Thanks to Kurt, I decided to wait on my purchase of an iPod. And boy am I glad I did - I was going to get a 5 giger for $299 and now I can get a 15 giger for $299! Sweeeet! Now I just have to figure out how I can use the shared drive on my XP machine as a music repository for iTunes. Importing songs across my network takes waaayyy too long.
Cool Comments (a.k.a. Twisty Comments) have been added to Roller's CVS. Grab it if you're brave and help me work out the bugs. I've published a how to on Roller's Wiki. It should work on IE 5.5+/Win and Mozilla/all (what a great browser). Doesn't seem to work on Safari, Camino or Opera, which is fine as it degrades nicely. My degraded comments page needs some work though - all the items in my menu are centered. Oh well, must be a missing <td> or some other closing element - I'll deal with it later.
I got the idea the cool comments you now see from Joe Hewitt. It wasn't too bad to implement, but there's still lots of quirks. Many of which you can see. The hardest part was figuring to implement XML loading in Mozilla. Joe is using the following method:
gMediaDoc = document.implementation.createDocument("", "media", null);
gMediaDoc.addEventListener("load", onMediaLoaded, false);
gMediaDoc.load(aURL);
Which works great when the file is on a filesystem, with a .xml extension. I couldn't get Roller to accept a .xml for my comment page's "link" attribute, so I had to resort to a lot of web research, and I came up with the following:
gMediaDoc = document.implementation.createDocument("", "", null);
var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlHttp.overrideMimeType("text/xml");
xmlHttp.open("GET", aURL, false);
xmlHttp.send(null);
gMediaDoc.loadXML(xmlHttp.responseXML.xml);
onMediaLoaded();
The loadXML method is provided by Erik Arvidsson's XML Extras. Thanks Erik! There's quite a bit of work to enable inline comments, but I promise to document a how to before it's released to the general public. Here's some problems I hope to fix before that.
That's all the enhancements I can think of for now. Tell me what you think and feel free to give these suckers a test drive.
Update: Strange - I'm seeing some errors that I didn't earlier. In IE6/WinXP, I get a JavaScript error ["Access is Denied" error (Line 149, Char 5)]. Also, I can see the "Remember Information" label here, whereas I couldn't on the machine I implemented this on (Win2K/IE6). Strangely enough, Julie's machine is Windows 2000/IE6, and these errors occur on hers as well. Looks like I have a lot more work to do!
The site is now running the latest and greatest version of Roller from CVS. Let me know if you see any issues, and as always, feel free to play around with my demo user (user: test, pw: roller).
This is huge (via Erik)! The second Matrix movie sequel is to open on giant Imax film screens in the US at the same time as standard cinemas. Fricken SWEEEEEETTTTTTT!!!! I'm so pumped to see this movie - and now it's going to be shown on IMAX?!! Man that's cool! I'm going to have to motivate a skip work day so a bunch of us can get together and see it when no else is there.
A question was asked on the display tag user list recently. Basically, the user wanted to add onmouseover and onmouseout events to the <tr>'s in a display-tag rendered table. Today, I decided to whip up a quick example of how to do this in a DOM-compliant browser. Just add an "id" attribute to your table, or use document.getElementsByTagName("table") (selecting the appropriate table in the array), and then put the following JavaScript block below your table. Of course, you must define a "tr.over" class in your CSS.
<script type="text/javascript">
var table = document.getElementById("testTable");
var rows = table.getElementsByTagName("tr");
for (i=0; i < rows.length; i++) {
rows[i].onmouseover = function() { this.className='over' };
rows[i].onmouseout = function() { this.className='' };
}
</script>
Now for an example:
Later: You can take this one step further and add an "onclick" event so that the user can edit the record the row is referring to. Let's pretend you have a link in the first <td> of the table. Inside this link is the recordId for that row. Adding an onclick to the row makes it easy to route the user to the details page for the record.
rows[i].onclick = function() {
var cell = this.getElementsByTagName("td")[0];
var link = cell.firstChild;
var id = link.firstChild.nodeValue;
location.href='URL to details page?recordId='+id;
this.style.cursor="wait";
}
I'm thinking about getting an iPod. I've been using a walkman tuned to the FM stations in Denver for my ride to/from work, but it's not cutting it anymore. So the question is "Which one?" There's a Windows version and a Mac version, and supposedly the iPod is configured to only work with one machine? My Windows machine has all my music on it, and my music-downloading software, so the Windows version is probably the best candidate. Another reason for the Windows version is that my Win box never moves - it's always at home.
5 gigs or 10? I only have around 500 songs - so 5 gigs is probably a good size. With 27 gigs free on my OS X hard drive, I don't really need more space. What I'm really asking here is: Send me links of good software for the iPod. I've heard rumors that there's stuff out there that'll allow you to use it on more than one machine. Feel free to remain anonymous, or use my contact page to send me an e-mail if you don't want to comment.
I'm encountering the following bugs with Roller's 0.9.7.1 - once I make sure I can reproduce them with the latest build, and the "x2" theme, I'll enter them as bugs (then hopefully fix them).
$macros.showAllNewsfeeds.I doubt I'll get to verifying/fixing these for a few days. Today is our 3 year anniversary, tomorrow will be another ride-home-day/late arrival (last night I got home at 8:00) and Thursday night I'm going to the Jimmy Buffett concert. As for today being our anniversary - it's been an awesome 5 years since I met Julie - getting married to her was the best decision I ever made, and having Abbie was the best decision we ever made. Life just keeps getting better, what luck!

This sounds like a cool idea - and should be easy to get working with Roller. However, I'm stumped on making this work. Hopefully someone can help me out with the following macro:
#foreach( $entry in $entries )
#if ($entry.getCategory().startsWith("Java"))
<div style="border-left: 2px solid red">
#else
<div style="border-left: 2px solid blue">
#end
Once I get this working, making my category menu use the same colors will be a great way to indicate which categories I've posted to.
