Re: Problems with callbacks in SmallWiki with Squeak 3.7
by Lukas Renggli
Hi Brent,
the maintainer of the Squeak port of SmallWiki 1 is Chris Burkert,
please ask him for problems related to the Squeak port.

Looks like I know this particular problem in Squeak ;-)
Try sending #fixTemps to the block you mentioned above. If this solves
your problem you might want to add #fixTemp to the references of aBlock
in the following two methods:
HtmlWriteStream>>registerAnchorCallback:to:
HtmlWriteStream>>registerFormCallback:
Cheers,
Lukas

File Server and storage
by alistair＠alphalink.com.au
Hi All,
My understanding is that work on WikiWorks has stopped and that SmallWiki is
the future. I've tried running SmallWiki with some success, however there
are a few things where I hope my impression is wrong:
- Is it possible to configure the simple file server (as described at
http://wiki.openskills.net/OpenSkills/Smalltalk+HTTP+Server) to be able to
do directory listings if there isn't an index.html in the requested
directory (like the WikiWorks FileServerWiki and Apache)?
- Is it possible to store page definitions (with history) outside the image
(to prevent image bloat and allow page history to be on disk rather than in
memory)?
Many Thanks,
Alistair.

SmallWiki 0.9.53 porting feedback
by Chris Burkert
Hi,
I finally found the time to port the last SmallWiki (0.9.53) to squeak
(3.6). It is available on SqueakMap. It would be fine to get feedback
about bugs! I know that there are some, but I can't search all day long :-)
To do this port I have gone a complete different way according to the
following procedure:
VisualWorks
- load SW into a clean VisualWorks Image so that it would run
- load Fileout30 and enable it in the Settings Manager
- load SW-Patch.ws (attached) which creates a fileout with some patches
Squeak 3.6
- load the fileout
- load the Patch Unnamed2.29.cs (attached)
- compile a new SWWikiParser and SWWikiScanner
- run the tests
Because of this new procedure, it may not be compatible with older
versions for squeak where I once did a port using rosetta and then
merging all changes by hand.
While doing the whole thing I stumbled over many things that you should
keep in mind when doing SmallWiki 2 (Remember that I don't want to
offend you! This should be constructive criticism!):
- Do not do something like in AbstractExternalLinkChecker ... this
is really really bad! Move #isLinkBroken: as 'self
subclassResponsibility' to SmallWiki.Server class and implement a
specific Version in SwazooServer class.
- Do not rely on class names! Remember in squeak we have no
namespaces, so we have to rename all classes to 'SW', class name.
See also SW-Patch.ws for my rename automatism.
- Use meaningful categories for classes. In squeak we have no Store,
no Bundles and no Parcels. We have just categories which should
name like 'SmallWiki-<aSubCategory>-<aSubSubCategory>'.
See also SW-Patch.ws for a rename automatism.
- Do not use underscores in methodnames! Do not ever think about it!
In squeak _ is :=.
See also SW-Patch.ws for those methods.
- Do not use Namespace.Class in classes in the same Namespace.
Regards
Chris Burkert

Complete SmallWiki image available?
by Darius
I've tried several times to load SmallWiki into Squeak 3.6 without success,
including loading it manually.
The first problem was that the SmaCC Scanner didn't initialize the writeStream.
Does someone have a minimal working image I can downlaod? Or, must I wait for
SmallWiki 2?
Thank you for such an inspiring application!
Cheers,
Darius

Short names for Pages
by Kris Gybels
I was wondering about the following: wouldn't it be nicer to base the
url for a page on a 'short name' instead of the page's title?
I don't like this URL for example:
http://prog2.vub.ac.be:9090/declarativemetaprogramming/
When telling people to go take a look at the DMP site I'd prefer to use
the URL like http://prog2.vub.ac.be:9090/DMP/, but I don't want to
change the page's title to this abbreviation either. So it would be
nice if the editor for pages allows you to not only set a 'title' for a
page but a 'short name' for it as well (by default: none). The page's
url should be derived from this short name.
I could probably hack this into Smallwiki myself easily, but it seems
like a generally useful feature and I'm wondering about a small issue
as well: should the *-syntax for making a link allow you to use short
names for pages too? What happens when the short name of one page and
the title of another are the same?

Re: TextAreaField
by Lukas Renggli
Hi Gabriel,
please ask such question to the mailing-list and they will be answered
much faster!

> Can you help me??
Well, what do you want to do with a TextAreaField?
To see the use of such an input field have a look at all the senders of
#textAreaWithValue:callback:, especially the use in
PageEdit>>renderDocument and in the callback example (from the
SmallWiki Examples package).
Hope this helps,
Lukas
