Help testing Pharo 1.1 in big screens!
by Mariano Martinez Peck May 13, 2010

May 13, 2010

Hi folks. I re-try (yes, yes, I re-insist hahaha) to have a background picture for the PharoDev 1.1. The last time I tried, we had a problem with the picture because in big screens instead of making it bigger, it put it several times, or it cut it. Now, thanks to Gary, it should work well. So, if you are a lucky guy an have a big screen, can you please take the latests PharoCore 1.1 image, for example this: https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/26995/PharoCore-1.1-11357-UNSTABLE… How to test it ? - Download this in the same directory where the .image is: https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/26996/pharoBackground.png Then evaluate: World backgroundMorph: ((UITheme builder newAlphaImage: (ImageReadWriter formFromFileNamed: 'pharoBackground.png') help: nil) autoSize: false; layout: #scaled; lock) What to test ? - You should stretch the pharo image, make it very big, and the background picture should stretch also together with the image. - If you notice a performance decrease with it (I don't think so) - If you like it or not. - If the resolution is good enough in big screens Thanks!

ecompletion - smart characters
by Johan Fabry May 13, 2010

May 13, 2010

I am very annoyed. Please turn this OFF by default. It is for me the most !@#$%^ way auto bracket typing is implemented. There is no obvious way to type a single ' or [ or ... I type it once, I get two. I delete one of them, the other also dissapears.

Request help in using any WYSIWYG Javascript editor, preferably TinyMCE
by Marco A. Gonzalez May 11, 2010

May 11, 2010

Hi, I'm new to Pharo, and think that along with Seaside, it is so well architected that it's compelling me to try it for professional web development. I've created a simple web application in Seaside into which I'd like to incorporate a WYSIWYG Javascript editor for the HTML textarea tags so my users can enter stylized text. I've used TinyMCE in the past in my Java-based web apps, and it's been very simple to integrate. See http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/ . However, I can't get it to work in my Pharo/Seaside web applications. It just doesn't show up in my web browser. I hope I've specified everything below clearly, completely and succinctly. Has anyone else incorporated TinyMCE successfully? What am I missing? What am I doing wrong? Below are the relevant snippets of code: ---- #updateRoot: anHtmlRoot super updateRoot:anHtmlRoot. "Adds tinyMCE javascript code to the document with a 'script src=' anHtmlRoot addScript: self tinyMCEJavascript. #tinyMCEJavascript ^' tinyMCE.init({ // General options // mode : "textareas", mode : "specific_textareas", editor_selector : "useJavascriptWYSIWYGEditor", theme : "advanced", plugins : "safari,spellchecker,pagebreak,style,layer,table,save,advhr,advimage,advlink,emotions,iespell,inlinepopups,insertdatetime,preview,media,searchreplace,print,contextmenu,paste,directionality,fullscreen,noneditable,visualchars,nonbreaking,xhtmlxtras,template,imagemanager,filemanager", // Theme options theme_advanced_buttons1 : "save ,newdocument ,| ,bold ,italic ,underline ,strikethrough ,| ,justifyleft ,justifycenter ,justifyright ,justifyfull,|,styleselect,formatselect,fontselect,fontsizeselect", theme_advanced_buttons2 : "cut ,copy ,paste ,pastetext ,pasteword ,| ,search ,replace ,| ,bullist ,numlist ,| ,outdent ,indent ,blockquote ,| ,undo ,redo ,| ,link ,unlink ,anchor ,image ,cleanup ,help,code,|,insertdate,inserttime,preview,|,forecolor,backcolor", theme_advanced_buttons3 : "tablecontrols ,| ,hr ,removeformat ,visualaid ,| ,sub ,sup ,|,charmap,emotions,iespell,media,advhr,|,print,|,ltr,rtl,|,fullscreen", theme_advanced_buttons4 : "insertlayer ,moveforward ,movebackward ,absolute ,| ,styleprops ,spellchecker ,| ,cite ,abbr ,acronym ,del ,ins ,attribs ,| ,visualchars ,nonbreaking,template,blockquote,pagebreak,|,insertfile,insertimage", theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top", theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left", theme_advanced_statusbar_location : "bottom", theme_advanced_resizing : true, // Example content CSS (should be your site CSS) content_css : "css/example.css", // Drop lists for link/image/media/template dialogs template_external_list_url : "js/template_list.js", external_link_list_url : "js/link_list.js", external_image_list_url : "js/image_list.js", media_external_list_url : "js/media_list.js", // Replace values for the template plugin template_replace_values : { username : "Some User", staffid : "991234" } }); '. #renderContentOn: html html document addLoadScript:'tinyMCE.init();'. html div class: 'AmagaviBNIEventEditor'; with: [ html form multipart with: [ html table class: 'rolodex'; with:[ html tableRow:[ html tableHeading:'Descriptive text'. html tableData:[ html textArea "class: 'content';" class: 'useJavascriptWYSIWYGEditor'; columns: '60'; rows: '5'; callback: [ :editedValue | self event descriptiveText: editedValue ]; value: self event descriptiveText. ]. ]. "tableRow" ]. "table" html submitButton callback: [ self save. ]; value: 'Save'. html submitButton callback: [self cancel]; value: 'Cancel'. ]. "form" ]. "div" ---- Using my web browser, when I "view source" to see the HTML, I appropriately see the following HTML in between the <head></head> tags: <script type="text/javascript" src="/amagaviBNI? _s=UOMr33WyYGqoSDx0"></script> Copy/Pasting the "/amagaviBNI?_s=UOMr33WyYGqoSDx0" in my browser appropriately shows the tinyMCE.init() javascript method that is referenced by #tinyMCEJavascript. The textarea HTML appropriately shows <textarea rows="5" cols="60" class="useJavascriptWYSIWYGEditor" name="5">This is an event. </textarea> The body tag looks like this: <body onload="onLoad()"> ... and right above the closing body tag, the HTML is... <script type="text/javascript">/*<![CDATA[*/function onLoad() {tinyMCE.init();}/*]]>*/</script></body> I'm using PharoCore1.0, Latest update: #10517 on a Macintosh MacBookPro with OS X v10.5.8. Using "printIt" on SmalltalkImage current vmVersion, I get 'Squeak3.8.1 of ''28 Aug 2006'' [latest update: #6747] Squeak VM 4.2.2b1' I think I'm using Seaside 3.0a5 since I have a window entitled "Seaside 3.0a5" but since I've used the World menu > System > Software update to update my system, I don't know if it's been updated. I also don't know what to evaluate to determine what actual version of Seaside I'm running so I'd be grateful if someone could tell me how to do that too. If there's a newer version of Seaside that I've not been getting using "Software update", then would you tell me how to get the most recent, "usable" version also? Finally, thanks to everyone who has developed all the above-mentioned components, as well as the people using Pharo and Seaside and have been posting and answering questions. I hope to get to a point of expertise where I can contribute as well. - Marco A. --------- Marco A. Gonzalez web: http://www.amagavi.com/

