Quick IRC Cheat Sheet

Hi All,
There's been some indication from various folks that ya'll don't know IRC as well as you should. :)

So, here's a very brief crash-course in IRC commands and what they do. I'm pulling this mostly from memory, I'm sure there's some docs on freenode or elsewhere, and others that are more l33t than me that will fill in any gaps (AFAIK, most of the other commands deal with channel management):

Command	What it does
/me is hungry	* yourusername is hungry shows up in the channel
/nick newnick	change your username to newnick
/away message	set yourself as away (most multi-clients like gaim do this for you)
/msg somebody	send a private message to the user named 'somebody'. In Gaim, this comes up like any other instant message.
/query somebody	start a private chat with a user named 'somebody' most clients will open a new window for this
/whois somebody	get basic info on somebody, also lets you know if they're online
/join #channel	join the #channel chat room
/quit message	leave the server with a cleaver message
/help command	get help (at least on freenode)! if you specify command, it will give you help on that command. If not, it will list all available commands.

HTH!

Also /leave is very useful for just signing off one channel while 
leaving the others up.

I guess if nothing else, we can have a lightning talk on irc and 
#trizpug at the May meeting.

Josh, thanks for all your help at the Plone Jam last night. Folks, Josh 
got Rob all fixed up on a problem we've been joking about on the 
#trizpug channel for weeks.

And thanks to Mark who sat there with me until 9:30pm while I got the 
ArchGenXML patch finished.

BTW, here is the patch:

http://trac.secoora.org/portal/browser/RAMembers/trunk/RAMembers/archgenxml.setup.py.patch

I'm trying to get this into the AGX product trunk. It turned out last 
night that I don't have commit on Archetypes. So I'll work with the 
developers on their email list to either get them to accept the patch or 
get privileges to at least branch in the Archetypes svn.

And apparently, that patch is totally unnecessary if you simply install 
AGX with:

easy_install http://svn.plone.org/svn/archetypes/ArchGenXML/trunk/

I had this suspicion and should have check it before patching setup.py.

This tells me that distutils and setuptools are not a compatible as 
advertized. At least not downwardly.

So I won't be submitting this patch after all.

Rob Lineberger | 8 May 18:03

partial write up of last night's plone jam

Rob had a need to browse content from a page template and wanted to use
the ATReferenceBrowserWidget to do so. Getting ATReferenceBrowserWidget
to work in an AT schema is straightforward. In fact, in a tip that
newcomer Jonathan Schisler showed us, you can make all of your reference
fields into ATReferencBrowsers by setting two tagged values on the
"content" package in UML:

Tag = imports 
Value = from Products.ATReferenceBrowserWidget.ATReferenceBrowserWidget
import ReferenceBrowserWidget

Tag = default:widget:Reference
Value = ReferenceBrowserWidget

Then any reference line you draw between two classes will create a
reference field on your content type with a field name of the referenced
content type, and that reference field's widget will be an
ATReferenceBrowserWidget. 

But Rob needed to draw a widget on a page template, not on the edit tab
of a content type. So Josh Johnson pulled out some old code from his
spiffy Trac repository which went a little something like this:

Important part #1: the javascript for ATReferenceBrowserWidget:
```````````````````````````````````````````

<html metal:use-macro="here/main_template/macros/master">
  <head>
    <title tal:content="template/title">The title</title>
	
	<metal:javascript_head fill-slot="javascript_head_slot">
	   <tal:getjs tal:define="js
python:here.getUniqueWidgetAttr(context.Schema().fields(),
'helper_js');">
		<tal:js repeat="item js">
		  <script type="text/javascript"
				  charset="iso-8859-1"
				  tal:condition="python:exists('portal/%s' % item)"
				  tal:attributes="src string:$portal_url/$item">
		  </script>
		</tal:js>
	  </tal:getjs>
	</metal:javascript_head> 
  </head>
  <body>

Important part #2: using ATReferenceBrowserWidget:
```````````````````````````````````````````
<metal:field use-macro="python:context.widget('otherGenelist',
mode='edit')">My Field</metal:field>

It is important to note two things about this solution.  One, it is
context dependent, so if the current context doesn't have a field in its
schema called otherGenelist the page template will barf. Two, you
shouldn't be doing this anyway.  You should really be using Zope's
formlib and use Z3 style adapters, interfaces, browser.zcml, and other
cool stuff which only ubercool people grasp.
