Wrapping ProtoTip
by Hwee-Boon Yar 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

I am wrapping around ProtoTip [1] by implementing SUTip as a subclass of SUNamed. And need some help. One of the parameters is a piece of HTML, e.g.: new Tip('myElementId', '<em>Italics here</em>'); Following the spirit of the SU* classes, I can do: html script: (html tip id: 'myElementId'; content: '<em>Italics here</em>') How do I use the canvas object, such as: html script: (html tip id: 'myElementId'; content: [:h | h em: 'Italics here'] [1] http://www.nickstakenburg.com/projects/prototip/ -- Hwee-Boon

CSS style - static vs dynamic
by Squeaker 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Greetings, I have read on the Seaside tutorial that #style > should return static (not generated) string literals containing snippets of CSS I have experimented with returning a dynamic string, generated at runtime, and things appear to work. I know that one disadvantage is that using the css with the halos will over-write my #style method but this is a tradeoff I am willing to live with. My question: What is the problem with generating the style string on the fly? Thanks, Frank

Albatross: How should I access the model?
by Matthias Berth 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Hello, in the Albatross paper [1] there is a section about "Model access" (p 15): > There is unlimited access to the > model available by the test component accessor ATestCase>>testComponent. Depending > on the test components code, we may access the model with self testComponent model > or likewise. The model access can be useful for assertions before and after user interactions. I'd like to do just that, e.g. accessing the Pier kernel after I have added / removed a page. The method testComponent seems to have migrated to AComponentWrapper, looking at its senders does not help. All the example tests seem to deal only with user interactions (browser click: etc). So, how do I access the model from inside an Albatross unit test? Cheers Matthias [1] http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/Archive/Projects/Brue06a.pdf

(Delay forSeconds: 10) wait. ] thenRender:[:r :value | r text: value] the inspector shows nil. what could be happening here? i've followed the message chain over the WATagBrush down to this method in BlockContext and BlockClosure valueWithing: onTimeout but i cannot figure out from there how can i fix this one. regards 2008/2/29, Alejandro Martínez <alemartinez2112(a)gmail.com>: > > thanks for your answer Ramon, it worked pretty fine. > > > 2008/2/29, Ramon Leon <ramon.leon(a)allresnet.com>: > > > > > > > > i need a progress bar for keeping the user notified about the > > > state of an operation, the best what i've read for that until > > > now is this : > > > > > > http://onsmalltalk.com/programming/smalltalk/polling-for-long- > > > running-processes/ > > > > > > but when i tested i get an infinite recursion (i think). > > > to test it, install the attached mcz on a test image, add an > > > entry point with SULibrary and open a Transcript. i added a > > > lot of output to understand what's happening. > > > maybe more experienced developers (Ramon Leon?) could fix it > > > or tell what's wrong? > > > > > > (note the callback of the periodical is never evaluated) > > > > > > That artcle is a bit out of date, download my image and check out the > > current version of those methods.

Looking for mentors and project ideas for Squeak's Summer of Code application
by Giovanni Corriga 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Hi, the Squeak Foundation will be applying to participate in the 2008 edition of the Google Summer of Code. This year we'll be interested in involving the other Squeak-related communities, too. So I'm asking for both volunteer mentors and project ideas. If you're interested in being a mentor, and/or want to provide a project idea, please contact me at giovanni(a)corriga.net . Ciao, Giovanni

[ANN] New Issue Tracker
by Lukas Renggli 02 Mar '08

02 Mar '08

Dear Seaside users and developers, we setup a new issue tracker for Seaside and some of its closely related projects such as Scriptaculous, Comet, RSS2, ... http://code.google.com/p/seaside/ We decided to move away from the Squeak Mantis system, because it caused more troubles than it helped. Mantis is lacking important features such as milestones, platform categories, sub-categories, and direct linking of the report form. Also it was difficult to add new people that can administrate the issues, as we do not have control over the server. The issue tracker is currently configured to send change notifications to the seaside-dev mailing-list (the developer list). This ensures that all developers get notified about bugs, not just a few of us. We (manually) moved all the open issues from Mantis to the new issue tracker. If you had pending issues on Mantis, please check that they are correctly transfered. If you have new issues don't submit them to Mantis anymore, but use the new system. If you don't have a Google account (and don't want one) it is fine to submit the bug to one of the Seaside mailing-lists, so that we can add it ourselves. If you would like to be added as a project member (in order to close bugs), please send a mail to seaside-dev. We currently don't use the wiki and the download tabs. However, we will use the source repository to manage Seaside related resources, such as the logos. The code repository remains on www.squeaksource.com of course. We hope that this move will make reporting and managing issues easier for everybody. Let the bug reports flow. Cheers, Seaside Developer Team -- Lukas Renggli http://www.lukas-renggli.ch
