Use's stylesheet 2

by Rémy Knop

Hi thanks for the fast reply If you want to be sure to keep a content and a stylesheet you can set the function isRemoveable of the templates to false (like for the template) and change the TemplateEdit Action to allow the remove of them if there is another Template for stylesheet or the contents. You only need a message which say the type of the template and if there is 2 of the same type, you can remove one of them. Rémy Knop

Re: [Seaside] SmallWiki questions

Hi Nevin, > 1. The "contents" of a SmallWiki is a combination of pages, folders, > and resources. correct. > 2. A "page" and a "resource" are components, and a "folder" is a > composite of those two components. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ yes, it is a composite-pattern, but there are not just those two components that might be put into a folder: - First of all it is possible to nest folders, to allow putting together related content. Furthermore folders are a kind of a namespace, so you might have pages with the same title in different folders. - There are other components available to be used with SmallWiki as extension. As an example some time ago I have written a component displaying a keyword-index of your wiki. A lot of other components (have been|are|will be) written during software design courses at the University of Bern and Brussels. Just to name a few examples: link collection, photo gallery, forum, address-book, calendar pages, rss viewer, ... > 3. A "resource" is some uploaded file resource, such as a sound, a > video clip, or a picture. Exactly, usually this is for things like you mention: jpg, gif, mp3, mpg, zip, pdf, doc, ... Actually it is also possible to upload a html-file to serve static pages/style-sheets ... > OK, what if I don't care to allow anybody to upload file resources? > That would leave a "page" as the only interesting component left. For further information about the design, see the diagrams in the documentation: Smallwiki - Collaborative Content Management http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/smallwiki/smallwiki.pdf > And why bother having a composite (a "folder") of only one component? Wikis have always been flat (WikiWorks has one level: Book -> Page, SWiki has two levels: Shelf -> Book -> Page) and in my opinion this has a lot of drawbacks. Therefor I decided to implement a real composite and this gives a lot of power to the users to organize their things. Of course it also adds some complexity, but I think today everybody is used to work with folders and files in their filesystem. After all, it is possible to use SmallWiki without creating any folder: just put everything into the root, but there will be a mess very soon ;) > In other words, if I don't care to allow people to upload files to my > SmallWiki, why would I be interested in anything other than pages (eg, > children of type SWPage)? See the examples above.

Users's Stylesheet

by Rémy Knop

Hello I have to create a extension of SmallWiki to manage the user's preferences. In this goal, I would like to put the user's stylesheet in place of the structure's stylesheet. I see that the template who render the stylesheet tag is the TemplateBodyContents. The matter is that this one is not removeable from the template list and then whe can't do the replacement. The only thing we can do is to put another style tag in the html but I'm not sure all the browsers will take this second stylesheet in account. I think it's it should be a good idea to split the TemplateBodyContents in 2 templates: one for the contents and another for the stylesheet (e.g.: TemplateHeadStylesheet) which is removeable. Rémy Knop PS: sorry for the faults, it's not my mother language

couple problems

by John Brant

If you load 0.9.23 from the public repository into a new image, the tests don't run. The various structure #initialize class methods have been removed, so the class instance variables aren't initialized. Instead of adding the methods back, could the code be changed so that these variables are lazily initialized? Also, the VisitorRendererWiki>>emitCrWithoutDuplicates assumes that #cr method on stream emits only a Character cr. However, the ANSI standard says that #cr emits "a sequence of character objects that constitute the implementation-defined end-of-line sequence" so you can't assume that Character cr will be put on the stream. Instead of getting the contents, I would suggest adding an instance variable that says whether the last thing put on the stream was a #cr from #emitCr. John Brant

[Q] General wiki function: What links to here.

by Hannes Hirzel

Hello Many wikis implement a function which allows the user to ask for a list of pages which link to a particular page. Many people consider this function to be crucial for working with a wiki (backlinks). Is this function already implemented as an action? Or is somebody actively working on this right now? Any information on this subject is appreciated. Regards Hannes

[Q] Internal links from a page within a folder to a page within another folder

by Hannes Hirzel

Hello I'd like to create internal links. Links within the same folder work fine. However let's consider the following situation Rootfolder Cam folder history folder language page introduction (1) folder socialanthropology folder glossary page verb (2) I'd like to do a link from page (1) to page (2): Just a simple link *verb* does not work because the page 'introduction' is in a folder 'language' and it seems that pages outside this folder are not considered link target candidats. How do I have to proceed? Is there a special syntax to navigate? Or is there a general mark to indicate 'take any page'? Regards Hannes

About double cliking on link

by ducasse

hi lukas I noticed that I have to click twice on edit to get the page edited with safari (after the first click I get a cannot open) then after the second click it works....strange have you noticed the same. David will work on some management tools, and with roles SW will start to be much cooler (we modelled already an advance admin-user) scenario and your role/model works well. Excellent! stef

Question

by ducasse

hi luaks - at paris noury asked me the following: some of his upload are iso cd files which are around 600 mb. I imagine that we cannot upload that in the image. :) I saw the roles management interface of david and this starts to be usable and good. David will work one extra day and publish a version to be incorporated in SW and he will sit with alex to upgrade our server. - would it be possible to have a one click load bundle? because this was frsutrating to me to not been able to load SW for doing the demo at paris. Luckily I had an old image somewhere. - Next week we will sit with alex and finish the SwikiSucker :) Stef

[Q]How do I disallow the user 'anonymous' to view the contents of a certain folder?

by Hannes Hirzel

Hi I would like to disallow the unser 'anonymous' to view the contents of a certain folder X while at the same time create a general user (with a password) which has the rights of the user 'anonymous' and is allowed to view and edit the folder X. What do I already know? server user inspect gives me a dictionary of the users (instances of SWUser) The testcase SWSecurityTests setup shows how to create a couple of permissions and to assign them to a role. Then a user is created and the role added. What I do not know is how to do the link between a user (and his role) and a certain folder. I would like to know as well how to access the permissions of a certain folder. server root permissions does not work. Thank you for the answer in advance Hannes
