use and use like this: +value:mytoc|mytoc+ :)

Hello.

Look at method PRValueLink>>tocIn: and you see that PRTocRenderer is responsible of it :) Then look at PRTocRenderer>>visitHeader: and you see that 'toc-number' is rendered. Maybe you can inherited PRTocRenderer in PRMyTocRenderer and reimplement that you need.

Finally, made your value version:

mytocIn: aContext
 <value: 'mytoc' comment: 'Display the table of contents of the current structure, my version :) .'>

^ self lookupStructure: aContext structure do: [ :structure | [ :html |
  PRMyTocRenderer new 
    start: structure
    in: html painter
    on: html ] ]

or add a parameter to the existing #tocIn: method:

mytocIn: aContext
 <value: 'mytoc' comment: 'Display the table of contents of the current structure, my version :) .'>
^ self lookupStructure: aContext structure do: [ :structure | [ :html |

     (self hasParameter: 'mytoc')

        ifTrue: [
           PRMyTocRenderer new 
               start: structure
               in: html painter
               on: html ] 

        ifFalse: [

           PRTocRenderer new 
              start: structure
              in: html painter
              on: html ] ] ]

and use like this: +value:toc|mytoc+

It seems a lot of work to extend Pier classes, but is simple and allows you to do many things.

Dear all,

 

I’m using PIER 2.0 in order to develop a small webpage. After playing around with it for a while many concepts becomes clear. However there still things I’m struggling with.

 

One of these issues are the value links: On a page with some text structured by sections (using “!”) I would like to use something like “+value:toc+” to have a kind of menu in order to refer directly to specific sections in the text. The +value:toc+ exactly fulfills my needs but the rendering looks a bit strange: It creates an unordered list with ordered entries. That means I have a list items beginning with a bullet followed by a number before the heading of section appears…

 

I already tried other constructs such as “children” etc. Can anybody give me an advice how render the “value:toc” without having bullets and numbers at the same. The best solution would be to have neither bullets nor numbers…

 

Many thanks in advance for your help.

 

Best wishes

 

Carl
