Text fields that you can't resize in stacks
by guzdial＠cc.gatech.edu 18 Apr '03

18 Apr '03

I've now replicated the bug that I mentioned earlier, and I've found a fix, too. - Create a new stack (drag one out from the stack tools flap) - Add a background text field (again from stack tools) - Select the text in the background text field. Type alot -- enough that it would extend past the end of the card if it were in a line (see the picture attached). - Now, bring up the halos on the background text field so that you can resize it to make it look nice. KERBLAM! The size becomes larger than the card, you can't move the yellow halo, and you can't pick it up to drag it out of the card to fix (as in the attached picture). The fix is: - Add a new card to your stack. - On the new card, you can select the background text field AND CHANGE THE YELLOW HALO. Move it inside the card boundary. - Go back to the front card -- your text is resized to match that on the next page. Mark

You could - try uploading the single file from the Squeaklets folder - wait till Je77 gets back and adds super swiki to the standard swiki. Cheers, Bob

Hi all, For any teachers or parents who decide to use swiki's to run their squeak projects, it is great and so easy to use: http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/swiki is the starting point for Swikis stuff. The papers are at http://coweb.cc.gatech.edu/csl/Papers Thanks Mark! You can even power a Squeak project website link from a desktop at home. Since we moved our computer with Squeak projects, our link changed slightly. Here is the new link with some exploration active essays, tutorials, and soon to be posted student projects: http://129.237.99.138:8080/SqueakProjects With my best, Naala _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Resizing fields in Squeak?
by guzdial＠cc.gatech.edu 18 Apr '03

18 Apr '03

I can't seem to resize background fields in stacks in Squeak. I've dropped two background fields in. They WERE resizable (e.g., I could move around the yellow halo) when I first dropped them in and when I first entered some text in. I'm not sure what I've done, but now I can't resize them. I shift-select the background text field, the halos pop up, but I can't move the yellow halo. Suggestions? Thanks!

Seeking advice: Version for creating plugins?

I've been using 3.1 and 80% of the projects have been running fine with the plugin.

What version of Squeak are people using for creating projects that will run with the plugin? Is the plugin more like Squeak 3.0 or more like Squeak 3.1alpha? I asked for "Smalltalk version" in the plugin, and it replies "Squeakland-3.1.3905" which makes me think that it's 3.1 up to changeset 3905 -- is that about right? Is it safest to use 3.0 or 3.1?

Hi Kim, It's powered by a swiki that I put on one of the computers at KU. Sometimes someone will restart the computer and they have to restart the swiki. It's up now.

Introducing children and/or school to Squeak
by Andreas.Raab＠disney.com 18 Apr '03

Cathy, It seems like this is a problem with the Mac plugin. I think your problem comes from the Mac plugin cutting of some parts that should actually be visible. Usually that's only a problem if you are in 800x600 resolution; switching to a higher resolution (like 1024x768) will give the browser more real estate and should help. Alternatively, you can try to go to full screen and see if this helps. For going into full screen mode, mouse over the golden navigator area and press the "escape browser" button. To get back into the browser press the "return to browser" button (it's the same as the "escape browser" button but the wording changes). Hope this helps, - Andreas > -----Original Message----- > From: Cathleen Galas [mailto:cgalas@ucla.edu] > Sent: Monday, May 14, 2001 11:30 AM > To: squeakland(a)squeakland.org > Subject: Re: Introducing children and/or school to Squeak > > > >BJ, > > I found the drive a car tutorial(under tutorials).
