Version 27 of Webadmin for Metakit with Tclhttpd
Updated 2003-10-29 15:12:4910/22/2003 Stefan Vogel
I just wanted to get familar with metakits. So I build up a very simply but still useful (at least for me) Webadministration-Interface for MetaKit.
This webadministration Metakit@Web works with Tclhttpd.
With Metakit@Web (Version 0.4) you can:
- create metakit-database-files
- create, modify, delete views
- create, edit, delete rows
- view binaries
- test queries ...
Installation is quite simple (as always with Tclhttpd):
- Download the script "mkweb.tcl" from http://www.vogel-nest.de/tcl (or http://www.freewebs.com/vogel-nest/tcl/ )
- Copy the script "mkweb.tcl" to your tclhttpd-custom-directory (may be you have to patch your Tclhttpd so that custom-files are read: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=635083&group_id=12884&atid=112884 )
- Create a directory where you place your metakits (let's say: /metakits or c:/metakits)
- Adapt the directory in mkweb.tcl (e.g. set the array aConfig(databaseDir) to /metakits or c:/metakits)
- restart Tclhttpd
- Go to http://<yourdomain>/mkweb
Attention
This Webadmin-interface was developed only for me and my local installation of Tclhttpd.
- Currently there is no security implemented! Everyone who can access your webserver can access your metakits!!
- Only one user at a time should access Metakit@Web because the configuration-values are globally set (no sessions). Maybe someone wants to make this script session-aware?
- Be sure that no spider follows the links on the page (the delete-operation is available as a link, so be careful).
Next steps/Missing features:
- make it session-aware
You've been warned. But now ... have fun:
... Script removed ...

This is a screenshot from version 0.2 without subview-support.
And this is an actual one (although the Mac-Screendump looks a lot nicer!!!): 
rmax - This looks very nice indeed!
But I keep getting the following error whenever I invoke a link, that changes anything (creating/deleting databases, modifying views, adding rows, etc.):
[Stack trace and further discussion deleted - because error is fixed]
This is a terrific tool. Thank you! I've found a problem with the script that causes the textareas for editing a row to be rendered incorrectly (at least in Mozilla), it's line 609 which should be changed from this:
