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)

[OT] Will there be a book for Seaside on best practice/design? (WAS: Re: Re: [Seaside] Re: How to do a "login required" type of filter)
by "S.J.Chun" 29 May '09

29 May '09

Hi, Now seaside reaches its 2.9 soon, will there be a book on best practice or design of seaside application? I hope there should be at least one; this book can show what would be the best design of common web application... :) Just curious. ----- Original Message ----- From: Julian Fitzell <jfitzell(a)gmail.com> To: Seaside - general discussion <seaside(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org> Sent: 09-05-28 14:51:52 Subject: Re: [Seaside] Re: How to do a "login required" type of filter What does your LoginForm do? Does it have persistent state? If not, why not have the LoginDecoration do the rendering itself? Or if you just want it factored out but don't need state or call/answer just implement a class that has a #renderOn: method and pass that to "html render:" (any object can render itself and only Components need to be listed in #children). This stuff is all a bit clearer, I think, in 2.9 (not that I'm suggesting you should start using it - just saying you're right to find it problematic). Otherwise... hm Seaside 2.8 doesn't have #children on WADecoration does it? That's fixed in 2.9 too. :) I guess if you really needed component features on LoginForm you would implement #nextPresentersDo: on your Decoration to make sure it evaluates the block for the child component. And to answer your earlier question, calling or answering while rendering just doesn't make sense. I can't remember what the failure mode is in 2.8 (in 2.9 it will definitely fail completely) but the continuations don't work right if you try to do that. Rendering shouldn't really change state - it should just render the current state so that it can be done over and over again. (this doesn't feel like my most articulate post ever but I'm on my way to bed - I'm sure the European contingent can clarify anything that doesn't make sense :) ) Julian On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 7:21 PM, Pat Maddox <pat.maddox(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I changed the LoginForm component to set the account in the session > instead of using answer. ?Now my LoginDecoration renders the LoginForm > when there's no user in the session. > > Now I'm running into a problem with children. ?The LoginForm isn't in > my main component's children list...which, there's really no way it > could be - the main component doesn't know anything about the > LoginForm, it only gets created as a result of my Decoration. ?I > verified that this is the problem by moving all the code from my > LoginForm into my LoginDecoration, and it works fine. > > So again I think I'm doing something stupid here. ?I'm somewhat close > in that I can get the decoration to render my LoginForm component, but > now that component has to go into the decorated component's children > (apparently). ?That feels ugly so I would think there's a better way > to do this. > > Pat > _______________________________________________ > seaside mailing list > seaside(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org > http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside > _______________________________________________ seaside mailing list seaside(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside

SE friendly redirect
by Sebastian Sastre 29 May '09

29 May '09

Hi there, I have to make a page with an anchor that will do a redirect to another site. First thing that comes to mind is to do it in a callback but that will just show the _s and _k of the callback instead of exposing the other site's url. How can I render an anchor that exposes an url so search engines can "count" that reference? thanks sebastian

Acceptance testing
by David Farber 29 May '09

29 May '09

Anyone care to share their approach to acceptance testing for Seaside? I'm looking for something that operates on the full output of the HTTP response (as opposed to unit tests that operate on individual components). Thanks, David
