WAPlugin for manage MADescription priority

Hi,

i'm interested to display and change the priority of MADescription components when the browser display Halos.

For example i have a class with descriptionA, descriptionB.

For display the priority i change the WAClassnameHaloPlugin renderOn: method.

For change i create the WAPriorityHaloPlugin.

In the relative execute method i test if component is anMAComponent : self target description respondTo: #priority .

If yes i,m interested to open the Browser or WABrowser on the relative descriptionA.

The first question is: how i can define the name of descriptionA from anObject with magritte structure ?

into execute context of WAPriorityHaloPlugin i see aObject with memento, description, accessor ..... but i d'ont found link to the relative generating descriptionA.

The second question is: after change the descriptionA with the WABrowser and return to the halo browser how i can update the view to reflect the change ?

i have do some test but for now ti need to close and reopen the view.

Thanks for any considerations.

Dario

Given that aObject's description is a container you can iterate through the contained descriptions looking for a match on the selector of the description.
aObject description detect: [ :each | each accessor selector = #theSelectorIWant ]

The second question is: after change the descriptionA with the WABrowser and return to the halo browser how i can update the view to reflect the change ?

Descriptions are cached so sending #flush to MANamedBuilder default forces the (container) descriptions to be rebuilt with the modified descripitons. I dont know if that will work well in your situation.

Best of luck with it
John

aObject description detect: [ :each | each accessor selector = #theSelectorIWant ]

The problem is: at this level i d'ont understand the description name ( descriptionA )relative to the magritte component.

Any magritte component ( create with descriptionA descriptionB descriptionX relative to one class ) when rendering with halo view, is display with the relative WAPriorityHaloPlugin anchor.

Now assume to click on anchor relative to component create with descriptionA i go into relative 'execute' context of WAPriorityHaloPlugin where i found a specific aObject with memento, description, accessor,

but i d'ont found, a this level, any link to the original descriptionA.

I can add property to the descriptionA define method:

descriptionA

^(MABooleanDescription new) autoAccessor: #attivo; checkboxLabel: 'Account attivo'; label: 'Attivo'; priority: 4030;

propertyAt: #descriptionName put: #'descriptionA';

.........

but with this solution i need to change all the descriptions.

The second question is: after change the descriptionA with the WABrowser and return to the halo browser how i can update the view to reflect the change ?

I do MANamedBuilder default flush but not work ( the view is rendering with no change ).

I need to close and reopen the view.

I can flush the cache relative to one specific class ?

Maybe extend MADescription with #descriptionName that returns a reasonable default?
^self propertyAt: #descriptionName ifAbsent: [ 'Description for ' , self label ]

I was afraid that would be the case, but once you change the priorities it would have to rebuild the container component no? I am not really that familiar with the halo/plugin stuff....maybe senders of the open: method might provide some clues

I can flush the cache relative to one specific class ?

Book navigation rendering issue report

In reply to this post by dtrussardi@tiscali.it

Hi,

After having upgraded to the latest Seaside 3 and Pier 2 packages, I
encounter a minor issue that could be regenerated as follows:
1) Evaluate in a workspace "PRBookDistribution new register"
2) Point to http://localhost:8080/pier/book/table-of-contents

The navigation arrows are not rendered anymore. Instead, appear their
textual encoding (&rarr and &larr). It is the same for non-breaking
space that appears as &nbsp (See for example
http://localhost:8080/pier/book), as well as other codifications like &sect.

Otherwise, I was wondering if in:
BOLatexWriter >> convertHtmlEntities:

the following:
copyReplaceAll: '→' with: '<-'

shouldn't be rather:
copyReplaceAll: '→' with: '->'

Cheers,
Reza

Re: WAPlugin for manage MADescription priority

In reply to this post by John McKeon

Hi,

i do some test but i d'ont found the solution.

I think one possible solution can is to set an specific property when i the system instance one new Description.

descriptionDescrizione

^(MAStringDescription new)

autoAccessor: 'descrizione';

label: 'Descrizione';

priority: 1110;

comment: 'Descrizione';

beRequired...

The ^(MAStringDescription new) create a new instance and i can intercept it with MAObject initialize method.

MAObject initialize

super initialize.

self propertyAt: #descriptionMessage put: ????

Question: it's possible into MAObject initialize method define the "caller" method ? ( in this case : descriptionDescrizione ).

I need create new: method

descriptionDescrizione

^(MAStringDescription new: descriptionDescrizione)

autoAccessor: 'descrizione';

label: 'Descrizione';

priority: 1110;

comment: 'Descrizione';

beRequired...

Question: i can in the descriptionDescrizione method manage the reference to method name ?

descriptionDescrizione

^(MAStringDescription new: ' a this level define automatic reference to the method name ' )

........

Thank,

Dario
