Missing Scriptaculous classes in Pharo "Seaside-3.1-portable.app"
I am working in Win10 and going through "Dynamic Web Development with Seaside" book using Pharo "Seaside-3.1-portable.app". In Chapter 20.1.2, when I attempt to add the method below to the ToDoListView class, the classes PTDeploymentLibrary and SUDeploymentLibrary are not found in the image. I tried using the PTDevelopmentLibrary and SUDevelopmentLibrary classes, but the Scriptaculous effects which should be available in later exercises does not show up. Am I way behind the web development curve in using Scriptaculous and if so what web development environment should I be looking at? ToDoListView class>>initialize (WAAdmin register: self asApplicationAt: 'todo') addLibrary: PTDeploymentLibrary; addLibrary: SUDeploymentLibrary William Kohl
Hi William, Your image probably doesn't have the Scriptaculous classes loaded. You can load them by running the following code in a workspace: ConfigurationOfSeaside3 project stableVersion load: 'Scriptaculous' Scriptaculous isn't deprecated but isn't the future. jQuery has better support/more active users in Seaside these days. But in the context of the book I wouldn't worry about the fact that its using Scriptaculous and instead follow along and focus on learning about how you're writing/using Javascript for the browser from the Smalltalk image which will be more generally useful no matter what js library is the hot stuff now or in the future. Once you "get" Scriptaculous or jQuery changing to another for a different project is easy. Also there is a seaside list here: http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside you can join for Seaside specific questions like these. It is also available on the http://forum.world.st site. Hope this helps. Paul billgkohl wrote

Thanks for the reply. I executed the line of code you suggested and still no PT or SU Deplotment library. I'm going to look at JQuery. Bill On Tue, Jun 5, 2018 at 9:38 PM Paul DeBruicker <pdebruic@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Bill, If you've loaded the Scriptaculous group then maybe the thing to do is see if the SUDevelopmentLibrary exists in the image and if so change the references from the PTDeploymentLibrary & SUDeploymentLibrary to the PTDevelopmentLibrary & SUDevelopmentLibrary They'll be functionally equivalent, and are included in the Prototype-Core & Scriptaculous-Core packages respectively. The XXDeploymentLibrary classes used to refer to the reference implementations hosted on the developer site IIRC. I forget. Paul billgkohl wrote
