot) - connect a widget signal to a widget slot. See the connection dialog and select similar widgets for possibilities. If for instance a signal looks like looks like execute(const QString&) that is exactly what must be in quotes there. + + +disconnect(sender, signal, receiver, slot) - undo the connection as listed above. Again, exact syntax is essential. + + +widgetExists(widgetname) - remember you can use a variable name to reference a widget now. Use this when accessing created widgets to insure they are there. Calling a non-existant widget obviously will throw an error. + + + + + +Array functions + +Most array functions are supported; some (such as value) +were obsoleted by new parser and are not available. The only difference is that their names +are preceeded by array_ instead of @Array. + + +Due to parser limitation, name of array has to be specified as string now; for example +array_count("MyArray"). + + + +array_clear(array) - removes all elements from array + + +array_count(array) - returns number of elements in array + + +array_keys(array) - returns string containing EOL-separated keys of array - note that if you had imported a scalar (keys without values, see below for an example) into an array with &kommander; you would not be able to access it with array_values("myarray") as you might think (since it seems to only have values) but would instead need to use array_keys("myarray"). You might find a better choice for this is to use the new indexed arrays described below. + + +array_values(array) - returns string containing EOL-separated values of array + + +array_tostring(array) - returns string containing whole array +as EOL-separated pairs containing key and value separated with TAB character + + +array_fromstring(array, string) - reads array from string (usually provided by array_tostring function) + + +array_remove(array, key) - removes item with key +key from array + + +Here is an example for array manipulation: + +array_fromstring("myArray", "1\tA\nsecond\tB\n3\tC") +foreach key in myArray do + debug("myArray[" + key + "]= " + myArray[key]) +end + +This will print out the following to the stderr. It is visible that there is no guarantee about the order of array elements, as well that the keys are strings, not numbers. + +myArray[1]= A +myArray[3]= C +myArray[second]= B + +Another example for keyless arrays: + +array_fromstring("myArray", "A\nB\nC") +foreach key in myArray do + debug(key) +end +debug("Array elements:\n" + array_keys("myArray")) + +This results in: + +A +B +C +Array elements: +A +B +C + + +New in &kommander; 1.3 + + +array_indexedFromString(array, string, separator) - this compensates for &kommander; not having indexed arrays. it creates an array with a zero based sequential index. Remember to use quotes on the array name and any strings not represented by a variable. The separator argument is optional and defaults to "\t" [TAB] which is used to separate fields reading and writing tables, arrays or detail widgets. Remember this array index does not enforce any rules on its self. It is just like you created it with a for loop, just more convenient. + + +array_indexedInsertElements(array, key, string, separator) - this function is part of the indexed array suite and enables you to insert elements in your array while maintaining an index that is sequential, contiguous and unique. Set the index key to start at and the text string and how it is separated. The elements will be added shifting all the index numbers after by the number added. + + +array_indexedRemoveElements(array, key start, number) - this enables you to remove elements from an indexed array and avoid gaps in your index. Specify the key to start at and optionally how many to remove. The default is one. You will end up with a re-indexed array less the removed elements. + + +array_indexedToString(array, separator) - this enables you to convert your indexed array back into a string, particularly useful for detail widgets. For instance if you are displaying a database query result in TreeWidget1 and it has six columns you can use TreeWidget1.selection to get the selected row. it will be separated by tabs and you could look at a the fifth element by using str_section(TreeWidget1.selection, "\t", 4) (remember it is zero based). That's nice for reading a value, but if you want to change it you can see you have a lot more work to do. After you split that string you have to reassemble with val1+"\t"+val2... Using indexed arrays you could edit that fifth element like so... + +idx = TreeWidget1.currentItem +array_indexedFromString("z", TreeWidget1.selection) +z[4] = "new value" +TreeWidget1.removeItem(idx) +TreeWidget1.insertItem(array_indexedToString("z"), idx) + +Note that only two short lines were added to accomplish this!

 + + + + + + + +Tips on use &kommander; +In this section we go beyond listing widgets to actually using &kommander;. If you want to have a good experience you will find this section very helpful. + + +Using the Editor + +At first glance the editor looks pretty obvious, and in many ways it is. Click on the icon to create a new form, then click a widget and click or click and drag on the form. There are the widget handles that will be familiar to anyone who ever put a picture in a word processing document. What is less obvious are the little things. One thing to mention up front is widget naming. Names must be unique and &kommander; employs a naming scheme of the formal widget name and a number unique to that widget type. You can rename a widget and &kommander; will not allow a duplicate name. However if you build a complex dialog and decide to start renaming you're going to have problems. Signals and slots will manage naming for you and any widget you change will be reflected in the signals and slots connections. Unfortunately we never got this feature in the widget functions. So ever call to that widget will be wrong. You could close the dialog and open it in a text editor like KWrite and do find and replace. A better solution is to start out with some idea what kind of descriptive names you want to give to key widgets. It may be a waste of time naming Labels, but scripts and container widgets for data quickly prove a real mistake not to name. You can also set icons for scripts making them even quicker to visually identify. + + + + +Editor Tools + +The first thing you will notice is a properties window, generally docked on the left. Explore this! Here you will find many useful settings for forms and widgets. Some of them would be layout settings, icons, if something is active, text and more. For instance if you put a TreeWidget in a form you can change the default path separator, which is useful if you have data in there. It's easy for a slash to create a sub-item accidentally. Here you will also find selection modes, whether to highlight the whole row in multi column widgets and more. Before you assune something is just how &kommander; is check this. + + +If you play with layouts and lose a widget behind another or off the form the object explorer will come in handy. It's also nice for seeing structure. The next very useful view is the log view which shows stdout and stderr. The error view is indispensable. This is where your debug() commands prints and where you get detailed information. For instance when using the database plugin this gives you additional information with data errors. It also shows you all shell calls and more. The Stdout view lets you see what would go to the shell or an application using this like Quanta. The dialog view is of little use unless you have a lot of dialogs open. The Action view is only active with MainWindow use and in that case it is the only way to add Actions, menu and toolbar items. + + + + +Adding Custom Tools + +&kommander; makes it easy to add custom tools, which you can develop in &kommander;, to the editor. We will be shipping some with &kommander; as well as making some available for download. You can add your own easily. First have a look and see where they are. If they are installed they are on the tools menu below the splitter. The &kommander; menu offers access to widgets. The Custom menu offers access to installed plugins. The Editor menu is where your custom tools go. To manually add a tool first decide if you are going to make it available system wide or just to your desktop. System wide start from the directory KDE is installed in. For your desktop user start in the hidden KDE directory in your home directory, usually ~/kde. From either the path is/share/apps/kmdr-editor/editor/ If the dialog you add needs access to tools or files you can put them in a subdirectory. Whatever &kommander; dialogs you put there will be recognized and added to your menu on startup. Clicking the menu will load the dialog. You will note there is a templates directory there too and you can add templates for new dialogs. + + + + +Included custom tools + +Several tools are included with this release, already installed on the tools meu under editor. More tools are under development for project management, database front end development, code snippets and more. The most imporant and useful tool to look for is the examples dialog. As the editor is no longer under development for KDE3 it cannot insert a dialog in the current editor, but it will open any selected dialog in a new instance of the editor. There are old dialogs from the early days of &kommander;, tutorials from more recent development and the current section showing new features of this release. Looking at these should help. Keep an eye on our web site for more. + + + + +Using Layout + +People love to share &kommander; dialogs. Almost without fail they don't know about laying them out. Make a dialog and then try resizing it and see what happens. Wouldn't it be nice if it behaved like it should instead of leaving your widgets the same? It gets worse when you share it and differences in fonts, monitor size and X pixel resolution conspire to make your masterpiece look like it was put together by a three year old using bubblegum and thumbtacks. Always, always always... Lay out your dialogs! + + +Okay, you're sold you don't want a frustrated email from me asking you to please layout your dialog. How do you do it. There are layout buttons on the toolbar and the context menu. Since &kommander; is based on an older version of Qt Designer you can look at Qt Designer docs and tutorials here. I'm just going to mention a few basics and a few tips. + + +Use the Grid. This will place everything in a best guess location +Remember containers are separate. A TabWidget, GroupBox or layout group has it's own layout. So don't forget the window. +Widgets that are not visible during execution can make layout seem more challenging. What to do with them? I recommend grouping them in their own layour next to or below your main layout. Your visible widgets will simply push these aside and give you a predictable result. +Look at your properties were you can set a widget to expand or do other things as well as minimum and maximum size. A little experimentation will teach you a lot. You can also set a tighter spacing here, + +And now for a few tricks and tips. + +Along with basic layout you can use splitters. When your dialog is running you can drag the splitter up and down or right and left to get a better look at things. It may look like there is a limitation here or it doesn't work. It works and has no limitations. Just make sure to put multiple widgets into two layouts and make sure when you click or right click to get the layout and not just a child widget. You are free to create a maze of splitters as long as you adhere to the rules. +Fake docs are possible! Create a GroupBox and drop widgets on it. Position it in your layout so that when it's invisible other widgets/layouts will expand to take it's place. Now toggle it's visibility with a button or menu. +ToolBox tricks - The Toolbox has an editor bug where you can't add widget panels in the editor without it going nuts. As a result you need to add them at run time. However it looks for one widget and if you want something complex you should use a groupbox and lay it out. then layout your dialog with the groupbox at the outside, even if it goes off the edge of the window. Now load it on initialization into the ToolBox. Your window layout will snap into place. +Layout glitches can occur where widgets set to something like Minimum/Expanding can end