Tutorial 13 - margins / paddings ? about aikau HOT 15 CLOSED

Thanks the feedback - it's greatly appreciated and I'm glad you've found the tutorial useful.

With regards to the width, since Aikau 1.0.31 it is now possible to configure a "maxWidth" attribute on the alfresco/renderers/Property (and therefore any widgets that inherit from it) that can be used to apply an ellipsis to long values (see http://dev.alfresco.com/resource/docs/aikau-jsdoc/Property.html).

This won't happen automatically unfortunately (i.e. it won't automatically detect when a value is too long) so you'll need to configure a value.

However, you're probably right that the ClassicWindow should use scrollbars on overflow (or should be configured to do so). I'll raise a bug to get that fixed.

Thanks again.

I've raised https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/AKU-644 and it's in the provisional plan for inclusion in our next sprint.

Thank you!
Then I want to add here info about one more "bug" in the tutorial:
Tutorial16, step 5. It does not work without adding "strict: false" to the visibility config. If it's an expected behaviour, then can you update the tutorial?

from aikau.

I think that would be an error in the tutorial - it's possible that the tutorial chapter was written before the changes mentioned here (https://www.alfresco.com/blogs/developer/2014/10/28/aikau-updates-to-dynamic-visibility-config/) ... I'll raise another issue to review and update that tutorial chapter as necessary.

from aikau.

I've raised https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/AKU-645 to cover the tutorial investigation/correction.

from aikau.

Can you elaborate a bit more on what you think is going wrong with Tutorial 16, step 5... I've tested it out on the latest version of Aikau and it works fine without the strict: false being applied.

The behaviour I'm seeing is that the text field is not initially visible (which is correct) but if you check the checkbox it becomes visible.

Can you describe the behaviour that you're seeing please?

from aikau.

Tried it again by removing strict:false, and now it works. Sorry for this. I don't know what changed.

from aikau.

No problem - thanks for checking again for me... I'm just glad it's working :)

from aikau.

Then one more question from my side. I know that I become annoying, I don't know is it a problem in a Tutorial or I'm not right again. I owe you a beer in Brussels in April if you'll not ban me because of all my issues :)

Tutorial 17. Step 5
After step 4 I can preview DOCX, PNG, XLS etc, but not PDF ("It has not been possible to load the PDF file"). After adding itemProperty: "", in the beginning of Step 5 I can preview PDF too.

But if I replace:

{
  name: "alfresco/renderers/PropertyLink",
  config: {
    propertyToRender: "node.properties.cm:name",
    publishTopic: "ALF_RETRIEVE_SINGLE_DOCUMENT_REQUEST",
    publishPayloadType: "PROCESS",
    useCurrentItemAsPayload: false,
    publishPayloadModifiers: ["processCurrentItemTokens"],
    publishPayload: {
      nodeRef: "{node.nodeRef}",
      rawData: true
    },                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
    renderFilter: [
      {
        property: "node.isContainer",
        values: [false]
      }
    ]
  }
}

with

{
  name: "alfresco/renderers/PropertyLink",
  config: {
    propertyToRender: "node.properties.cm:name",
    publishTopic: "ALF_RETRIEVE_SINGLE_DOCUMENT_REQUEST_SUCCESS",
    renderFilter: [
       {
          property: "node.isContainer",
          values: [false]
       }
    ]
  }
}

window with PDFJS disappears.

It's no problem answering questions - I'm always very happy to help people as it's useful to understand where there are gaps in the educational material available.

I'll have to step through the tutorial again with the latest version of Aikau to see if anything's changed... I can't see anything obviously wrong, but maybe we've inadvertently introduced a bug - I'll try and get to that later this week.

from aikau.

Ok, thank you! I met this on Aikau 1.0.39, I started the Tutorial a week ago. I'll try to update to the latest version.

from aikau.

If you're on 1.0.39 you should be fine... I meant that we might have broken it since the tutorial was written.

from aikau.

You're absolutely right... I've investigated the issue and we appear to have regressed the capabilities of AlfDocument in AKU-233. This has been broken since 1.0.14.

I've raised https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/AKU-656 to address the issue and it will be fixed in the 1.0.42 release. We will add a new unit test to prevent any future regressions.

Thanks for finding this for us.

from aikau.

Then I completed the Tutorial and don't have any other problems :) You may close the issue.

from aikau.

All issues reported in this thread have now been addressed.
