20111230¶
The Data Control Listing was too slow. Some more changes that go into 1.3.3:
New field body_html now stores the result of body(). Removed fields ‘header’ and ‘footer’ because
do text from html(self.header())doesn’t seem to work when used in a page header or footer. Changedconfig/lino/DataControlListing/Default.odt.odt files were missing in source distribution
settings.LINO.site_config didn’t update when the SiteConfig record had been modified.
And there were some plain bugs in my algorithm.
Added new function lino.utils.overlap() with testcases.
CustomTable¶
In the evening I started a little revolution: I split about half
of the code of lino.core.table.Table
into lino.core.table.AbstractTable
which becomes common base for
the new lino.core.table.CustomTable class.
A Custom Table doesn’t work on a Model but on some arbitrary data.
First example is
lino.apps.dsbe.models.OverviewClientsByUser
who does exactly the same as
lino.apps.dsbe.models.persons_by_user(),
but in a very different way.
This change opens new dimensions for writing “Listings”. One “detail” is missing: how to do a user form for entering volatile parameters to such CustomTables.
