asFilename does not work?

Hi:

 

I am at a crucial stage of my app development and got stuck at this point. I am trying to change my page header by importing my image into the Imaging method as given in the FAQs: 

 

NewsPortalWebStyle new importImage: 'aidaBannerGif' from:  'd:\capslogo.gif'

 

(a small error in the tutorial: it says, "import:from:", shouldn't it be: "importImage:from:" ?)

 

However, "asFilename" doesn't seem to be working. I downloaded Swazoo 2.2Beta1 and tried but with no success.

 

am I doing the right thing?

Hi:

I solved this for the time being by saving my header "logo" in './img/' folder. My immediate problem is solved but still like to understand why asFilename did not work.

 

Thanks in advance and request all to tolerate me a little more till I get the basics right.

 

regards.

Hi Prashanth,

Use SpFilename named: 'my.file' instead of 'my.file' asFilename.

Former is a portable implementation of file support based on Sport
portability library, while later works on VisualWorks, not on Squeak.

So you registered an Url of your ANewsPortal and it now open in web
browser without a problem? If so, then everything is ok. Try to inspect
(AIDASite named: 'aidademo') urlResolver and its instvars #allWebPages
and #allURLLinks to see, what you actually registered.

Your model is almost a replica of that from Aida tutorial, so you should
made it working without a problem if you followed and understood the
tutorial well. So, in ANewsApp implement the same view methods as they
are in ADemoAddressApp.

addLinkTo: aDomainObject will make an Url link automatically if not done
and registered in urlResolver before yet. So, for a link to a root
object (which you should register at the start) it will use already
registered one, while for all new objects (like new news in your case)
Urls will be  created and registered at the time you call addLinkTo: .
And as in tutorial, you can control the look of the generated Url by
#preferedUrl methon in your domain objects.
