JSScript objects have a canvas. Can I somehow use this canvas to put escaped html in my js?
by Steven Noble 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

What I'm attempting to do is something like html button text: 'add put option'; onClick: (html jQuery ajax script: [:s | s << (s jQuery id: 'options') append: (self someRenderFunction on: (s canvas)). "some dynamically generated js"]). Of course this doesn't work because 'append:' expects something that behaves like a string. But is there a way I can put some escaped html generated by a canvas in my dynamically generated js? Many thanks, Steven H. Noble

[Ann] ??????

The framework I used before Seaside, a long long time ago, was Zope. Zope suffered from being python and from horrible code and many other things, but it was quite functional. Seaside on the other hand has good clean code, and can do very little out of the box. I want to see a one-click image, that has pier for organising content, and style of my site, seaside, testing tools, logging framework, everything ready to go. I want to be able to chose the backend component (say Magma or MySql, TT), click a button, it creates, initializes the databases and starts serving! I have been trying to use seaside and pier together for a long time, and it has always been difficult to develop with traditional seaside components within pier as a framework. Finally, at last Pier can be used as a framework for structuring, presenting and developing Seaside applications. The enhancement required goes as follows. When there is a change in pier context, the frame component is told and remembers the previous context. This is handy because in my set up everything is configured by the frame component, including choice of PRViewRenderer. In my view renderer class, I implement visitComponent: so that it renders the component together with an answerHandler which handles the answer by returning to the previous context (as saved above). So now I can present a link "Forgot Password", which goes to a nice 'pier' page with content around a seaside component WAForgotPasswordComponent. The user enters their details, clicks on a link in an emails, edits their password, saves their password and pier RETURNs them to whatever they were looking at before. Together with the client framework, for organising front-end and backend-components we finally have a solution for developing web applications as you would in, say Zope. The question now is what to call it... My previous big project for the telecoms industry was called TelTalk.... How about "Webtalk" ? Keith p.s. I also thought about "Tourist" - taking in the seaside and the pier.

Simply because we wanted to get started as quickly as possible and we all have limited time. It is better in this case to use an existing solution that works, than to spend a lot of time setting up a preferable solution. That said we are trying to setup a squeak.org hostname for it much like new.squeak.org but wordpress.com currently seems to be having trouble with this feature.

Any gotchas if I move from VW/Seasid to Squeak/Seaside?e
by Rick Flower 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Hi all... I've currently got an webapp using VW, Glorp, Seaside and whatnot that was recently moved over to FreeBSD from Linux and I'm having problems with VW running under Linux compatability mode.. In the off chance that I can't find a solution, a backup plan might be in order -- specifically moving over to Squeak... Are there any gotchas I need to know if I go that route? Obviously I won't do this unless I've run out of options but thought I'd ask regardless... Thanks!

Dirty Components
by Michael Niessner 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Does seaside have any concept of dirty components? Like is the following scenario possible? MyRootComponent --- UserListComponent (displays a list of users) --- UserDetailsComponent (displays details of a user) --- EditUserComponent (some editable fields for the user) Have the UserListComponent and UserDetailsComponent observe EdituserComponent and mark themselves as dirty if a specific change occurs (for example: UserDetailsComponent would be dirty for any change, but UserListComponent would only mark itself as dirty if the name changed). Then submit the form via ajax, have the EditUserComponent save the changes, and then let seaside respond by rerendering just the dirty components. Thanks, Michael Niessner

AJAX for Google Maps
by Mariano Montone 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

Hello, I'll be working on a Google Maps component for Seaside and need to do some AJAX to interact. My questions are: what AJAX library should I be using? Should I use Seaside Async or the AJAX support that comes with the scriptaculous extension? Besides, is there any documentation that may help me go faster regarding the AJAX issue in Seaside? (apart from the code it self and the functional tests, of course.) I'm using Seaside 2.8 on VisualWorks 7.6. Thanks! Mariano

Hello all, I am planning to implement a simple XMLRPC server for my Seaside application. Is it sensible to implement a XMLRPC server with Seaside (e.g. WAResponse)? Robert