up obscured before you complete layout on the window. The layout system will honor your oddness and can be shrunk to obscure scrollbars and more. Make sure all is visible before finishing layout and consider not using minimum in that case. + +For more on this look up the Qt Designer docs for Qt 3.x. + + + +Signals and Slots + +One of the very useful features inherited from Qt Designer was signals and slots. Of course the interface has been redesigned in an attempt to make it friendly to &kommander;. Signals and slots are internal event control for Qt/KDE applications. We try to make it so you don't have to know the difference between C++ data types, but if you use the new function to create connections on the fly it is handy to be able to copy that information from the connection tool. Let's look at what all this means. Something happens in one of you widgets. It could be click on, double clicked, have it's value changed, something selected or a menu could be requested. That is just some of the possible events that would enable a signal to be sent. You may want to change the list in a ListBox if a new selection is made in a ComboBox. That's a useful feature in a sophisticated application and the only way to do it without having to press a button next is to have a signal connected to a slot. That slot could be in a script or button. When the slot receives the signal it goes about doing what it was told. There is a tool to edit these connections. Pay attention when do this as there are a good number of inherited signals and slots. Telling a script which is invisible when the dialog is run to adjust it's size by accident when you meant to execute will have you wondering what happened. + + +To access the connection tool you can open it by right clicking anywhere on the dialog and selecting it. Click the menu and you will see a list of connections made at the bottom. Above that are two lists of signals and slots and above them the respective sender and receiver are selected. An easy way to make connections is visually. Look at the toolbar or the Tools menu. There are three items grouped there. A pointer, signals and slot connections and the tab order or widgets. Selecting this sets connection mode for the curios. Click on your widget to send the signal and drag it to your widget to receive it in a slot. As you do this you will see a line and drop indications on the widget under the mouse. The StatusBar on the Editor will tell you what is being connected. + +In version 1.3 there is a &kommander; function connect() which allows you to connect signals and slots on the fly. This is useful if you just used createWidget. Obviously you can't use the dialog for something &kommander; doesn't yet know exists. Unfortunately there are too many combinations to list so you have to type out signals and slots. These must be typed verbatim or they will fail. This is where the connection tool is handy again. Open it and select two widgets like the two you want to connect and read the connection information. if it says execute(const QString&) that is exactly what you must type. + + + +Slot Functions + +As of version 1.3 &kommander; adds Slot functions. You can see this in the Function Browser, which is uncharacteristicly less than friendly with descriptions here. What &kommander; is doing is reading every slot registered for a given widget and making it available directly. This is very useful. For instance the Table widget doesn't have a default method to auto adjust column width. You may find this annoying, but if you look under slots there it is. The TextEdit is also lacking in built in functions for any real editing, but look under slots and there is anything you could wish for. You may have to reference some docs or just experiment. It is simply too difficult to document every slot available in builtin widgets and plugins. Most slots however are self explanatory. + + + + + +Basic Tutorials + +Most of the information in this section is based on example dialogs some time ago, which unfortunately were not widely available as they were shipped with the source, but not installed. You should find them in your tools menu under examples in the tutorial section. Keep in mind most of these particular examples use the old parser. That is neither good nor bad. Most of the functionality in &kommander; is shared in both parsers. It's just each is particularly suited to do a better job with a given task. As &kommander; now defaults to the new parser you can set either one. Please see the New Parser docs for more information on the two parsers. + + +When examining example dialogs remember to look in the following places to see how things are done. + + +Dialog Initialization - middle click on the dialog face or right click and select &kommander; Text. Here you see what is run when the dialog starts. +Buttons - middle click the button, or right click.

+ + + + + +Current Examples + +These examples reflect the most recent development state of &kommander;. In its current state &kommander; has few limitations for developing small to medium applications. It certainly is not suitable for building a KWord clone, but for a simple editor, database frontend, GUI for commandline programs or any application in the spirit of Unix/Linux small applications it is a good choice. The examples presented here are intended to show the potential as well as how to work around limitations. There are some useful tricks included in these if you want to do a more capable small application with &kommander;. Remember &kommander; is not intended to do everything, but to do most things. For this concession you should be able to build something in &kommander; faster than other alternatives ad add GUI to scripting languages not otherwise supported in KDE. + + +The examples are installed to $KDEDIR/share/apps/kmdr-editor/editor. In case you do not have them there, get from our home page, by downloading the latest release. + + + + +editor-poc.kmdr + +The little dialog that grew into a Mainwindow. As &kommander; does not have a native MainWindow widget it has been assumed it only does dialogs. In fact only dialogs are officially supported... but you can run MainWindows in &kommander;. This is an example editor. If you want to create a MainWindow application in &kommander; just open Qt Designer and make one, save it and rename the *.ui file to a *.kmdr file. Now open it in &kommander; and do what you would do normally. + +As of this writing what is known not to work on the &kommander; side is the settings read and write. There is no Initialize or Destroy section as there is no &kommander; Text, however there are signals for this on the window, so the functionality is intact. On the MainWindow side it is not possible to talk to any actions via DCOP as these are QActions from Designer and KActions are not derived from QActions in KDE 3.x. This means a DCOP call to list actions or set states will not work. It is also not possible to talk to the Statusbar. Also submenus on the menubar and dropdown actions on the Toolbar will not work. Even though this is not a &kommander; widget, or officicially supported, it seems suitable for many small application uses. + +There is a quick help dialog this editor launches that discusses in depth what is happening inside. + + + + +kevaluecombo.kmdr + +&kommander; can be used with databases and has an optional database plugin. One shortcoming is not being able to store key/value pairs in the ComboBox. An ingenious trick was realized for this. It requires only that the content of the ComboBox not be changed unless it is done using the arrays that go with it. As this is commonly used with SQL in small data sets it's quite fast even to reload the whole Combobox. The inherent problem is that &kommander; does not have internally indexed arrays by default. This is compounded by the fact that to accommodate shell commands that return lines separated by newlines &kommander;'s array functions will load what is effectively an array of keys. Such an array can only be accessed with a foreach loop. This is the reason new indexed array functions were added. It is important to remember that these arrays are not self maintaining, but their insert and delete functions will help you. + + +Getting back to the ComboBox, it will return selected text, but it also will return the current index. It does rigidly maintain a contiguous zero based array. That's the key. We loop through a data set with a zero based index counter and create two arrays, as &kommander; also cannot create arrays of arrays. It can however use an array value to represent a key just like any value could. .If you look at the included dialog the code actually managing this is in ScriptObject36. We will extract the key code here. + + +c = ListBox1.count-1 +for i = 0 to c do + array_indexedFromString("x", ListBox1.item(i)) + _a[x[0]] = x[1] + _b[i] = x[0] + ComboBox10.insertItem(_a[_b[i]], i) +end + + +There is more going on, like checking for duplicate keys, but this is the core. You can right click on the ListBox and try menu items. The net result is that it is using keyed index by proxy and returning both the key and the value. Use this code if you want to be 100% certain your key/value relationship is accurate. + + + + +Kpart demo + +As of Kommander 1.3 Kommander automatically makes KParts using the libkommander_part.la. In addition to this there is a KPart plugin which allows Kommander to load plugins. Being curious developers we tried loading a Kommander part into Kommander. Why do that? Why not? The results were interesting and are demonstrated here. One interesting thing is the parent part can directly access all of the child part. While this is handy it has a down side. Any child widget being called with the same name as a parent widget will cause a lock up! In addition to that the DCOP interface is generated all over again for the part which wipes out the parent interface and disables most of the old parser functionality as well as Kommander specific DCOP to the parent. This is too difficult to fix for the remaining life of the KDE3 version. Even with these limitations and cautions this can be useful, if used carefully. The example files to look at this are in the current examples as kpartmwframe.kmdr and kpartpart.kmdr. Remember you will need the KPart plugin to fully run this example. + + +You can also load KMail, KOrganizer and many other KDE applications right into Kommander, of course without the problems. KHTML and KDE's file manager widgets seem not to have some functionality but there is a special KHTML plugin if you really want to incorporate a browser. + + + +passvariables.kmdr + +As of &kommander; 1.3 you can pass and return variables with scripts. This dialog demonstrates that. Look carefully at the content of the buttons. You will see that neither button directly writes to any of the LineEdit boxes receiving text from the script. While one is written directly from the script another is written with the content passed from the button. The third is not written at all but passed back in a return() function where it is received by the button and written. This is also shown on the right side using PHP so you can see how this might work with Python, Ruby, Perl or even a less commonly used language like Rexx. Languages that Speak DCOP can do a lot more in &kommander; too. The point of this demo is the freedom provided. &kommander; does not have functions, yet it does. Create a script, declare some globals if you like, pass some parameters to another script and return a value. For an intentionally simplified GUI scripting tool that is capable behavior. This behavior is only in the new parser and is documented here. + + + + +tableselect.kmdr + +This example demonstrates how to use the new select function in the table widget. It is now possible to get four coordinates to enable a block selection. This also shows how it would have had to be done prior to this function. and how to use the parameters passed to a script. In addition this demonstrates a simple block copy and paste function for a table as well as summation of a block. + + + + + diff --git a/doc/kommander/widgets.docbook b/doc/kommander/widgets.docbook new file mode 100644 index 00000000..fa187cfc --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/kommander/widgets.docbook @@ -0,0 +1,599 @@ + + + + +Widgets + + +Widgets + + +The building blocks of a &kommander; dialog are the widgets.

