STON question
by Russ Whaley July 2, 2020

July 2, 2020

Good morning all from stormy Ohio/USA. Hope everyone is well and sheltering effectively from COVID, etc. I have a STON question. FIrst off, I LOVE STON. It has been the answer to my (minimal) persistence needs. I'm writing two different applications, both of which I hope to distribute someday, and I struggled with what would work to save configurations, templates, status, etc. STON was the answer for me - it's very easy to install and simple to use. But as I add the next feature/function in my code - sort blocks - as soon as I tried to save them (a collection of them in an instvar)... I get an error on the writeToSTON, and the target file is now corrupt - at the point where it tried to write the blocks. I have looked in the documentation and it plainly states the version I'm using does not yet address blocks - but I was hoping someone out there has developed a workaround, or perhaps has STON been updated to handle blocks? I could make the jump to a more sophisticated storage mechanism (i.e. Fuel?), but I'd rather spend my time working on features and figuring out the Spec2 GUI. :) Any advice is welcome and appreciated. Thanks! Russ -- Russ Whaley whaley.russ(a)gmail.com

Pharo 8. Epicea seems to be turned off. how do I get it working again?

Hi- I had an image lock up so I "Force quit" it from the apple menu. When I check "Code Changes" its most recent changes are from 9 days ago. My most recent save was a few hours ago & I was able to restore the missing code between the save & now by dropping the changes file in the image. How do I double check and get epicea running again in this image? Thanks

New type of web application using HTML, CSS and Smalltalk
by Erik Stel June 26, 2020

June 26, 2020

I have published my first demo of a new type of webapplication based on a tiny Smalltalk image running in the browser, acting as the JS-engine. Create a dynamic application using Smalltalk only, with the direct manipulation you're familiar with from Smalltalk. And ...(in the near future)... with the same debugging capabilities. Still work in progress, but hopefully providing an idea of what's in store. Feel free to ask questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvY7R6te7go -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
