PorteXy's Future

Hey there,

I was very excited about the new robot API, but after reading a bit in the new docs' and sources I decided to freeze the project.
In my opinion the new API is too focused on activeness of a robot and Google turned the architecture into a bunch of uncontrolable code.Maybe I will skip a generation and look at it later...

So thank you for your support, the old version (7.0 wasn't it?) is still deployed and working. The datasets in the database will not be deleted. You can still try out and look how it was like programming with the_old_robot_api
anno 2009.
Codesite and subversion is still online and if you have an interest in the programming or the algorithm used please ask me- write me a wave *g* or email / buzz / tweet me.
Bye!

New API

Hey forum,

the new API is deployed!!!! yaaay.

But I'm much into work now and won't update the bots till 2-3 weeks. My damned PC-Screen break-down and I am waiting for my new "Nvidia 3D Vision Ready Full HD" Monitor.

I took a closer look at the new iterators, looks pretty clean for me. But at least this is a 180 degree turn of functionality and I guess I have to built it up again from zero.

In my opinion, Pamela Fox will release a new version of her exporty bot in python. I'll wait for her ;D

So till then,

bya!

SHORT UPDATE:

I deployed a new version with a changed usermessage. The whole export thing in the sandbox seem to be buggy as the bolding in the message.
I don't have much time to look at this closer... I'll give you more updates later.

Sorry..

Hey guys,

I am now really into work (after evening too ;D) and can't reply to every message.
I am very glad to hear, that you have much interest in my tools and I am planning more robots.

But I need your ideas !
So please mail me more ideas, I found really nice ones' last week in my inbox.

If you are using portexy now, please read the appended textblip. I know that 15th is over, but the new API is not released now. Please be gentle, if you want the source code you can find the subversion at the code side.
Everything you need is in the sidebar.

Thx folks and bye :D

Busy busy

After some days of setting up a new laptop etc pp I found time to structure the porteXy v7.
I did not fix any of the bugs below, but I outsourced the html into a single class and added a pdf class. The pdf class will be a new exportation type, for the parsing I use pdfjet, this might be compatible to AppEngine.
We'll see.
So v7 provides the new features:

• PDF Export 
• new GUI for creating a html or pdf export

Both of them are not live yet, but locally I am now testing some features. And yeah, I really need to fix the bugs.

Thx for all the positive answers to the bot :)

Still problems left

There are some problems:

• The < > characters are not escaped correctly yet
• A waveid might not be unique- I need to add the waveletid to the database query
• Password input is not secured for sql injection
• The link to the original Wave does not work properly

I'm looking at these issues after the new api deployment. I guess I will have to deploy a complete new robot afterwards too.

Features added

Hey there,

I stood up really early this morning and added some new features to porteXy.

• Check if wave is public, if not then a Password will be generated you need to enter to view the content
• added a footer with my name and the porteXy logo.

I will put the source up in a few minutes. The links below are still valid.
I put the source up and solved some issues with the password. I will comment it later today.
There is still a problem with the link to the original wave, I will investigate it.

Sample Pictures

Source is up

Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/portexy/


Google Code: https://code.google.com/p/portexy/source/browse/

A few things need to be done though, but I will have a look at this later this week.
I also decided to write a little tutorial for JSP's and Google Wave, because there is none :)
