Re: [Seaside] Seaside as backend for desktop apps
by "S.J.Chun" 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

I've done this approach(which means the application is still being used). My application is kind of personal information manager + databse and built using seaside as backend, running as web server at local machine and application specific web browser. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Bauer <dave.bauer(a)gmail.com> To: Seaside - general discussion <seaside(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org> Sent: 08-08-22 06:49:01 Subject: [Seaside] Seaside as backend for desktop apps Hi, I have been lurking for awhile. I was just thinking, hey Squeak /Smalltalk is cool, but its not great for desktop apps because the UI is not consistent. So would it make sense to use Seaside with a web ui based runtime for the frontend? So you have a local webserver. Has anyone tried this yet? It should provide a more consistent and familar UI to the powerful Squeak or other Smalltalk backend. Thanks!

Pier Templates
by David Zmick 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

I am going to distribute different file libraries from my site( http://w337.uni.cc) that contain css for different Pier looks. It seems to me, as I was recently a Pier newbie, one of the things that could scare me away was how hard it was to change the look of Pier, and I think this will help. Could someone tell me how to set up a Monticello HTTP repository with apache so I can host some of theses? -- David Zmick /dz0004455\ http://dz0004455.googlepages.com http://dz0004455.blogspot.com

update a component via onMouseOver:
by Marco Leberfing 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

Hello all, i would like to update aComponent via onMouseOver: I?ve tried several things (triggerFormElement: and so on), but nothing works. Updating something in the same Component is no problem, but updating another Component doesn?t work. For example, i?ve tried: onMouseOver: (html updater id: 'previewId'; triggerFormElement: 'attributePreview') I?ve got a Component with a form called "attributePreview". The renderContentOn: will be called, but nothing happens, no update. Are there any examples available on this topic? Any ideas? Cheers Marco

The Weekly Squeak Summary No. 19: May 4 - Aug 16, 2008
by Michael Haupt 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

Dear Squeakers, welcome to this edition of The WeeklySqueakSummary, an irregular traffic-dependent report on what's going on in the world of Squeak based on the WeeklySqueak blog. It's been a rather long time since the last issue because I've been on parental leave for two months... anyway, here we go again with a slightly longer e-mail than usual. Highlights of the past weeks: First, some updates. Monticello 2 is out [36], and so is Swazoo 2.2 [32]. The former is essentially a complete re-write with an all-new core versioning mechanism. The latter especially features faster uploads. The popular "Squeak by Example" book has also been updated - updated to be available in another language: French [4]! Some interesting new projects have emerged: at Qwaq, Eliot Miranda is building an improved Squeak VM called Cog [14]; and what started as a coursework assignment at HPI to improve some of the functionality of JSqueak [20] has been turned into a SourceForge-hosted project called Potato [25]: a Squeak VM implemented in Java. Also an, albeit different, VM, MagLev supports Ruby on top of GemStone/S [12]. SandstoneDB [28] is a simple OODBMS based on ideas from ActiveRecord and Prevayler. Algernon [2] helps navigating the Squeak image. The native widgets side of the universe has interesting news. After a long time, wxSqueak has been updated [27] - let's hope it's come fully back to life! SeasideXUL [5] uses the Firefox XULRunner to support building GUIs, and one of this year's Squeak-related GSoC projects [26] is SqueakGTK. Squeak has been ported to two more platforms: the iPhone [16], and WiFiBots [7]. Last but certainly not least, congratulations to the CMSBox team for winning an UI usability award [35]!

seaside behind apache
by David Zmick 16 Aug '08

16 Aug '08

I know there are alot of resources that explain this, but, I can't get any of them to work :( I want to use apache to serve static files, and, i seaside to live behind it. i have already gotten apache to pass seaside dynamic pages with: ProxyPass /seaside/ http://localhost:8080/seaside/ in my httpd.conf. This is my goal, have pier running on seaside behind apache so that pier can use files statically hosted by apache, in particular, sytlesheets :) -- David Zmick /dz0004455\ http://dz0004455.googlepages.com http://dz0004455.blogspot.com

Seaside component usage pattern
by Nir Oren 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

Hi All, I'm trying to get my head around Seaside, and was wondering what the ``best practice'' for the following (rather common) scenario is: I'd like to have a webpage such that a little login box appears on the top right if the user isn't logged in (together with things like a ``register now'' option), and a welcome message/logout option there if the user is logged in. The rest of the page's contents should remain unchanged. So to me, there should be a login/status component as a child of the main page component. If the user selects ``register'', the main page should change to a registration page (and the login/status component should temporarily vanish). This means that selecting register on the child component should cause a different rendering of the main component (or, in fact, a different class to appear as the main component). What is the best way to handle this situation? Keep well, Nir
