Just to be sure, this is in VW. Recreation of a wiki is done by a
configuration utility which I call Configurator, sounded like a decent
name :) The content of the wiki i.e its folders, pages, resources etc is
persisted via Boss i.e. to a file. The configurator via a config file
takes care of setting up the wiki which includes user, the appropropriate
roles and permissions and the loading of the boss file i.e. the contents.
The configurator is also told how many snapshots to keep around and can be
also told to load a specific snapshot, by default it loads the latest.
Once you have things setup as you like them re-starting a wiki is a matter
of:
Configurator startWikiFrom: aConfigFile.
If it is indeed VW that you are using , I would like to tidy things up and
probably make the user and role configuration a little easier. I currently
allow anonymoous user the capability of viewing but not editing, a normal
user can only edit pages but not folders and of course admin can do
whatever it feels like doing. Of course you can create your own roles.
Let me know if this would be useful to you and if so I'll put more focus
on it and I guess put it out in the Cincom public repository.

I'm using
VW and yes I have not stripped my image. No need in my case.
Even if I did strip my image I would not have the same problem since I
don't rely on the auto image save storage mechanism but rather I built a
storage strategy that uses BOSS i.e. the contents are bossed out at
regular intervals given that there is new content to save. Finally, as
long as one has left the appropriate classes in the image there should
not
be a problem in VW with doing auto image saves although in general I
don't
like the idea any how.
Humm... I do not know much about BOSS. What is the status of your
extension ? Could we use it ? Can you recreate a wiki from the database?

Right. The think with stripping an image is that there is some problem
with the saving mechanism of Smallwiki. The image is saved each hour and it does not work properly with a
stripped image.
I already mention this problem to the vwnc mailing list I guess... I do
not know if this has changed yet.
We use VNC on our solaris server to hold the X session, and on our mac
we use the X11 server to connect to it. It works pretty fine.
However, with Squeak there should not be any problem to have a non-gui
version. But we did not find it necessary to have it here, at the
University.
Bytecode modification is extremely easy to do in Smalltalk. A 10 second
long example (made with Squeak). In a workspace do the following:
Object compile: 'foo ^ 1 + 2'. "Object new foo => 3"
(Object >> #foo) at: 7 put: 177. "The bytecode 177 does a - between the
operand"
Object new foo => -1
But I guess we are loosing track of this mailing list :-)
Cheers,
Alexandre