+ + + + + + + + +Using Plugins + + +What is a Plugin? + + +&quantaplus; is able to load plugins, which are KParts. The +KPart framework is another very powerfull framework of &kde;. A KPart is a +relatively small, reusable container of functionality. It allows &kde; +developers to easily build on the work of other programmers. One +example of this is &quantaplus; itself. The editor &quantaplus; uses is +the &kate; KPart. The &kate; KPart already had a bunch of functionality that +&quantaplus; needed, like syntax highlighting. Integrating it into +&quantaplus; allowed the &quantaplus; developers to focus on what +&quantaplus; should be able to do, rather than facing the many problems +that developing a new editor KPart/component from scratch would bring. + + + +The plugins &quantaplus; loads might have nothing to do with &quantaplus; +itself. This makes it a very powerful plugin system. You can benefit from +extra functionality and need not to wait until someone integrates it into +&quantaplus;! The plugins can be loaded into a number of &GUI; elements. +More on this below. + + + + + +Understanding the Edit Plugin Dialog + +To install a Plugin or KPart we will work from the + +Plugins +Edit + menu. This will bring up the following dialog: + + + + + + +The Edit Plugin dialog. + + + +This dialog lets you manage all defined plugins and lets you add new ones. +We will describe each &GUI; element in here: + + + +Search paths + + +Here you can fill in a search path. When adding a plugin without a +Location, &quantaplus; will search these paths to +find the plugin. + + + + + +Add + + +This will bring up a dialog which allows you to add a new plugin. + + + + + +Configure + + +This will allow you to change the settings of a particular plugin. + + + + + +Remove + + +Removes the currently selected plugin. + + + + + +Refresh + + +Refreshes the dialog's contents. + + + + + +Read to learn more about plugins. + + + + Team Development + Often a project has more than one people working on it and there is some kind of hierarchical relationsship between them. &quantaplus; supports the notion of team members and they are configurable in the + + +&Shift;F7 + +Project +Project Properties + dialog. + + + + + + The team member editor dialog + + + The Name, Email entries are self explaining. Nickname is the nick of the user and acts as an unique identifier. + + Role specifies the role of the member in the project and can be one of the following: + + +Team leader + + +Subproject Leader + + +Task Leader + + +Simple Member + + + +Task is a description of the task assigned to this member. +Subproject: you can select a list of subproject. Subprojects can be configured and created by pressing the Edit subprojects button. Each subproject has a user visible name and a location entry, the later specifying a relative path to a directory under the project tree. This means that a subproject is a directory under the main project. For example the main project can be the website of your company, while a subproject can be the website for the intranet, located under the intranet folder in the project. +One member can have more than one role in the project, like both team leader and subproject leader. +The user should select who is himself from the list of the team members. This is possible by selecting a team member from the list and pressing the Set to Yourself button.

They allow +&quantaplus; to provide features like auto-completion and node trees. +Their simplicity and flexibility are what make &quantaplus; a fast, +developer friendly &IDE; for web developers. They are what make &quantaplus; +an easy-to-use, productive environment. + + + +&DTEP;s come in two flavors, Family 1, which are markups, and Family 2, +which are scripting and &CSS;. &DTEP;s are made up of two parts, the Tag +Folder and the Toolbars. Tag Folders are composed of two types of files, +the &descriptionrc; and TagXML files, which carry the extension .tag. +Toolbars are the handy, icon-oriented tabs of buttons (above the editing +window) which place text into a document faster than the user can type. + + + + &DTEP;s can be created manually (see below), downloaded or automatically created from an existing DTD. See for details about the conversion. + + + +This document describes how to make TagXML files, the &descriptionrc;, and +toolbars. In short, a &DTEP;. + + + +TagXML files (.tag) define both the attributes specific to a tag and the +layout and contents of the properties dialog &quantaplus; shows for the tag. +The &descriptionrc; file provides rules and information on the &DTEP; +itself. Toolbars provide a quick means for adding tags into a document +without worry of mis-spellings and such. + + + +Packaging + + +Tag Folders are just that, folders.

These should likely be replaced with an &amp; and +&lt;, respectively, in elements such as <tooltip>, <whatsthis>, +and <text>.

