  issue 31 (query fix to multiple LIKE, case insensitive, etc) commented on by kucerarichard   -   fixed an issue with allowable characters for keyword searches. on your input boxes way up at the front end, please filter, it is the best place to do it: keywords[i] = keywords[i].replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9 %^$.]/g, '.'); That regex needs to work in conjunction with the regex in trimpath core, this is a best compromise for keywords as far as I know. Added '.' in order to replace unacceptable characters with single wildcard. In practice I think this is acceptable: var js = this.sql; js = js.replace(/ AND /g, " && "); js = js.replace(/ OR /g, " || "); js = js.replace(/ = /g, " == "); js = js.replace(/ IS NULL/g, " == null"); js = js.replace(/ IS NOT NULL/g, " != null"); js = js.replace(/ NOT /g, " !

  issue 31 (query fix to multiple LIKE, case insensitive, etc) reported by kucerarichard   -   This release of trimpath core (trimpath query + trimpath JST + extras) contains 3 mods: mod 1: added 'i' for case insensitive mod 2: changed S to [a-zA-Z0-9 %^$]+ mod 3: multiple LIKEs Here is the code, but I attach trimpath core and minified version so you can drop in. In the future core may include the faster JST version that was circulating in the forums. Would also lump in some small utilities. var js = this.sql; js = js.replace(/ AND /g, " && "); js = js.replace(/ OR /g, " || "); js = js.replace(/ = /g, " == "); js = js.replace(/ IS NULL/g, " == null"); js = js.replace(/ IS NOT NULL/g, " != null"); js = js.replace(/ NOT /g, " !

  issue 12 (The ${ } syntax used by the templates hinder with the expres...) commented on by kucerarichard   -   If you need to make a case for your use of trimpath components in enterprise work... Current JSP/Java/Spring/Portal dev is on the map here--jquery jettison: http://www.infoq.com/articles/First-Cup-Web-2.0-Joel-Confino Trimpath jst/query offer great drop-in support for their advanced dev model (the optimized flow #2). They are just nibbling on the edges, whereas JST/query takes you directly into LAMP-like programming right in the browser. (Of course Javascript is nicer and more versatile than PHP ;-) They are still messing with DOM directly, no dom templates, no SQL. They also miss the further dev model of spade-like, where you can do most of your UI work in a single page with notepad++, simply refreshing a page in a local file. Then later move your JST and other JS pieces into slower less-interactive eclipse environment. I intend to use perhaps the latest version of junction one step further, to quickly model a complex and custom enterprise provisioning app.

  issue 12 (The ${ } syntax used by the templates hinder with the expres...) commented on by kucerarichard   -   You're also better off developing in a SPADE-ish setup with a static representative page -- Notepad++ editing the index.html and js source files, reload page, etc. Then copy the JSTs to a temporary buffer for the global search and replace of "${" with "\${", then copying the stuff to the real application context, into the JSP for example. That way you're in a fast lightweight dev loop most of the time, and the temporary buffer for replacement makes sure you don't confuse any JST syntax with the trimpath templates. For semi-round-trip: if you do a lot of tweaks in the JSP and you want to take them back the the SPADE env, browser VIEW SOURCE will remove all the backslashes '\', so you can just copy/paste back into the SPADE env. In practice when transitioning back into eclipse environment, it'll will pick out unbalanced tags in your templates, if they crept in while in notepad++, so that's one of the things you may end up fixing in eclipse env.

  issue 24 (Problem with IE) reported by smmusic   -   IE 8 was not rendering the output of the template because the content variable seen below in the template.js file was not initialized. TrimPath.parseDOMTemplate = function(elementInnerHTML, optDocument, optEtc) { //********* CUSTOMIZATION *********// content = elementInnerHTML; // Like textarea.innerHTML. .... Worked when I initialized it. var content = elementInnerHTML; // Like textarea.innerHTML.

  issue 12 (The ${ } syntax used by the templates hinder with the expres...) commented on by kucerarichard   -   Those are all clever workarounds. Through luck I use '\' within view JSPs for java portlet development (jboss). It looks pretty clean: <!-- Define template partials for view --> <textarea id="some_listing_jst" style="display:none;"> <table> <tr><td>Some ID</td><td>Status</td></tr> {for m in matters} <tr><td> \${m.matter_id}</td> <td>\${m.status} <a href="#" id="some_detail_link\${m.id}" class="some_detail_link">detail</a> <div id="some_detail_area\${m.id}"> </div> </td></tr> {forelse} <tr><td colspan="2">No matters on record.</tr> {/for} </table> </textarea> This is documented nowhere for JSP. I believe it's commonly accepted escaping for Java language itself. I just tried it.

  issue 16 (Error when a block is followed by multiple newlines) commented on by francis.auyeung   -   If you do have multiple newlines at the end of a trimpath block (for example, your trimpath is generated), one way to work around this bug is by adding (at least one) space characters to the end of the trimpath block. i.e. |if some_condition| $|show_value_a| |else| $|show_value_b| |/if| <!-- add blank spaces after the if -->

  issue 23 (Wiki documentation uses deprecated language="javascript" att...) reported by goulvench   -   Nothing really important, but to avoid unnecessary spread of the deprecated "language" attribute, you might want to update the "10 Minute Introduction To JST" to use the standard syntax <script type="text/javascript">...</script>. Just to avoid users complaining about their pages not validating after using the script...

  issue 21 (If context is a string message isn't very clear.) reported by buckett   -   What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. TrimPath.processDOMTemplate("someNodeId", "some string"); What is the expected output? What do you see instead? You get: context._MODIFIERS is undefined in the javascript console. It would be nice if you got a better error (exception?). What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? trimpath-template-1.0.38 Please provide any additional information below. You could add something like this to TrimPath.parseTemplate_etc.Template if (typeof context != "object") throw "Context must be an object but is an "+ typeof context;
