LPSwitch, a UISwitch clone

[luddep]

Hello everyone,

I've been messing around a bit with creating a pretty much identical
(behavior wise, at least) clone of UISwitch for cappuccino tonight.

It requires my LPKit "framework" to run, but I've got a live demo up
at http://luddep.se/static/LPKit-Examples/ so you don't have to set
stuff up & jump through a bunch of hoops just to see what the controls
are like (with the added bonus of them being shown off in an aristo-
like theme).

You can both drag it to either side, or just click it and it'll work
as you would expect.
Anyhow, I'd love to get some feedback on this thing (& any other part
of LPKit for that matter), so if you've got any, shoot - I'm all ears.

The source is available at http://github.com/luddep/LPKit/blob/master/LPSwitch.j

Thanks,
Ludwig

The calendar component is gorgeous, well done.

Very cool! Question, what license are you using for LPAristo?

Oh, and I would probably try to match the size of the text used for
Aristo buttons on the LPSwitch.

I've downloaded the source.
Attempting to implement it but I get a javascript alert "IMPLEMENT
ANIMATION CURVES!!!"

Yes, really nice (and clean) indeed!

Hi Ludwig,

I am really impressed by you calendar component, which looks and
performs so much better than mine (couple of messages below).

Congrats. I will study your code an try to learn.

Regards.

Hello Ludwig,

Your work is really beautiful!

Thank you for sharing the code!

Sincerely,
Joel

Thanks everyone!

I personally don't use Aristo for any of my projects, so I'm not
really going for pixel perfection on the LPAristo theme - think of it
more as an example on how to use the theme API with LPKit.

But not everyone is like me, so if anyone wants to use it together
with Aristo in a production app, I can spend a few minutes tidying it
up :)

Ah, it requires that you run on the master branch - it's not supported
on 0.7.1 and below.
I should add that to the readme.. thanks for reminding me!

Again, thanks again for all the kind words. Now this is all on github,
so start forking! :)

Great...

As you state in your original post “so you don't have to set stuff up

& jump through a bunch of hoops just to see what the controls are

like” says a lot and has been a burr in my saddle for quite a while.

The simple starter package is awesome. No matter what your platform
you download it and begin to code. Instant results, everything just
works.

For the average guy busy doing a crash course on objective-C/J - all
the git branch pushing/pulling, updating with jake/rake or worse the
mac only nib/cib discussions can be negatively distracting.

Francisco/Ross/Tom: for all of us without sudo permission or not using
a mac or can we PLEASE get an update to the 7.1 (July 2009) starter
package?

We're planning on making nightly builds available soon. But you don't
need sudo to build/install, you just need to change the default paths.

In the sample docs it says: "see cappuccino docs on how to compile &
use themes".
Where is the docs?


I'm using the latest Atlas6 download and no longer get the "IMPLEMENT
ANIMATION CURVES!!!"
Now when I attempt to use the LPAristo theme as in the sample I get
the error:"*** Could not recognize executable code format."

Sorry about that, there were some changes recently to how bundles are
loaded and I forgot to make the example app compatible.
I've pushed the fix.

As for docs, there aren't any, yet. For initial instructions, check
this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/objectivej/browse_thread/thread/1508aee0d9b25af1/1b6fb461ec5fd6a8

That seems to have done it, thanks.

Still seems to be something missing to get it to work in Atlas as now
the fonts on the calendar have changed to serif font which is
different from the sample.

Here is what I've done.
Created a new cib project in Atlas.

Dropped the LPAristo folder (from the new Nov 21 example on git) into
the new projects folder.
Dropped the LPKit folder (from the Nov 7 version on git) into the new
projects Frameworks folder
Dropped the AppController.j from the new Nov 21 example into the new
projects folder.
Opened the new project in Atlas.
Build and Run.

I now get the error: *** Could not recognize executable code format.

If I just click on the index.html file from the new project,
everything works but for the font changes.

[luddep]

Here is an example app that runs LPKit alongside atlas:

http://cloud.github.com/downloads/luddep/LPKit-Examples/LPKit-Atlas.zip

It's using a built version of LPKit as well as symlinked (capp gen -l -
f --force) frameworks, which in turn is built from the latest jake
branch.

Hope this helps,
Ludwig

Hmmm, I suspect I'm still missing something.

I downloaded your zipped file.
Clicked on the index.html file - nothing loads due to missing
frameworks.
In the Foundation folder, replaced your aliases of AppKit, Foundation,
Objective-J with my latest copies from Atlas.
Clicked on the index.html file.
Sample loads and works. (fonts display as a serif font, not like your
online example).

Now for Atlas I opened the project file.
Clicked Build and Run.

Atlas displays a vague dialog message:
"An error occured while building

No such file or directory."

[meelash]

I'm not sure if this is the right way to get this working, but it
works:

The problem seems to be that building in Atlas only builds and copies
the official frameworks from the Frameworks directory.

To get around this, you can change the import statements, (both yours
and in the few LPKit sources that have imports from itself) to @import
"LPKit/.......j". Now, this will still not work by building in Atlas,
because Atlas seems to only get directories copied to the built
directory if they are in the Resources folder.

So, add LPKit directory to resources, and go through all your files
and LPKit's files replacing @import <LPKit/etc.j> with @import
"Resources/LPKit/etc.j"

Now Build and Run should work.

[luddep]

> In the Foundation folder, replaced your aliases of AppKit, Foundation,

Be sure to use the latest cappuccino frameworks (built from source,
*not* downloaded with atlas).
LPKit is quite bleeding edge, but as soon as the next point version of
cappuccino is released, I'll put up a compiled 0.1 version.

Meelash, There's no need for that.
I placed the already built LPKit (just run jake in its directory, or
copy the files from the .zip I linked) in Frameworks/, and it compiled
without any problems.

[meelash]

heh, I had actually given up on this because I didn't want to bother
you with something obvious, but I just happened to stumble across what
I was doing wrong. I forgot to copy LPKit to Frameworks/Debug and I
was building in debug mode, hence it was not working....
