What did seaside use for templates before it switched to programmatic html generation?
I'm trying to find template engines that we could use in our application for areas where backend users need to be able insert small amount of text into the programmatically created html. the text that the insert needs some basic templating ability and i'd prefer to not roll our own. Pointers to any smalltalk templating solutions would also be appreciated. _______________________________________________ seaside mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |

It had it's own which came out of the template system used in Iowa,
which itself came out of the system in WebObject. You basically added a special "object-id" attribute to tags to mark them as dynamic and then could configure "bindings" to change the value, callback, etc. There was also a format that used lisp-like s-expressions instead of html tags. You can see a few examples in my ESUG presentation from last year: http://vst.ensm-douai.fr/Esug2008Media/uploads/1/ESUG_2008_-_Seaside_Evolution.pdf It's probably not what you're looking for, though...

I put my templates into pier pages for the administrators to edit, and use this to fill in the template. expand: string mergeUsing: dataSource | split | string ifNil: [ ^'' ]. dataSource ifNil: [ ^ string ]. split := string splitOn: '%'. split size < 3 ifTrue: [ ^ string ]. split withIndexDo: [ :each :n | n even ifTrue: [ | result | result := (each splitOn: ':') inject: dataSource into: [ :data :accessor | [ data perform: accessor asSymbol ] ifError: [ '%', each, '%' ] ]. split at: n put: result. ] ]. ^ (split joinUsing: '') best regards Keith _______________________________________________ seaside mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |

In the past the topic was discussed several times. Some people have
implemented templating systems for Seaside, but as far as I know none of them has ever taken off and gained wide adoption.

Mmm, not a reply to this but given Keith's post I also wrote SimpleMacro: http://map.squeak.org/packagebyname/SimpleMacro ...which also can do ASP-ish expansion, but with more features :) regards, Göran _______________________________________________ seaside mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |

Erm... I thought we had old versions of the code somewhere but I can't seem to find them. I think I have an archive somewhere in a box... I'll see if I can dig it out and post on seaside.st or something.

I'm trying something a little strange here, and my logic is really quite flawed:
someWATask go >> self call: WAComponentA WAComponentA renderContentOn: >> html render: WAComponentB children >> ^Array with: WAComponentB WAComponentB answer >> self answer: 'blah' I would like for WAComponentB to answer someWATask in place of WAComponentA, is there a way to do this?

Hi Robert,
I know this problem very well. One way could be, to pass a reference of WAComponentA to WAComponentB. You could probably create an instance variable called rootComponent After you initialized WAComponentB, you give it the reference from within WAComponentA, e.g.: WAComponentA renderContentOn:html |component| component := (WAComponentB new) rootComponent: self. html render: component. And within WAComponentB: answer >> self rootComponent answer: 'blah' I hope this helps. Regards, Peter 2009/10/15 Robert Sirois <[hidden email]>

I would prefer something like
ComponentA>>renderContentOn: html | component | component := ComponentB new onAnswer: [ :answerB | self answer: answerB
]. html render: component. since it does not need a reference to the root component (~decoupling). On Thu, Oct 15, 2009 at 7:25 PM, Robert Sirois <[hidden email]> wrote:

If you had a lot of "component Bs" would it be faster to just pass it component A? Or will this second method always be faster?

Is there a way to use jQuery, Prototype, and Scriptaculous in conjunction with each other?

This will recreate ComponentB on every refresh and thus break any stateful behavior. Otherwise the code would work.

> with each other? Yes, but unless large amounts of legacy code forces you to do so, I suggest to avoid it. The Prototype and jQuery Javascript libraries basically conflict with each other and thus special precaution has to be taken. I suggest that you closely follow the jQuery-nonConflict mode as described in the following document: http://docs.jquery.com/Using_jQuery_with_Other_Libraries See the Seaside method comment of JQuery class>>#functionName: for additional information.
