adding category to Morph viewer
by Hilaire Fernandes 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

When I add the following method in my class side morph, it produces in the object viewer an empty drgeo category. Such code used to work before. Any idea? additionsToViewerCategoryDrgeo ^ # (drgeo ( (slot curveAbscissa 'The abscissa of this point on the curve' Number readWrite Player getCurveAbscissa Player setCurveAbscissa:) (slot Xw 'The x coordinate in the DrGeoII world coordinate system' Number readWrite Player getWorldX Player setWorldX:) (slot Yw 'The y coordinate in the DrGeoII world coordinate system' Number readWrite Player getWorldY Player setWorldY:) )) Hilaire -- http://blog.ofset.org/hilaire

installing drgeo code with external po files
by Hilaire Fernandes 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Months (years?) ago I took a few note regarding installing drgeo in etoys with language catalog http://community.ofset.org/index.php/OLPC#How_can_I_export_the_.pot_file_fo… Now I wonder if this information is still right. Can I just pickup the etoysToGo image? Where should I put DrGeo language? Thanks Hilaire -- http://blog.ofset.org/hilaire

Help to EXECUTE QuickGuideGenerator
by olpcpuno 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Dear friends: After training teachers in the Peruvian Andes, we realized it was urgent to have the Etoys Help translated into Spanish, then I asked for a help to Kathleen and Rita, they sent me this helpful link http://wiki.squeakland.org/display/sq/How+to+translate+the+Quick+Guides Now, Ive finished translating into Spanish all the Quick Guides, it took a little more time because I remade the images, buttons and objects to show words in Spanish. Ive followed all the instructions but I couldnt EXECUTE the QuickGuideGenerator new openInWorld. Ive opened the WORKSPACE using Alt+k, highlighted the sentence, but I couldnt find the DO IT command that I always used to do it in Squeak. I am using the ETOYS Squeakland-OLPC version. Thanks in advance for any help. Kind regards from Peru Sdenka Salas -------------------- m2f -------------------- (from forum) http://squeakland.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=12267#12267 -------------------- m2f --------------------

please help us prioritize work for the next Etoys release
by Timothy Falconer 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi everyone, With Etoys 4 done (we're getting lots of downloads), it's time to start planning the next release, due mid-June. The first step is to get a sense for what the community wants most. Our current development task list has 180 tickets. I'd like to move at least 100 of those into "someday" status, which means we have to choose the top 80. Please scan the list and pick your top 10 issues that you'd like to see. You can either vote within JIRA or respond to this email with your picks. Here's the list: http://tracker.squeakland.org/dev Once we get the picks, we'll assign priorities to the top 80 and move the rest into "someday" status. Thanks, Tim -- Timothy Falconer Squeakland Foundation http://squeakland.org 610-797-3100 -- "Intelligence is what you use when you don't know what to do." ... piaget

Suggestion to add in the download page
by Hilaire Fernandes 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

I guess we want to also make clear how to fetch the source code of Etoys, so community may be easily capable to produce relevant packaging for Linux distro. I think it is important to clearly indicated where are the source codes. Here is a small suggestion to add in the Download page: == <h2>Etoys source code</h2> <p>Etoys is composed of two elements: a virtual machine binary specific to each architecture and Smalltalk source code independent of the host architecture. The source code is naturally spanned in these two elements:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.squeakvm.org">The Squeak Virtual machine source code, written in C</a></li> <li>The <a href="http://etoys.laptop.org/svn/trunk/">Smalltalk source code</a> composed of two files: <ul> <li>the <b>EtoysV4.sources</b> primary source code</li> <li>the <b>etoys.changes</b>, history of modification to the primary source code file above</li> </ul> These source codes compile as a Smalltalk binary, <b>etoys.image</b>. Although these source codes files are huge, there is no other source code file. These files can be edited from any text editor, but they are best viewed and edited from Etoys itself when opening a code browser ([Ctrl]+[b]).</li> </ul> -- http://blog.ofset.org/hilaire

Hi, I have tested using the latest release and can only get the browser plugin to launch in Google Chrome. The others (IE8, Firefox and Safari) fail with PluginHTTPDownloadRequest(Object)>>error: I'm not sure how to debug this. I can connect from the image while in the browser to the showcase but launching always fails. Karl
