1. Take a Squeak 3.8 (3.7 or 3.9 should also work)
2. Install Magritte from SqueakMap. It will ask you if you would like
to install Seaside as well, do so.
3. Install OmniBrowser from SqueakMap.
3. Add the following repository to Monticello and load SmallWiki2-All
MCHttpRepository
location: 'http://mc.lukas-renggli.ch/smallwiki2'
user: ''
password: ''
Soon I will add another package for SmallWiki to SqueakMap, this will
pull in all the required packages including Magritte and its
dependencies.
Cheers,
Lukas

Hi Damien,
your approach is certainly very interesting. Congratulations, you are
the first one to use Magritte together with a relational database!
I was thinking about similar things, especially using Magritte (maybe
together with ROE) to do relational object mapping. Having a generic
framework like this would be very cool.
Basically Magritte descriptions can be directly mapped to a
relational-database:
- MAConatiner --> Table (that automatically alter the tables as soon
as the containing descriptions change)
- MAElementDescription --> Column
- MAStringDescription -> VARCHAR
- MANumberDescription -> INT
- MADateDescription -> DATE
- ...
- MAeRelationship --> Foreign Key
- MAOneToOneRelationship -> 1:1 mapping
- MAOneToManyRelationship -> 1:n mapping
You are using the MAAssociationDescription to do the mapping from the
db-id to the object? I think a database-layer should be as
transparent as possible and not require the programmer to think about
ids and primary-keys, etc. But yeah, this is not an easy problem ;-)
I am interested to see a demo of your code!

Hi everybody,
I needed to make a private folder in SmallWiki, for
students but also for me and other participants at the
wiki. I developped an extension of SmallWiki that
allows to create personal and private
folders/pages/resources and manage (private) users.
It works good and very simply.
