Hi Dennis, Yes, it will take a while for all add on packages to stabilize now that 2.0 is out. I think you need to do something like PharoDatabaseAccessor DefaultDriver: NativePostgresDriver.

[Pharo-project] Glorp, PSQL in Pharo 2.0

by Dennis Schenk

Hi all, I downloaded a Pharo 2.0 image and wanted to connect my local PostgreSQL database. For Pharo 1.4 I used *Gofer new * * squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';* * package: 'ConfigurationOfGlorpDBX';* * load. * *ConfigurationOfGlorpDBX project latestVersion load: 'GlorpPostgresV2NativeWithTests* and went from there. First I tried doing the same in Pharo 2.0, but that "ended" in a endless loop. So I loaded the packages found here: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~DBXTalk/Glorp/ I then tried to connect to my database in the following way: *login := Login new* * database: PostgreSQLPlatform new;* * username: 'user';* * password: 'pwd';* * host: 'localhost';* * databaseName: 'db-name'.* *accessor := PharoDatabaseAccessor forLogin: login.* *accessor login.* But I got an error: *receiver of new is nil * in: *PharoDatabaseAccessor>>**loginIfError: aBlock * * self log: 'Login'.* * self databaseDriver: self connectionClass new.* *...* Whats would be the correct way to connect and use a psql db from Pharo 2.0? Cheers, Dennis

Re: [Pharo-project] semi-modal sequences in keymappings [WAS] WhatsUp from: 2013-03-18 until: 2013-03-31

by phil＠highoctane.be

I am currently looking at some keyboard code in the VM with my iOS bluetooth keyboard experiment. We can grab a lot of things on the image side (for example, left and right shifts are different etc). KEY_DOWN, KEY_CHAR, KEY_UP can be passed. But the code does basic things at the moment and can for sure be made more extended. But then to do that, maybe a bit more platform specific. Which may not be what one wants. Once I got hold of the details in my keyboard management code (now dealing with arrows, braces, etc), keymapping are my next area of investigation as for navigating Pharo on an iPad, being hable to do a lot with the external keyboard is very useful.

That's cool. I wonder if there is a web page that gathers all important links to the Pharo community.
