Lost (key parts of) my halos

Sophie424
Yesterday my halos were working fine (including the incredible inspector and
other tools).

Today I don't see get the tool icons (inspector etc.) on the halos. I still
see the rest of the halos, the bounding boxes around the components, the R
and S links, but no icons. The source includes the <img...> tags, but the
images themselves don't show up (IE shows a placeholder box, Firefox shows
nothing).

I must have tweaked something wrong; my guess is the "Configure" screen,
when I messed around with the "Base Path" field without quite knowing what I
was doing.

Any suggestions where I might try to recover?

Thanks!

Base path sounds like a good guess, just restore the default base path of
/seaside/appName and see it that fixes it.

Thanks. I tried that, didn't work :-(

I even tried unzipping a fresh copy of the seaside 2.6 image and starting up
squeak on that image, no luck.

Groping around a bit like a blind man right now ... (everything else still
works, including seaside apps!)

Any help appreciated. Thanks

If you're new to Smalltalk, one big tip is to always keep a fresh image
lying around so you can start over easily anytime you hose an image,
which'll happen quite often at first, till you learn how to take care of
one.

Re: Lost halo tool icons: Works in 2.5, lost in 2.6

Thanks Ramon. I would certainly like to learn very quickly about this. Do
you mean just keeping a single image file (like Squeak3.8-6665full.image)
aside as a read-only copy, and start over with it when absolutely necessary?

I did a bunch of re-installs (brute force) and am pretty sure I am in a
pristine state.

When I run squeak and load up the Squeak 2.5 package, the halo tools are
back (yay!).

When I run the Seaside2.6.image the halo tools disappear.

Could someone else with Seaside2.6 check if it works OK for them? I am on
XP, in case that is relevant (I sure hope not).

Thanks!

Yes, setup a clean image, then do a saveAs from the world menu, and use it
from there.  When you screw up an image, just reopen the clean one, do
another saveAs and continue from there.  As you learn what destroys an
image, you'll learn to avoid this and need to do it much less, if at all.
With great power, comes great responsibility, and Smalltalk will happily let
you blow your foot off if that's what you ask it to do.

Oh, and btw, a quick way to setup a clean Seaside image, is to install the
Magritte package from SqueakMap, it'll load the latest Seaside and all it's
dependencies for you totally hands off, you can thank Lucas for that.
