Color problem for PluggableButtonMorph
by Robert Hawley 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

Thanks. If I code the color: call after the openInWorld the button stills shows the default color once clicked - I'll have to look into that more. Using a wrapper for the PluggableButtonMorph works, but then the framing has to be handled differently - I'll have to tidy that. I'm actually looking for some clean initialization code based on a nice 'template' approach that I can use straight forwardly for teaching how to write applications. A style of programming where you have to undo things that have been done elsewhere is not something I believe in as a matter of principle! This overriding and the subsequent fixes/hacks are not conducive to easy teaching - or easy program development come to that. I think the best solution is probably for me not to use SystemWindow but instead have a different class (maybe a new subclass of SystemWindow called (maybe) ApplicationWindow) which does not have the 'overruling' that comes from the setWindowColor: method. An alternative might be that there could be another Preference for SystemWindow so that the overriding can be switched off or the updating be optionally requested from the model when needed. Comments welcome.

3.8 grumblings
by Ralph Boland 18 Dec '05

18 Dec '05

I am currently porting some Squeak code from Squeak 3.6 to Squeak 3.8 (on a linux system). I have the following problem: When I load a .st file all the "_" characters (displayed as "<-") are converted to the string ":=". HOW DO I TURN THIS "FEATURE" OFF!!! Is the "_" character for assigment being deprecated? Am I expected to use ":=" for assignment form now on? Some additional grumplings: 2) Since I am running linux I must go to the FileStream class and modify method "concreteStream" to return: "CrLfFileStream" so that my code has the proper carriage returns in them when I file them in. It seems to me that I shouldn't have to do this and that Squeak should handle this situation automatically, possibly by storing a special flag in each .st file indicating the rule applied, regarding carriage returns, when the file was generated. If the flag is missing Squeak behavior would revert back to the current situation. 3) There is no inisqueak command even though the documentation (man squeak) says there is. This is confusing. This was the situation with Squeak 3.6 as well. 4) Even though I have installed Squeak 3.8, the command squeak -version returns Squeak 3.7.7. I assume this is because the virtual machine is 3.7.7 or something like that. Inside Squeak help- "about this system" returns Squeak 3.8 though. 4) I do find the installation process confusing in general. A ReadMe file to be read from a linux shell would be helpful. 5) Squeak 3.6 had a "usefull commands" window which I found quite useful as a Squeak beginner. There doesn't seem to be such a window in 3.8. Hopefully someone will post a solution to my problem. Comments on my grumplings most welcome. Thanks Ralph Boland

Color problem for PluggableButtonMorph
by Robert Hawley 18 Dec '05

18 Dec '05

In an application using SystemWindow I am trying to set the colour of a PluggableButtonMorph. When I run the application, the button initially displays without a color (i.e., white). It is only when I click on it that it shows the default color (light green). It never shows the colour that I am trying to set using ....color: Color brown;.... in my 'open' method. It seems to me that if I specify a color when I create the PluggableButtonMorph then the other code in SystemWindow ought not to override that perference. Is this fixable? [Notes: The case I am describing is not using onColor:offColor: option. The behaviour still applies if I switch off alternativeWindowLook. I'm using 3.8.]

NamedProcess, DynamicBindings, KomHttpServer into squeaksource and MC dependency
by Samir Saidani 17 Dec '05

17 Dec '05

Hi all, I've just put NamedProcess, DynamicBindings, KomHttpServer into squeaksource, so if you want to admin these packages, send me an email and I'll add you. I've added Stephen Pair and Göran Kampes since they were admin of this packages according to squeakmap. I've also some questions about MC and how it deals with dependencies : KomHttpServer (http://www.squeaksource.com/KomHttpServer) | |_______ DynamicBindings http://www.squeaksource.com/DynamicBindings | |_______ NamedProcess http://www.squeaksource.com/NamedProcess When I add this kind of dependencies, the expected behavior is when one loads KomHttpServer, MC will look for DynamicBindings/NamedProcess squeaksource repository and load it from their repositories. But it seems that MC saves DynamicBindings and NamedProcess into the same repository than KomHttpServer, which is redundant. Do I miss something or is it a feature to add ? Moreover for one package, its loading depends on the image version, so it would be probably interesting to add conditional dependencies. Regards, Samir

SMTPClient ConnectionTimedOut: Cannot connect to 10.10.10.10:25
by Bernhard Pieber 17 Dec '05

17 Dec '05

Hi Squeakers, For some reason I lost the ability to send mails using Celeste. I tried the following in a 3.9a-6704 image: | smtpClient | smtpClient := SMTPClient new. smtpClient user: 'smtpuser; password: 'smtppassword'; openOnHost: (NetNameResolver addressForName: 'smtp.domain.com' timeout: 20) port: 25. [smtpClient mailFrom: 'email(a)domain.com' to: #('email(a)domain.com') text: 'From: test To: "not listed" Subject: this is a test Hello from Squeak! '. smtpClient quit] ensure: [smtpClient close] I get a ConnectionTimedOut-Exception: Cannot connect to 10.10.10.10:25. The strange thing is that the exception is raised instantaneously. However, I think the timeout should only occur after 45 seconds. What am I missing? I would be thankful for any help. Bernhard P.S. In my image the Monticello package Network is based on Network-CdG.21 but has a lot of changes in the working copy. Why is this the case?

Filing code from VW?
by Todd Blanchard 17 Dec '05

17 Dec '05

I've pulled something out of the cincom public store repository and it seems to be a fileout in an xml format. Somebody else must have written something that can read this and file it into squeak, right? What do I need?

PIER Questions
by j 17 Dec '05

17 Dec '05

I am replacing my SmallWiki2 server with Pier and have a few questions about running it. First of all I have a fresh 3.9a 6705 image with everything installed and working. During the install I was asked to define a name for the Pier Kernel. So I did. Now that I know that that is the title name for the site, I want to change it. I went into the seaside config area (/seaside/ config/) clicked configure for Pier and Clear on the Kernel line. That just changed it to None. So How do I actually change the Kernel name? The Session expiry is defaulted to 600 seconds. Is there any way to have it auto save a page being edited once the time runs out. I have lost more data due to expiring pages than due to hard drive failures. Any chance Pier will gain the feature to do polls? Is their a web site specific to Pier? Thanks! Jason Hogue
