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". (it takes a while!)

In other words:
renderAddOn: html
html form:[
anMAReferenceModel descriptionKey ....................as ???? changeAccesor ???
html submitButtton text:'add'].
where anMAReferenceModel is one specific classModel for example:
MANazionalityModel with specific descriptionKey -> MAStringDescription new ........ label: 'Nazionaliry name'; ..........
or MAPhoneModel with specific descriptionKey -> MANumberDescription new ............label: 'Phone number'; ..... beInteger............
or MA ..... Model with specific descriptionKey -> ........
With this reference i think to have the input set to relative descriptionKey.
I'm clear ?
It's possibol ?

Instance based description in Magritte
by Bany, Michel
This is a question for Lukas.
I need to display an object of class A that holds a collection of other
objects of class B.
The collection is described using a subclass of
MAToManyRelationDescription.
The description of the objects in class B needs to be instance based.
All the objects in one collection have the same description, however
class B is not able to provide a description.
How can I do this?
TIA
Michel.

Use Magritte to define object web interface into OODB
by Dario Trussardi
Hi,
i work with visualworks 7.5 / Squeak 3.9-7067\gemtools-7067dev07.10.1
and Gemstone OODB 2.2.4.
I'm interested do create web interface to some object into Gemstone ( GLASS Framework )
I think to do it with Magritte ( it's a right solution ? ).
For any object create the specific descriptionA.... , descriptionB..., ecc. ecc. class methods and use asComponent to open web interface.
I port Magritte tutorial into Glass and work fine.
But, for example, i'm interested to create Title options from other TitleInstances , ( not from Array of string, but from Array of TitleInstance )
and save in MAPersonModel title the link to one specific titleInstance
descriptionTitle
^ MASingleOptionDescription new
options: #( 'Mr.' 'Mrs.' 'Ms.' 'Miss.' );
autoAccessor: 'title';
label: 'Title';
priority: 10;
yourself
descriptionTitle
^ MASingleOptionDescription new
options: TitleDatabase asArrayOfInstances;
autoAccessor: 'title';
label: 'Title';
priority: 10;
yourself
Questio A)
What i need to define to do it ?
I 'can find example relative to Magritte in Gemstone?
Question B)
When change the description about one class what do i do to update the relative web interface?
In vw i use MADescriptioBuilder default flash .
Question C)
When i need to use [ ....] asDynamicObject?
If i use options: TitleDatabase asArrayOfInstances
it's enough to have options update to last version or ....?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
