Re: [Pharo-users] startUp Application

[Hilaire]

Hi Pablo,

Concerning the World menu you first define your menu in a method, and
tag it with a dedicated pragma, for example in Dr. Geo I wrote:

worldMenu: aBuilder

(aBuilder item: 'New' translated)
action: [DrGeo newFullScreen];
icon: ThemeIcons current smallNewIcon;
order: 0.
(aBuilder item: 'Open' translated)
action: [DrGeo openFigureThumbnail: nil];
icon: ThemeIcons current smallOpenIcon;
order: 1.
(aBuilder item: 'Quit' translated) action: [DrGeo quit]; order: 999


Then you register this as your new world menu using the pragma name:

WorldState desktopMenuPragmaKeyword:  'drgeoMenu'.

Re: [Pharo-users] Which is the best way of opening a PDF and HTML local files from Pharo

[Alistair Grant]

Hi Offray,

Which version of Pharo are you running?  My understanding is that
Pharo5 & 6 use OSSubprocess, not OSProcess.

I'm using xdg-open to open pdf files on linux (Arch):

| proc |

proc := OSSUnixSubprocess new.
proc
command: 'xdg-open';
arguments: (Array with: url).
proc run.
UIManager inform: 'Opened: ', url.

url is the path to the file in this case.

You can check the exit status with:

proc exitStatusInterpreter

e.g.:

proc exitStatusInterpreter isSuccess

Cheers,
Alistair

Yes that worked for me too.

I then had to load my own project using the same API, so not:

ConfigurationOfBetaNineT3 project bleedingEdge load: 'trackit'.

But:

Metacello new
configuration: 'BetaNineT3';
version: #bleedingEdge;   
load: 'trackit'.

This then loaded Bootstrap as needed (with Seaside already present).

Here is how I quickly patched the control panel:

WAPharoServerAdapterSpecBrowser>>#initializeWidgets

self instantiateModels: #(
listModel ListModel
textModel TextModel
toolbarModel WAServerAdapterToolbar).

WAPharoServerAdapterSpecBrowser>>initializePresenter

self initializeAdaptors.

textModel aboutToStyle: false.

listModel 
whenSelectedItemChanged: [ :selection | adaptor := selection. 
self updateUIState];
whenListChanged: [ self updateUIState];
displayBlock: [ :item | (item class name,' ',item statusString) 
asStringMorph ];
"icons: [ :item | self iconForAdaptor: item];
iconMaxSize: 16@16;"
menu: [ :aMenu | self adaptorsMenu: aMenu].

self focusOrder
add: listModel;
add: toolbarModel;
add: textModel.

self disableAllButtons

So I replaced NewListModel with ListModel and I commented out the icon related 
stuff. This might be a bit too quick, I don't know.

Re: [Pharo-users] Which is the best way of opening a PDF and HTML local files from Pharo

[Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas]

Thanks Hilaire.

I was thinking in something that depend on OSProcess and invoke xdg-open 
on Linux, for example, but is not working neither.


OSProcess command: 'xdg-open ', pdfPathString

doesn't open the PDF file :-/.

Re: [Pharo-users] Which is the best way of opening a PDF and HTML local files from Pharo

[Hilaire]

Hi Offray,

You may want to do it with a hierarchy of classes, one for each host, to
handle concretely the PDF and HTML OS viewer you want to use, and
another class to handle it uniformly.

For example MyOperation>>openPdf: aFile
then it will delegate to LinuxOperation/WindowsOperation/MacOperation
depending on the host running the VM.

That way you could add up more operation when needed.

But likely there is already something like that in the system but I
can't see.

presentations and hacking/discussions sessions

and a great social event.

https://medium.com/concerning-pharo/pharo-days-2016-c52fe4d7caf#.mqurj6rvi

So reserve the dates.

[Pharo-users] [Pillar] Free beginners guide to Latex

[Dimitris Chloupis]

Pillar is the official documentation system of Pharo. It uses syntax
similar to markdown which make it simple and easy to learn. However Pillars
power and flexibility goes far beyond that because it leverages Latex ,
epecially for generating PDFs ( every PDF you have seen read for Pharo uses
Latex and Pillar, except a few that use only Latex) or using advanced
features like math notations , more precise image locations etc.

However can be tricky to learn, Packt publishing is a website that sells
online ebooks and videos , they also offer a free ebook each day. Today
they offer a free beginner guide for Latex. Offer expires in 9 hours and 45
minutes, so get it now that is free.
