cassius and tag folding.
by jason foutz 13 Mar '11

I'm getting started with Yesod and some html5 stuff. The actual CSS should look something like .flexbox { display: -webkit-box; -webkit-box-orient: horizontal; display: -moz-box; -moz-box-orient: horizontal; display: box; box-orient: horizontal; } but when i do this in cassius .flexbox display: box display: -moz-box display: -webkit-box box-orient: horizontal -moz-box-orient: horizontal -webkit-box-orient: horizontal the display: get's flattened down to the last value listed. Is there a good way to do this? Thanks for any advice. Jason

When I try and run widgets, I get this barfing on the browser. %meta!keywords=haskell %h1#$i$ Welcome to my first widget!!!%p%a!href=@RootR@ Recursive link.%p%a!href=@FormR@ Check out the form.%p.noscript Your script did not load. :( Brought to you by Yesod Widgets™ I'm not sure how this might happen. Any clues as to what I am doing wrong?

Having trouble sorting through the code for haskellers.com
by Michael Litchard 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

I tried running the codebase, and got this error. runhaskell fastcgi.hs fastcgi.hs: SqlError {seState = "", seNativeError = 1, seErrorMsg = "connectPostgreSQL: FATAL: password authentication failed for user \"haskellers\"\nFATAL: password authentication failed for user \"haskellers\"\n"} That's fine. I just need to know what the expected password should be, right? Then I can set up the postgres user Haskellers properly. Except I can't find exactly where a password/username are being passed. Telling me which file I should stare at until enlightenment comes would be helpful.

WAI, http-enumerator, json-enumerator
by Антон Чешков 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Hello All. Could anyone provide simple wai application example to better understand json-enumerator and http-enumerator works. This application must make: 1. takes POST request with json data "{a : 0}" 2. extract json data and with json-enumerator change value of "a" from 0 to 1 3. send post request to URL (for example http://bla-bla.com) with http-enumerator with json data "{a : 1}" 4. recieve response from http://bla-bla.com 5. send response with json data "{a : 1}" Thanks. -- Best regards, Cheshkov Anton Phone: +7 909 005 18 82 Skype: cheshkov_anton

Fwd: [Haskell-cafe] type safe web forms at compile time Was: Re: Ur vs Haskell
by Alberto G. Corona 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

forward to web-devel: WASH is full of wonderful ideas . packed in a not so wonderful syntax. It is worth to evolve it. WASH does force form safety in a similar way to Formlets <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/formlets>: because the form and the form read code are generated automatically by a class instance. So there is no need for, type checking safety The problem comes when the form is generated and/or maintained( edited by some people (some forms have lot of formating in the real world) while the form handling code is .maintained by some other people, the programmers. In this real case , type cheching is very important. 2011/3/2 Marc Weber <marco-oweber(a)gmx.de> Excerpts from Alberto G.

type safe web forms at compile time Was: Re: [Haskell-cafe] Ur vs Haskell
by Alberto G. Corona 02 Mar '11

Hi. Some time ago I forgot to forward this message to thie ur versus Haskell <http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2011-January/088060.html>discussion, (as usual) --- The most impressive feature (of ur) is the compile time checking of conformance between the form and the form results. This can be done in Haskell using HList magic and some class instances, I guess. ---- Since then I have been playing mentally with this. Recently I found something simple an interesting enough to share. (Although crude). It is a kind of typed form fields data Input a= Input String Type a (String -> Either String a) and a kind of heterogeneous list to aggregate form fields and results with the operator (:*): Input a :* Input b ;* Input c.... a :* b :* c and a (simulated for the purpose of demonstration) send-receive function that type match the form fields and the results: *Main> let form = Input "" Text "stringdata" novalidate :* Input "" Text (1::Integer) novalidate *Main> ask form >>= \(a :* b) -> return $ a ++ b <interactive>:1:0: No instance for (FormDigest (Input [Char] :* Input Integer) ([a] :* [a])) ...... notifying that there is no translation defined , because the result requires two lists of the same type when the form gives a string and an Integer But forcing the correct monomorphic types it does pattern match and return the values. *Main> ask form >>= \ (a :* b) -> print ('s':a) >> print ( fromInteger $ b) "sstringdata" 1 ask is just a simulation of HTTP one time interaction. It returns the input values. The whole loop involves the rendering of the form, with render: *Main> render form <input type="Text" name="var1" value="stringdata"/> <input type="Text" name="var2" value=1/> In a real case the results are read and validated from the the post values.They are (or can be) ordered sequentially acording with Input field names. The FormDigest instances do this work. There is no need to define new FormDigest instances. (although non one to one field-result can be created) The text is in literate haskell. There is a more elaborate example at the end. I know that the instances are non tail recursive and there are factorization pending but this is just a proof of concept: > {-# LANGUAGE > FlexibleInstances, > MultiParamTypeClasses, > TypeOperators > #-} > import Control.Monad.State The Heterogeneous list agregator. I tried to use GADTs but they does not easily pattern match > data x :* xs = x :* xs deriving (Read, Show, Eq) > infixr 5 :* > data Type= Hidden | Text deriving (Show, Read) -- to add all the types the input field, with text formatting, initial value and runtime validator > data Input a = Input String Type a (String -> Either [String] a) > instance(Show a)=> Show (Input a) where > show (Input _ _ x _) = show x rendering of the form need a sequentiation of field names.

Re: [web-devel] [Yesod] Teach me how to write to access
by Greg Weber 01 Mar '11

The default scaffolding site creates a connection pool at startup and stores it in the foundation type. You can access the foundation type in your handler with: y <- getYesod Look at the runDB function. It accesses the connection pool from the foundation type. Without knowing any more specifics of your situation, you probably just want to write a function runDB2 that runs against a different connection pool (to your other database) that you also create at startup. Greg Weber Hi > This might not be the correct answer to your problem, but I asked about how to pass a hashtable to the application in a prevoius mail. > The answer was to pass the ioref in the data constructor - Michael wrote a very good example at: https://github.com/snoyberg/haskell-web-rosetta/blob/master/counter/yesod.hs > It might be you can connect to the database, and then pass it on and handle this second db-connection manually? > Cheers, > Petter Egesund > On Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at 10:05 AM, Katsutoshi Itoh <cutsea110(a)gmail.com> > wrote: > Hi > > I write an application, which must to access 2 databases. > 1st is main database for this application. > 2nd database is used as main database by another application. > > Could you teach me how to write to access 2nd database? > Since there is no access to the 2nd database only partially, I'm a > little problem in an ad hoc way.

[Yesod] Teach me how to write to access second database.
by Katsutoshi Itoh 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

Hi I write an application, which must to access 2 databases. 1st is main database for this application. 2nd database is used as main database by another application. Could you teach me how to write to access 2nd database? Since there is no access to the 2nd database only partially, I'm a little problem in an ad hoc way.

ANN: Hakyll 3
by Jasper Van der Jeugt 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

Hello all, I've just uploaded the 3.0.0.0 version of Hakyll [1] to Hackage [2]. This is a complete rewrite, and completely backward-incompatible with previous versions. Sorry for that. On the other hand, I believe almost all aspects of the library have improved tremendously. Hakyll now uses a declarative EDSL in Haskell to specify compilation rules, and an arrow-based EDSL to describe the compilation process. If you want to have a quick look, I recommend have a glance at the example in the tutorial [3]. More documentation needs to be written, but I wanted to make sure I can incorporate your feedback into that process. [1]: http://jaspervdj.be/hakyll/ [2]: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hakyll-3.0.0.2 [3]: http://jaspervdj.be/hakyll/tutorial.html Cheers, Jasper
