Hi,
I use smallWiki, I'd like knowing if I do the login and after I will close the page without do the logout, how much time the server still see me logged?
Do you know which instruction can I modify to change this time?
Cheers
Luca

Yeah, this is simply because the live-callback isn't evaluated within
the context chain where the dynamic variable is defined. As a
workaround you can just reference the context-holder from within the
live-block when defining the callback. That should be probably fixed
in Seaside or maybe SmallWiki 2, I don't recall where exactly this
variable is defined.
Cheers,
Lukas

Hi,
I visited the SW1 from http://box2.squeakfoundation.org:7777/, and
there is some features I think it should be interesting to include in
the Monticello, like the translation ( en | sv ). Is it possible to
get the image somewhere ? Or to add this feature to the MC repository
( http://www.squeaksource.com/smallwiki1 ).
We can also think how to internationalize such a site ? I don't know
if such a feature is planned for SW2...
Regards,
Samir
Hi Thomas,
I'm working to add your XML enhancement to the SW1
repository. Unfortunately I destroyed the SmallWikiEnh, I didn't see
that you had contributed to this repository and thought that this
repository was of no use. Maybe I was wrong, it could be convenient in
fact to have a mainstream and besides separated enhancements to help
testing. Anyway could you send me this enhancement ?
By the way did you experiment some unstability from the newest SW1
version ? Because I discover that when I launch for the first time
this version under the name squeakFr.image, there is unstability, but
when I launch for the second time (after crash) the SW1
smallwikiSnaphot.image, it works quite well : maybe related to the
name of the image, don't know !
Regards,
Samir

Hi,
as probably most of you already know, SmallWiki 2 is very powerfull and
much more than a wiki.
Here is a discussion between Lukas and me:
Lukas: the problem is basically that smallwiki is a very well known name
already
Lukas: the best name we found so far is "Seashell"
Lukas: or just "Shell"
Lukas: but you are right, it is not just a wiki anymore
Damien: Seashell => Seaside and SmallWiki is not Seaside dependent (it
should not in the future at least)
Damien: why Shell ?
Lukas: because a shell is like can contain cool stuff
Lukas: and it is like something that is around your stuff
Lukas: well... if you have better ideas, feel free to open a discussion
in the mailing-list ;-)
Damien: I will try to think about a name. Shell for me is "Bash" or
thing like this.
Lukas: another idea was "Harbour"
Lukas: but i don't like the sound of the word ;-)
Lukas: maybe we should just take something totally unrelated and
abstract, such as magritte
Damien: Harbour is a common name, you won't have the first results in google
Damien: we may construct an abstract name based on this ideas
We are open to ideas from everybody.
Here are some ideas:
Swinaw: SmallWiki is not a wiki
Sinawa: Smallwiki is not a wiki anymore
SmallHarbour
STGW: Small talk, great work

Hi,
I use smallwiki1, I'd like to find some information about the management session.
I read the document:
Management and Security of
Collaborative Web Environments
written from
Prof. Dr. St´ephane Ducasse
Prof. Dr. Oscar Nierstrasz
There I didn't find for example if I'm login where the server save the username and password, or if I close the window how long the server still see me logged?how long is the timeout?
Could someone tell me where can I find a document that talk about this or describe the management session, please.
I'll look forward to receive an answer...
thanks
Gianluca
How about an allusion to fractals & nesting.
"EndlessShores" (only one ref on Google) or
"EndlessCoasts" (only two refs on Google) or
"EndlessBeach" (lots of ref on Google :[ )
"Endless" sort of opposite to "Closures"

Very aware of that.

Anytime.

I was using the term production very loosely. I mean production for my
own little side projects and hobby projects, I just meant that to even
put SW2 up on my server at all, I'd need it to have security. I know
it's bleeding edge, not quite finished and occasionally buggy, I'm
perfectly fine with that because it's going in exactly the direction I
like and I enjoy watching it grow. It's helpful in understanding the
design decisions that are being made.

I'd like to suggest that you place a running sample image of this
running in Squeak3.8 on the
site(http://smallwiki.unibe.ch/advanceddesignlabs/admin/). I tried
loading this a few days ago and ran into problems and your setup
instructions were for 3.7, and make a few assumptions about some
knowledge all of us may not have acquired just yet, like recompiling
individual classes and why it's necessary.
Currently getting an error about the environment not being initialized
because the setup of the Smallwiki2 Kernel failed on content or contents
being nil, this is from memory so I can recall exactly. I ask for 3.8
because 3.9 is too new and I want to put something into production that
isn't shaky and I'd like to use Smallwiki2, I think stable enough for my
needs with the minor exception of missing a security system and a
search, but as a host container for my Seaside components I think it's
fantastic.

Yes, as it's the current stable release.
