Using Pier as a CMS for a personal site (layouts and urls question)

by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas

Hi all, I'm reading the Dynamic Web Development (still I'm not in the Seaside list or in the Pier, but I'm already part of Pharo, Squeak, Moose and Aida lists, so I'm trying to subscribe to another community when my interaction and questions get bigger) and I found at the beginning of the section "7.7Rendering Lists and Tables" the skeleton of what could be a personal site. Knowing about the existence of Pier I went to see what personal sites where Pier Powered and I have found many that I like. The one I like most is the Doru site at: http://www.tudorgirba.com/ I really like the layout and colors and is pretty similar to what I would choose for me and I thought that this could be an integrated layout in the options provided by Pier (of course if Doru is fine with that). So my first question is: * Could I use this layout? (pleeeease Doru, pleeeeeeease!!! ;-) ) and how? This could be the base for a different layout with the time (that I promise to share also) but is a really good starting point. * I see the blog on Ramon Leon ( onsmalltalk.com ) without the ugly urls and the Doru's site have clean urls. The method to get them in Seaside is documented in the Ramon's blog. Is the same for Pier (being Seaside based) or there is any other procedure? Thanks in advance, Offray

Hi, The examples from the thesis of Philipp are out of date. The up-to-date documentation is in The Moose Book. If you want to discuss Glamour, I would suggest to use the moose-dev(a)iam.unibe.ch mailing list - follow the registration from: https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/moose-dev Further examples can be found in the built-in example browser (also done in Glamour): GLMBasicExamples open Regarding your first question, the current way to integrate a Workspace is by using something like: ... a text forSmalltalk.

Questions about Glamour

by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas

Hi all, Following with my idea of Tree like workspace I have started to see Glamour to find my way to the problem. After trying to install it on Pharo and getting some error message I tried the preinstalled version of Moose and followed the Moose Book example[1]. It worked well, and I like the flexibility of glamour to define browsers, but you loose some of the most important characteristic in the Workspace is interactivity (auto-completion, syntax highlighting and so on) So I have some questions: [1] http://www.themoosebook.org/book/internals/glamour/glimpse * Â¿There is any way to make the details panel contain a Workspace?. * When I try the first example in the Bunge's Thesis tutorial: browser := TableLayoutBrowser new. I don't get full autocompletion on TableLayoutBrowser only until TableLayout. This is because this Class is not supported on Moose Glamour, another reason or Am I misunderstanding something else? Cheers, Offray

Re: [Pharo-users] [PBE-Spanish] Status update 2011-08-03

by NicolÃ¡s Paez

We hope to have it before Smalltalks 2011. The revision is not easy because Spanish language is spoken in many countries and this makes the languages to have variations. At the same time, in the translation process there were people from at least 4 different countries (Argentina, Chile, Spain and Venezuela) and we need to ensure the book to be consistent. The point here is that to ensure consistency we need to read the whole book. Regards, NicoPaez Saludos!
