Glamour Oddness with Tabs and Tables
by Gareth Cox July 28, 2015

July 28, 2015

Hi All Below is a simple example of my problem. Unless I am missing something, shouldn't the second row of items have 'second' as their tab (title) names? |browser aCollection aDictionary| aCollection := OrderedCollection new add: 'one'; add: 'two'; add: 'three'; add: 'four'; yourself. aDictionary := Dictionary new at: 'first' put: aCollection; at: 'second' put: aCollection copy; yourself. browser := GLMTabulator new title: 'List Example'. aDictionary keysAndValuesDo: [ :key :collection | browser row: [ :row | collection do: [ :string | row column: string asSymbol. browser transmit to: string asSymbol; andShow: [ :a | a text title: key; display: string ] ] ] ]. browser openOn: aDictionary -- Gareth Cox IT Manager/Developer Inspired Org (PTY) Ltd email: gareth(a)inspired.org <mailto:gareth@inspired.org>

Glamour Tabs not updated when update is called
by Gareth Cox July 28, 2015

July 28, 2015

Hi Al Not sure if this is a bug, but here goes. Looking through the Glamour examples in Pharo4 I come across the Updateable Browser example. This example has a line that, when the collection is greater than 1, shows a list tab, the title of which is List, col size printString. This indeed comes up and shows: 'List: 2' but if you continue to add, it doesn't change. The text will change but not the title. I came across this when I couldn't get my browser to add tabs, even though entity gets updated. Example from Glamour below. | browser collection| collection := GLMAnnouncingCollection new. collection add: 1. browser := GLMTabulator new. browser column: #preview. browser act: [:b | b entity add: (b entity size + 1). b update ] icon: GLMUIThemeExtraIcons glamorousAdd entitled: 'Add an item in the collection'. browser act: [:b | b entity removeLast. b update ] icon: GLMUIThemeExtraIcons glamorousRemove entitled: 'Remove last item from the collection'. browser updateOn: GLMItemAdded from: #yourself; updateOn: GLMItemRemoved from: #yourself. browser transmit to: #preview; andShow: [ :a | a list title: [:col | 'List: ', col size printString ]; *"This isn't updating"* when: [:col | col size > 1 ]. a text title: 'Text'; format: [:col | 'Current collection: ', col printString, '. Add more items to show the list'] ]. browser openOn: collection KR -- Gareth Cox IT Manager/Developer Inspired Org (PTY) Ltd email: gareth(a)inspired.org <mailto:gareth@inspired.org>

Announcments vs Events schism
by Peter UhnÃ¡k July 28, 2015

July 28, 2015

Hi, is there a good reason why not just rename Announcement to Event since everyone is calling it that anyways? Everybody (almost irrespective of language) understands what an event, whilst Announcement is a new vocabulary. Most people when subclassing will anyways do Announcement subclass: MyEvent and so forth. Is there a benefit in naming it Announcement? Doesn't it just add more confusion? For example Bloc has Announcement subclass: #BlAbstractEvent and Announcement subclass: #BlMorphAnnouncement whilst Event is clearly favored. BlMorphAnnouncement allSubclasses size. "5" BlAbstractEvent allSubclasses size. "60" (Why does Bloc has this separation anyways?) Peter

SmaCC Warning on Pharo 5
by Dimitris Chloupis July 28, 2015

July 28, 2015

I am installing my project Ephestos on Pharo 5 that depends on SmaCC and SmaCC gives me the following warning This package depends on the following classes: StringHolder You must resolve these dependencies before you will be able to load these definitions: SmaCCCodeHolder SmaCCCodeHolder>>#owner: SmaCCCodeHolder>>#owner:ownerAcceptSelector: SmaCCCodeHolder>>#contents:notifying: SmaCCCodeHolder>>#contentsMenu:shifted: SmaCCCodeHolder>>#contentsMorph SmaCCCodeHolder>>#hasUnacceptedEdits SmaCCCodeHolder>>#okToChange SmaCCCodeHolder>>#owner SmaCCCodeHolder>>#owner: SmaCCCodeHolder>>#owner:ownerAcceptSelector: SmaCCCodeHolder>>#ownerAcceptSelector SmaCCCodeHolder>>#ownerAcceptSelector: SmaCCCodeHolder>>#perform:orSendTo: SmaCCCodeHolder>>#readContentsFromFile SmaCCCodeHolder>>#saveContentsInFile Select Proceed to continue, or close this window to cancel the operation. Is this normal ? Should I be worried ? Is SmaCC ok on Pharo 5 ? Clicking proceed does not appear to create any side effect.

Using geographic data
by Arturo Zambrano July 27, 2015

July 27, 2015

Hi All, I would like to get some advice regarding which path I should take. Problem: Given a coordinate I want to know to which geographical object it belongs to. Path 1 Using Glorp to make a query to a Postgis instance containing the boundaries of the geobjects Path 2 Use the data form GADM data (according to this thread <http://forum.world.st/PostGIS-in-Pharo-td4802233.html>). I would avoid path 1 in order to avoid installation of postgi. From the thread mentioned above, I thing that it requires some development. Regarding Path 2, I don't see which framework or library should I use to import and query the data contained in the KMZ from GADM. Any advice is welcome. Best regards. Art

NativeBoost and variadic functions
by Matthieu Lacaton July 27, 2015

July 27, 2015

Hello, Is it possible with NativeBoost to create a binding for a variadic function ? I've seen the printf example in NBCPrinter but this implementation is kind of cheating since it always pass just a %s as format and one already formatted string to the C function. I've written a simple variadic function which adds every integer it receives as argument (first argument is for the number of following arguments) : int add(int number,...); In Pharo I've tried something like this : *add: *number *arg1: *first *arg2: *second > <primitive: #primitiveNativeCall module: #NativeBoostPlugin> > > ^ self nbCall: #( int add (int number, int first, int second)) > module: 'libMyLib.so' > and it works fine with two arguments. Basically, doing so, I would need one method per number of arguments so it's not very cool. I thought that maybe I could pass an array as argument to my Pharo method but I didn't really find a way to figure out how to define the nbCall without having a "Generic failure". *add: *number *args: *anArray > <primitive: #primitiveNativeCall module: #NativeBoostPlugin> > > ^ self nbCall: #( int add (int number, ??? anArray)) > module: 'libMyLib.so' > Do you have an idea ? Thanks, Matthieu
