New Pier User

Hello fellows,

I would like to ask you if there is any documentation on creating new addons for the pier systems, apart from the code.

Also if there is documentation for the already existant addons, for all the addons.

Is the list http://source.lukas-renggli.ch/pieraddons/ complete or are there more?

If there is no documentation what are the differences in creating components for pier than for a general seaside web site.

Do i have to learn magritte?

Not much. Most documentation is linked from the website
<http://www.piercms.com/>. Also some people (including myself) wrote
blog posts on extending Pier.

This is a code repository, there are many other extensions if you
search on www.squeaksource.com.

Any Seaside component is a Pier component and can be directly plugged
into a Pier site. However, if you want your Seaside component be able
to interact and reflect on Pier it needs to know about Pier, for
example by subclassing PRWidget which is a subclass of WAComponent
with some added functionality. This is the only difference.

Not necessarily, but it will make your life much simpler.
