About Minibar

+ +Minibar is an alternative implementation of the +Fridge Poetry web app. +It doesn't do everything the original Fridge Poetry does (e.g. drag-and-drop is missing), +so I refer to it as a minibar rather than a full refrigerator :-) + +

+Some implementation details: + +

It is implemented directly in JavaScipt. It does not use Google Web Toolkit or any big JavaScript libraries. +
It has been tested and found to work in the following browsers: +
- On the Mac: Firefox 3.5 & 3.6, Safari 4.0, Opera 10.10 and + Google Chrome 4.0.249.49. +
- On Linux: Firefox 3.0.18 & 3.5, Opera 10.10. +
- On the Android Dev Phone: Android Mobile Safari 3.0.4 & 3.1.2 + and Android Opera Mini 4.2. +
+ It does not seem work in Internet Explorer 7 + (there are both styling and scripting issues). +
The implementation consist of two JavaScript files: + minibar.js (186 lines) + and support.js (147 lines). + The latter is also used in a small web app based on the + SALDO web services. +
To access the GF web service, it uses the + JSONP method + mentioned in the GF + web services paper, which allows the web app to be hosted on a different server + from the GF web service. (To demonstrate this, I put the Minibar demo on + www.cs.chalmers.se, while the GF server that it calls is on + www.grammaticalframework.org.) +
As an experiment, it does no use the grammars.xml file, + but instead calls a little CGI script, + grammars.cgi + which lists the .pgf in the directory, in JSONP format. (Note: if you want to install + this on your own computer, +
- if you click on the link, + the CGI script will be downloaded as grammars.cgi.txt, + but it should be called grammars.cgi and stored on the server + in the same directory as the grammar files. +
- for CGI scripts to work with lighttpd, "mod_cgi" needs to be included + in the definition of server.modules in the + lighttpd.conf file.) +
+
[Added 2010-02-16] There is a button for generating random sentences. +
[Added 2010-02-23] All translations are shown, not just the first one, if there are + multiple parses. +
[Added 2010-02-25] Next to each translation, there is now a little tree icon that + you can click on to see a drawing of an abstract syntax tree or a parse tree. If you click + on a drawing it collapses back into a tree icon. +
