Re: About the new PRWidgets

As a newbie in Magritte, I don't understand well how the new widgets work in Pier. For my personal web site I'm programming in Pier, I created a PRBoxWidget instance to encapsulate other widgets.

In my case, I like to have two instances of my site main class in my disptacher: one for admin displaying everything and one for everybody with only a PRSearchWidget and a PRTree (no commands, no views); each one pointing to the same kernel. So until you don't know the url to access to the admin path you don't see the 'login' link. I did this using: PRBoxWidget subclass: #MyNavigationWidget instanceVariableNames: 'adminPool userPool' ...etc MyNavigationWidget>>#renderContentOn: self adminConfigFlag ifTrue: [adminPool do: [:ea | html render: ea] separatedBy: [html break]] ifFalse: [userPool... with adminConfigFlag being a simple boolean in the associated WAConfiguration.. MyNavigationWidget>>#initialize super initialize. adminPool := Array with: PRTreeWidget new with: PRCommandsWidget new with: PRViewsWidget. userPool := Array with: PRTreeWidget new with: PRSearchWidget Not a beautiful OO way to do things but it worked. But now I am a bit lost. If you understand what I mean (and you have time), I'll be glad you shortly explain where to look for to change this in the new way because now it doesn't work.

It's maybe a easy task to do but I don't know how to rethink my interface.

PS: great change in visitParagraph: . It's cool. I did those kinds of modification in order to avoid a <div class='paragraph'> in the start of the default page (as I need to manage two absolute divs). Your way is better.
