First of all you need PackageInfo-Exporters from SqueakMap. Then you
need the package "Magritte-VisualWorks" from
<http://mc.lukas-renggli.ch/magritte>. Evaluating "MADistribution
fileOutForVisualWorks" should produce you a couple of files that can
be loaded into VisualWorks, however I never actually tried to do it
;-)

Finding my way in Pier's code
by Damien Pollet
Hi,
I'm trying to tweak Pier to use <div> elements instead of tables; Ieasily located the code generating the header in PRHeaderWidget, but Ican't find where the <table class="body"> is generated... is this aPRXHtmlWidget ?

RE: http://www.logowiki.net
by Baveco, Hans
On IE 6.0 the "Run" button is hidden near the left-bottom corner of the light-blue field, but you see a hand appear (and the balloon-help) when you hoover over it with the cursor. (the invisible Save and Reset buttons are under the left-bottom corner of the logo-code view). Though hidden, the buttons work OK

In fact I use the tutorial package peek up from
http://mc.lukas-renggli.ch/tutorial/.
I have just saw the mistake with 'Mrs' what is strange is that I have
a new option 'Mrs' with out the dot in my list.
Correcting this, nothing change for Nationality but he work for Title.
(I use Magritte 1.0.7 and Seaside 2.6)

Re: [Seaside] Pier backup + Calendar question
by Philippe Marschall
Hi
You are absolutely right about StellDichEin it has no good way of
dealing with multiple events.
For searching I think the Pier search engine should work because the
way I understood it is that it works on any kind of (Magritte
described) structure, not only pages.
Note that you can link to events the same way you can link to pages.
A sorted list of events should be quite simple with the help of an
MAReport. Either by creating a new kind of structure or adding a new
ViewCommand.
The calendar view is actually the biggest problem (and the nicest to
have). I see several ways to do this.
One is to port the rendering code of SW2Calendar
(http://www.squeaksource.com/SW2Calendar/) done by David Röthlisberger
and Vera Fischer. This code actually worked some time ago (about a
year) when Pier was called SmallWiki 2.
A second would be to nag Avi into making his calendar rendering code public ;)
An other option would be to write a magrittefied interface to the
Google Calendar (http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/calendar.html) and
embed it into Pier.
This should not be so hard, because the protocol is REST + POX (Well
there is of course the problem with HTTP clients in Squeak) (makes you
wonder why they didn't use iCal for that, but oh well). But then
events would no longer be structures and Google would be responsible
for the storage. You would probably still want to use the iCal package
for the creation and editing of objects and the Magritte UI before you
convert them to XML.
There is actually some kind of Documentation about Magritte and Pier
http://smallwiki.unibe.ch/smallwiki/pier
http://lukas-renggli.ch/smalltalk/magritte
http://lukas-renggli.ch/smalltalk/pier
The last thing I heard is that Lukas should/must/... be finished with
his master thesis pretty damn soon. ;) This - although it probably
will be a bit lengthy - should also help.
About StellDichEin:
The SDE* classes are basically wrappers about the iCal classes (mostly
ICEvent and ICTodo modeled very close to the iCal spec
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2445.txt). Form within Squeak you can talk
to them using normal messages. The user interface is built with
Magritte (descriptions are provided with the ICalMagritte package).
Export to iCal is done by creating an ICCalendar add what you need and
pass it to an ICCalendarExporter.
More specific questions would help me to give more specific answers ;)
Cheers
Philippe

Pier design with css
by Brian Chapados
I've also been working on some design issues related to Pier, including
removing the use of tables. I ultimately decided to start with a minimal
existing css framework (scribbish), and modify both Pier and scribbish
into something useful. I wrote up a tutorial about the process:
http://chapados.org/articles/pier-design-tutorial
Links to download the image/changes file and the css files are at the end.
I learned quite a bit in doing this, but I still have a quite a ways to
go. I hope it makes sense. Enjoy!

Pier & OB complications
by Viktor Svub
I've loaded OmniBrowser and Pier 1.0.4a via SqueakMap and the web part
is working, but i get several errors if trying to use the 'PierBrowser':
1. the browser can view the kernel, but the menus for the upper
(selection) panes are broken -> either the right-button click, or click
on the scrollbar-icon throws "MessageNotUnderstood: MenuIcons
class>>inspectIcon".
2. I'm not able to accept the edited page content (in the "OBPluggable
Text" pane - i'm not sure if it's a bug or a not-yet-implemented feature).
There are also issues with the Seaside part using UTF-8 encoding
(WAKomEncoded), but they seem to be at least partially based in the
Seaside itself and i can't test them any further without the possibility
to edit the page content from within the image.
