funny idea Symbol vs. Selector
by stephane ducasse May 14, 2015

May 14, 2015

Hi guys I'm thinking aloud... I was wondering if we could not take advantage of a new class: Selector. MethodDict would only contain selectors and not symbols. I remember that I talked about that with hernan. Stef

Postmark email library
by Francois Stephany Aug. 31, 2013

Aug. 31, 2013

Hi guys, I've made a simple wrapper around the Postmark API. It lets you send emails without dealing with a SMTP server. You can read about it here: http://developer.postmarkapp.com/developer-libs.html http://developer.postmarkapp.com/developer-build.html and there: http://articles.tulipemoutarde.be/send-email-from-pharo-with-postmark It's pretty simple and naive implementation but it gets the job done. I'll add email attachements when I will need it. Francois

Package browser?
by Rob Vens June 28, 2013

June 28, 2013

I am attempting to do the Pharo by Example book, but a package browser (which is used in the examples) is not in the 1.1.1 or 1.2 image. Should I still use categories? If I create a package in Monticello browser I am not able to add classes or anything (not as far as I could see). Just starting out using Pharo, so apologies if these questions are already answered elsewhere.

Zinc crashes an image.
by Paul DeBruicker Sept. 25, 2012

Sept. 25, 2012

Hi - I'm pretty sure I'm having the same problem Phillipe had/described in this message: http://forum.world.st/Zinc-crashing-image-at-start-up-td3785797.html At least the PharoDebug.log is the same. It happens on both the most recent Cog and interpreter VM. Is there a way to recover from this? I could follow Sean's instructions from this thread if necessary: http://forum.world.st/Fwd-Oops-I-put-a-halt-in-a-startup-method-td3800729.h… Or is there a way to extract changes from a changes file for one image into another image? I'd rather fix the broken image but if its not possible I'd then just try to load those changes I don't have. Thanks for any guidance you can provide. Paul

Pharo Morphic View Application Framework
by S Krish Feb. 4, 2012

Feb. 4, 2012

http://skrishnamachari.wordpress.com/2012/01/31/pharo-application-framework… Obliged for feedback ... For details and links.. Sharing this little framework that should go some way to ease creating large applications ( currently morphic oriented). AbstractMorphicView subclass: #MyNewView â¦ #createMorphsSpecs ^{ âpanel1â² -> #SomeOtherView. âlabel1â² -> #LabelMorph. âtext1â² -> #PluggableTextMorph. âbutton1â² -> #PluggableButtonMorph. } layoutSpecsArray ^{ âwidgetNameInMorphsDictionaryâ -> { #fractions -> (0 @ 0 corner: 1 @ 0.5). â fractional value 0 to 1 range â #offsets -> (10 @ 10 corner: 0 @ 0). â offsets relative to the fractional position â }. ââ¦ add other widgetspecsâ¦â } Thats it.. you should have a prototype UI neatly laid out.. and then specify: #morphsPrimaryPropertiesSpecs and #morphsSecondaryPropertiesSpecs for full functionality that composes views inside views and scales well. AbstractSimpleMorphicView can make it simpler for TableLayout stuff without requiring #layoutSpecsArray. ..... the main post has other details and links to package...

Command Line Interface using FFI
by Guillermo Polito Jan. 30, 2012

Jan. 30, 2012

I've spent a few hours playing with Alien+FFI and I did want to have a Command line interface to play and use as a quick browser. Gofer it squeaksource: 'CLInterface'; package: 'ConfigurationOfCLInterface'; load. ConfigurationOfCLInterface load. To play with it write a script, for example startCLI.st, with the following: *CLInterface start* And then, from the command line CogVM -vm-display-null <image> startCLI.st What it does support? - executes smalltalk expressions - handles the errors and shows them into the stdout (so it does not explode :P) - stores variables as a workspace Since I used standard C functions (fgets and printf only) this should work on every platform from scratch (having a VM with FFI working, of course)... The problems I've ran so far: - blocking FFI blocks the vm. I've not tried yet to use threads through FFI (and I don't know if it works. Does it?). But It should be great to start a headless seaside server with a command line :/. Ok, it's a very simple thing, but it allows to execute a expression from a remote server via ssh without doing much :). Guille

by John Gardner Jan. 28, 2012

Jan. 28, 2012

Hello Everyone, Just wondering if someone had either enhanced Scamper or developed a real web browser that compares with Firefox in browsing and rendering of web pages... don't really care about Javascript support. Please let me know. Thanks, John. -- *John Gardner, CMC* Certified Management Consultant and Certified Enterprise Architect *JVG Consulting Inc.* Management Consulting and Enterprise Architecture 905-933-1372

Fwd: [Pharo-project] Pharo sprint in Brussels on Feb 4th
by Mariano Martinez Peck Jan. 27, 2012

Jan. 27, 2012

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Andy Kellens <akellens(a)vub.ac.be> Date: Fri, Jan 27, 2012 at 11:35 AM Subject: [Pharo-project] Pharo sprint in Brussels on Feb 4th To: Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr Dear Pharoers, In an earlier mail Stephan Eggermont already mentioned that there will be Pharo sprint collocated with the FOSDEM conference next week. This sprint will take place on Saturday February 4th from 10h until 18h in the rooms of the Software Languages Lab of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. More precisely: Room 10F720 (10th floor of building F) Vrije Universiteit Brussel Pleinlaan 2 1050 Brussels Due to renovations to our building, you will have to enter via the entrance between buildings F and G. As the university is normally closed on a Saturday, you might have to pass via security in order to be allowed entrance to the building (they have been notified about the sprint). If you are coming by car, please send me your license plate so that I can make sure that you are allowed to enter the campus. To get some idea of how many people to expect, could you please let us know if you are planning to attend. Kind regards, Andy -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com
