Hi list,
is there any documentation about user management in Pier?
I basically need three levels: read-only users / users who can also
post new blog entries and edit the wiki / admin users.

Pier Experts,
At my work, we've been running a smallwiki (the origininal version of
pier) for about 3 years, and have accumulated around 3k pages. While
looking into upgrading to pier, I noticed that the newest images on
** site resolve the missing slash problem (backslashes disappear in
preformatted text if they don't preceed a *), however there's a new
problem. Suppose I have images intermingled with text, such as:
text1
<IMG ALT="Picture1" src="http://apache/resources/images/
pic1.png" />
text2
<IMG ALT="Picture2" src="http://apache/resources/images/
pic2.png" />
text3
Assuming that the apache server is down, it would appear as:
text1
Picture1
text2
Picture2
text3
With the new version of pier, it is displaying as:
text1
Picture1 text2
Picture2 text3
Does anyone know a way to fix this? Is it in the CSS or in the ST code?
Thanks in advance,
John Borden
Hi list,
I'm back, trying to configure Pier. The first step I need
to achieve is having a blog running but with comments disabled. While
doing so, some questions appeared:
1. It seems that the "Add" button has different meanings depending on
the current selected page (environment? I still don't know exactly
what this is in the Pier case). So, you can use it for adding a page
in the main environment but only to add a post in the blog
environment. Is this correct? Is it supposed to work in this way?
2. If the first is correct, is there a simple way to change the link
caption, so that when the user is in the blog page the link states
"Add Post" instead of "Add". I don't think that the previous approach
is intuitive.
3. Is there a simple way to avoid leaving comments in blog posts?
4. Is there a way to configure the contents of the left sidebar.
thanks for your help.

I have written a tutorial on "theming", and changing the way Pier looks, and
I would like some people to read it and give me feedback. The majority of
the document is about setting up Apache to host static content for Pier to
use. Any sugestion are welcome, I hope I didn't mess to much up. the
tutorial is at http://w337.uni.cc/PierDocs/customizingLook.pdf

Hi list!
<intro>
I need a CMS for a job and I thought about trying Pier. So, my point
is that even though I work with Smalltalk every day, I'm willing to
use Pier mainly as an end user. Of course if in the future I need
complex controls I would program them, but for the time being I would
like to just act as an end user.
</into>
I've been reading some of the posts in the list (and checked
presentations slides), but I'm having still kind of dizzy about
where/how to start. So, I've bee thinking that maybe the best way to
go is to take little steps based on my requirements and document them
so that hopefully I can leave something useful for others. And of
course I need the lists help :)
Ok, so far I've downloaded the squeak one-click experience and it
works ok. Now the next things I need to do are:
1. Remove, at least for the not-logged user, all the menus, the search
box, etc.
and
2. Add a blog component.
So, basically my first step is to just set up a blog.
Once that is done, the next things I would need are:
1. Disabling comments, so that only the original posts are allowed.
2. Styling the page.
So, any help on how to do this would be really appreciated.

Greetings,
I am just starting to poke around Pier and I am trying to figure out how
to hide the "Views" menu from a non-admin user.
I can change the permissions for "Other" so that there are no menu
choices under the "Views" menu but the box with the word "Views" still
appears. I would like this to not be shown. How can this be done?
Just to clarify, what I mean by the "Views" menu is the menu on the left
hand side. There are three menus on the lhs: Views, Commands and
Navigation. I want the Views menu to not appear at all.
Thanks,
Frank
