PRDocuments

I am still struggling to work PRDocuments.... I have a layout, I put a
PRDocument in it...

and the code....

document
^ self documentOf: self context structure

returns the structure of the PRDocument....

surely it should be

^ self documentOf: (PRCurrentContext value structure)

That should be exactly the same.

Re: PRDocuments

I think Keith is talking about the document widget, the source code he
shows is implemented in PRDocumentWidget part of the Pier-Documents
package. This widget, when added to the environment, provides the
possibility to have different wiki editors at different places on a
single page. This is useful if you for example want to have a sidebar
with links or additional information.

The PRDocument hierarchy is an part of Pier-Model. It provides an
abstract model of the wiki text and can be traversed to a page as
HTML, Wiki, Plain Text, LaTeX, etc. Normally a Ppage has just one
document, however the PRDocumentWidget allows you to define multiple
documents on a single page.

Excellent explanation!!! I was thinking in another thing. Perhaps it is a good idea to add this to "Glossary of terms" of Pier Documentation.

Thanks a lot.

New menu links

In reply to this post by Mariano Martinez Peck

I saw a comment about PRMenuWidget being deprecated in favour of

+page|menu+

Are there any further instructions? Is it supposed to be *page|menu* ?

I misunderstood, I thought that you put |menu on the links, but it goes
on the place you embed the entire page

Re: New menu links

I am not sure if a misunderstanding is still there, so I will throw in
my two cents of explanations.

Basically PRMenuWidget behaves like a normal page only that it has
this special highlighting. So, now instead of requiring a special page
for this, we allow any page to behave like a menu through the extra "|
menu" parameter.

Cheers,
Doru

Normally that cache should be updated through #onChangeContext: by
PRPierFrame>>#update, but of course if there is something wrong in the
#children chain of the PRDocumentWidget then this might not happen. Is
your PRDocumentWidget directly part of the environment, or do you have
something more complicated?

I do, but I dont think it would effect the children.

Lukas, thanks for your help and insight...

It's behaving itself now.

Lots has changed, so I am not sure how to put my finger on what exactly
it was that fixed it.
