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

How do I save contents of Workspace into a collection?
by Frank Church Jan. 31, 2015

Jan. 31, 2015

Hi guys, My images are gathering a number of Workspaces whose contents I don't want to delete. I want to create a collection of Workspace contents along this defintion: Description Date Category Content (the actual text in the Workspace). In the final version I would like to be able to select a workspace and simply click a button or a menu item and get a dialog where I can enter the Description, Category and Date with the Workspace contents automatically captured into a text box. Copying and pasting the contents would be okay to start with. Filing it out would be another aspect later. What kind of array would best suited to the task? There is quite a number of them depicted here: http://www.jmcsweeney.co.uk/computing/m206/collections_intro.php What could be the best way to go about it? For those who are curious I am experimenting with the original ideas of Smalltalk where a computer user would do everything in Smalltalk workspace/desktop. I am intrigued by the possibility and somehow it seems eminently doable. -- Frank Church ======================= http://devblog.brahmancreations.com

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.

Re: [Pharo-users] Phaas - anyone interested in setting up Pharo as a Service?

> he, sorry for insist, but cloudfoundry already does that... and is opensource too :) > at ESUG I seen James present it to deploy pharo images... so is viable :) > > cheers, > Esteban > I agree. And, I was really quite optimistic about cloud foundry when it first came out. I particularly like the way you can have a local micro cloud, and then transition to the hosted cloud. My only disappointment was that VMware are not - seemingly - going to offer gemstone as an option on cloudfoundry.com. Building on what Janko said, I think it is really important to join the cloud 'wave'. The question is how might we - collectively - make this happen? I am perfectly happy to go with cloud foundry, or open shift, or any other option if more knowledgeable people can show that X is the way to go. My only requirement is that I don't want to deal with anyone lower than pharo. All OS patches need to be done automagically by the hosting provider. I think cloudfoundry.com and open shift do that, but my understanding of cloudfoundry.org is that this is a 'roll it yourself' solution. Obviously, that would require someone to step up and do that for us. My preference would be for us to create a suitably configured module for one of e platforms, and we can then start getting experience with it. Stephane, is this something that the consortium might take a lead on? My company is happy to pay some of the costs, if this will help. Cheer Andy

ZnUrl: Add multiple segment string
by Sean P. DeNigris March 22, 2013

March 22, 2013

What's the best way to do the following (non-working): aZnUrl / 'path/segment/string'. Ways I thought of: - Ugly: (url asString, 'path/segment/string') asZnUrl. - Non-working: #addPathSegment: - Tedious: url / 'path' / 'segment' / 'string' It seems like a common-enough thing to do, but I couldn't find a way that I liked...

Pharo 1.4 Unable to download from HTTPS Monticello repository
by Federico.Balaguer March 12, 2013

March 12, 2013

Hello I am having problems downloading packages from a HTTPS Monticello repository. The image has Zodiac installed. I am able to upload versions but I cannot download them. I am able to download the packages from a web-browser, Using the Monticello Browser I can browse the content of the given repository. When I select any package on the repository a debugger pops up: "MNU: Character>>bitOr:" I do not see how to fix the problem, at some point, MCMczReader>>zip calls Zip>>readFrom: calls Zip>>readEndOfCentralDirectoryFrom: calls ReadStream>>nextLittleEndianNumber: calls SmallInteger>>bitOr: with a Character as parameter which makes the <primitive 15> to fail. I can try to fix the problem but I would need a little help to understand the root of the problem.

datepicker question
by Sabine KnÃ¶fel Feb. 28, 2013

Feb. 28, 2013

Hi, I use datepicker like this: html textInput value: Date today; callback: [ :value | self date: value ] ; script: (( html jQuery new datepicker) onSelect: html jQuery ajax serializeThis). In case of selecting the date within the datepicker popup (click at a date), it works fine ("self date:" is sent). But if I change the date within the textInput field, without using the datepicker popup, the callback is not fired. How can I set the date: also in case that the user types in the date in the text field?

Aida 6.5 loading in Pharo 2.0!
by Torsten Bergmann Feb. 28, 2013

Feb. 28, 2013

>And I thought 'Untrusted' was going to be renamed 'Community Supported' >or some such. Did that decision get changed or just slide through the >cracks? No "Community supported" sounds like you get something "supported" and working, but some of them are outdated and even do not contain a #stable definition. This "Untrusted" is just a convenience to easily load from the common http://squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository/ and check if they are working. Esteban added it. A ConfigurationOfXXX (either in MetacelloRepository or in your own project repo): - if known to work in Pharo 2.0 it should be copied also to ss3.gemstone.com/ss/MetaRepoForPharo20 - if known to work in Pharo 1.4 it should be copied also to http://squeaksource.com/MetaRepoForPharo14 So the first tab in configuration browser contains the ones that have been (currently manually) verified to work in the Pharo version you have in front of you and the ones on the second "untrusted" tab may or may not work in Pharo 2.0. Maybe we should remove the second tab before release. Bye T.
