Hi
I was browsing through the draft chapter for Pharo By Example describing the Omnibrowser architecture (https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/27418/Omnibrowser.pdf). One of the screenshots (Figure 1.5 in the PDF) shows a browser with Back, Forward and History Buttons i.e. navigation history features.
There are several browser for Pharo. PharoCore uses one, and in PharoDev we are using Omnibrowser, a.k.a OB. There is ANOTHER browser called O2
That "history feature" is part of O2, not OB. O2 used to load in Pharo (indeed, it was the defaul at the very beginning of Pharo 1.0). But nowadays, its developr nor nobody maintain it, so it doesn't load/works correctly in Pharo 1.2 anymore.
My specific questions:
1) What happened to this version of the browser? Is it possible to load the navigation history feature into the latest version of Pharo? I am currently using Pharo 1.2
No. You need to update O2 and make it work in Pharo 1.2 or try to add such feature to OB.
Thanks Mariano! The brief description of the different browsers was helpful. Because of your mentioning of the term "O2", I managed to find the O2 repository (http://www.squeaksource.com/O2) and load the latest version using Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfO2'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfO2) perform: #loadDefault David Roethlisberger made some changes on April 13 2011 that seems to make it work with Pharo (after I fixed the #MNU of the Preferences class). There are still some things missing like the Mercury Panel and some possible incompatibilities with Pharo-1.2 but at least it loads. I'll try to fix those problems and update it to work with Pharo-1.2. Thanks! -- Nick -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Code-Navigation-Navigation-History-in-System-Browser-t...
