Integrating CLOG into an existing project that also uses CLACK.

[K1D77A]

Hi all,
I just wanted to share how I managed to integrate CLOG into an already existing website that used Ningle + CLACK.
But this would work for any HTTP server.
For context all of my webpages are generated using Spinneret (HTML5) + LASS (CSS).

To integrate into CLOG I had to do the following:

Start CLACK (for my original website) on port N1
Start CLOG on port N2

With Ningle create 2 routes one that returns a custom version of boot.js @ /js/boot.js
and the other returns jquery.min.js @ /js/jquery.min.js

I modified line 93 of boot.js to be

    if (location.port != '') { adr = adr + ':' + N1; }

Finally I add my #'clog:initialize
And add the scripts to the pages I want to integrate into CLOG.

  (spinneret:with-html
    (:script :src "/js/jquery.min.js" :type "text/javascript")
    (:script :src "/js/boot.js" :type "text/javascript")))

I am pointing this out because the tutorial that exists as an example of integrating into an existing project is ridiculous and using static .html files.

It would be nice if the /js/boot.js was written using Parenscript.

If I come up with a better solution I'll share it.
