Webdialogs: inputbox shows black background (sketchup webkit

Dan Rathbun · 5 Jul 2012, 21:45

It's much more complicated than that.

I have a patch that does similar.. (and more,) but we can't release such a thing without Boulder's blessing.

We have realized, that it's best not to show how to modify the API modules and classes. Some newbie's just run with it and start hacking away, and worse. (Yes we've all been guilty of openly discussing such things in the past. I'm sure I have. Sometimes we forget the "kids" come along and read what we've written later.)

Anyway... you don't need the literal block when you pass to the orig method, as the wrapper method has already converted any block argument to a Proc object.
So instead you do:
block_given? ? show_orig(&proc) : show_orig()

But it will not work like that, for the same reasons that the current API show(), show_modal() and set_on_close() block form methods do not work on Mac. (The webpage is never ready when Ruby executes the block.)

Improved my 'GreaseKit' UserScript using a file from Dan (cheers)

I added GreaseKit to SketchUp Menu and wrote a userScript to intercept ALL WebDialogs to add the patch.

It only affects input[type=text] even when it's not been declared. (e.g. at 3D Warehouse site)

Here are some instructions and my userScript if anyones interested.

You need to instal SIMBL and GreaseKit in these locations
/Library/Application\ Support/SIMBL
%(#4040BF)[/Library/Application\ Support/SIMBL/Plugins/GreaseKit.bundle
~/Library/Application Support/GreaseKit/apps.plist
~/Library/Application Support/GreaseKit/config.xml]
~/Library/Application\ Support/GreaseKit/inputPatch.user.js

Edit:SCRIPT REMOVED -better version below

add SketchUp to greaseKit from Safari Menu, then in SU Reload All UserScripts and Select 'InputPatch'
that's it

You could carefully "alias" the WebDialog class in SketchUp, that means you add a script that is loaded first where you redefine the UI::WebDialog.open method so that it injects your JavaScript after the WebDialog has opened. Maybe like (untested):

class UI;;WebDialog

  # this gives a new name to the method "show"
  alias ;show_orig ;show
  private ;show_orig

  def show(&proc)
    # this calls the original "show" method
    show_orig(&proc){ proc.call }
    execute_script(" /*your script*/ ")
  end

end

However re-defining base classes is something that no published plugin should do.

I found the same problem last week. The source of the problem is the Safari update that Apple pushed out last week (5.1.7). Here's a work-around for dynamic components: make the following edits in red to the manager.css and configurator.css files. (located in Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Tools/Dynamic Components/css)

In Manager.css:

.edit-field {
position: absolute;
border-top: 2px solid #3063C9;
border-left: 2px solid #3063C9;
border-right: 2px solid #A5C4FF;
border-bottom: 2px solid #A5C4FF;
background-color: white; font-size: 12px;
font-family: sans-serif;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
padding-left: 2px;
padding-top: 1px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}

In Configurator.css:

.config-field {
width: 100%;
font-size: 11px;
font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;
height: 22px;
background-color: white;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}

.config-field-readonly {
width: 100%;
font-size: 11px;
font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;
height: 22px;
background-color: threedface;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}

Thank you!! this worked for me!!!

Thanks guys!
I managed to get all the dialog boxes of 1001bit fixed following the suggestions on the css;

[attachment=0:1pgsvrh4]black_textbox_patch.jpg[/attachment:1pgsvrh4]

It's a lot of work to edit all the html files, but at least the problem is solved.
Cheers!

what files exactly did you modify?

phaseOne · 22 Jul 2012, 16:11

To avoid any confusion over installation of the script, I created this guide:

Download SIMBL
Unzip the file
Launch the SIMBL-..*.pkg installer
Download GreaseKit
Mount the GreaseKit-..dmg image
Copy GreaseKit.bundle to /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/
Launch Safari
Select the GreaseKit item in the menubar
Select Manage Applications...
Add Sketchup to the application list
Quit Safari
Download inputPatch.user.js created by driven (his original post)
Copy inputPatch.user.js to **~/**Library/Application Support/GreaseKit/
Launch SketchUp
Select inputPatch from the GreaseKit menu

Your text boxes are now white!

hi Phaseone,
Welcome to SCF and thanks for the guide on how to instal my GreaseKit solution.

