Multi sites with Yesod or WAI
by Eric Schug 29 May '11

29 May '11

Is it possible to route applications based on the site name so that a single haskell process can support multiple sites with some shared data/applications? Is this handled at the WAI level or within Yesod? Eric

Yesod proxy
by Jeremy Hughes 29 May '11

29 May '11

Hi all, The app I'm writing uses a private file store accessible by HTTP (rackspace's cloud files). Some of what the app does is authenticate access to files in the store, a kind of selective proxy (or alternatively, like a static handler that can fetch http:// as well as file://). Before I go ahead and write a simple proxying function using http-enumerator &co, does one already exist in Yesod? And if not, any pointers on writing one and integrating it with GGHandler and HasReps? Cheers, Jeremy

Yesod. Hamlet . Templates
by Anton Cheshkov 26 May '11

26 May '11

Hello Michael, my question is i have the follow code *tpl1 :: tp1 -> tp2 -> Hamlet MyApp* *tpl1 p1 p2 = $(hamletFile "hamlet-template")* * * *tpl2 :: (tp1,tp2) -> Hamlet MyApp* *tpl2 (p1,p2) = $(hamletFile "hamlet-template")* Now we can use in hamlet template like *^{tpl1 p1 p2}* but next one does not work ^{tpl (p1,p2)} brackets give some wrong. why ? and how to get around ? Thanks. -- Best regards, Cheshkov Anton

Re: [web-devel] [hamlet] implicit spaces with newlines?
by Michael Snoyman 25 May '11

25 May '11

I'm concerned with introducing a new special character. Currently, #, @ and ^ all have special meaning wherever they are used, and \ has special meaning either at the beginning of the line or immediately following one of #@^. And I'm particularly concerned with using a common punctuation character to have a special meaning at the end of a line. How would we allow people to actually use an exclamation point?

[hamlet] implicit spaces with newlines?
by Patrick Palka 24 May '11

24 May '11

I find it a bit unintuitive that the hamlet code hello there or hello there generates the html hellothere I expected there to be a space between "hello" and "there" similar to what the html specifications dictate. Is this behavior intentional or an oversight? If it's the former, then what is the recommended way to simulate my expected behavior? Appending a space to the end of a line is mentally ugly and syntactically obscure.

Hello Michael, In new version of the *yesod-static-0.2.0* package the function "static" was changed. *static :: String -> FilePath -> IO Static* * * scaffold util (*yesod init*) does not support this new changes, and just scaffolded site does not work. Michael, please explain how to use new version of function. Thanks. -- Best regards, Cheshkov Anton

What's the most idiomatic way of embedding a persist key into a hamlet template? (By persist key I mean a value of type Key a)

Database connection laziness (yesod)
by Jeremy Hughes 17 May '11

17 May '11

Another lazy question: > fun :: Int -> Int > > foo a = runReader ask (fun a) > > bar a = runReader (return 3) (fun a) foo causes (fun a) to be evaluated but bar doesn't. Is the same true for database connections? Are they created lazily? I ask because it would be neat to be able to write: > runDB $ getFromCache cache key where getFromCache queries the DB only on a cache miss, and have a connection created only in the case of a cache miss. I have tried test this myself, but I can't get ghci to cooperate and load yesod from source. Cheers, J

Exception Handling on GHandler monad level
by Anton Cheshkov 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi Michael, i need to handle exception on GHandler monad level. We have: *type GHandler sub master = GGHandler<http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/yesod-core/0.8.1/doc/html/Yesod…> sub master (Iteratee<http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/enumerator/0.4.10/doc/html/Data…> ByteString<http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/bytestring/0.9.1.10/doc/html/Da…> IO<http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/base/4.3.1.0/doc/html/System-IO…> **)* * *data GGHandler sub master m a ... MonadControlIO<http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/monad-control/0.2.0.1/doc/html/…> m => MonadControlIO<http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/monad-control/0.2.0.1/doc/html/…> (GGHandler<http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/yesod-core/0.8.1/doc/html/Yesod…> sub master m) *(Iteratee<http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/enumerator/0.4.10/doc/html/Data…> ByteString<http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/bytestring/0.9.1.10/doc/html/Da…> IO<http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/base/4.3.1.0/doc/html/System-IO…> **) have no instance of * MonadControlIO<http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/monad-control/0.2.0.1/doc/html/…> thus we got error: No instance for (MonadControlIO (Data.Enumerator.Iteratee Data.ByteString.Internal.ByteString IO)) arising from a use of `E.catch' Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (MonadControlIO (Data.Enumerator.Iteratee Data.ByteString.Internal.ByteString IO)) i need something like: * * *function :: Handler (Maybe Int)* *function = do * * res <- E.catch (runDB $ do * * action1* * action2* * ... * * return 1* * )* * (\(e :: E.SomeException) -> return 0)* How i can get this ?

Yesod: facebook plugin
by Mathew de Detrich 17 May '11

17 May '11

I am currently transferring my website from using the client side flow version of facebook to using the server side flow (with the facebookauth helper) using Yesod and I am having issues getting the facebook plugin working. One of the interesting things I noticed is that the redirect_uri that Yesod outputs for my website is https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id= <REMOVED>&redirect_uri=http%3a%2f%2flocalhost%2fauth%2fpage%2ffacebook&scope=userEmail%2cuserName%2cuserPasswordHash%2cuserCountryCode%2cuserActivated" Now the way I read this, the field in your facebook app should be localhost/auth/page/faceboook/ however putting this gives the error that redirect_uri is not the same as specified in the application, so I changed this to the same as the destination route which is defined in YesodAuth as loginDest _ = RootR (so in this case its just localhost), however when doing this I get an error (from facebook) stating "Invalid Arguments" (I retrieve a HTML page with the following in the body) <body><h1>Invalid Arguments</h1><ul><li>No input found</li></ul></body> Is there a trivial example lying around implementing simple facebook login using Yesod
