To give an
idea, I have extended Pier with structures for
generating diagrams with Graphviz and lists of items matching a
query. I have also developed Pier with visitor objects for
outputting the content of a Pier instance as a collection of
static files.
That sounds very interesting? Is it proprietary or do you have an
URL so that other people could use your extensions as well? I've started looking at Pier's code, and
unfortunately, I'd have
to say it's not the clearest.
Yes, it is not very easy to understand how it works but on the
other hand it is quite easy to extend. Start with a
fresh 3.8 basic image and with SqueakMap Package
Loader, install:
1. DynamicBindings (1.2)
2. KomServices (1.1.2)
3. KomHttpServer (7.0.3)
4. Seaside (2.5)
5. Magritte (1.0.6)
6. Pier (1.0.2-alpha)
That's not required, just load the package 'Pier' from SqueakMap and it will pull in all the requirements
automatically.
It would be a nice addition if Pier could start automatically the
http server if the KomHttpServer package was not previously installed.