It made me revisit the issue and I realise now that there is an even easier way to do this. [i.e. without SIMBL, GreaseKit or js injection]

In an earlier post from Aerilius
@unknownuser said:

Another idea, would a WebView also accept a user stylesheet (that would override the default background in all websites+webdialogs in SketchUp)?

Yes, Safari does it from the preference menu and I now have it working in SU, but what's the simplest way to share the 'how to'.

First you need a css file containing the patch code, in a place SU can find. So copy paste this into Ruby Console and hit return.

directory='/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins/__InputPatch/'
Dir;;mkdir(directory) unless File.exists?(directory)
filename='inputPatch.css'
File.open(directory + filename, 'w') do |iP|
iP.puts <<PATCH
input;not([type=button]);not([type=file]);not([type=checkbox]);not([type=image]);not([type=radio]);not([type=reset]);not([type=search]);not([type=submit]){background-color; rgb(255, 255, 255); border-bottom-color; rgb(238, 238, 238); border-bottom-style; inset; border-bottom-width; 1px; border-collapse; separate; border-left-color; rgb(238, 238, 238); border-left-style; inset; border-left-width; 1px; border-right-color; rgb(238, 238, 238); border-right-style; inset; border-right-width; 1px; border-top-color; rgb(238, 238, 238); border-top-style; inset; border-top-width; 1px;}
PATCH
end

it makes a folder + file in /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins/

Then if you have Pro8 copy/paste and return this.

`defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.sketchuppro8.plist WebKitUserStyleSheetEnabledPreferenceKey -bool True`
`defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.sketchuppro8.plist WebKitUserStyleSheetLocationPreferenceKey '/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins/__InputPatch/inputPatch.css'`

or for free try

`defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.sketchupfree8.plist WebKitUserStyleSheetEnabledPreferenceKey -bool True`
`defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.sketchupfree8.plist WebKitUserStyleSheetLocationPreferenceKey '/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins/__InputPatch/inputPatch.css'`

Restart SU
You only need to do this once, and all your input boxes in SU will work correctly [without editing any files]
If the problem is resolved in the future you can just bin the __inputPatch Folder

Thanks John

That's magic; a very elegant solution.

YEaH !!! John !
Corrected !
I had to do it twice.
(The cursor jumps at the end of the pasted text, so one does not see at once what has just been pasted in the Ruby console input field.)

Hi,

I have the same problem as a lot of others, I guess. Mac OS 10.6.8 + SU Pro 8.0.15157.
Tried your solution, and it works on DC's, but not on everything...or at least not with Fredo6 Tools, SU Clock etc etc.
I had the problem with 1001Bit plug but with the upgrade it was fixed.
Is it that the maker of the plugin does something wrong when writing the code (miss something)?
After your fix I seem to have no problem with DC's. That helps a lot - THANKS!
Is there something else to do? Tried your fix many times to make sure I did it right. Think I did.
Look at the result (pic). Is that "nil" OK?? ...or am I doing something when pasting?

Do you know if a full upgrade to Mountain Lion helps? Does anyone know?
Thankful for some help.
Cheers

Mountain Lion and SU8 Maintenance release 'M4' appears to have fixed the blackouts here.

I renamed my 'fix' folder to disable it and all I have checked works.

ML is much better IMHO.

Hi John,

Thanks! Can You tell me where to find "M4"? When I download from Trimble, it's only the "M3"...?????
When did they release M4, I downloaded today, 20120904, and it is still the same.

Cheers

It will take the "team" awhile to get the localized language releases ready.
