#pyramid

hi guys, i have a pyramid application and i downloaded some bootstrap themes to incorporate into my app. for some reason the pictures/styles weren't rendering when i had them in my app/assets/img/1.jpg folder

i am using pycharm IDE to run it... when i put them in my static folder it seemed to render better, but still not completely. I was wondering if someone here might be able to help me as to why... when i link the img src="/static/ it seems to work but when i do img src="/assets/" it doesnt seem to register that directory

hi, anyone here know if pycharm automatically looks to render images/js/css from the static/templates folder? I downloaded a bootstrap theme and it had an "assets" folder and it was just not rendering for me.

breezy_: what do you mean the "assets" folder is not rendering for you

where did you put the folder? how are you serving it? what urls are you using?

hi raydeo, well, i put the folder in my package under the pyramid app. I'm also using chameleon templates w/ cookiecutter

did you add a static view for that folder?

or are you assuming pyramid will just magically serve data that you put there

i noticed in the __init__.py there was a config.add_static_view('static', 'static') function, and i was wondering if that had anything to do with how images/templates were viewed

it's a pretty significant reason, yes ;-)

that call is mounting the "static" folder at the "/static" url prefix

normally you'd put bootstrap stuff into that folder as well

but why then, when i have img src="/assets/img/1.jpg" it wouldnt render even though i was pointing directly to it?

do you have an add_static_view for the assets folder?

raydeo, that's what i ended up doing and it worked,

no i didnt add_static_view for the assets folder... do i have to do that?

I mean... yes

would that also be important to render the CSS/JS?

you mean the css/js in the assets folder?

yes

unless you add a static view for it, then pyramid is not serving it... you have to map the folder to a url

ok got it, thanks raydeo

Hello #Pyrmid.

im looking to generate some complex forms. IS there a community standard tool for this?

You can take a look at deform

that can generate forms from colander schema's

thank you :)

plone used to have support for generating highly complex interfaces from UML diagrams. What happened to that?

Plone is still around, but you are asking the wrong people :-)

oh ... aye, fair enough :)

breezy_ i suggest reading the docs about adding static assets

there is an overview: http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/...

a quick tutorial (step 13) of many: http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/...

and the deep dive into narrative docs: http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/...

there are some plonistas in here, but the #plone channel would be the better resource. there's also a good community forum

https://plone.org/support/chat and https://community.plone.org/

aye, I used to develop on plone in 2008... I never understood how the UML thing didnt catch on. Absolutely game changing... I think the deform will do nicely for what I Have in mind at the moment.

Thank you :)

Hi. Its not at all clear to me how Deform is integrated in Pyramid. I assume I need to add a directive to the project to include it. Is it the latest version?> Should I Just include it myself?

oh, I found it i think...

so I see that deform doesnt support conditional field display? This is done by custom javascript normally?

oh, its just occured to me, I can probabaly use a client side formengine instead

I Like this guy https://github.com/joshfire/jsonform/wiki

stevepiercy thanks i will!

i'll actually read the docs right now

breezy_ the overview is a good launch point, giving you an example and links to further reading

christophler you need to add it to setup.py, run `pip install -e .`, and all the usual things to install and configure pyramid add-ons

there are several good examples in the wiki tutorial

and in the Quick Tutorial

stevepiercy: thanks

christophler as far as conditional field display, do you mean something like a user clicks a radio button "Is Your Life Awful?" Yes/No, and if they select Yes, then display a textarea with the label "Describe How Awful Is Your Life"

Yes :) My life is horrific :/
