News Page

Hi,

Just in case it’s not known … the News page is so long, it grinds my admittedly not so new PC to a halt. Win XP with 1G mem using latest firefox.

Could the page be partitioned in some way …

Cheers

Re: News Page

Thanks Jon

For us this is an excellent news :)

We plan to migrate soon and rethink it.

Yes, and we need an intermediate solution… just partitioning the page somehow.

I put it on my TODO.

Re: News Page

But what if Pharo developers loaded the Curl plugin into their browser ? Curl has great dynamic loading for such situations ( as needed by my old 1 CPU core Wind'd XP laptop ;-)

{pharoNewsLine {urlBase {www www.curl.com}} {topic "markup that JSON folks should love"} {whatever } } || humour

Curl RTE ... for when HTML + JavaScript + CSS is just a needless pain - (and when a markup dialect is just smarter ;-)

cheers

But the news page is more for external people. And it’s just too long. The solution is to a) workaround: make is smaller b) move to a better blog for the news.

Re: News Page

I hope that someone will develop pagination feature in future. We cal also use smaller font (just kidding). Maybe for now new news will stay there and old ones can be moved to the other page called archive? Or we sonly show titles for older news.

Cheers.

" humour from Canada on ice" " Lcurlr class comment "

Pharo Smalltalk remains just the best way to generate dynamic Curl markup via Seaside3 or Aida ... although nunjucks with node.js is fine for text-edit dev server-side, I guess ... or Wicket on java if need be ... there are SO few frameworks loosely bound to web markup choice ...

but since Curl runs in most any browser or on most any OS ... If only KOBO had chosen Curl for e-book markup after their acquisition by Rakuten ! ... Well, there's always Ottawa QNX at Blackberry while they are still Canadian ...

AND having NEVER given up on Smalltalk, I am not likely to give up on Curl ! Now back to OS/2 1.3 on my 3dfx i386 with the i387 co-pro ... but where is that Betamax video on using DBX 2 with Quadraphonic 8-track conversions ? ... Ah, here with my hi-fi (Canadian) Pacific Microsonic HDCD's ... crushed between my killer Samsung and Toshiba Nuon programmable DVD players ... with my unusable Version 2 iTouch and complete with its final upgrade to iOS 3.0 !!! Wadda dinosaur find that is ! But at least the i3 App's have no pending updates in the PommeMag ! Now where is that serial joystick cable ? Oh ... hidden under "Rebol For Dummies"

DONE (by the support of CmsBox… thanks!)

The news site now shows 5 items (with a navigator at the bottom)
