In the Ruby world there is Ferret. It's nearly the same as Lucene - great! Acts as Ferret integrates it in RoR. For the quickest introduction: a perfect slideshow best tutorial for acts_as_ferret another tutorial for acts on ferret introduction ferret in general To include german stemming do this. Some troubleshooting if this doesn't work. This configuration worked for me: acts_as_ferret( { :fields => { :fieldname1 =>{}, :fieldname2 =>{} } }, :analyzer => GermanStemmingAnalyzer.new ) To get informations about the current index for a Model: >> puts [Modelname].aaf_index.to_yaml or >> puts [Modelname].aaf_configuration.to_yaml typolis: Developing Web Applications sam ruby on rails, ferret, lucene Copyright © 2008 sam 2008-01-18T10:14:07Z http://developer.typolis.net/stories/13078/ It seems that some guys working at Google are using their 20% time for doing a ROR clone on Rhino. I would be interested if they know about the granddaddy of Rhino based web development framework Helma. Yeah, yeah ... in my dreams Google is pushing Rhino up the hill towards Javascript 2.0. typolis: Developing Web Applications sam helma, rhino, rails, javascript Copyright © 2007 sam 2007-06-28T05:26:15Z http://developer.typolis.net/stories/12566/ The Helma guys really did a good job with this collection of modules. I am using the form, l18n and rss2.0 module as well as the hopobject extension at the moment. It's all very well documented and together with the db prototyping functionality of rocket, it's a breeze to create the basic input/output and modelling. typolis: Developing Web Applications sam helma, prototyping, jala, development Copyright © 2007 sam 2007-05-27T08:53:30Z http://developer.typolis.net/stories/12133/ Helma development boosted with an integrated prototyping approach. Some time ago, I thought about adding more meta data to the type.properties, to have a kind of typing for Hop-Object properties. A few weeks ago, I stumbled over Rabbit. A nifty implementation of some prototyping functionality. Rabbit is great to build up your Helma App from scratch. But there are a few things I missed in Rabbit: A kind of database abstraction (MySql support in specific) More ellaborated form generation Input validation (serverside as well as clientside) Allow to build the central "Model" from different sources (Database, Existing-Sourcecode, JS-Object). Specifically: Use type.properties as a model definition I also wanted an approach to blend more with the further development process or even existing applications. The idea is to have a prototyping engine, that delivers core functionality for Web-Frameworks while letting the user overwrite/replace/extend this functionality in later development stages. So I took the Rabbit-Code as a base but changed most parts to my need. Here is a first "alpha" to be discussed/continued. Just try the sample application and see the code for further insights. rocket source v.0.1 (1, 32 KB) Features Metadata for Hop Object prototypes Automatic form/input generation DB/Table generation (MySql) Creation of the model from existing source Creation of folders/type.properties from the model Basic permission management/access control Basic List / Object viewer typolis: Developing Web Applications sam helma, prototyping, rocket, rabbit, download Copyright © 2007 sam 2007-04-29T08:46:16Z http://developer.typolis.net/stories/10411/ helps you testing your API...

Despite all annoyances, I don't want to switch back to PHP for my ongoing projects. But what to do for clients, having their websites hosted by a standard provider? I took the chance to look for new CMS Systems that may favour my needs for small/middle projects. It should be reduced to the maximum and best usability for editors/managers but flexible to extend and with a good API. To my surprise, I found some fresh projects that looks really interesting. CMS Made Simple was the first candidate. The design is a little rough, but the backend structure was a charme. I think, I would have given it a try, but then I discovered ModXCMS... ModXCms seems to be what I need. The backend structure isn't my favour at first sight. But it seems that this piece of code is also usable as an Aplication Framework. After all what I've read on Ajaxian I will give it a try and share my experience here. typolis: Developing Web Applications sam cms, php, modx Copyright © 2007 sam 2007-01-16T15:23:08Z http://developer.typolis.net/stories/3622/ Helma automatically builds nice urlpaths for object collections. In most cases this works fine, but if you want to use ":" or "@" in the accessname of the object, the pathes becomes messed up. ":" is then escaped to "%3A" and "@" is ecaped to "%40". typolis: Developing Web Applications sam helma, mapping, nice url's Copyright © 2006 sam 2006-05-22T14:27:46Z Search this site: q http://developer.typolis.net/search
