Avi and Julian ran a tutorial on Seaside (http://www.smalltalksolutions.com/schedule/presentations.htm#Bryant0). While at the show, I finally published a VisualWorks port of the latest Seaside snapshot to the Cincom public repository. )I suppose it would help if I actually told somebody about it :) There are 2 bundles to load in the following order: - Seaside-WebToolKit contains a package each for VW support classes, Squeak extensions and support for using the WebToolKit as the HTTP framework. If somebody wants to add support for a different HTTP framework (e.g. Swazoo), I would expect to see a new bundle that references the same core and Squeak compatibility packages. Note: The Squeak support package provides consists of entire Squeak classes and Squeak extensions to VW classes that are lifted directly from Squeak. Use of this package would seem to imply dependency on the Squeak license. I would prefer to eliminate this license entanglement, but its not a high priority for me at the moment. - Seaside contains all of the packages provided in Avi's snapshot. Avi is now able to provide snapshots in VW's XML source format with package information so it should be possible to keep the VW port synchronized with the Squeak version. This bundle still complains about undeclared far too much for my tastes, but it will load and run. After loading the bundles, look at AAADocumentation>>settingThingsUp for some instructions on configuring WebToolKit/VisualWave for running Seaside. I would like to thank Cees de Groot for producing the original Seaside 1.x port. His work provided an invaluable launching point for this version. I would also like to thank Avi for his efforts in supporting this port. Regards, David

Empty Tags (#tag:)
by Ilia Bykow 12 Jul '03

12 Jul '03

Hi, I don't currently have access to a computer with Squeak or Comanche/Seaside but I have a question regardless: The convenience method #tag: does it create "empty tags" which are do not close such as: <hr> or do they create "empty tags" which are self closing as described in the W3C HTML standard? <hr /> That is all.

by Marco Paga 09 Jul '03

09 Jul '03

Hi. I just trued to code a little statistics application and right after the saving the Image the UI doesn't react on mouse clicks. I can fire out commands from within Seaside (via web). I can make Seaside open an explorer but can't work with it. Anybody who can tell me what to do? regards marco -- Machines certainly can solve problems, store information, correlate, and play games -- but not with pleasure. -- Leo Rosten

multi-windows and javascript and frames
by Derek Brans 09 Jul '03

09 Jul '03

Has anyone taken a stab at multi-window, javascript and frames work with Seaside? I remember there was a thread "javascript anyone" a few months ago, but I don't know if any interesting development resulted. For example: -> a calendar popup that fills in the date on the parent page. -> javascript confirm and informs. Thanks.

Does this work for you? (WAS: Broken Seaside on SqueakMap)
by Nevin Pratt 06 Jul '03

06 Jul '03

In a previous thread, I talked about "Broken Seaside on SqueakMap". Here is the simplest case I could come up that exhibits the problem: Create two components (both are subclasses of WAComponent). Name one of them "MyComponent", and the other "MySubComponent". ****** Implement the following "MySubComponent" instance methods: doit self inform: 'You did it!' renderContentOn: html html form: [html submitButtonWithAction: [self doit] text: 'Press this button to do it!'] ****** Implement the following "MyComponent" instance method: renderContentOn: html | sub | sub _ MySubComponent new. html render: sub ****** Now via the usual 'config' app, define the "MyComponent" app, and execute it. When you press the button, the 'self inform:' never happens. However, you can put a 'self halt' in the #doit method, and it will halt, so you know that the #doit method is being executed. If I instead define the "MySubComponent" app (via 'config'), and execute it, the 'self inform:' works fine. Thus, the problem only happens when "MySubComponent" is embedded within "MyComponent" (and I think it is related to the 'delegate' scheme used in Seaside).

Broken Seaside on SqueakMap
by Nevin Pratt 03 Jul '03

03 Jul '03

If you install Comanche 5.1.1 from SqueakMap into a virgin image, and then install Seaside from SqueakMap: Now try the following from any component: html inform: 'This is a test'. It's broken. Nevin -- Nevin Pratt Bountiful Baby http://www.bountifulbaby.com (801) 992-3137

Can't seem to get HTTP Auth working
by Ken Causey 03 Jul '03

03 Jul '03

I'm trying to make use of Seaside for an application and have installed the current version from SqueakMap. One of the features involves HTTP Basic Authentication and looking around I thought subclassing WAComponent (call my class MyComponent for the sake of discussion) and using an incantation like this would have the desired effect: MyComponent registerAsApplication: 'myplace' sessionClass: WAAuthenticatedSession. WAKom startOn: 8000 But this doesn't seem to provide a different result from using the default session class. I've been investigating it all day (learning about Seaside in the process) and the best I can find so far is that WAControllerSession overrides WASession>>start: but then never calls self start. This would seem to be necessary for the authentication steps to take place as implemented by WAAuthenticatedSession>>start. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Ken Causey

Suggestion
by Markus Fritsche 02 Jul '03

02 Jul '03

Hi! I would like to ask if it is a good idea to change the standard components and dialogs (like inform: or confirm:) to be wrapped in a css class (for example 'inform', 'confirm') to make them changeable for the programmer without the need to alter the seaside code? Or is it better to build a own subclassed version of WAComponent? Regards, Markus
