Transmit data from a custom presentation

Hello,

Usman and I use glamour a lot to quickly create cool browsers.

To capitalize some recurrent parts of our browsers, we create subclasses to GLMCompositePresentation and then use it that way:

browser := GLMTabulator withStatusbar.

...structure definition...

browser transmit to: #selector; andShow: [ :a | a custom: (MyCustomPresentation new)].

 

then we just have to implement the #compose method and everything is fine.

But now i have to transmit data to something else (I want to create a filter that will receive a collection of entities and transmit only a subset of it to another presentation)

I am using some morphs in this custom presentation and on some events I send:

(self pane port: #filtered) value: self filter

In my browser i have a transmission like this: 

browser transmit from: #selector port: #filtered; to: #graph; andShow: [ :a | a list display: [ :list | list ] ]. 

It doesn't work because the pane obtained in my custom presentation is not the one defined in my browser but another one named 'root'.

Maybe i am not using it in the right way but i don't see another way to do it correctly (I would like to avoid to set the right pane in my presentation).

Thanks in advance for your help.

PS: I tried to look in the MooseBook but the server is down

Hi,

Do you have somewhere an entire example that shows the problem?

I tried the examples below and it worked as expected. There could be other issues related to composite presentations.

Are you using tabulators in your custom composite presentations?

browser := GLMTabulator withStatusbar.

browser 

row: #selector; 

row: #graph.

browser transmit to: #selector; andShow: [ :a | 

a list

act: [ :presentation | (presentation pane port: #filtered) value: 10 ] 

 entitled: 'populate' ].

browser transmit 

from: #selector port: #filtered; 

to: #graph; 

andShow: [ :a | 

a text display: [ :x | x ] ].

browser openOn: (1to:9)

browser := GLMTabulator withStatusbar.

innerBrowser := GLMTabulator new.

innerBrowser row: #r1.

innerBrowser transmit to: #r1; andShow: [ :a | 

a list

act: [ :presentation | (presentation pane port: #filtered) value: 10 ] 

 entitled: 'populate' ].

innerBrowser transmit from:#r1 port:#filtered; toOutsidePort: #filtered.

browser 

row: #selector; 

row: #graph.

browser transmit to: #selector; andShow: [ :a | 

a custom: innerBrowser ].

browser transmit 

from: #selector port: #filtered; 

to: #graph; 

andShow: [ :a | 

a text display: [ :x | x ] ].

browser openOn: (1to:9)

Using (morphPresentation pane port: 'filtered') or (aPresentation pane port: 'filtered') instead of (self pane port: 'filtered')  should give you the desired behavior.

Not sure exactly why using self does not work, but is surely has to do something with the the fact that glamour copies presentations a lot.

Cheers,

Andrei
