WAFileLibrary and non-alphanumerics

In case anyone else comes across a case where filenames include
non-alphanumeric characters like dashes and underscores, you'll notice they get stripped by default, which won't work very well with your style-sheets. I'd made the following three changes in my subclass of it, sacrificing readability a bit, but it's not like I ever look at selectors there anyway. (class) asSelector: aFilename ^('hex' , aFilename asByteArray asHexString) asSymbol. isFileSelector: aSymbol ^aSymbol startsWith: 'hex'. asFilename: aSelector ^(ByteArray fromHexString: (aSelector copyFrom: 4 to: aSelector size)) asString.

Mind you the whole class versus instance there seems a little arbitrary, we should just move it all one way it seems. _______________________________________________ seaside mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |

One thing to keep in mind is that file library is not and never was supposed to be fully fledged or intended for production use. It's merely for cases where you would want to have the Scriptaculous examples work without an internet connection.

That most certainly depends on what "use" substitutes. In my case, I
just like to keep all external resources (gif/js/css/swf/xml) in the source; it just makes team development much easier. But I do use external editors during development, the stuff merely gets sucked into multiple subclasses each representing subdirectory and then get cached by the fronting server on a per-need basis from the basic responder in the image. The alternative to the last step is to dump them to a web server during deployment, which we used to do previously. -Boris -- +1.604.689.0322 DeepCove Labs Ltd. 4th floor 595 Howe Street Vancouver, Canada V6C 2T5 http://tinyurl.com/r7uw4 [hidden email] CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This email is intended only for the persons named in the message header.

I must confess it is very temptating to use file library in this way. Is this a common pattern, do other people do this too?

Well, supposedly it does by attaching files to packages, but I am
personally quite comfortable with this approach because I'm much more inclined to stick with classes, instances and messages myself than use some arbitrary SCM API, http://c2.com/xp/DoTheSimplestThingThatCouldPossiblyWork.html :) -Boris -- +1.604.689.0322 DeepCove Labs Ltd. 4th floor 595 Howe Street Vancouver, Canada V6C 2T5 http://tinyurl.com/r7uw4 [hidden email] CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This email is intended only for the persons named in the message header.

I do essentially the same thing for OB-Web, though it's not based on Seaside. That's a slightly different case, I suppose, in that you really want CSS and Javascript the IDE to be served directly from the image; it's silly to require an external web server just to browse some classes. I've adapted Lukas' FTP server so they can be modified with an external text editor, which makes the whole thing very convenient. Yeah, it's a hack, but the end result is probably better than a "real" solution would be.
