Hi,

Would the Menu buttons at the top be too small if the are 200 pixels instead of 266 pixels?

Only one way to find out Give it a go and let's take a look. I'll be glad to give some feedback!

If you see this screen in Designer, you'll see that it is two data grids, side by side. The first grid, is simply styled by the data grid styles, look at the Style/StyleVariation tables. The second table, uses a designobj to specify the cell's style. If you open its designobj, you'll see the designobj #s. If you go to the designobj referenced, you'll see the graphic filename for the cell.

Thom,

To create new datagrids, but with the same functionality, do I only create them in HADesigner and Mysql? Or is there some programming involved?

Karel

[tschak909]

you should not need to create a new datagrid to display the same thing, unless:

* the number of rows/columns changed
* you're wanting to change the designobj cell is being used to render cells/rows

basically, if the parameters need to change for some reason, and it's not a designobj variation break....

But all you need to make sure is that the parameters are what you need, at least PK_DataGrid and DataGrid ID, and Extra options etc is what you need.

So I finally got some time on my hands to work on the skin again, but now my HA-Designer crashes 

Code:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.

Any Ideas?

I would suggest running /usr/pluto/bin/sqlCVS -v and fixing ONLY THE TABLES IN THE DESIGNER REPO.

I say this with quadruple caution, because this facility deletes table rows that do not have matching relations, getting the database back to a consistent state.

DO NOT LET IT DELETE DATA FROM TABLES IN THE LOCAL REPO
DO NOT LET IT DELETE DATA FROM TABLES IN THE LOCAL REPO

These tables naturally, do not have matching relations in other tables, so they will fail (due to MakeRelease prepping the database for end users)...

Be careful and make sure to only remove entries from tables in the designer repo.

Once you've done this, Designer should work again.

[DragonK]

Would this delete some of my changes to? What I've done so far?

Karel

[tschak909]

it will delete the change that caused the problem.

-Thom

[DragonK]

Thanx Thom,

It deleted my Style Variations......

In table: StyleVariation:FK_Style:27 Style:PK_Style:NULL
In table: StyleVariation:FK_Style:28 Style:PK_Style:NULL
Delete the offending records?  (BE CAREFUL!) [N/y]

HA-Designer now working  Off to work then.....

Any update on this Skin, is it possible to test it? And if so, how do I do that?

[DragonK]

Hi Guys,

Firstly an apology to all for taking sooooooo long.
I was out of town for a few weeks (work related) and then on holiday and moved house to.....(sum stuff still in boxes), and was unable to work on this. But I'm back now and going to finish it now.
Firts phase would be Main screen and Media. Then we'll take it from there.

Thom,

What do I need to do to upload the new skin, so that what I've done so far is available to the community for testing?
Also I've added the needed design objects for Fearisept's LCARS skin, so that it can be chosen from the skin list in webadmin. No need to overwrite the basic skin anymore. (P.S got his permission to upload the skin)

Anyone that wants to pitch in and help, ur welcom to PM me and we can take it from there.
ATM its me and Raymond aka RayBe

sheesh, you guys have been working on your own for so long, I do not know the state of your database.

I am afraid to let you guys check in, but that's what will have to happen.

Thom,

Learning HA-Designer and to get things working properly was the most time consuming. And getting the Graphics right.
If I have to redo everything that I've done thus far, I dont think it would take nearly as long.
U suggest starting with a "clean" newly installed Database?
