I wonder how well this plug-in work? I couldn't popup an alert.
The "application/x-systeminfo-widget" plug-in is WRT specific. I guess, it doesn't work either. Any way to fix this?

Thanks,

Hi Steven,

can you please provide more information about your problems with the Aptana plugin?

Problems

I decided to take a working example and try and run this.

1) The documentation is for the Apple Mac, the Windows user is told to seek advice in somewhere else. I had to Google.
Uses Safari not FireFox

2) I had to use the WRT Blog to set up most of this.

3) I had to find by google the Aptana studio download and configure.

4) I have now PARTLY configured the Aptana connection to Firefox, this is STILL not working.

5) The example used in the WRT BLOG works, so whats wrong.

The answers appear to be the need to enable Nokia WRT
along with Firefox and IE7

This appears to have nothing to do with the s60 extension!

Thanks
Jim

Hi Pit,

I start by just create a default demo project. With the following in the basic.js file:

function init()
{
// Add your code stpes here
menu.setRightSoftkeyLabel("Demo", hello);
}

function hello(){
alert("Hello!");
}

With the following in the index.html:

<body onLoad="javascript:init();">
Demo
</body>

What it should do is setup the right-softkey and pop up an alert when the right-softkey is pressed. It ran fine on the device. However, it doesn't work on the S60 plug-in on the aptana.

Any thought?

Steven,

Looks like this is a bug in the WRT API emulation. I'll log the bug and pass it to our team. Thanks for reporting this.

Hello World Problem
-------------------
Create Project "New Web runtime Widget S60"
called this "BasicWidget"
Build Project
Debug as starting file
file:///C:\Users\Jim\Documents\AptanaStudio\BasicWidget\wrt_preview_main.html

on console error message

PHP Code:


TypeError: childToParent_Reference.$ is not a function

    at cancel() (BasicWidget/preview/script/lib/menu.js:236)

    at onfocus() (BasicWidget/preview/script/lib/widget.js:393)

Package the Project anyway and install into S60 5th Edition Emulation
This runs successfully
Install on N95 and this works.

Anyone got ideas
Jim

Hi Jim,

when debugging from within a desktop browser, you should use wrt_preview_frame.html file, that will load wrt_preview_main.html into an iframe tag.

Without doing so, childToParent_Reference will be undefined (as also the $() function) since it references window.parent object, that is actually the iframe parent window.

Hope it helps,
Pit

**jappit** · 2008-11-12, 15:20

Hi Steven,

about your issue: I've tested your code, and It seems to work correctly. Which browser are you using for testing (I've tested with FireFox)? Also, do you get any JS Exception?

Pit

EDIT: from more accurate testing, the problem actually exists, and could be related to a wrong softkeys visibility management.

**jappit** · 2008-11-12, 16:44

Hi dpodwall,

about softkey's issue noticed by Steven, I wrote some code bits that should be able to fix these 2 related problems:

* softkeys visibility (they should be hidden by default)
* right softkey functionality (not correctly working, as reported by Steven)

Could I send it to you, or post it here?

Pit

**dpodwall** · 2008-11-12, 22:35

Pit,

Thanks for the offer, but we're not able to accept code contributions that way. It's not a open-source project, and dealing with any potential IP issue is more complex than us just fixing the bug.

Hi Pit,
This works well now.
Further to this using Vista I created a new profile
this reloaded the Aptana debugger and Firefox debug automatically

The new workspace and created another HelloWorldWidget by Create new Project "New Web runtime Widget S60"

Now the Aptana runs on the internal web server
I dont know why this works must be some values corrected

Thanks again
Jim

Hi,
Well I have got the Hello world working.
I tried the RSS reader. This works on the N95,but I get an error which appears to be because the widget is not connecting to the RSS feed site.
------------
uncaught exception: Access to restricted URI denied (NS_ERROR_DOM_BAD_URI)
http://127.0.0.1:8000/RSSreader/FeedUpdateBroker.js
Line 33
------------

Is there any seeting need to be used for the RSS to connect to the feed correctly. the error is not authorized to use this URL
Thanks,
Jim

This is due to Same-Origin-Policy with the Firefox browser.

Add these lines

Code:

// Enable Universal Browser Read
if (netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege) 
	netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalBrowserRead");

before this code on FeedUpdateBroker.js

Code:

this.httpReq._open("GET", fullURL, true);

it should work.

Thanks,
Raghava

Hi
I managed to get rid of another error which would not allow permission using the
<SCRIPT> to sign this area of code

PHP Code:


  <SCRIPT>



    

// Enable Universal Browser Read

if (netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege) 

    netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalBrowserRead");



    //end patch

    

    // initiate the request

    this.httpReq.open("GET", fullURL, true);

    this.httpReq.send(null);

    </SCRIPT>

which was found at bottom of article at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/secu...pts.html#privs
debug now works outside the signed <SCRIPT> area.

Thanks,
Jim
