I was afraid that would be the case, but once you change the priorities it
would have to rebuild the container component no? I am not really that
familiar with the halo/plugin stuff....maybe senders of the open: method
might provide some clues
Hey John,
Hey Dario,
I can try and help.

Maybe extend MADescription with #descriptionName that returns a reasonable

^self propertyAt: #descriptionName ifAbsent: [ 'Description for ' , self

Hi,
i'm interested to display and change the priority of MADescription
components when the browser display Halos.
For example i have a class with descriptionA, descriptionB.
For display the priority i change the WAClassnameHaloPlugin renderOn:
method.
For change i create the WAPriorityHaloPlugin.
In the relative execute method i test if component is anMAComponent :
self target description respondTo: #priority .
If yes i,m interested to open the Browser or WABrowser on the relative
descriptionA.
The first question is: how i can define the name of descriptionA from
anObject with magritte structure ?
into execute context of WAPriorityHaloPlugin i see aObject with
memento, description, accessor ..... but i d'ont found link to the relative
generating descriptionA.
Given that aObject's description is a container you can iterate through
the
contained descriptions looking for a match on the selector of the
description.
aObject description detect: [ :each | each accessor selector =
#theSelectorIWant ]
The problem is: at this level i d'ont understand the description name (
descriptionA )relative to the magritte component.
Any magritte component ( create with descriptionA descriptionB descriptionX
relative to one class ) when rendering with halo view, is display with the
relative WAPriorityHaloPlugin anchor.
Now assume to click on anchor relative to component create with
descriptionA i go into relative 'execute' context of
WAPriorityHaloPlugin where i found a specific aObject with memento,
description, accessor,
but i d'ont found, a this level, any link to the original descriptionA.
I can add property to the descriptionA define method:
descriptionA
^(MABooleanDescription new) autoAccessor: #attivo; checkboxLabel: 'Account
attivo'; label: 'Attivo'; priority: 4030;
propertyAt: #descriptionName put: #'descriptionA';
.........
but with this solution i need to change all the descriptions.
The second question is: after change the
descriptionA with the WABrowser
and return to the halo browser how i can update the view to reflect the
change ?
i have do some test but for now ti need to close and reopen the
view.
Descriptions are cached so sending #flush to MANamedBuilder default forces
the (container) descriptions to be rebuilt with the modified descripitons. I
dont know if that will work well in your situation.
I do MANamedBuilder default flush but not work ( the view is rendering
with no change ).
I need to close and reopen the view.
I can flush the cache relative to one specific class
?
Best of luck with it
John
Thank,
Dario
