Version 2.5b6 for VW is ready
by Bany, Michel 06 Nov '05

06 Nov '05

I just published Seaside 2.5b6 for VW on the public repository. It is based upon Seaside2.5b6-avi.8.mcz 15-Jan-2005 16:15 i.e. the very latest version of 2.5b6. This port includes all the fixes that were discussed here: - file upload - lost halo icons and missing styles Note: I also fixed Seaside 2.5b5 on the public repository. For the fun, I added the Seaside logo on some of the pages. Bundle to load : either SeasideForWebToolkit or SeasideForSwazoo. Enjoy, Michel.

Nested form tags
by Bany, Michel 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

I came accross some weird situation when using a component that is a composition of other components. A subcomponent may in turn be a composition of some more components. To make things even more complex, some deeply nested subcomponents may call some other component. Some of the subcomponents may contain some input html tag and as such will require to be contained in a form html tag. In such a complex construct it may be difficult to decide exactly what component should have the responsibility to generate the form tag. Also, it happened frequently to me that form tags become nested especially when a subcomponent calls another component that happens to be a dialog. Therefore I am making the following suggestion : Seaside should prevent form tags from being nested. It should discard any form tag that occurs within a previously opened form tag. With this in place, I can design a component that needs a form with a form construct knowing that if my component happens to be used inside a form, then my form construct will be discarded. Otherwise my form construct will be preserved. If my component calls a dialog component, the form generated by the dialog component will be discarded if my component happens to be used from inside a form. Michel.

Panic button?
by Guenther Schmidt 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

Hi, is there a "Panic Button"?. I did something apparently stupid, while trying to run some code in Seaside. The systems memory consumption went from 30MB to 100+ MB and stays there (according to MemoryUsage) and feels sluggish. I reckon I've sent the system into some sort of loop and would like to break out of it. Any ideas how to do that? Günther

Beginnings of yet another tutorial
by David Shaffer 31 May '05

31 May '05

Hello folks. I put some of the documents that I already had and added some introductory material and I'm starting to think I have the beginnings of yet another Seaside tutorial. So, in the usual Squeak way I'm posting an incomplete document in hopes of getting comments and corrections from the community. Here's the URL: http://www.shaffer-consulting.com/david/Seaside/ Clearly many parts are not even started. I think some of the existing material might be helpful for a beginner though. I'll continue to work on it when I get a minute here and there. Hopefully the incomplete sections will gradually fill in over the summer. Please feel free to send me comments/corrections directly.

[ENH] WAForm to prevent degradation of rendered images
by Brent Pinkney 30 May '05

30 May '05

Hi, I am battling to get images to be rendered correctly. This problem has appeared on the list before and is caused by the Seaside API which (correctly) expects a Form instance as opposed to a file name. However, the the implementation of Form>>asMIMEDocument renders the Form as a GIF image with 8 bit depth. This caused horrible degradation. Since it is very useful to use filenames in the early part of development, I have implemented WAForm as a subclass of Form which remembers its contentType. WAForm overrides asMIMEDocument to answer a document with the original encoding an depth. This changeset requires a wee fix mimeTypesFor-brp, which is attached. Please advise if this is useful - it does facilitate using posh functions like html imageMapWithAction: [ :x | x halt. ] form: (WAForm formFromFileNamed: 'map.png') Regards -- Brent Pinkney Aircom International (SA) cell: +27 83 518 4167 tel: +27 11 324 3615 fax: +27 11 784 8027 e-mail: brent.pinkney(a)aircom.co.za

Re: Filing in from Dolphin

I'd suggest you do a search for "Smalltalk SIF", where SIF stands for Smalltalk Interchange Format. You should find a Squeak and Dolphin version. I've used SIF to move stuff between Squeak and VAST, and Squeak and VW, but not Dolphin. (There's also something called Rosetta, but I've not used it).

2.50 and new prebuilt image
by Avi Bryant 29 May '05

29 May '05

Hi all, I've been holding off on releasing a "final" 2.5 version and a new prebuilt image until the release of Squeak 3.8. Now that 3.8 is out there, I've done both of these things; a 2.5.0 version is on SqueakMap and a new image is up at http://www.seaside.st/Download/Images/ . Please let me know of any problems you find with it, and feel free to commit fixes/modifications to the SqueakSource repoistory (http://www.squeaksource.com/Seaside), preferably with detailed commit logs.

Restore
by Guenther Schmidt 27 May '05

Avi, you mentioned that you might consider "porting" restore to Squeak. Pending all questions about licensing, would that be very difficult? Günther
