Hi Smalltalkers,
Yes we are here.
As you already know I won't come to the meeting the coming week.
Therefore I thought it would be good to give you a brief list of the
things I did this week:
- First, I went a bit deeper into SIXX to archive xml persistence of
the data. It was a bit tricky, because SIXX does a deep-save by
default and we would have all data in one single xml-file. Therefore I
added code to create a directory structure in the filesystem and to
put each structure-item into a single file. Currently there is no
loading implemented and the code is not attached to the web-interface,
but you can see a small example in StoreTests>>testSave.
does it means that we have one dir for a wiki and for each page?
- Then I started a complete refactoring of the
inheritance in the
action classes, because we currently had some ugly code-duplications.
Most of the problems are solved now but not all the code of the
view-actions have been pushed-up yet.
- At the same time I improved the versioning and history mechanism.
You have now the possibility to restore or to revert to an old version
and to truncate history information from any point. I did not write
tests for this new features, but more is expected to come. Also I did
not add code to handle these things for whole wiki trees, because I
think that will be the task for a special management plugin.
Exact.
Yesterday I was thinking that a features I would like is to have
wiki that redirect to other ones to ease migration and also the
possibility to rename
wiki.
- I refactored the visitor-classes, because there was a lot of
unnecessary baggage and I had to deal with inheritance. Especially the
stuff with inheritance (e.g. when #acceptPage: is called also
#acceptStructure: has to be called because Page inherits from
Structure), but I think I found a good solution.
- Today I tested everything on my new mac ;-) , because I couldn't
leave that machine any longer without touching but learning exams next
to.
Which new mac? Pay attention on mac you should get the right VM for VW
because it is really slow.
If you need software for mac just ask. I started to accumulated a lot
of useful goodies
and roel has all kinds of professional editions :).
Cheers
Lukas
