anchors behaving like buttons?
by Derek Brans 26 Jun '03

26 Jun '03

In Seaside, is there a way to have an anchor tag that will submit a form and perform an action (behaving just like a button)?

inHeadDo:

In Seaside 2.21, the renderer has the #inHeadDo: method. For Seaside 2.3, the renderer appears to be significantly changed. Where's the equivalent of #inHeadDo:? Nevin

The best combination of stuff for SeaSide?
by Yoshiki.Ohshima＠acm.org 05 Jun '03

05 Jun '03

Hello, Now I found that I need to develop some web application to feed myself. This application requires database connectivity to possibly MySQL, to generate rather plain web pages, to let the client download CSV files, and (yes) Japanese character handling. I would like to know that what is the typical (best) configuration to use to build such application. It seems that the multilingualization package works on 3.4, so if I don't have to move to 3.5 to take advantage of latest SeaSide/Commanche stuff, I would rather stay at 3.4. If you guys highly recommend to move to 3.5, I can do that actually. I once tried the MySQL driver with m17n package and it seemed to work with some modification. But it was on 3.4 so I would like to know how MySQL package works in 3.5 from your experiences. Thank you, -- Yoshiki

Templates
by Derek Brans 04 Jun '03

I've been doing templates in the following way: I post an html document (the template) at a url somewhere on the web. In Seaside there is a component class, a subclass of WATemplate, that knows the url of that particular html template. When the class initializes, it fetches the html template and parses it: I have tags like "seaside-mainContent" and "seaside-title" and "seaside-messagebox" that get replaced by components. Where the mapping of tags-to-components occurs is arbitrary. Anytime I change the template in Dreamweaver, I upload the template and I re-initialize my seaside template class to fetch the changes. This system is simple and useful (I have used it on two different projects). I wonder if with some intelligent design modifications it could be a useful to others?

A quick and dirty solution would be to create a subclass of XProgramming.SUnit.TestCase in the Smalltalk namespace. This could be a small pre-requisite filein for post VW5i and wouldn't be needed for those still running VW3 (at least one person wants this). >> - UndefinedObject>>renderOn: doesn't file in because UndefinedObject >> class>>methodsFor: is disabled in VW 7. > > Interesting. Why?? There is a comment about disabling it so that fileins of methods on nonexistent classes will bring up a notifier. It's a little irritating in this case, but you can just proceed through it. >> There are still lots of classes in Undeclared and lots of missing >> methods, but being able to easily filein is a huge step forward. > > There isn't a simple way to get a complete list of these, is there? Since I'm writing code to create these VW fileOuts, one thing it could do is copy in > whatever support methods (or classes) from Squeak are needed. I can easily send you a list of the classes in Undeclared. I'm not sure of the best way to find the missing methods - there is a lot of noise in the transcript. Here are the contents of the "Undeclared" namespace after filein: #Base64MimeConverter #Browser #Continuation #cookies and #headers from WAResponse>>initialize #Display #FileDirectory #HttpRequest #IllegalResumeAttempt #ImageSegment #MessageTally #PackageManager #RBParser (Refactory.Browser.RBParser in VW) #RWBinaryOrTextStream #SeasideVWInfo (referenced but not defined in filein) #Sensor #SMTPSocket #Utilities #UUID #WAConfirmingCounter #WAInformingCounter #WAKom #WeakIdentityKeyDictionary (VW has WeakDictionary. The first line of the class comment says: I am a dictionary whose valueArray is a WeakArray. I am fully protocol-compatible with IdentityDictionary. The lookup is done using == rather than =. #WeakSet VW doesn't have one of these. I HACKED up one as a subclass of WeakDictionary in my first port.

All it should take is the FileOut30 parcel loaded. I took a few minutes to file this in and found the following: - You also need to load the SUnit parcel. - TestCase is Xprogramming.Sunit.TestCase - WADateTable>>renderContentOn: still has curly braces. This brings up one of those syntax error windows that you can't recover from. I edited the orignal file and started over. - UndefinedObject>>renderOn: doesn't file in because UndefinedObject class>>methodsFor: is disabled in VW 7. You can just proceed from this. - WAApplicationList class>>initialize fails in WAApplication>>takePreferences: because VW's Array does not have #associationsDo: Change #associationsDo: to #do: and proceed - WAApplicationList class>>initialize fails because FillInTheBlank does not exist in VW Change FillInTheBlank to Dialog, save and proceed There are still lots of classes in Undeclared and lots of missing methods, but being able to easily filein is a huge step forward. -david

new snapshot, VW, emailing stack traces
by Avi Bryant 28 May '03

28 May '03

Hi all, I just did some work to enable emailing stack traces to be mailed out as Nevin and Derek were discussing, and thought it was a good time to post a new snapshot. It's up at http://beta4.com/seaside2/downloads/Seaside2.3b2.st To turn on stack trace emails, go to the config page for your app and change Error Page to WAEmailErrorPage. I'm also going to start putting up versions that can file in cleanly to VW (not that they'll work, just file in). So David, if you're there, you might want to grab http://beta4.com/seaside2/downloads/SeasideVW2.3b2.st and let me know how it works. All it should take is the FileOut30 parcel loaded. I may type up a proper list of changes later, but for now if you're interested you can look at the CVS logs: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/seaside/aubergines/seaside/S…

Google placement examples?
by Nevin Pratt 25 May '03

25 May '03

Does anybody have a single example of a Seaside web page that has *any* placement at all with Google? Our site, http://www.bountifulbaby.com, used to enjoy the #1 position with Google when you searched on the two words 'reborn berenguer' (either with or without the quotes-- it didn't matter). But now, we seem to have zero placement (other than residual references to old pages that no longer exist since I converted to Seaside). Nevin
