Hi, i'm interested to display and change the priority of MADescription components when the browser display Halos. For example i have a class with descriptionA, descriptionB. For display the priority i change the WAClassnameHaloPlugin renderOn: method. For change i create the WAPriorityHaloPlugin. In the relative execute method i test if component is anMAComponent : self target description respondTo: #priority . If yes i,m interested to open the Browser or WABrowser on the relative descriptionA. The first question is: how i can define the name of descriptionA from anObject with magritte structure ? into execute context of WAPriorityHaloPlugin i see aObject with memento, description, accessor ..... but i d'ont found link to the relative generating descriptionA. Given that aObject's description is a container you can iterate through the

The second question is: after change the descriptionA with the WABrowser and return to the halo browser how i can update the view to reflect the change ? i have do some test but for now ti need to close and reopen the view.

Thanks for any considerations. Dario _______________________________________________ Magritte, Pier and Related Tools ... https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/smallwiki

Hey John, Hey Dario, I can try and help.

Any magritte component ( create with descriptionA descriptionB descriptionX relative to one class ) when rendering with halo view, is display with the relative WAPriorityHaloPlugin anchor. Now assume to click on anchor relative to component create with descriptionA i go into relative 'execute' context of WAPriorityHaloPlugin where i found a specific aObject with memento, description, accessor, but i d'ont found, a this level, any link to the original descriptionA. I can add property to the descriptionA define method: descriptionA ^(MABooleanDescription new) autoAccessor: #attivo; checkboxLabel: 'Account attivo'; label: 'Attivo'; priority: 4030; propertyAt: #descriptionName put: #'descriptionA'; ......... but with this solution i need to change all the descriptions.

Descriptions are cached so sending #flush to MANamedBuilder default forces the (container) descriptions to be rebuilt with the modified descripitons. I dont know if that will work well in your situation. I do MANamedBuilder default flush but not work ( the view is rendering with no change ). I need to close and reopen the view.

I can flush the cache relative to one specific class ? Best of luck with it John Thank, Dario _______________________________________________ Magritte, Pier and Related Tools ... https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/smallwiki

Maybe extend MADescription with #descriptionName that returns a reasonable default? ^self propertyAt: #descriptionName ifAbsent: [ 'Description for ' , self label ] I do MANamedBuilder default flush but not work ( the view is rendering with no change ). I need to close and reopen the view. I was afraid that would be the case, but once you change the priorities it would have to rebuild the container component no? I am not really that familiar with the halo/plugin stuff....maybe senders of the open: method might provide some clues I can flush the cache relative to one specific class ?
