How to turn off Seaside toolbar in a new window?
by Sophie (itsme213) 18 Jul '10

18 Jul '10

html popupAnchor callback: [self renderNewWindow]; toolbar: false; with: 'No Toolbar'. But that turns out to control the Browser toolbar, not the Seaside one. Thanks - Sophie

[ANN] Phantasia: A CSS Framework
by Hernán Morales 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Dear anyone interested in working with Smalltalk objects: Now you can write in Smalltalk to style pages with CSS. Instead of styling with ugly, boring and long Strings (where you must perform a continuous visual sweeping of the code to make the most trivial modification), you can create high-level super sexy CSS constructs, track and review your styles with the standard Smalltalk tools (XReferences), and share constructs and configurations easily. The framework includes a set of 40 fixed layout templates ready for use, and let you compose the basic CSS elements as objects. A note: If your department, office, ark, whatever, have graphical designers, they rarely would love to learn this new strange prolific ninja environment called Smalltalk just for writing CSS - besides, a lot of them are already in love with anything after the word "Adobe" -, but, for smalltalkers, by far we believe that's easier to work inside Smalltalk with objects than in a file-based way. Sincerely, Hernán PD: The I-almost-forget-it part of this mail: Juan Burella and me wrote Phantasia. Download it from http://www.squeaksource.com/Phantasia.html

[Ann] Beach-Seaside
by Keith Hodges 30 May '09

30 May '09

Ok so someone has already got "beach" on google code, so I grabbed "beaches". http://code.google.com/p/beaches/ So Beach or Beaches? What do you prefer? In the following introduction(s) I will use "Beach". cheers Keith ================================================== "Beach" - Frameworks, and components for putting seaside to commercial use. "Beach" will eventually be showcased by an all new "Sushi Store"... (or Surf Store) http://code.google.com/p/beaches/ ===== Beach-Seaside ===== Central to "Beach" is the idea of a Site, the "Beach-Site" if you like, this is the main class for a Beach website. Let's give it a name: BESiteSeaside subclass: #BEBondi ===== Key Feature - Easy Installation ===== BEBondi knows how to configure itself as a seaside application (or a pier application), it knows how to initialize its databases if required. [the manual way: add BESiteConfiguration to a seaside application] ===== Key Feature - Upload and Go ===== BEBondi, knows when it is deployed, by checking its IP address. BEBondi, manages the preferences for the application, in code. (no need for seaside/config). Combining the two e.g. BEBondi-#prefSmtpHost ^ self isDeployed ifTrue: [ 'smtp.blahmail.com' ] ifFalse: [ 'server.flat' ] Upload your image to your server, and all the preferences can be set for the deployed state in advance. *seaside/config displays which settings are controlled by the "site" instance BEBondi. ==== Anywhere in seaside, your per-session instance of BEBondi is available via: self site ===== Anywhere outside of a seaside session (i.e. in a workspace) a per-session instance of BEBondi (with a seaside psuedo session) is available via: BEBondi current. ===== Key Feature - Switchable Backends ===== While your site is running in #live mode. You can hit the site with db=mock in the url and have a private test session, running from an in memory mock backend. Standard backend modes are: 1) #live 2) #test 3) #backup 4) #mock These can also be selected in seaside/config. live/test/backup are expected to be the same db engine (or engines) but with databases simply named with suffixes "-test" "-backup" e.g. sushi_store, sushi_store-test, and sushi_store-backup ===== Key Features - Plug In Backend/Frontend Components ===== See next emails ===== Key Features - Expose as much as possible to customization by subclassing ===== The "site" is effectively a "factory" hub for everything. So you can subclass it, and customise it to use whatever custom subclasses of plugins/models/backends/components your prefer. ===== Other Features - startUp hook ===== Sites that are configured (i.e. serving), are sent #onStartUp. ===== Other Features - Standard Caches ===== Places to cache data are provided as standard, per-session and per-application caches. e.g. self site sessionCacheAt: key ifAbsentPut: aBlock ===== Other Features - Per-Session properties ===== self session properties at: key ifAbsent: [ ] ===== Other Features - Helpers ===== 1. keepAliveHelper - while the user has the browser open, his session stays alive. 2. ShoreComponentsHelper - use shore components without needing a specialized WASession class. 3. ToolbarHelper - enable/disable toolbar on the fly 4. CometHelper - use comet without needing a specialized WASession class. (also available - MagmaHelper for using Magma without needing a specialised WASession class)

Jabber and Seaside?
by John Chludzinski 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

I know some have discussed using Jabber with a Seaside app ( http://www.nabble.com/Jabber-client-in-Smalltalk-td17816652.html). And I know Julian Fitzell & Michael Rueger have worked to put together a Jabber client & server (circa 2005). 1) Has there been any progress with this? 2) Has anyone downloaded: http://www.squeaksource.com/@0QZ6-IAhlonOxL9E/T6O1amoq and produced a simple, working client-server example? ---John

Memory problem?
by AxiNat 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

Hi all, I'm having some (I guess) memory problems in Seaside, after a while using a running website, changing some pieces of code, refreshing, modifying CSS, etc. my squeak image starts running really slow, and the whole system gets terribly sluggish, so it is that I have to restart X11. I know this is way too little information for a diagnose, but since I don't know which information should I give, I attach the memory usage at the exact time of the image beginning to get sluggish and the squeak log, which I was unable to understand. If you need it, I could also attach the website's .st file. Oh BTW, I'm using Seaside 2.8 running on a Squeak 3.9-8 vm with Debian Lenny. Thanks a lot in advance!

Got it! Serving external files
by Carl Gundel 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

Thanks for everyone's input. I did finally figure out how to modify WADispatcher, WAFileHandler and WAExternalFileLibrary to do exactly what I need. My modification permits a folder anywhere on the disk to be the root for publicly served files, and it supports arbitrarily nested subfolders. It really wasn't hard to write once I understood where to look, and your assistance helped me to figure that out. Once I wrote this modification I was able to use my application code as written for Seaside 2.6 and Web Toolkit on top of Seaside 2.8 and Opentalk without modification. For example the following URL resolves to a file in the public folder http://localhost:7777/myGraphic.png And the following resolves to a file in a subfolder named 'other': http://localhost:7777/other/yourGraphic.png Of course if the folder/file isn't found it produces a 404 as it should. The code is a little hack-ish as it is now, but I'll clean it up when I get a chance and make it available for others. So thanks again. :-) -Carl Gundel http://www.runbasic.com
