How To Implement A New Calendar
by Bahman Movaqar June 25, 2013

June 25, 2013

Hi all, In Iran we use a calendar different from Gergorian and Islamic calendars; it's called Jalali calendar[1]. The people in Afghanistan use the same calendar but with different month names. So, I was wondering how can I implement this calendar in Pharo? I've already done the conversion routines in Python[2] but that is nowhere near a real calendar. What I have in mind is a subclass (?) of `Date` which seamlessly supports all `Date` operations but using a different calendar system. I'd appreciate any hits/pointers.

Re: [Pharo-users] where is appendStream?

you can use fileReference writeStream setToEnd instead of just writeStream, that should be the same behavior as appendStream...

smalltalkhub project as a repository
by Bahman Movaqar June 25, 2013

June 25, 2013

I just noticed it: when adding a new repository, there's an option for projects on 'smalltalkhub.com'. Is this something new or I was just ignorant about this? Anyway, congratulations on the design choice. -- Bahman Movaqar (http://BahmanM.com) ERP Evaluation, Implementation & Deployment Consultant PGP Key ID: 0x6AB5BD68 (keyserver2.pgp.com)

Hello, I use in Pharo 2.0Â the class FileSystem to write in a text file(csv format).Â I find only two options writeStream and readStream.Â I would not like each time to overwrite the contents of my file and I do not find the option appendStream. How can I do? working := FileSystem disk workingDirectory. stream := (working / 'test.csv') writeStream stream nextPutAll: 'something'. stream nextPutAll: ';' . stream nextPutAll: 'other'. stream close. ------------------------------------ Hayatou Â

Comments not working in Ubuntu 13.04
by Kenneth Payne June 22, 2013

June 22, 2013

I've just noticed that class comments have stopped working in Pharo since I upgraded from Xubuntu 12.10 to Xubuntu 13.04. If I make any change to a comment or add a new comment I get an error in RemoteString - 'RemoteSring past end of file'. This happens both for Pharo 2.0 images and older Pharo 1.4 images. It happens if I add comments to new classes or to classes where I have previously successfully added comments. This is where it falls down: string "Answer the receiver's string if remote files are enabled. Use a read only copy to avoid syntax errors when accessed via multiple processes." | theFile | (sourceFileNumber == nil or: [(SourceFiles at: sourceFileNumber) == nil]) ifTrue: [^'']. theFile := (SourceFiles at: sourceFileNumber) readOnlyCopy. ^[filePositionHi > theFile size ifTrue: [ self error: 'RemoteString past end of file' ]. theFile position: filePositionHi. theFile nextChunk] ensure: [theFile close] Anyone else seen this? Anyone got a solution? Ken
