Hi Adriaan,
Sorry to bother you at this time with this subject. Do
you know if I
can
use '[', ']', '<' and '>' in a SmallWiki page? Or
else tell me where I
can
read this.
The problem is that I want to describe the syntax of my test tool using
regular expressions:
<command> <mandatory parameter> [optional parameter]
you can use all special wiki characters by escaping them: that is you
escape them by putting a back-slash in front like \[, \*, \!, ... For <
and > this is slightly different, as they are used to build the xhtml
and are preserved by SmallWiki. You have to write them using
html-syntax: > and <
Actually all the escaping isn't necessary if you use preformatted-text,
maybe want to do this anyway when displaying source-code.
= #( a b c ) do: [ :eaach |
= Transcript show: '<'; show: each; show: '>'; cr ]
Hope this helps,
Lukas
Preferably it should work within a table.
Escaping works in any context :)
Cheers,
Lukas

Thanx. This all worked like a charm. But not before we finally migrated to
the latest dev version from the cincom public repository.
The migration when fine, except for three problems. Two solved, one open.
* Folders didn't have a document. To get it to work I made the getter look
like:
document
document isNil ifTrue: [^self defaultDocument].
^document
* The users had been given instances of Role as roles. This class seems to
be abstract, so we replaced the roles with appropiate ones. Problem seems
to be solved.
* The last and still not solved problem is that links do not work in MSIE.
The do work in NetScape and FireFox. The problem is that IE doens't see
the links are relative, eg. 'Changes' links to
'http:///?action=RecentChanges' in stead of
http://somehost:8080/?action=RecentChanges.
Any idea what this might be?
Cheers,
Adriaan.

Hi Adriaan,

Two solved, one
open.
I'm glad to hear this, because as far as I know you were using a very
very old version of SmallWiki (pre ESUG) and a lot has changed since
then. Basically most migration is done automatically by VisualWorks
itself, some other is done in methods called #migrate... The first two
changes you refer to and that you could successfully fix by yourself
point to that pre-alpha-time ...
* The last and still not solved problem is that links
do not work in
MSIE. The do work in NetScape and FireFox. The problem is that IE
doens't see the links are relative, eg. 'Changes' links to
'http:///?action=RecentChanges' in stead of
http://somehost:8080/?action=RecentChanges. Any idea what this might
be?
And this one is again pretty simple to fix, you just have to set the
correct property in the 'SmallWiki Workspace' to make it possible for
SmallWiki to render the absolute paths correctly:
server basePath: 'http://www.myservername.ch:8080'.
Hope this helps!

Again this worked like a charm. We now have refreshed SmallWiki Workspace
contents.
We also moved to SIXX storage and did a complete import from our old
wikiworks wiki! Party hard ;).
Two questions.
Has the SIXX storage something to prevent you harddisk runs out of free
space?
How do I move stuctures from one folder to another?
Cheers,
Adriaan.

No, but SmallWiki is open for extensions :)
How do I move stuctures from one folder to another?
I do it using some inpsectors on 'server root' and its children.
There is also a web-interface as an enhancement available that is able to do
exactly this task in a more visual manner without the need to have Smalltalk
knowledge. David Vogel, is it working? Can you help on this?

a) load and delete some stuff
------------------------------
- load the package SmallWiki.Admin
- delete classes and methods from THIS package as follows:
- class security
- class barrierrole
- methods that this package has overridden.(from class user, structure)
BUT don't delete the method SwazooSite>>prepareRequestCookies: aHTTPRequest
b) or load it, use it, and unload it
hope this helps.
I should provide this extension in a separate package in future...

pps. some documentation:
--------------------------------------------
Load the package named Smallwiki.Admin from Cincom Public StORE into
your image. This package is required if you want to use the security
extension
with its security user interface and the features
of safe delegation. Run the postload class method
SmallWiki.Structure migrateAction:SmallWiki.Advanced in order to register
the Advanced menu item into your Template. This postload method should
be executed automatically when loading the package, but if the Advanced
menu item doesn’t show up in the Admin menu, re-run the method in the
workspace.

New subject: bugs in RSS
Hi Lukas and others,
I found a couple of bugs in the RSS creation.
#If page titles contain diactrical characters or just an &, rss creation
is broken.
#Some other pages also break rss creation, but if you resave (without
making any change) those pages, it rss creation works again. I even had
the impression that just view them might be repairing it :/. I can't
figure what this might be..

New subject: bugs in RSS
Hi Adriaan,

#If page titles contain diactrical characters or just an &, rss
creation is broken.
yes I know of these bugs, but unfortunately they aren't that easy to
fix. A new encoder is needed, similar to the one of HTMLWriteStream but
just for that rss-thingy. Maybe someone in the community want to help
on this?
What is more I cannot control what people put into their wiki-pages,
therefor the XHTML might be malformed. Maybe you want to try to throw
in an & and see if this works for both xhtml and rss. I will look
for a more satisfying solution as soon as I have more time.
#Some other pages also break rss creation, but if you
resave (without
making any change) those pages, it rss creation works again. I even
had the impression that just view them might be repairing it :/. I
can't
figure what this might be..
Maybe there are some problems with the old document-model and if it
gets parsed again it is built exactly as the current implementation
expects it to be.
Again Razzmatazz, but still Sorted for E's & Wizz :)
Cheers,
Lukas

New subject: problem with editing pages containing escape sequences
Hi Lukas and others,
In the ancient version of SmallWiki we used up to yesterday there was a
problem with escape sequences when the pages was edited again. Some got
lost then. In the current version you still lose the escape sequence of
\|.

New subject: problem with editing pages containing escape sequences
Hi Adriaan,
In the ancient version of SmallWiki we used up to
yesterday
there was a problem with escape sequences when the pages was
edited again. Some got lost then. In the current version you
still lose the escape sequence of \|.
escaping is a relatively new feature of SmallWiki and don't let you
fool by the fact that unnecessary escaping is optimized by SmallWiki.
As you observed correctly there is a problem with \| in certain
contexts. Unfortunately I don't see an easy fix to solve this problem,
as the parser has to be changed as well. Maybe we should do a coding
session together sometime ... ;)
The only work-around I'm currently able to offer to you is use the
html-escaping in the rare cases where it is necessary:
