Hi!
I just wanted to drop some updates on RUM development.
- I verified that RUM runs on Pylons 1.0 (use toscawidgets 0.9.10 for
that).
- RUM has now an optional native excel output, just install
'xwlt' and use the 'xls' suffix for your index pages.
The template still points to 'csv'.
- RUM remembers now the columns displayed in a view.
This is done using browser cookies.
In consequence you can configure views invidually for each user.
This can save you much discussions which information/columns should be
displayed.
-By default it features now a much better print layout/behaviour when
using the browsers print button
- the query interface was much extended: it's now to possible to query
to-one relations with the rum query builder (these columns still have
to be inserted manually in the view for selection, details later). For
example: For an
photo object you could query
the '
place.name'.
It also allows abitrary deep nestings:
'
author.birthplace.name'
And if you query
'
place.name'
'
place.country.name
'
author.birthplace.name'
three references to the place table, it would make sure that
the first two refer to the same alias instance of the 'place' table,
but would ensure that another alias is used for
'
author.birthplace.name'.
Cheers,
Michael