Hello everybody, I'm a recent Pharo user and I think it's pretty good. So I really want to help. I went on the bug tracker but it seems difficult for me to resolve this kind of issues for the moment. This brings me to a really simple question: How can I help ? Regard, Deathiop.

Intro and Invalid UTF8 message
by Ron Jeffries May 9, 2010

May 9, 2010

Hi ... Ron Jeffries here. Long time (and long ago) Smalltalk user. Loving Pharo so far. However, I'm having some issues getting it set up nicely in Windows, especially Windows 7. I used the Windows one-click installer (and have also tried the zip file). Either way, Windows does not appear to recognize that Pharo is installed, so that when I try to set up a file association, pharo.exe doesn't get associated. (At one point, I did something that got it partly associated, but even then if i would click a .image file, I got a UTF8 error and the original image wound up opening.) It does work to drag a saved image onto pharo.exe. That's not quite as convenient as it might be but is livable certainly. So I'm looking for a pointer to some advice on setting Pharo up on Windows XP and Windows 7. Thanks, Ron Jeffries www.XProgramming.com www.xprogramming.com/blog In programming, do, or undo. There is always try. --Yoda

Messing with sockets
by Geoffroy Couprie May 9, 2010

May 9, 2010

Hello, I try to play with sockets in Pharo, and I encounter a strange error. Here is my code: |tempsock| Socket initialize. tempsock := Socket newTCP. tempsock listenOn: 12345 backlogSize: 4. [sock isNil] whileTrue:[sock:= tempsock waitForAcceptFor: 600]. sock sendCommand: 'Hello world!!'. sock ifNotNil: [[sock isConnected] whileTrue: [[sock waitForDataUntil:2000] ifTrue: [sock sendCommand:'Looping'. sock sendCommand: sock receiveData ]. ]]. sock closeAndDestroy. Once the connection is accepted, an exception is thrown in "sock waitForDataUntil:2000" by BlockCosure>>mustBeBooleanIn:context. From what I see, the signal "proceed for truth" is sent, and th debugger kicks in. How can I prevent the debugger from starting? Best regards, Geoffroy
