by Keith Hodges

First (alpha!) release of Pier running with Magma Persistency. Image available from ftp.seasidehosting.st User: preloaded Password: squeak enjoy Keith ------ Image Use Instructions In pier configuration click on 'Magma Control Panel', which will inform you that the repository does not exist. If you have placed this image on seasidehosting then you will have to manually create the repository directory. Given the list of options as to what repository to create, click the 'create' button (and wait). The existing pier kernel should appear in the list with a 'persist' button next to it, click 'persist'. Then try it and see! ------ ------ Detailed Log of Image Creation Steps (alternative title: "monticello tutorial") This image was prepared as follows: Beginning with Squeak3.8-6555full Initial start asks for updates: select "do not ask again" - this is important should you wish to deploy. Headless servers (e.g. seasidehosting) cannot handle user interaction and will stop at this point. From "world menu > open.... > Monticello Browser" Browser opens with (Monticello....) Click the "+Repository Button", select "HTTP" as the repository type, and enter MCHttpRepository location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/Seaside' user: '' password: '' as the repository info (if you have a login on Squeaksource then you can enter your initials as the 'user' above.) Add the following repository for Monticello. MCHttpRepository location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/Monticello' user: '' password: '' Add the following repository for Magma. MCHttpRepository location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/MagmaTester' user: '' password: '' and the following two repositories for Magritte and Pier MCHttpRepository location: 'http://mc.lukas-renggli.ch/magritte' user: '' password: '' MCHttpRepository location: 'http://mc.lukas-renggli.ch/pier' user: '' password: '' also: MCHttpRepository location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/OmniBrowser' user: '' password: '' (to edit this information: click the menu button in the right hand pane of the Monticello Browser) ---- 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". Select MagmaServerLoader, and click "load".

Pier: Help please - cannot embed / call WATask

by Matthias Berth

Hi, when I call: or embed a WATask, the main area of the Pier page shows nothing. It also remains empty when I go to other pages. I have also tried to embed the sushi store example, like so: - In the Pier menu use Add... component ...name: store, then choose "Store" from combobox - embed store in another page using +store+ Same problem. Both my code and the embedding of store work without problems in my older Pier image: Seaside2.7a1-pc.227 Magritte-Model-lr.279 Magritte-Seaside-lr.238 Pier-Model-lr.162 Pier-Seaside-lr.194 Pier-Security-mberth.88 The problem occurs in a newer image (derived from the sq3.9-7067dev07.09.1.image): Seaside2.7a1-pc.227 Magritte-Model-lr.283 Magritte-Seaside-lr.238 Pier-Model-lr.168 Pier-Seaside-lr.207 Pier-Security-mberth.92 What can I do? Cheers Matthias

PRHider

by Lukas Renggli

Hi All, in the latest commit of Pier I removed the PRHider. This class was sort of obsolete and added a lot of complexity to different parts of the code. It is easier to use a security plugin to hide particular structures. Before loading the latest version make sure that you don't have any instances of PRHider in your model. PRHider allInstancesDo: [ :ea | ea remove ] I assume that nobody will have any of these instances in their model, unless you added them manually from an inspector. Cheers, Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://www.lukas-renggli.ch

Installing a current Pier version using Package Universe (was: Re: Pier: Help please - cannot embed / call WATask)

by Matthias Berth

Hi Lukas, I'm glad when I can help you, though I'm afraid it's just a little help ;-) From start to first problem it was just a few seconds: - start sq3.9-7067dev07.09.1.image using the current squeak 3.10 VM - open Package Universe - select Squeak web packages version 0.1 - press the "select package" button --> this gives a Warning: could not find necessary package: Pier I guess it's due to the splitting of Pier into several packages, so there is no global package "Pier" in the universe? The comment in the Universe browser says: snip------- Abstract package that only depends on other packages. This packages are used to build a squeak distribution for developers. Category: Web Development Depends on: Squeak dev packages Pier Scriptaculous Seaside Maintained by: Damien Cassou <damien.cassou(a)gmail.com> Downloads from: (no url) Homepage: http://damien.cassou.free.fr/ snip----------- So, what can we do? I'll go try the same thing on the clean 3.9 image immediately. Cheers Matthias PS: Yes, I updated the package list from the network this time ;-) On 9/27/07, Lukas Renggli <renggli(a)iam.unibe.ch> wrote: > I just updated the Package Universe Definitions for Seaside, Magritte > and Pier (and several of its plugins).

Re: About Pier on the Universe

Please ask Lukas Renggli about that. > > Thank you THANK YOU, Damien, for all the work you put into the squeak dev image and the other projects. The squeak dev image has really helped me in getting started and in getting a stable configuration to build on. Not to mention the nice things like eCompletion etc that made my life so much easier. Some of these packages were unknown to me before I saw the squeak dev image. Making things easy for beginners is not trivial, and you do a great job, Matthias

Updating Squeak web packages in the universe

by Matthias Berth

Hi Damien, we've just established that the basic components of the squeak web section in the squeak-dev package universe (how can I find out which universe I'm in at the moment?) should work. However there is a problem with packge 'Pier' not being found. I'd propose to create a package called Pier that includes (depends on): Pier-Seaside Pier-Security Pier-Blog That Pier package could then be referenced by the squeak web packages. Description for the Pier package: Pier is a powerful and extensible content management and Wiki system. URL: http://www.lukas-renggli.ch/smalltalk/pier Cheers Matthias

scriptaculousification of the list composition component

by Keith Hodges

I posted a version of the list composition component which uses scriptaculous to the http://mc.lukas.renggli.ch/pieraddons repository. The code works but I am not conviced it is entirely the correct/best way to do it. cheers Keith p.s. Also, I am unable to access the magritteaddons repository, but pieraddons is fine. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Using Pier for intranet

by Göran Krampe

Howdy list! We are considering moving our relatively small (250 pages) but steadily growing ComSwiki to Pier at MSC (formerly Toolkit Software). There are several reasons for picking Pier, but it is not yet totally decided. One obvious reason is that we have been looking at integrating Pier and Gjallar, so learning more about Pier is a good thing. We also like the fact that we can "hack it" etc since we know Squeak and so on. I have a few questions: - What persistency are people using? Saving the image now and then is not enough, we are considering using Magma (since we use it a lot in Gjallar) and are interested in any reports on that. - Compared to ComSwiki, what is *missing*? I know Pier has lots of *extras* but I am more concerned about stuff *not* there. The basics we really want are of course recent changes, access to older versions (diffing not required), search, references to this page, attachment handling (versions not needed). Might have missed something in that list of course. regards, Göran

Pier: mixing wiki markup and raw html

by Matthias Berth

Hello, I want to mix raw HTML into Pier wiki pages, mostly for laying out some parts inside <div>. For example I want to put a heading and some text inside a box, like so: <div class="bigbox"> !Hello </div> Pier uses line breaks to start new paragraphs, so this gets rendered as: <p><div class="bigbox"></p> <h1> <a name="266725720"></a>Hello </h1> <p></div></p> I cannot put the <div> at the beginning of the line because the Pier parser would not detect the !Hello as a heading then (! has to be at the start of line). I guess that there will be no perfect solution for mixing HTML and wiki markup, but I'm willing to give it a try. Here are potential solutions I could see: - do a HTML escape (put <html> and </html> at the start of two lines) - a bit better: do html escape and use Piers textmatcher to resolve *internal links* and +embeddings+ - change the paragraph line break convention to what's used e.g. in TeX: paragraphs are separated by two or more newlines (roughly speaking). I'd love to hear your opinions, and maybe tips about possible implementation. Cheers Matthias
