[Seaside] [ANN] JQueryWidgetbox and Metacello

[Torsten Bergmann]

Hi,

the JQuery Widget box project now switched to Metacello:

 - there is now a "ConfigurationOfJQueryWidgetBox" project/class 
   in htp://squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository
 - this configuration includes a baseline and a first version 1.0
 - the old "loader" project (JQWidgetBox-Loader) - in
   http://squeaksource.com/JQueryWidgetBox can be used 
   as before - it now internally uses Metacello

How to get started:
===================
We assume a clean image - for instance the latest pharo core
(PharoCore-1.0-10506rc1.image) - without any Seaside here:

 A. THE OLD WAY
 --------------
    To get the old loader (which is now ALWAYS loading the latest version
    from the metacello configuration) evaluate:

	Gofer new
 	  squeaksource: 'JQueryWidgetBox';
  	  package: 'JQWidgetBox-Loader';
  	  load.
	

     Answer yes - and see how Seaside 3.0 and the widget project
     is loaded. When finished start a webserver through

        WAKom startOn: 9092

     and point browser to 

      http://localhost:9092/browse/jquery-widgets

     This is working as before - but not as flexible as with Metacello.


 B. THE NEW (METACELLO) WAY
 --------------------------
   First you need to load the Metacello configuration for the project

         Gofer new
 	  squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';
  	  package: 'ConfigurationOfJQueryWidgetBox';
  	  load.

   You can now decide to get:
   ==========================
   B.1. the latest version (including all tests, examples and widgets - similar to the old loader in A.)

	(Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfJQueryWidgetBox) loadLatestVersion

   B.2. a specific version (currently there is only one)

	((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfJQueryWidgetBox) project version: '1.0') load

   B.3. load a specific widget for your seaside project from Widget box version 1.0 (without tests and examples)

	((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfJQueryWidgetBox) project version: '1.0') load: 'JQWidgetBox-Growl-Core'   

   B.4. load a specific widget for your seaside project from Widget box version 1.0 (including tests and examples)

	((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfJQueryWidgetBox) project version: '1.0') load: 'JQWidgetBox-Growl-Dev'   

   B.5. load three widgets for your seaside project from Widget box version 1.0 (two with tests/examples and the first without tests/examples)

	((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfJQueryWidgetBox) project version: '1.0') load: #('JQWidgetBox-Growl-Core' 'JQWidgetBox-Calculator-Dev' 'JQWidgetBox-Calculator-Dev')

   B.6. load all the latest packages from the 1.0 baseline - with all widgets, respective tests and examples to do development

	((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfJQueryWidgetBox) project version: '1.0-baseline') load   

   
   If an example for a widget is loaded it will automatically appear at 
   http://localhost:9092/browse/jquery-widgets


   Things to note:
   ===============
   If one wraps and adds new jquery widgets to the widget box project he must
   now add it in the metacello configuration. The old loader project should
   stay unchanged and remains for compatibility reasons.

Have fun,
T.
