URL resolver and registering root objects

Dear all,

Because of many problems with this registration let me write down few
steps how to diagnose and solve the problem

1. site named 'aidademo' exist?

   - inspect (AIDSite named: 'aidademo'), it should return anAIDASite,
   - if not, inspect SwazooServer singleton sites and instvar #name for
     each site

2.on current Scribo one-click demo the site is named 'scribo' and when
you do SwazooAida demoStart, another site 'aidademo' is created, with a
host:ip:port combination, which clashes with 'scribo' one. To solve the
confusion:

   - inspect (AIDASite named: 'scribo') uriPattern first
   - change port to 8889
   - doit SwazooServer stop; start

Now you are running two sites at once, http://localhost:8888 for
aidademo and http://localhost:8889 for scribo

3. if above is correct, you should register root object without a problem:

   (AIDASite named: 'aidademo') urlResolver
        registerURL: '/url.html' forObject: myObject

Be sure of course that myObject is not nil!

Best regards
Janko

Ops, that's wrong, sorry! Right one is defaultURL:forObject:

     (AIDASite named: 'aidademo') urlResolver
        defaultURL: '/url.html' forObject: myObject


Default URL is there because one object can have more than one URL but
only one is a default one, which is the URL to be be used in apps when
you link to that object with #addLinkTo: .

Best regards
Janko

We will clean this mess with site names in the next Scribo beta. For now
sorry to everyone have those problems.

This sounds interesting. Yes please report your progress and all
troubles you will have, to help improving both Aida and docs.

You are very welcome. Also we can open an account on our website so that
you can improve docs in place.

Aidaist, Aider, good question, which title is better :)


Best regards

Hi Janko,

JM> Aidaist, Aider, good question, which title is better :)
at least for you "Aider" is the correct title to use as you help us a
lot. This is valid for others too.

I got a big grin when I read "Aider" with my wrong pronunciation
(think kitchen-aid :-)) but I feel it would help Aida, if the
community members could proudly call themselves "Aiders".


Cheers,

Herbert                            mailto:[hidden email]

Hi Giuseppe,


GLPR> Why not WUAERS.....We Use Aida..ers... :D

GLPR> Ok, I need to left drugs :D
this is great :-)) I would need some serious drinking to come up with
something equivalent. And in that state, when I can't pronounce
Aiders anymore, WUAERS comes out completely natural in German :-))


Cheers (see :-)
