Adding modal dialog option for a "not ok" button

[willray]

Gus,

Could I impose upon you to add something like the following to JSTalk as distributed with VoodooPad?

(in JSTExtras.m)

- (NSInteger) displayDialog:(NSString*)msg withTitle:(NSString*)title withOK:(NSString*)oktxt withNOK:(NSString*)noktxt {

    

    NSAlert *alert = [NSAlert alertWithMessageText:title defaultButton:oktxt alternateButton:noktxt otherButton:nil informativeTextWithFormat:msg];

    

    NSInteger button = [alert runModal];

    

    return button;

}

I have a voodoopad application that I'm finally getting around to updating to VP5.  My VP4 version is running a private hacked JSTalk with that tweak to give me dialogs that a user can cancel, as well as accept.  I'd like to distribute what I've built in VoodooPad to a wider audience, but I'd rather not require them to install a custom JSTalk version into the software.

I'm not familiar/fluid enough with github to easily jump into the git model of development and send you a pull request, but if you'd like, I can fuddle through that to get the edit up to you in-place.

If I can get this all working in a default installation of VoodooPad, I'm happy to share the base application (a rather deeply automated lab-notebook type diary) with the community.

Yea, I can see about getting that in there.  If you want to add a patch to JSTExtras.m on the mocha branch, that'll get it added faster.  Though I do really want to get some time to work on JSTalk 2.0, which this could easily go into.

Can you give me a real-quick-like pointer to how I find, and patch, the mocha branch?

I'm a dinosaur.  I speak SCCS, and can muddle my way along with some pain in systems as modern as SVN, but git confuses me.

I'm happy to contribute to your JSTalk/etc development efforts where I can - I have quite a lot of plans for what I'd like to do with VoodooPad, and hacking additional functionality into JSTalk will certainly help with that.   I'm pretty crappy with modern source-control systems, but code, that I grok...

git clone https://github.com/ccgus/jstalk.git

cd jstalk

git checkout Mocha

Now you're working on the Mocha branch!

You can also use GitHub's Mac client which might be a bit fancier:

http://mac.github.com

So you can fork JSTalk, then check out your guy, switch branches, and then push them back to your fork and send me a pull request.

Well, let's see if that does it.

I'm still a little fuzzy on my understanding of the branches and forks concepts, but I think I've got edits in the right file, and pushed back up to github...
