Usage of Leo plus mod_http plugin?

[Viktor Ransmayr]

Question to the Leo Community:

Are there users who actively use the mod_http plugin to read & write content from/to an outline?

Background of my question:

I've enabled the plugin in 6.0 beta 1 & viewed the quickstart.leo" outline in the browser.

My initial reaction: The look & feel in the browser is very basic - and - quite a bit of customization work would be necessary ...

I've then read the docstring provided with the plugin - and - now I'm not really sure if & how to proceed.

I'd like to hear your experiences & opinions, before investing more time!

With kind regards,

Viktor

Hi Viktor,

I use the plugin occasionally as an alternative way to view Leo data from 2 apps. I wasn't aware it offered anything more than 'Read Only' function.

I had another serious play with it today and jotted some notes:
With a page refresh your browser updates without having to save leo files. However a page refresh (F5) takes you back to the root node, so you have to re-navigate your way to the node you were focused on.

Pane/Font size - If I reduce font size to increase visible content, the scroll bar panes also reduce. The ratios are locked.

Browser behaviour:

Firefox browser displays the body text of local files, network files, and is the only browser which displays body text of files in ~home/.leo folder.

For example, Chrome and Edge do not display body text of MyLeoSettings file in a local ~home/.leo folder.

Using Chrome and Edge:
Local files - Headlines and body text are displayed.
Network files - Only Headlines are displayed. Body text is not displayed.

Someone more familiar with browser settings/ network access may want to comment further.

Regards

Lewis

And now that I have read the docstring, it obviously does more than 'read only' :)

Thanks for your notes! - I'll revisit the usage of Leo plus the
"mod_http" plugin in a Leo 6.0 environment again ...