This will edit the &descriptionrc; for a &DTEP; you can select from a list. In order to +edit the &descriptionrc; for a newly created &DTEP; you should create a simple &descriptionrc; with the following entries: + + + + + + [General] + Version = Use 1 for &quantaplus; version <=3.1.2 and 2 for any version greater. + Name = DTD definition string. (-//&W3C;//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN) + NickName = The beautified name of the DTD. (HTML 4.01 Transitional). If not defined, Name is + used as NickName. + + + + +Once you have created it at put aside of the tag files, load the newly created &DTEP; with DTDLoad DTD Package (DTEP) and after it is loaded you can proceed with editing the settings of the &DTEP;. Check the tooltips and the whatsthis text of the entries in the editor dialog to understand the meaning of each entry. Alternatively you can read the quanta/data/dtep/dtd-description.txt from the source tarball containing a description about the format. + + + + + +User Defined Actions + +Actions are very common in every application. You meed them often when you use any application. Clicking on a toolbar icon, selecting a menu item or using a shortcut usually executes an action. In &quantaplus; actions are taken to the next level. Instead of hardcoded actions (that are created by the application +programmer at the source code level) it is possible for the ordinary user to create and modify actions and by this way adding +new functionality to &quantaplus;. These are the user defined actions, and many of the standard &quantaplus; actions are user defined (and user modifiable) actions as well. + +There are three types of user definable actions: + +Text actions +Tag actions +Script actions + + + +Creating actions + + You can create an action by going to + +Settings +Configure Actions + +. Click on New Action and you will face a similar dialog: + + + + + + + +Type +Specifies the action's type (Text, Tag, Script). + + + +Text +The user visible name of the action. + + + +The button near the Text label +The icon assigned to this action. Click on it in order to change the current icon. + + + +Tool tip +Short description of what the action does. + + + +Shortcut +The shortcut assigned to this action. Click on Custom or the button near Custom to assign a shortcut; click on None to remove the currently assigned shortcut. + + + +Container toolbars +The user defined toolbars where this action appears. See . + + + +Detailed Settings +Specific settings for the different type of actions. See below. + + + + + + +Text actions + + + + + The simplest actions. You can enter some text in the Detailed Settings area and whenever the action is executed this text will be inserted in your document + at the current cursor position. See the below example. + + + +Tag actions + + Useful to insert XML tags, but of course you can use them for other purposes as well. + + + + + +<tag> +The name of the tag. + + +</tag> +If checked when the action is executed this text will be inserted as a closing tag. If there is a selected area in the document before you execute the action, the <tag> will be inserted before the selected area and the </tag> after. + + +Run "Edit tag" dialog if available +If checked and there is a tagXML file for this tag, a tag editing dialog will be shown prior of inserting the tag inside the document, so you can fine-tune the tag attributes. + + +The <tag> and </tag> will be inserted as you've typed there. The <, > or the / sign won't be automatically appended. + + + +Script actions + + + + + The most powerful action type. With the help of this action you +can run external applications (usually scripts, but it's +not limited to scripts), which can alter your document or use your document (or part of your document) as input. Examples from &quantaplus; itself are the Quick Start dialog, the various View In... actions for the (X)HTML DTEPs. + + +First you have to enter the name of your script with the interpreter as well. Example: +sh /home/myHome/myScript.sh. + + +Although you can use full paths, the recommended way is to use the %scriptdir variable in the command line, like sh %scriptdir/myScript.sh. This way &quantaplus; will try to locate your script in the following places: + +global script folder: $KDEDIR/share/apps/quanta/scripts +local script folder: $KDEHOME/share/apps/quanta/scripts +your path: $PATH + +There are other special variables that you can use in the command line: + +%f: will be replaced with the URL of the current document. In case of local documents, file:/ will be stripped from the document. +%input: will be replaced with the selected input. See below. +%projectbase: will be replaced with the URL of the current project. It is empty if no project is loaded. +%pid: will be replaced with the PID of the running &quantaplus; process. If &quantaplus; is running in unique mode, the "unique " text will be prepended to the PID number. Useful when you use DCOP to control &quantaplus; from the external script. +%userarguments: useful in case of events. This entry will be replaced by the event properties in the following order: + +First argument +The unique id of the script + + +Second argument +the event name + + +Third argument +the parameters for the event, usually the file name of the current document or the path to the project file. + + + + + + +Aside of the above methods the script can receive input from &quantaplus; on the standard input. In the Input combobox you can select what to send to the standard input. Choices are: + +None: nothing is sent to the script. +Current document: the whole document is sent to the script. +Selected text: the selected area of the document is sent to the script. Using the %input variable usually makes sense only when using this setting. + + + +Similar to the Input you can catch the output of the executed application. There are two kind of outputs: + +normal output, printed to the standard output; + +error messages, printed to the standard error. + + +You can specify what should happen with the text printed to the standard output. This can be done by modifying the value of the Output combobox: + +None: the output of the application is ignored. +Insert in cursor position: the output will be inserted in the current document and the cursor position. +Replace selection: the selected area of the document will be replaced with the output. +Replace selection: the selected area of the document will be replaced with the output. +Create a new document: a new document will be created and will contain all the output of the script. +Replace current document: the entire document will be replaced with the output. +Message window: the output will appear in the Messages toolview. + + +The choices for the standard error output (Error) are the same as for the normal output. + + + + +Creating Toolbars + + +The following will show you how to create toolbars for a &DTEP;. Toolbars +are graphical elements that are assigned to actions. Actions, in +&quantaplus;, are the basis for nearly all the extensions that +&quantaplus; has and will acquire in the future. The same mechanism that +defines an action in &quantaplus; also enables auto-completion and tag +dialogs. With actions, the limit of what you can do is virtually +limitless. For means of an example, we will use &HTML; tidy on our web pages. + + + +From Scratch to Complete + + +To begin, you will need to create a user toolbar. Select + +Toolbars +Add User Toolbar +. + + + +If there are many tags for the markup language, it is recommended that you +split up the tags into logical groups. You will need to create a new user +toolbar for each group. In this case, there are not many, so we will be +making one toolbar and naming it with the name of the markup. + + + +Once all your toolbars are created, you must add and configure the +actions. To do this, select + +Settings +Configure Actions + + +. + + + +The parts of this window are pretty straight forward. Press the +New action button at the bottom of the window to +enter the editing mode. + + + +Fill in all of the necessary fields and add the tag to the appropriate +toolbar(s). + + + +Complete the rest and, if the tag has attributes and you always plan to +use them, check the Run "Edit tag" dialog if available + box so that you will be prompted every time the action is used. + + + +You should now have something much like the following. + + + + + + + + + +Press the Apply button and you will see the action +added to the toolbar(s) you have selected. + + + + + + + + + +Egad! That's an awful icon. How will yourself and others remember that +icon goes with that action? Let's replace it before trouble arises. + + + +To create an icon that more accurately describes that action, we will be +using &kiconedit;. Select it from the &kmenu;, +Graphics +More Programs + (or where ever your distribution placed it). + + + +&kiconedit; defaults to the size 32x32 pixels, but we need 22x22. To +change this, select + +Edit +Resize +. + + + +Keep in mind that you are creating an icon that will assist in helping not +only yourself to remember which action does what, but also other users of +the &DTEP;. + + + +Since the tag I am creating the icon for is called start, +I have decided to create a Start sign. Using the color green +(green often interpreted as go, start, or +proceed) will, or, at least, should, convey a message +to the user that clicking this action will place the <start> tag in the +current document. + + + + + + + + + +Now that I am finished with the creation of the icon, I will save it. + + + +Once you are done with creating the icon(s), you must associate the icon +with the action. To do this, open + +Settings +Configure Actions + again (in &quantaplus;) and select the action you made +the icon for. Beside the Text field, you will see a +button, click it. + + + +Select Other Icons and then click the +Browse button. + + + +Goto the folder in which you saved the icon, select the icon, and click +OK. + + + +Press the Apply button and either continue to do the +same with the other tags, if any, or click OK to +finish. + + + + + + + + + +Let us say you would like to add some common &quantaplus; functions to your +toolbar or maybe you think the toolbar would be better off organized in a +different manner with some separators to group the actions. Open the +Configure Toolbars dialog by going + +Settings +Configure Toolbars +. Make sure your toolbar is selected. + + + +I will be choosing the separator (top of the left column) for my toolbar. +Once you have selected the item you wish to add to your toolbar, press the +right arrow button. This will add it to your toolbar. + + + + + + + + + +I think I would like a quick way to access the Konqueror +Preview. I will select it and add it to the toolbar. + + + + + + + + + +Note how the separator helps in grouping. Someone new to my toolbar might +have thought that the &konqueror; button was like or the opposite of the +start button. + + + + + + + + + +Apply your changes and, when you are done, press OK +to finish. + + + +Ah, look at the fantastic new toolbar! Much more handy now. + + + + + + + + + +Remember to test your toolbar, by clicking all the buttons, so that you +know the output is correct. + + + + + + + + + +Now to save the toolbar, we will select + +Toolbars +Save Toolbars +Save as Local Toolbar +. + + + +Save it to the correct folder. Since NeXML does not exist, I will just +have it to the top-level folder, but your toolbar(s) should be saved to +the correct folder. Make sure to adjust your &descriptionrc; to have it +load your toolbar(s) when a new file of that type is created. + + + + + + + +Creating Your Own Documentation + + +Robert +Nickel + +
robert@artnickel.com
+ + + + + + + + +Creating Your Own Documentation + + +Probably the most notable additions to &quantaplus; for the general user +will be the addition of documentation for the markup or scripting language +that you like best. To that end, this chapter will explain how I create +the &PHP; documentation tree for my personal use. + + + +Before starting on creating your own documentation, you may wish to check +out the +&quantaplus; repository to see if someone else has already done +this set. + + + +There are two parts to this process. First, you must obtain the existing +documentation for the markup/scripting/&etc; language that you are after. +Second, you have to create the docrc file. The first +is up to you, the second is what we will cover here. + + + +The general form of the docrc file is as follows: + + + + +#KDE Config File +[Tree] +Doc dir=path, relative to this file, of the documentation html files ⪚ php42/ +#top level elements +Top Element=Your description for these documentation ⪚ &PHP; 4.2 documentation + +Section 1=Section1.html +Section 2=#Sec2.1,#Sec2.2,#Sec2.3 +Sec2.1=Sec2.1.html +Sec2.2=Sec2.2.html +Sec2.3=Sec2.3.html +... + +[Context] +ContextList=func1,func2,tag1,tag2,tag3 +func1=func1.html +func2=func2.html +tag1=tag1.html +tag2=tag2.html +tag3=tag3.html + + + + +The docrc is broken down into two sections: Tree and +Context. + + + +The Tree section defines the presentation aspect of the documentation in +the documentation tab. For example, you will see that in the &PHP; +documentation you have something akin to this: + + + + + + + + + +Relating this to the above, my &PHP; docrc looks like +this: + + + + +#KDE Config File + +[Tree] + +Doc dir=php42/ + +#top level elements +Top Element=PHP 4.2 documentation + +PHP 4.2 documentation=Table of Contents,#Getting Started,#Language Reference + +Table of Contents=index.html + +Getting Started=Introduction, ... +Introduction=introduction.html +... + +Language Reference=Basic syntax, ... +Basic syntax=language.basic-syntax.html +... + + + + + +Notice the # in front of Getting Started +and Language Reference. This indicates that these are sub +containers in the tree and have content of their own. I do not believe that +there is a set limit to the depth here (other than that driven by sanity) +— use your judgment. + + + +For the Table of Contents, you will notice that it is referenced directly to +a file (and consequently shows up at the bottom of the tree view — +folders first!). + + + + +Spaces do not adversely affect anything, but watch out for & and < +characters. These should likely be replaced by &amp; and &lt; +respectively in all of the &XML; based &quantaplus; resource files. + + + + +The Context section is the section of the docrc file that is used to +facilitate context sensitive help. For example, you are writing a &PHP; +script and you would like to see the documentation for the +mysql_fetch_array function. You simply highlight the +function and then press &Ctrl;H + for context help. The documentation on +mysql_fetch_array will immediately display. There are +only two entry types here: the ContextList and the file association lines. + + + + +ContextList + + +Really simple, this is just a comma separated list of the context items +you wish to have available (for &PHP;, these are the functions for &PHP;). + + + + +File association lines + + +These are of the form context item=html doc page. ⪚ +acos=function.acos.html + + + + + + +A pared down version of my docrc Context section is +as follows: + + + + +#Keywords for context help +[Context] +ContextList=abs,acos,acosh,addcslashes,addslashes,... + +abs=function.abs.html +acos=function.acos.html +acosh=function.acosh.html +addcslashes=function.addcslashes.html +addslashes=function.addslashes.html +... + + + + +Now you can just save your docrc file, save it in +$HOME/.kde/share/apps/quanta/doc +or $KDEDIR/share/apps/quanta/doc +for local or global use respectively. Then create a folder (the one +specified in your docrc file) in the same folder +as your docrc file and copy your &HTML; pages in +there. + + + +You will need to restart &quantaplus; to see your documentation. + + + +Once you are sure that they are good and worth sharing, send the +docrc file along with a description of any pertinent +information on what documentation you used to the +&quantaplus; +repository for use by the &quantaplus; community. You will not get +rich, but you will feel great knowing that you contributed to the best web +development platform around. + + + + + + Sharing Resources + With &quantaplus; you are not alone. It is possible to share the various resources (DTEP packages, toolbars with actions, scripts, templates) with others. There are two ways to do it: + + + + Sending in Email + The resources can be sent in email to your friends, partners or to whomever you want. You will see the Send in Email menu entries in various places, like DTDSend DTD Package (DTEP) in Email, ToolbarsSend Toolbar in Email, in the context menu of the files and folders in the Templates and Scripts tree. + + + + Uploading to the main server + The resources can be uploaded to our main repository, from where all other &quantaplus; users can download them. The submissions are reviewed and made available only if our team considers correct and useful will be published. In order to make a valid submission it is suggested to sign the resources, thus you need a GPG/PGP key. This information is used to verify the origin of the resources both by our team and by the downloaders. + About getting the resources from the main server see . + When uploading you will be asked to enter the passphrase for your secret GPG key (the passphrase will not be stored), or in the case of having more secret keys, you will be able to pick up the one you want to use. In the Share Hot New Stuff dialog fill the input fields (the Preview URL may remain empty) and start the upload by clicking OK. + + The upload can be initiated from + DTDUpload DTD Package (DTEP), ToolbarsUpload Toolbar, in the context menu of the files and folders in the Templates and Scripts tree. + + + + + + +Getting Resources +It is possible to upgrade your &quantaplus; without getting a new version, by getting new resources like DTEP packages, toolbars with actions, templates, scripts and documentation. One possibility is that you got the resources in email or have downloaded from a web server, in which cases you usually need to manually install them. In lucky case you also got an install script when you have downloaded the resources. But &quantaplus; has a dedicated server holding resources that were either not included in the main distribution because of their sizes or infrequent usage, or they were contributed later by users, and these resources are automatically installed. Do download such resources use the various Download menu entries. You can find them at DTDDownload DTD Package (DTEP), ToolbarsDownload Toolbar, in the context menu of an empty area or toplevel item in the Templates, Scripts and Documentation trees. + + +After a resource was downloaded, but before it is installed, &quantaplus; verifies if the resource is valid, by checking the integrity and the signature. In case of problems it warns you and you can decide if you want to continue or not. Please read the warning dialogs carefully. In the case when the integrity is correct and the resource is correctly signed, you will still get an information dialog, so you can see who created the resource. + + + Be sure that you install resources, especially toolbars and scripts, only from trusted sources! + + + + + Converting a DTD to a &DTEP; + It is possible to work on XML languages currently not supported by &quantaplus; by creating a DTEP package. But the creation can be time consuming, as you may need to write hundreds of tag files in tagXML format. Of course, there is a nicer way to go, by converting the DTD automatically into a DTEP package. + + The conversion can be started from the DTDLoad & Convert DTD menu. Select the .dtd file which defines the DTD you want to use, and after that you will see the following dialog: + + + + + + +The entries are: + + Target directory name:the newly created &DTEP; will go under this name to the $KDEHOME/share/apps/quanta/dtep folder. + + + Name:the name (definition string) of the DTD + Nickname: the user visible name of the &DTEP; + !DOCTYPE definition line: + the string that should appear in the !DOCTYPE tag, like + HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd" + DTD URL: the URL pointing to the DTD file + Default extension: the extension usually used for files that were written in this DTD + Case-sensitive tags and attributes: self explaining, usually true for XML language variants + Fine-tune the DTEP after conversion: if checked, after the conversion is done, &quantaplus; will bring up the &descriptionrc; editor, so you can fine tune the newly created &DTEP;. It is recommended to leave this options checked. + + + + diff --git a/doc/quanta/ftab.png b/doc/quanta/ftab.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..b179f808 Binary files /dev/null and b/doc/quanta/ftab.png differ diff --git a/doc/quanta/fundamentals.docbook b/doc/quanta/fundamentals.docbook new file mode 100644 index 00000000..ccd293d5 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/quanta/fundamentals.docbook @@ -0,0 +1,429 @@ + + + + +The Fundamentals of &quantaplus; + + +Robert +Nickel + +

