What has lightbox: been replaced with?

Hi - I was refreshing my memory on seaside (hence previous questions) - and there are a few decent tutorials still kicking around (and possibly we could convince people to update them).

I remembered that the PotsDam one was pretty good in the day - so was following that - and loaded up the tutorial code in Pharo 6.1 (and it mostly runs - but there are a few things that aren’t quite right).

However, one thing that has changed a lot (I think) is the use of scriptaculous and Jquery - is the former now deprecated? As in the tutorial they have a component that does: self lightbox: <aComponent>

I can’t find any reference to lightbox in the image apart from a test that creates a jQuery dialog box - can I easily recreate the #lightbox: method using this?

I can see how you can render a jQuery new dialog - but you need a canvas to render on, and it seems that this old method must have done something with tasks - does anyone remember how this used to work (it seems a good learning for me in fixing this anyway).

Scriptaculous is used less often than jQuery but isn't deprecated AFAIK.

See: https://github.com/SeasideSt/Seaside/issues/863 for an example of
recent efforts to keep it working.

Maybe you don't have the scriptaculous packages loaded in your image?

If you run

ConfigurationOfSeaside3 project stableVersion load: 'Scriptaculous'

Does that fix it?

Re: What has lightbox: been replaced with?

Thanks Paul - that was exactly it - I had loaded seaside via willow and it hadn’t loaded it all in … now I can hopefully follow the tutorial and learn a bit more.

Well… we are pragmatic in the sense that we should not break things needlessly.

But other than that, scriptaculous was already on the way out of web development when Seaside 3.0 was released over 9 years ago.

I would recommend to use jQuery and use the jQuery bindings for Seaside to accomplish stuff.

Unfortunately, the best tutorial for jQuery in Seaside is the presentation of Lukas at ESUG 2009 in Brest.

I attached it to this email.

Hi Tim

MaterialDesignLite has a modal demo:

TwitterBootstrap has one

You can view the Zurb modals here: https://foundation.zurb.com/sites/docs/reveal.html

H Tim,

If you use the bootstrap support in Willow you have a dialogBuilder providing the bootstrap modal support.
