Web help and a question

Hello all,

If so desired, I offer to update the Glade webpage as it is, to be at
least up-to-date with the versions that are coming out. Then we can try to
decide where we want to go. I don't have the time to do heroics, but it's
a pity the page doesn't reflect what's happening.

Then a small problem: How can I determine the 'state' of GtkBuilder
support in Glade-3? Is Builder support sufficient to be used, or should I
still use libglade and convert?

I saved a project in that format, but loading it gives:

(farma3:15536): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_show: assertion
`GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

main.c:

  GtkBuilder *builder;
  GtkWidget *LoginWindow;

  gtk_set_locale();
  gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

  builder = gtk_builder_new();
  gtk_builder_add_from_file(builder, "farma3.glade", NULL);
 
  LoginWindow = GTK_WIDGET(gtk_builder_get_object(builder, "LoginWindow"));
  gtk_builder_connect_signals(builder, NULL);          
  g_object_unref(G_OBJECT(builder));

  gtk_widget_show(LoginWindow);

  gtk_main();
  return 0;

In the xml file, LoginWindow appears as a GtkWindow:

  <object class="GtkWindow" id="LoginWindow">
    <property name="title" translatable="yes">Farma login</property>
    <property name="modal">True</property>
    <property name="window_position">center-always</property>
    <property name="type_hint">dialog</property>

Ok, let me just state for the record that my personal problem with the
website is that it is in HTML *and* has a news section, that needs to
be updated by hand, this is why I never update the site and why I
will sooner rewrite the whole site than go and painfully update it myself
again.

Content wise, I think we can do away completely with the "History"
and "Future" pages, which really only has alot of redundant
past release info that you can get on the gnome ftp server anyway.

It would be great if we could update the content in "applications"
and "links", i.e. list programs that use Glade, but not only the
ones who used it 10 years ago....

It is supposed to work by now and be usable.

Please attach the glade file to a bug so I can reproduce and fix it.

Thanks alot !

I suspect the server allows something like php? I'm no great programmer
(as you probably already detected), but I maintain my site in php. It has
about 700 pages.

But the main thing is that, when googling glade, you land on a page which
doesn't give any indication of progress since glade 3.1 or so. The links
to the downloads are hardwired to that directory too, and it takes
someone determined to find the newer versions.

Added some error checking to the xml-file-read, and got the message that
I need at least GTK+ 2.16... which isn't out yet. Now what? Back to
libglade? Or would 2.15 unstable do?

Yes unstable GTK+ works for GTK+ 2.16 targetted Glade files.

Just use trunk GTK+ and target 2.14 with Glade (and save anyway
if there are version errors).

Hopefully in the future we can always target on stable version of
GTK+ in the future than the one we released with (this cycle
GTK+ 2.16 happens to be comming out, but we still only
depend on GTK+ 2.14 to edit the files).

Cheers,
            -Tristan