+ +Reviewer + + + + + + + +The Fundamentals of &quantaplus; + + +Within &quantaplus; there are several key concepts. To understand and +take advantage of &quantaplus;, you must first learn these concepts, the +fundamentals. This chapter will explain and show you these concepts, without +which &quantaplus; would be primitive. + + + +The Workspace + + +&quantaplus; divides the workspace into three scopes: Global, Local, and +Project. These distinctions affect various components in &quantaplus;. + + + + +Global + + +Global items are available to anyone that uses &quantaplus;. From toolbars +to actions, everything marked as global is stored in the common +&quantaplus; folder structure. This has the effect of allowing a group +of admins to save certain toolbars, actions, and templates in the global +tree, which can then be used to keep a multi-user installation of +&quantaplus; common to everyone on the system. + + + + + +Local + + +Local items make up a single user's personal collection of web development +resources. These items are made up of a user's templates and toolbars. +Local items are stored in a user's home folder. This makes all of the +user's Local items available for personal use at instance. + + + + + +Project + + +Project items are are only available to a particular project. These can +be anything from a &CSS; template to a toolbar with custom actions +which perform a special task on a project's files. Simply put, this is +the most limited scope. All of the items saved in the project workspace +will be saved in the project's folder tree, allowing you to share your +specialized tools and templates with whomever else you share your +project with. + + + + + + + + +The Multi-Document Interface + + + + + +&quantaplus; editing the document you are now reading. + + + + + +&quantaplus;' &MDI; is broken down into various parts: the editor window, +the quick info trees, informational tabs and the toolbars. Please see , +, , and for more +information on these parts. + + + +The Editor Window + + + + + + +&quantaplus;' editor window. + + + + +&quantaplus;' editor window allows for multiple files to be opened at the +same time. When just one file is open, the document fills the entire +editor window. As soon as a second document is opened, a small amount of +space is taken from the bottom of the editor window to allow for tabs to +be displayed with the filenames and a status icon. The above picture shows +a floppy icon beside the filename, indicating that the +file has been modified and should be saved. +You can right click on the tabs with the mouse to get a context menu with entries related to the current document, like closing the current, other or all tabs; switching to other tabs; reloading, deleting or uploading the document; switching to a bookmarked line ; performing CVS operations on the current document. +Right clicking in the editor area will give you another context menu related to the edited document content, like basic editing actions (cut/copy/paste), editing the tag under the cursor, selecting the area covered by the tag under the cursor, getting context help about the word under the cursor or open a file if the string under the cursor points to a file. + + + +At the top of the editor window is the editor toolbar set. Currently, +&quantaplus; defaults to &HTML; 4.01 Transitional, which has a default set +of toolbars that are loaded. As &quantaplus; progresses, the toolbars will +be updated to meet the needs of users and to make use of newer features. + + + +Toolbar usage is pretty straight forward. If you want to insert a basic +tag, like <p>, into your document, then you can click on the icon that +represents the tag. Now you can insert your data for the tag you have just +inserted. If you wish to insert a tag that requires certain attributes +(like an anchor), then you will get a dialog box with the various fields for +you to fill in. + + + + + +The anchor (<a>) dialog. + + + + + +The Toolviews + + + + + +The Toolviews. + + + +The Toolviews or Quick Info Trees (&QIT;) allow you to navigate, open, and gather +information in &quantaplus;. Its tabbed format presents you with the Files, Project, +Templates, Document Structure, Scripts, Attribute, and Documentation Trees. + + + +&QIT; Explained + + + +Files Tree + + + + + + + + +This is where you can browse your entire file system. You are presented +with two top-level roots of the file system. The first is your home folder +and the second is the filesystem root folder - /. Use these to find existing +files on your machine that you would like to edit or add to an active +project. Right mouse button clicking on a file in this view gives you several +options for managing the selected file and, also, allows you to insert the +file into an active project, if any, or toggle the view between tree and list. + + + + + +Project Tree + + + + + + + + +Project management is one of the +many powerful tools that &quantaplus; offers. This tab displays all files +within your project and allows you to manage the files within the project +through the use of &RMB; clicking. Actions, such as add, remove, upload, +or delete files entirely from the disk, can be performed through this menu. + + + + + +Templates Tree + + + + + + + + +Another feature of &quantaplus; is templates. Templates can be anything +you would like. Images, code snippets, an entire web page, et cetera. It +is entirely up to you. + + + +Templates are sorted into three categories, which are based on their scope +and the context they are being used. These scopes are carried over from +&quantaplus;' workspace. Global templates are usable all times, local +templates are usable to the current user, and project templates +are usable only within their specified project. More on templates can be +found in . + + + + + +Scripts Tree + + + + + + + + +Here you will find information about the various scripts available for use +by you. The Global, Local, and Project concept allows here as well. By +&LMB; clicking the entries, you gain access to all the available +information about the script. And &RMB; clicking allows you to perform a +few actions, such as running the script, editing the script, and mailing +the script, for example. + + + + + +Document Structure Tree + + + + + + + + +This tab displays the parser's internal representation of your document. +By &LMB; clicking on an element, your cursor will taken to the element's +position in the document. By &RMB; clicking on an element, you are +presented with a number of actions that deal with navigating and updating +the tree. + + + + + +Attribute Tree + + + + + + + + +This tree appears below all the other &QIT;s. Within it you can quickly +edit attributes and namespaces. The content-focused entry system +allows you to modify all the available attributes with little more than a +few clicks of the mouse. + + + + +Attribute Tree + + + + + + +Documentation Tree + + + + + + + + +Here you can find complete documentation on web technologies to aid your +development. You can download pre-packaged documentation for &quantaplus; +at &quantaplus;' +documentation site, you can create your own documentation, +and, by adding a folder named "doc" to a project, you can add, edit, +and view project-specific documentation. + + + + + + + +The Informational Tabs + + + + + +&quantaplus;' Informational Tabs. + + + +By default &quantaplus; has two tabs located at the bottom of the window +from which useful information can be obtained. These are the Messages +window and the Problems window. + + + + +Messages Window Tab + + + + + + + + +This tab displays information from any scripts run in quanta. +For example, the DTD being used for the current document +and any changes to the DTD are displayed. + + + + + + +Problems Tab + + + + + + + + +This tab shows any errors in the markup of the current document. +&quantaplus; scripts which are executed will also print error +messages (if present) in this tab. + + + + + + + +The Toolbars + + + + + +&quantaplus;' &HTML; toolbars. + + + +&quantaplus;' toolbars have been extended greatly and are easy to +understand. You click on the button and you get an associated action from +that button. The beautiful part about toolbars is that you can define your +own actions graphically within &quantaplus;. + + + +Managing toolbars in &quantaplus; is easy. By selecting the +Toolbars menu, you have the options to load, save, add, remove, and +email toolbars. When you choose to load a toolbar, you may choose from one +of the three workspaces in +&quantaplus;. When saving a newly created toolbar, you can save it in the +local scope or within a project's scope. If you would like to make a new +toolbar available in the global scope, ask your admin to place it in +&quantaplus;' global toolbar folder. + + + +Another feature of &quantaplus; is the ability to email your toolbars. +&quantaplus; sends the toolbar as a gzipped tar archive through &kmail;. +If you receive a toolbar in email, then you can save (and load) it into +&quantaplus; like any other toolbar! + + + + diff --git a/doc/quanta/glossary.docbook b/doc/quanta/glossary.docbook new file mode 100644 index 00000000..30e83c3d --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/quanta/glossary.docbook @@ -0,0 +1,53 @@ + + + + + + + +Keith +Isdale + +

+ +Reviewer + + + + + + + +&quantaplus;: Where It Was And Where It Is Going + + +While striving to become the best &HTML; editor, the developers of +&quantaplus; began to think about a rather intriguing idea: What if +&quantaplus; was a generic, extensible, markup language editor? +Well, that would only make it the greatest Web Development Environment +for &kde;! So it was done. + + + +No longer bound to &HTML;, &quantaplus; is now well on its way to becoming +an all-purpose Web Development Environment.

It can dramatically increase your +productivity. Through the use of custom actions, scripting, and toolbars, +you can automate almost any task.

