Possibly dumb question - Seaside Blog package

Hi all:

At the risk of wasting a lot of .st guru time: I'm interested in reviving the SeasideBlog package from Squeaksource that was last worked on back in 2006, and after spending a good part of the day on it today, I'm finding that Seaside 3.x seems to have left it behind, particularly in terms of handling configuration. It seems to me that this blog is pretty sophisticated, supporting Ajax, comments, etc. but it looks to me that there are a lot of characteristics of the Seaside implementation that it relied upon that have shifted out from under it.

As I'm a relative noob to Smalltalk and an even bigger noob w.r.t. Seaside, I wonder if anyone could offer me any advice as to whether porting this package forward to current-day Seaside is a reasonable quest or not?

Thanks,

Re: Possibly dumb question - Seaside Blog package

Hi Larry,

I don't know that code specifically, but in *general* bringing an
application from Seaside 2.8 (even 2.6?) to 3.0 should not be too
difficult. The way configurations work have definitely changed, though
it shouldn't be hard to map to the new method.

This link might be a little helpful if you haven't seen it:

Yes, a lot of things changed in the past 5 years. The changes since
Seaside 2.6 are summarized here:

I don't exacly remember the details of the blog implementation you are
talking about. I think it was designed as an example application a
long time ago. As for an up-to-date Seaside based blog implementation
there is the blog plugin in Pier.

I updated that package to work with Seaside 3.0 and pharo 1.1 in
November and uploaded it to the squeaksource repository a few minutes
ago. Sorry I didn't upload it earlier and save you some time.

Using Pier and its Blog plugin is an excellent option because it is sure
to be updated along with Seaside and Pharo.

I made the port to see what this package did and to try to have a blog
that I could embed in a site that wasn't using Pier. It works OK for
that purpose.

Thanks Paul! When you did the conversion, do your recall how much effort/time it was?

Cheers,
