I have a default Magritte edit form for a model that maintains a relation
to a single instance of GeoLocation, a model object with two instance
variables: longitude and latitude. The relation is defined as a
MAToOneRelationDescription.
On the form, the instance of GeoLocation is displayed as the integer of the
longitude attribute, however I want a representation like:
lon: 12.67, lat: 34.09
I looked at MAToOneRelationDescription and its superclass
MAElementDescription implements a #display: method which either accepts a
symbol or a block to customize the display. I've implemented a #printString
method with GeoLocation and passed that to the relation description as:
display: #printString
and
display: [ :anObject | ^ anObject printString ]
But as far as I can tell both the symbol and the block get ignored when
displaying the GeoLocation instance in the Magritte form.
What should I change to get the required display?
Thanks,
Roger

Hi Roger,
I seem to remember the same issue with display - I can’t remember if it’s called at all.
:)
Regardless, I opted to set a reference description along the lines of:
locationsDescription
<magritteDescription>
| template |
template := GeoLocation new.
^ MAToManyRelationDescription new
accessor: #’geoLocations';
classes: { GeoLocation };
label: ‘Locations';
reference: template descriptionDisplayString asContainer;
yourself
…and the descriptionDisplayString would be something like:
descriptionDisplayString
"<magritteDescription> note the comment to stop this becoming part of the
default description"
^ MAStringDescription new
accessor: #’printString';
label: ‘Location';
priority: 100;
beReadonly;
yourself
Let me know how it goes.
Cheers,
J

Hi Jupiter,
Thanks for that. It solved the issue. Are you by chance aware of a decent
sample application that is based Magritte that I can load in a Pharo image?
Or maybe even one based on TWBS (Twitter Bootstrap) for Magritte?
Cheers,
Roger

Hi Roger,
Have you looked at QCMagritte - http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~DiegoLont/QCMagritte
<http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~DiegoLont/QCMagritte>
It’s like jumping in the deep end, but I learnt a lot from it.
