Loading Latest Monticello.
More recent versions of Monticello provide better feedback as to which
packages are currently loaded.
Select the http://www.squeaksource.com/Monticello repository, click
"open", select the latest package (Monticello-avi.279) from the main
"Monticello" branch, and click "load".
Select the Monticello package on the left hand pane, and the
squeaksource/Monticello repository in the right hand pane. Click 'open'.
In the repository browser, click on the latest version
(Monticello-avi.279.mcz) and click 'Load'.
----
Loading Seaside
Select "world menu > open... SqueakMap"... and a dialog will ask if you
wish to upgrade SqueakMap. Which you do. Notice that SMBase, SMLoader
packages appeaer in the Monticello browser, since the upgrade is
performed by loading Monticello packages.
In SqueakMap, select the ever so convenient "Seaside Installer" which
should load in the whole of seaside with its dependencies in one go. To
do this select the left had pane menu button, "install". (Part way
through the install you will be prompted to enter an admin username
(seaside) and password (admin))
(if SqueakMap doesnt work it is being knobbled by a more recent
package-cache, remove it and try again)
Select the seaside repositoryClick the "open" and the repository browser
will open.
Select Seaside2.6b1 which is the current latest. In the right hand pane
are the releases. Releases may be made by anyone and they may be small
branches off from the main stream. Periodically an effort will be made
to ensure that all changes are merged. Click the history button in order
to browse the history of this package to get some idea of what is going
on. Look at the ancestors of a package to see if one version is being
sequentially built on the next, or whether any branching is occurring.
Seaside is fairly mature and changes infrequent, therefore it is likely
to be safe to grab the latest version.
Loaded Seaside2.6b1-mb.79
Loaded Scriptaculous-lr.137
To start Seaside doit:
WAKom startOn: 8080.
( Or use the "beach flags" SeasideMorph
available from: http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/5862 )
To test if everything is running, check the following url in your normal
web browser.
http://localhost:8080/seaside/config
you should be prompted for you username and password (as given earlier).
----
Loading Magma
Back to the Monticello Browser. Deselect the selected package by
clicking on it once. This should re-reveal all of the registered
repositories.
(It is worth saving this. In the right hand side pane menu button there
is a menu item: "Save Repositories", which writes a simple configuration
script to the working directory.)
Select the http://www.squeaksource.com/MagmaTester repository, and click
"open".

Fwd: [Seaside] Magritte for VisualWorks
by Lukas Renggli
---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Thomas Koschate <koschate(a)gmail.com>

Subject: [Seaside] Magritte for VisualWorks
To: seaside(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org
I've released a reasonably functional port of Magritte into the Cincom
public StORE. Load MagritteForVisualWorks - it will prompt you to
load any further required parcels. There's some chaff left from stuff
that isn't supported in VisualWorks, but nothing that will impede
functionality.

[ANN] Adapt Look & Feel of Pier using File Libraries
by Christoph Wysseier
Hi all!
Pier is using Seaside File Libraries (PRPierLibrary) to store CSS and
images for the look'n'feel. Using a small extension that I just
committed it is now very easy to change the look'n'feel by just changing
the file library to another one.
Name: Pier-Seaside-cw.107
Author: cw
Time: 26 December 2006, 12:56:04 pm
After loading this patch a variable will be available in the seaside
config that allows you to change the default File Library to any other
you need to provide before (any subclass of WAFileLibrary is available).
This way the look'n'feel may be changed on-the-fly and you may store
your own File Library with your CSS and image files in a repository of
your choice.
Good night!
Chris

The problem here is that this will turn the Magritte-Core package
dependent on the Seaside package, because it already defines
#displayString. Otherwise I don't see a problem to adopt this in the
Squeak Code.

If you have any idea to reduce these I am happy to accept patches.

There are two uses of SystemChangeNotifier, they should be probably
moved to the MACompatiblity class.
1. MAAutoSelectorAccessorTest: this one is only needed to prevent
from marking the test-package dirty as this tests adds/removes i-vars/
accessors.
2. MADescriptionBuilder: this one makes sure that the description
cache is flushed whenever a description method is changed/added/removed.
The first one isn't critical, as this is only a tweak to make the
test run clean. The second one is more critical, without it you need
to flush the description cache manually by executing
MADescriptionBuilder default flush
There were some concerns in the beginning that rebuilding those
descriptions over and over again is very costly, therefor I added the
caching. I don't know if this is still relevant. Probably it hurts
more than it helps, but we have to check.

I think this change was introduced by the latest change of Philippe,
maybe he can have a look?
Cheers,

Magritte/Seaside Bug
by Thomas Koschate
Lukas, I've uncovered a small bug in MAReportComponent. While the
#renderContentOn: method calls #labelId, that method is not
implemented in the class hierarchy. I'm not sure if the
implementation from MAElementComponent should be moved up, or if
something else was intended for the report hierarchy. For reference,
this is in package Magritte-Seaside-pmm.206.

HTML Attributes with custom renderers
by Norbert Hartl
Hi,
I'm playing with custom views in Magritte. I have a model
and overwrote descriptionContainer with my own instance of
MAComponentRenderer.
What I'm trying to achieve is to display a text input the
following:
<label for="anyid">labeltext</label>
<input type="text" id="anyid"..../>
As a quick test I changed the renderLabel: to
renderLabel: aDescription
aDescription hasLabel
ifTrue: [ html
label attributeAt: 'for' put: aDescription hash;
with: [ html render: aDescription label ] ]
I need an id attribute in the <input> tag which has the
same content as the for attribute in the <label> tag.
I don't have a glue how to insert an id attribute to the
renderControl:. Is there a way to add an attribute if I only
have a component. I doubt the component description is the
right place to put.
If I only want to change the behaviour of the text input field,
is it best to overwrite the visitStringDescription?
thanks in advance,
Norbert
