Multiple entry point best practices
by Chad Nantais 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

I'm building an application that will have different entry points. It will be structured like this: main (MYMainComponent) -users (MYUserComponent) -photos (MYPhotoComponent) -places (MYPlaceComponent) This will allow users to bookmark, say, a photo with a url like '/seaside/myapp/photos/243'. I need all four to share the same application header, footer, and session so that it's one continuous application. I seem to have two options: 1. Create subdirectory entry points for each 2. Override WARenderLoopMain>>start: and create rules to dispatch requests to the right component. What's the smartest way to do this? In the case of #2, I don't know how to extract the component subdir from the url (eg: 'photos' in /seaside/myapp/photos/243). I only know how to get field values (eg: id=243). Thanks in advance for any tips. Chad

Hello, I have been doing some progress on my iCalendar during ESUG 2006. I uploaded an image on http://icalendar.seasidehosting.st Please feel free to play with it, so far it's only one "session" for everyone. I hope to add a user login system by the end of next week, and have a version people can start using. You can read about my project on my blog http://yann.monclair.info/summertalk Thank you very much, Yann

Magma seaside updated
by Keith Hodges 18 Sep '06

18 Sep '06

The 'Magma seaside' package has been updated in the www.squeaksource.com/MagmaTester repository, and it contains some useful new features. Experimental WAMagmaSharedSession - shares one magmaSession over many seaside sessions. WAMagmaControlPanel - now a WADispatcherEditor plugin, provides UI for creating, deleting and initialising repositories. Application specific control panels (e.g. PRMagmaControlPanel for pier) ReadStrategies - admin-user can now select a ReadStrategyClass from /seaside/config group #magma. - default read strategy class, builds read strategy via the repository root object. For those using Magma with seaside I would be interested to have any feedback since this is very much a work in progress, and collaboration is invited wherever possible. I would like to compare notes with others that may have done similar work in the past, such as incorporating ReadStrategies into a Magma Seaside application. many thanks in advance Keith ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

how to do keyword initialization of WAComponent children.
by Bakki Kudva 15 Sep '06

15 Sep '06

I trying a trivial example where I am doing this.... WAComponent subclass: LHFileClass subclass: LHFileCabinet Other children of LHFileClass are LHFileDrawer, LHFileFolder etc. LHFileClass is an abstract class which holds methods common to all. I want the initializer for children like, LHCabinet to be a keyword method (which I adapted from classes such as Point x:y:)which is simply name: aName which sets the name of the filing cabinet in its instance var name. It does this by actually calling a calss method setName: in LHFileClass name: aName "initialize new Filing Cabinet" ^self new setName: aName. But when I try to instantiate the class in the workspace I get: UndefinedObject(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: registerObjectForBacktacking. I tried adding super intialize to both children but still got the msg. TIA, bakki

by Diego Gomez Deck 13 Sep '06

13 Sep '06

Hi folks, I'm still hacking around Comet, ST2JS and SWT. You can see two screencast (sorry, in Spanish, but I hope they're clear enough) of, imho, some good examples of uses of Comet. Social-Shooping: Cooperative shopping cart. http://www.consultar.com/trastero/SocialShopping1.htm Unnamed: A spreadsheet, in the line of Spreadsheet 200, but colaborative. http://www.consultar.com/trastero/U1-Reducido.htm Comments are always welcomed.

Problem with german characters
by Jason Johnson 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

Hello group, I am working on a site in pier and the pages use german characters (öäü). They show up in the pages as "???". I started looking through the code while waiting to get on the pier list and I noticed that in pier all the text is input fine. In fact, the data is correct in the stream all the way to WARender>>writeOnLoadOn: Unfortunately in that function the connection gets reset and hangs my image so I can't track it past there in the debugger, at least not so far. Does anyone know the reason for this, or should I keep digging? I think the problem will wind up being in seaside somewhere or in the Commanche server code. Thanks in advance, Jason

11 Sep '06

Hello all, Anyone know of any image map components? I'm converting an existing web site to pier but they have an image map. If no one has one I will make one, I want to make it settings aware and stuff so I can release it later if anyone wants.

how to return to same position in page after #call?
by Chuck Kasmire 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

I have a long list of items in a page and for each one I have an 'edit' anchor. When clicked this opens up an editor on that item. When the editor is closed, I would like to have the list page re-display itself such that the item just edited is visible. Currently, it goes back to the top of the page, so I have to scroll down and find it again. Is there a way to return to the same position? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

l10n
by Pablo Lalloni 10 Sep '06

10 Sep '06

Hi, I'm trying to write a localized seaside application and have found this thread http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.seaside/3006 suggesting the use of DynamicBindings to setup somehow a NaturalLanguageTranslator for a given session to translate a String into the current user's language. While I understand the idea I'm a newbie in Seaside and can't realize how to implement this mechanism. How this should be done? -- pil
