I thought it was just me!

I use a tablet instead of a mouse and it can sometimes be a bit sensitive. All I want to do is just tap the control to edit its attributes and I often nudge it out of position.

Perhaps a simple solution would be a key you can hold down that temporarily locks controls in place so they don't move but can still be selected.

Just bumping this thread again. Would love this feature. As soon as you start building anything beyond a couple of screens "widget" reuse becomes critical.

9 months on... Has there been any traction on this feature request? Just looking for some sort of update on progress -- even if its "we will not support this feature".

Thanks.

modius asked a question in Razuna on June 01, 2009 13:42:

how do i delete folders?

A folder appears to have been created under UploadBin when I uploaded a ZIP file of images:



I moved the images to a new location and now my folder is empty, but I can't seem to work out how I delete the folder. Am I missing something obvious? Have tried right mouse clicking and other things to no avail. Please help.

Congratulations! This is great news.

modius replied on June 01, 2009 13:32 to the problem "assets don't appear" in Razuna:

If i upload to the "uploadbin" using a ZIP of images, I get all my assets displayed as expected.

However, if I then move the images to a new folder only the first image asset appears to make it to the new destination. I have a record for all the other assets just no physical images.



One of the missing image records is shown below.. note it thinks there is a file size, but even the preview is missing:

"It's likely that the page in which the form is embedded is set to cache. I assume this is an HTML page. You'd want to check the specific caching requirements of that content type's skins. That said you can set the embedded view to flush the parent cache automatically using @@hashURL in the view as shown above."

Scratch that... i see from our original question you're calling a displayPageStandard and I assume its not embedded. Can you email the full page skin -- the snippet was mangled by GetSatisfied.

modius replied on September 19, 2008 03:11 to the problem "ObjectBroker caches idlForm when explicitly set not to" in Daemon:

In some cases you need the view to respond to changes on the URL. For example in the case of a paginated result set, you may be changing the displayed list of teasers based on a URL parameter such as &pg=2 This is often awkward for caching regimes as you really need to use a hash of the query string in order to be sure you are looking at the right cache.

You can have webskin caches dynamically keyed by a hash of the pages URL by including the @@hashURL template level metadata, for example:


<!--- @@displayname: Article Pagination Rule --->
<!--- @@description: A bit of blurbage about what this rule can do. --->
<!--- @@author: Mat Bryant (<a href="mailto:mat@daemon.com.au">mat@daemon.com.au</a>)--->
<!--- @@hashURL: true --->


Note: you only have to include this directive inside the webskin that responds to the URL parameter. If this webskin is embedded inside another webskin the system will automatically determine what additional caches would need to be flushed in the event of a change in URL parameter.

Looks like this is not much improved after 3months.

I notice I can wrap code with a <code> block, but it makes some odd decisions and tries to reformat the code. It's not pretty. The only thing that seemed to work was to convert all angle brackets to html entities -- but only the most desperate are going to muck around with that.

The best code snippet options I've seen are through http://stackoverflow.com/ -- they use a Markdown approach to content.

As it is, we can't really support developers through GetSatisfaction -- although I imagine its a great solution for end users.

modius replied on September 19, 2008 02:51 to the discussion "Sharing code in GetSatisfaction" in Daemon:

So its possible to share code but it's not pretty at the moment.

1. convert your code snippet to HTML (ie. lots of entities for angle brackets)


2. dump that code into a <code> block


3. format to make it look nice

Clearly we need some improvements here.

Sharing code in GetSatisfaction

If we're going to use this forum to support FarCry it really needs to support code snippets as well as images.


    <grid:col span="8">
        <cfoutput>
        <h1>#stObj.title#</h1>
        #stObj.body#
        </cfoutput>
        <con:container label="#stobj.objectID#_center" />
    </grid:col>


So here's a code snippet.