+ +Reviewer + + + + + + + +Projects + + +New Projects + + +The &quantaplus; project wizard +( +Project +New Project... +) makes project creation an easy task. + + + + + + +The Project Wizard. + + + +The fields are pretty straight forward. It is best to fill them in from +top to bottom. Filling in a project name will autocomplete all the +folder structure for the rest of the project. All of the paths and +author information fields can be configured later on clicking + + +&Shift;F7 + +Project +Project Properties +. + + + +General Project Settings + +Name + + +Here you fill in the name for your project. For example, we will call ours +foo. When you fill in +Name, File is filled out for +you automatically. + + + + + +File + + +This is the name of the &quantaplus; project file. By default, it is the +name of your project, but in lowercase letters and without spaces. It +uses the extension webprj (⪚ +foo.webprj). This file is stored in the root of the +project's Main Folder. + + + + + + + +Server Settings + + + +Protocol + + +Here you select the protocol you will be using to access you project. If +your project is on the same machine that you are using Quanta Plus on, +then leave the value at Local. The list of protocols shown here is +dependant of your system setup. Available protocols include SSH, FTP, NFS, +SMB, WebDAV, and others. The protocol list is powered by &kde;'s +powerful KIOSlave architecture. This framework allows every &kde; +application to easily access remote information as if it is local to the +machine. + + + + +Host + + +Here you fill in the server address of the machine you want to access, +unless you are working through the Local protocol. Either a hostname +(hostname.example.com) or an IP address (127.0.0.1) can go here. + + + + +User + + +User name for logging onto the remote machine. This is case-sensitive. + + + + +Password + + +Password for logging onto the remote machine. This is case-sensitive. + + + + +Port + + +Leave this field blank to use the default port for the protocol you are +using. You may need to change this depending on your server's +configuration. + + + + + + + + + + + +Directory Settings + + + +Main directory + + +This is the root folder where all of the project files and folders +will be stored. + + + + +Templates directory + + +This is where the templates for this project will be stored. It is a relative path to the project and by default, +it points to +templates. +If you have a common set of files that you use for several +projects, then it may be useful to point this field to it, instead of to +the default. + + + + +Toolbars directory + + + This is where the toolbars for this project will be stored. It is a relative path to the project and by default, +it points to toolbars. +If you have a common set of toolbars +that you use for several projects, it may be useful to point this there +instead of the default. + + + + + + + + + + + +Project Sources + + + +Add local or remote files + + +This allows you to get files from the local file system. You can choose +multiple files or entire folders. + + + + +Use wget to download files from site + + +This option is great if you have static web content that you wish to +download and modify. For server side scripting (⪚ &PHP;, Python, +&etc;.) you will have to get the files another way. + + + + + + + + + +Insert Files in Project + +Insert file from + + +Check this if you wish to include files found in the path of the Main +Folder. Leave unchecked when starting a project from scratch. + + + + +Filters + + + +Insert only markup, script and image files + + +Choosing this option will only insert markup, script, and image files into +your project. + + + + +Insert files with the following mask + + +Choosing this option will display all files and folders within the +Main Folder and allow you to be more specific with your choices. + + + + + + + +Included files + + +This displays a list of the files in the Main Folder. You can choose +the desired files for inclusion, by checking, or exclusion, by unchecking, +in your project. + + + + + + +More Project Settings + +Author + + +Insert your name (or alias) here. + + + + +Email + + +The address where you would like email regarding this project to go. + + + + +Project Defaults + + + +Default DTD + + +Choose the markup language you will be working with the most within this +project. + + + + +Default encoding + + +Choose the character encoding you wish the files in your project to be +opened and saved with. + + + + + + + +Use preview prefix + + +Check this to use a prefix for your previews. This allows you to set the +path prefix to something other than your local file system. This is most +useful for pages that contain dynamic content and are dependent on server +processing (like &PHP;, JSS, Python, &etc;). Simply +type in the first portion of the address as it exists on that server and +the filepath at the end will be complete by &quantaplus;. For example, if +you have the domain bar.com and you are editing the +index.html page, you could edit it on your remote +machine (foo.bar.com), upload it to the server +and press F6 to see the results from +www.bar.com instead of your local file system. + + + +Prefix + + +Enter the prefix you wish to use here. + + + + + + + +Insert global templates + + +This makes a copy of the global templates in your projects folder tree. + + + + +Insert local templates + + +This makes a copy of the local templates in your projects folder tree. + + + + + + +The last screen of the new project wizard has 3 settings that can make +your life easier. These settings are available for change from the + +Project +Project Properties + +menu tree on the Upload Profiles Tab or with the keyboard shortcut +&Shift;F7. + + + + + +Configuring Projects + + The project properties dialog looks like: + + + + + The general options page + + + + + Some of the items are the same as in the project wizard and are described in .

Either a +fully qualified domain name, or an IP address is needed. + + + + + +Protocol + + +Transfer protocol to use for this upload. Depending on your version of +&kde; this list will vary. At the very least you should be able to choose +from &FTP;, file (&ie; local) and NFS. + + + + + +Port + + +Port for the transfer. Usually this will not need to be changed unless your +network administrator is hosting a service on a port other than its well +known port. + + + + + +User + + +Username to use for authentication. + + + + + +Password + + +Password to use for authentication. + + + + + +Store password on disc + + +Depending on your level of paranoia, this is a time saving feature, or a +danger. Use it at your discretion.

+ +Reviewer + + + + + + + +Working With... + + +This chapter describes the parts of &quantaplus; that you will be +interacting with mostly. These not only make your more productive, but +they also allow you to customize &quantaplus; to your work-flow. + + + +Toolbars + + +As previously mentioned, toolbars in &quantaplus; are primarily managed +through the Toolbars menu. Usage and creation are +somewhat different. The creation of toolbars is discussed in a later +section entitled Creating +Toolbars. + + + +Using toolbars is quite simple. When you click on an icon for a desired +element or action, one of three possibilities occur: the element is +inserted (optionally with a closing element); an element dialog is +activated, allowing you to fill in the attributes in a dialog box; or, +lastly, an action is activated and does something nifty for your current +file or project. If you find yourself doing tedious and redundant typing +for a particular element, that is not in &quantaplus;, then you can add it. +See for more information. + + + +Configuring the toolbars and the elements on it can be done either by +using the context menu (right click on a toolbar), where you can +create a New Action, a New Toolbar, you can perform other actions like Remove Toolbar, Rename Toolbar or Configure Toolbars, which will get you the dialog where you can specify which actions should be visible on this or other toolbars. + + + By invoking the context menu on an action (icon) placed to a toolbar, aside of the above actions you will see the Remove Action and Edit Action entries, which speak for themselves. + + + The toolbars and the actions on them can be configured by using the SettingsConfigure Toolbars... and SettingsConfigure Actions.. menu entries. + + + About the user definable actions you can read in . + + + +A tag dialog looks just like the following: + + + + + +An example of a tag dialog. + + + + +The above image is the dialog for the anchor tag. If you know &HTML;/&XHTML;, +then you should have noticed that all the attributes that you can use, in +an anchor element, are available. Notice the tabs above for +Main, Core and i18n, +Events, and Focus, they hold +all of the other attributes, according to their purpose, available to the +anchor element. All you need do is: fill in the blanks for the attributes +you want in your anchor, omit the attributes you do not want, and click OK. +You now have a well formed anchor set down at the current cursor position. + + + +&quanta-projects; + + +Templates + + +Templates are basically skeleton documents, code snippets and files to +link to. &quantaplus; uses templates fundamentally as a standard file +system with enhanced organization and interfacing. You can copy, move or +link any repository currently on your system into the templates tree. +Think of &quantaplus; templates as having roughly the limitations to your +imagination that your file system has. + + + +Templates exist in nested folders. There is no limit to how deep you +can nest them, however, within any given folder &quantaplus; expects a +consistent action for the base template type described below. Additionally +templates allow for pre and post text to be concatenated to non document +type templates. This facilitates tag creation. The next update after the +introduction is scheduled to add the ability to pass variables to the text +such as image size information to assist in tag creation. + + + +Our goal with templates is to extend them to include multi file +concept templates useful for things like placing an order or +creating an about section. Ideally this will be a tool for making your +work more productive and dynamic. An eventual goal is to have a structural +template design mode to deal with site layout and structure which you +could use to design and interactively update your sites. If you would like +to be involved, check out our +help +wanted page. + + + + +Some of the templates that ship with &quantaplus; have conditions for +their usage. Please read carefully the usage statement of conditions at +the top of each template before you use it. + + + + +Template Types + + +There are various template types supported by &quantaplus;. +These are: + + + +Binary templates +Document templates +Text snippets +Site templates + + +Examples for these types are provided with &quantaplus;. + + + +Binary templates + + +Binaries are anything not identified purely in text. They can be any file, +except text, including images, &PDF;s, flash files, etc. Binary templates +are usually included in your document via links (&ie; images as +an img src=/src/url). +Some examples can be found in the Templates tree under Global Templates. +Please see for more information on the +Templates tree. + + + + + +Document templates + + +Documents can be any type of text document. You can create new documents +based on these templates. Generally you would want to nest +more specific or diverse documents in subfolders. Here you can make a +basic framework for what you do and deliver