Hey all,

I'm trying to use Scalate with the latest version of Play and having
issues. I've posted some questions to the Scalate user group, but
haven't received any responses.

http://groups.google.com/group/scalate/browse_thread/thread/398cee0190a47a39

Is anyone using the latest versions of Play and Scalate successfully?

If not the latest versions, which versions are successfully working?

Thanks,

Matt

Don't know your answer but you can try default scala template, it works well even if not yet fully  documented!

Pascal

Hi Matt,

Looking at the Scalate module code, I don't think it can work as is
with Play Scala 0.9.1. The latest version is more than 1 year old, and
we have made a lot of changes in the API.

Which Scalate flavor do you try to use?

I tried to use SSP initially, but was hoping to move to Scaml/Jade
after I got that working.

I tried to build everything locally, but received the following
errors.

What's the best way to get things working again? Fork the github
project and update for Play Scala 0.9.1? Do you know if the maintainer
of play-scalate is still active?

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Guillaume!

What do you think about moving from Play-Scala templates to Scalate?

I'd like to use Scaml, too. And perhaps you could integrate your new template system into Scalate to keep everything compatible.

Best regards
Florian

I don't think so, but you can try to contact him. The integration of
Scalate is pretty difficult if you plan to get the same kind of
experience than the native Play scala template regarding auto-reload
and error reports.

You can try to port the module to 0.9.1, basically all it has to do is
to provide a plugin that detect changes to scaml file, and recompile
them. No special integration with the Play API is needed.
