Well, everything you describe above is already implemented in the SmallWiki model. Unfortunately there is no web-interface to manage these settings (security properties, roles, users, etc.) yet. If you want to use these things already, you have to do it manually by sending appropriate messages to objects and walking trough the graph using inspectors. At the moment I am working on a web-interface to edit and configure the templates. I am quite sure that soon more such interfaces will be integrated. > But suddenly we may not have Wiki anymore (but maybe something useful > at all). We did not want just to copy other implementations, but to have a new generation of extensibility and power with our wiki. > At the moment I am a little bit to busy to have time to look into the > coding of the SmallWiki but maybe later I would have more time and, > hopefully, could try out some of my suggestions myself. That would be really great: any kind of extensions, bug-fixes, management-tools, etc. are always appreciated. Cheers Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://renggli.freezope.org

Fwd: [ANN] State Reprication Protocol (SRP) released on SqueakMap

by Markus Gälli

Maybe an alternative for storing wiki... I like the idea to store the (de)coding rules together with the data. The link is worth a read.

Re: [SmalllWiki] [Problems] I can't edit some pages!

by Lukas Renggli

Hi Björn, > I have not changed anything inside the object structure. > I have only changed the method of persistance and restarted the server > a few times (to see if it comes up smoothely again). I already found the source of troubles: In some rare cases the parent is not properly set, when restoring old versions in the history. Right now I am trying to write a test-case to catch that kind of trouble. I will let you know when I wrote a fix. Cheers Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://renggli.freezope.org

Hi Björn, > If you have time now you can try my test server by connecting to > http://bjorne-pc2.nada.kth.se:8080/ > > Login as admin with password smallwiki. > Go to Test Folder and click on Edit. Then you get this crash screen. > However the server will be down from pm 21 today, since the power will > be off for some work in the building. Ok, I am able to reproduce that error. It seems to come from the last entry in that folder, as its parent seems to be set wrong. Have you changed something manually inside the object structure? Usually this should be properly set when adding or changing the history, but I have to check again. Cheers Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://renggli.freezope.org

That is really strange, I am developing basically on my macintosh, but now I've also tried on a Windows 2000 machine. It works well on both machines. > I am running on a Windows 2000 platform (the error seems to be unix..) What browser are you using? Have you got cookies enabled in your browser?

Re: [SmalllWiki] [Problems] I want to become a tester of SmallWiki

by Lukas Renggli

Hi Björn > Then I get an error while trying to dump: > server storage snapshot. > gives the error Unhandled exception: Message not understood: > #useEnvironment:. You have to make sure that you are using the latest version of SIXX as older versions do not support namespaces. I do not suggest to use SIXX storage in a productive environment, using the image-storage is faster and more secure. > Another thing that confuses me is how to define SmallWiki users, how > to log in (I found two users in the servers users directory, i.e. > 'anonymous'->a SmallWiki.User('anonymous') 'admin'->a > SmallWiki.User('admin')), and what happens when I log in? If you are not logged in you get the anonymous user assigned, with a restricted set of permission. To login as administrator go the the login-page, make sure you have cookies enabled and enter 'admin' and 'smallwiki' as username and password. You should be able to change templates, to see and modify history and to delete pages, folders, etc. To change the password of the administrator evaluate: (server userAt: 'admin') password: 'myNewPassword' Soon there will be an user interface presented to change that kind of things. > I also got some minor errors while editing pages using WikiWork's link > format, i.e. [LINK] or [name to display > LINK]. I got an error like. The syntax of the links is the same as in SqueakWiki, but not WikiWorks. The square brackets are used to add smalltalk-code to your pages, but that is only possible when logged in as administrator. So you might add: !My Super Wiki Title Blabalbalbalbal *My other Page* blablabalbbal The current time is: [ Time now displayString ] ... .... > SmallWiki.ErrorUnauthorized(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: This is a bug in the latest release: once the login-page appeared in that case.