it to your work in an +organized fashion and realize much better efficiency. Some examples +can be found in the Templates tree under Global Templates. +Please see for more information on the +Templates tree. + + + + + +Text snippets + + +This type of template is useful when you don't want to create a new +document based on a template, but want to insert the same text area +over and over in your documents. They can contain anything, starting +with a comment and ending with a complete menu handling JavaScript +method or perl script. Some examples can be found in the Templates +tree under Global Templates. +Please see for more information on the +Templates tree. + + + + + +Site templates + + +As the name says these templates are useful to build a whole site +from a template. They are a collection of various documents which +can be organized in a directory structure, everything gathered in +a compressed tar archive. As of writing there are no example site +templates in &quantaplus;. + + + + + + + + +Template Scopes + + +Templates are accessible based upon their established +workspace in &quantaplus; + + + + + +Creating Templates + + +Creating document templates + +Create a document structure that you love (&XML;, &HTML;, DocBook, &etc;.) +and click on + +File +Save as Template +Save as Local/Project Template +. + + + +Once this is done, you will notice that (even if it is saved as a Project +template) the template does not show in the project +tab view. Look into the templates view to find your template under the +Project templates tab. + + + +Creating text snippets +Select some text in your document and click on + +File +Save as Template +Save Selection to Local/Project Template file +. +Alternatively you can just use drag and drop to drag the selection to the Templates treeview. + + + +Creating binary templates +Creation of a binary template is simple: just copy the file +into a template folder. You can use standard file management +functions to do it, like drag and drop or copy and paste from +Konqueror or the Files Tree. + + + +Creating site templates + +In the Files Tree or the Project Files +treeviews right click on a folder and select Create Site Template, +pick up a name for the template and save it. By default it will try +to save to the project template folder, but of course you can choose +to save it as a local or global template as well. + + + + + +Using Templates With Projects + + +Project templates allow you to be more tightly focused. You can create +headers, footers or go dynamic with &PHP; include files and link them. +Additionally there are some very cool things we took into consideration +when using templates in projects. + + + +When creating a project you can opt to copy to your local project, all the +existing global and user templates. Legacy project get default templating +abilities so nothing is lost You can choose where to locate your template +files so they can be in your server root and easy to upload or you can +make them secure to link to below server root which is a very cool trick. +When linking to a file not in the project templates you will be prompted +to copy the file to the project templates prior to linking. This will prevent +broken links on upload. You always have control where you place your +templates so you can choose to move them. However &quantaplus; does not +track this so you will need to change links. + + + + + +Managing Templates + + +Template structure on the template tab is based on the files found in + +$KDEDIR/share/apps/quanta/templates and + +$HOME/.kde/share/apps/quanta/templates. Each of +these folders is specified as one of four types of container as explained above. + + + +To set the behavior of each folder, &RMB; click in the template view on +the folder and choose Properties. The +following dialog will come up: + + + + + +Properties dialog. + + + + + +Type + + + +Drop down box with the three types discussed previously; files, text, +template. This box will be grayed out if you have the Inherit +parent attribute box checked. + + + + + +Inherit parent attribute (foo) + + +This is checked by default and is fine for all but the top level +folders in your templates tree. If the top level folder has this +checked, it will basically deactivate templates for that folder and all +that aren't explicitly set below it. If this is not a top level folder, +then the blah will say something like +Text snippet. If it says nothing, then chances are that +you are on a top level folder. + + + + +Use pre/post text + + +Enables pre and post text for templates in this folder. This could be a +common header/footer for all of your templates for a given project and +then you copy content templates into that folder and have a complete +page with the custom header/footer as a starting point. + + + + +Pre-text + + +The actual text to insert before your templates content. + + + + +Post-text + + +The actual text to insert after your templates content. + + + + + + +Additionally if you look at your options with the &RMB; you will see +complete file management tools for creating folders or copying and +pasting templates from one location to another. + + + + + + +<application>Visual Page Layout</application> + + +Nicolas +Deschildre + +

+ +Reviewer + + + + + + + +<application>Visual Page Layout</application> + + +&VPL; Modes + + +The Visual Page Layout (&VPL;) editor (also known +as WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get)) allows you +to edit a &HTML; or &XHTML; document while seeing the changes on-the-fly. +Just like your favorite wordprocessor, you can click on your document and +a cursor will appear, thus enabling you to enter text, insert images, +apply text decorations, &etc;. &VPL;'s aim is to allow you to create great, +valid web pages without any knowledge of Internet markup languages. + + + +&quantaplus; offers two modes: &VPL; Editor and +&VPL; & Source Editors, which are accessible from +the View menu. The first replaces the Source +Editor with the &VPL; Editor, and the +second splits the editor window into two parts: the Source +Editor and the &VPL; Editor. + + + +The &VPL; Editor works like so: It loads a document +like a normal &HTML; or &XHTML; page and a cursor appears. Then you can +edit it, and switching back to Source Editor, you see +that the changes you made on the &VPL; Editor have +been merged in the Source Editor. + + + + +When working in the &VPL; Editor with a document that +contains &PHP;, you will see a small green icon representing the &PHP; +code. You cannot directly edit it with the &VPL; +Editor. To edit &PHP;, you will still need to use the +Source Editor. There are no plans to change this +functionality. + + + + +The second mode behaves exactly like the first, except that you instantly +see the impact that your changes have made, either in the Source +Editor or in the &VPL; Editor, and the +cursors of the source editor and of the &VPL; Editor +are synchronized. Pressing F9 loads this mode, but, if +it is already loaded, it will move the focus from one view to the other, +while keeping you at the same location of the document. + + + +The refresh intervals between the &VPL; Editor and +the Source Editor are configurable. Go to + +Settings +Configure Quanta... +. Select the &VPL; View tab. You can +choose whether you want to refresh a view only when you click on it or +automatically. If you choose automatically, then you can choose a refresh +interval. The general recommendation is: A smaller number for fast +computers and a bigger number for slower ones. + + + + + + +The &VPL; & Source Editors mode. + + + + +&VPL; Editing + + +The <guilabel>Document Properties</guilabel> Dialog + + +Now, let's say you want to edit the title of your web page. How do you do +it? Simply launch + +Tools +Document Properties +. This tool allows editing of invisible +tags when using the &VPL; Editor. The +Document Properties dialog is also launched when you +create a new document while in the &VPL; Editor. This +is in order to lessen the amount of hand coding you need to perform. With +it, you can edit: + + + + +Title + + +The title of the document. + + + + +Meta items + + +Meta tags allow you to store information about the document itself +⪚ keywords for the Internet search engines. You can add or remove +Meta items by pressing the two buttons below, +and edit them by clicking on the list ⪚ put keywords on +the name column and keyword1 keyword2 on the +content column. + + + + +CSS Rules + + +CSS Rules are the new way to tell your web browser +how to present the page. You can add or delete the CSS +Rules by pressing the buttons below. You can also fill the +fields like the Meta items. The editing of +CSS Rules is not yet supported. + + + + +Link CSS Stylesheet + + +You can also link an external CSS stylesheet. Simply click on the +Browse button and select your file. + + + + + + + + +The <guilabel>&VPL; Editor</guilabel> + + +You can use your cursor like you do in a wordprocessor, moving with the +arrows. There may come a time when the cursor does not want to go where you +want it to go (a pesky bug). Selection also works as usual. You can insert +text by typing and remove text by pressing the &Backspace; or Delete key. + + + +Now we come to tag insertion. You can insert images, applets, text +decorations such as bold and so on by using the same toolbars you use in +the source editor. Note that the insertion of tags does not remove previous +identical tags ⪚ if you insert an anchor tag around some text, then you +must remove any other anchor tag around it. + + + + +Some toolbar items will be disabled, such as the Table +Wizard or Quick List Wizard. They will +work later in &VPL;, but, for this release, you should use the +Tables or Lists toolbars. + + + + +To edit a tag (be it an image, an applet, or whatever), switch to the +Attribute Tree, accessible via + +View +Tool views +. Click on the tag you wish to edit, or, if you cannot access +it, click on an object contained by it. The Attribute +Tree will show the current tag name as well as a list of all its +parents and attributes. Currently &VPL; does not support, say, +&XHTML;+MathML, but you will see that you can edit +namespaces via this view. You can simply click on the +Value field and modify whatever you want. If you want +to access a parent of the current tag, then select it and the +Attribute Tree will load it. + + + +To delete a tag, we will use the Attribute Tree. Have +you noticed the two little red crosses at the top-right corner? The first one +deletes only the currently selected tag and, if the &HTML;/&XHTML; +specification does not allow some children of the deleted tag to be children of +the parent tag of the tag set to be deleted, then they are also deleted, +and so on. The second cross will delete the selected tag as well as all of +its children, so be careful! + + + + + + diff --git a/doc/xsldbg/Makefile.am b/doc/xsldbg/Makefile.am new file mode 100644 index 00000000..41691557 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/xsldbg/Makefile.am @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +KDE_LANG = en +KDE_DOCS = AUTO + diff --git a/doc/xsldbg/commands.docbook b/doc/xsldbg/commands.docbook new file mode 100644 index 00000000..0c1e6735 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/xsldbg/commands.docbook @@ -0,0 +1,801 @@ + + +Command Reference + +Addparam +Add a libxslt parameter ; equivalent to providing --param <QNAME>:<XPATH> via command line. + + +Addparam usage + +addparam <QNAME> <XPATH>    (The <XPATH> must not contain any spaces nor double quotation marks.) +addparam <QNAME> "<XPATH>"    (Must not contain double quotation marks in <XPATH>) + + +
