Hi, On the configuration page of the MV website, there''s a mention about that it can be used stand-alone, outside of Rails. The page only mentions a short configuration example however, and there''s no explanation how it can actually be used to produce pages. I want to simply generate html files out of a database. Could anyone help me with this? thx mortee
Mortee - I''m probably going to be experimenting with this sort of thing over the next week or two, I''ll see what I can pull together to help explain this scenario and provide some examples. There are config options and rake tasks for generating rhtml files into the file systesm from masterview markup temmplates but that may not quite solve your problem if you''re trying to get to fully-generated html by evaluating erb in the rhtml. You might have to explain a bit more about what you''d like to do. ~ Deb On Fri, 19 Oct 2007 13:23:07 +0200, mortee wrote:> > Hi, > > On the configuration page of the MV website, there''s a mention about > that it can be used stand-alone, outside of Rails.

I''m trying to make the whole thing more Rails-like so that I can change to it easier later, when conditions let me do so. I guess we could benefit from MV within our current constraints if it can be used to produce pages without a real Rails environment. mortee -- The two basic principles of Windows system administration: * For minor problems, reboot * For major problems, reinstall

Maybe Deb''s notes on this will help some. Eventually, I would like to document and implement additional features to allow MasterView that would make it a good tool for other web frameworks beyond Rails, like MERB, Nitro, ramaze, etc. We can bring the power of MasterView to each of these environments without needing to change much in the codebase. Once Deb has a chance to post some notes, if you have any additional questions, feel free to post them here on the mailing list and we''ll do our best to help.

Not yet, sorry. It''s actually high prio, I have some sites I need to do some work along these lines for, but I live in southern California and everything on my schedule this past week has pretty much been shut down due to distractions etc from the fires in our area. (we were lucky, many others were not) ~ Deb On Fri, 26 Oct 2007 18:34:12 +0200, mortee wrote:> Deb Lewis wrote: >> Mortee - I''m probably going to be experimenting with this sort of thing >> over the next week or two, I''ll see what I can pull together to help >> explain this scenario and provide some examples. > > I''m just posting to have this group appear in gmane at last (: > > While at it: any progress worth mention with this issue? > > regards > mortee
Hello, Is there any progress with this since then? On the webpage, in the Configuration section I see reference to using MW outside Rails - bot nothing in the User Guide section. thx mortee On 10/26/2007 22:58, Deb Lewis wrote:> Not yet, sorry.

Nope, haven''t done any further work on standalone usage. I''m still running several sites with Masterview on older versions of rails, first priority would be to upgrade MasterView to Rails 3 and then I''d revisit alternate usage scenarios. ~ Deb On Wed, 21 Mar 2012 12:47:16 +0100, mortee wrote:> Hello, > > Is there any progress with this since then?
