Re: [Pws] Building ComSwiki from Source, Squeak 3.8 OK?

You could try setting up at 3.7 version and then upgrading it to 3.8 through the regular update stream. Is there any particular reason you need 3.8? Whenever I send out a major upgrade, I try to make it work with the latest stable Squeak, but that isn't always trivial. Squeak evolves in a way that isn't great at being backwards compatible. The last time, it took me about 6 months to figure out some of the incompatibilities (granted, that was for a new version of Comanche as well). Peace and Luck!

[Pws] Swiki Road Map
[NOTE: This post is not a criticism! I love Swiki and I use several instances everyday!] Is there a Road Map for where the Swiki is headed? I'm interested in the target date for the next release and the features likely to be available in the next release. Also, I'd be interested in possibly participating in development (though I don't find myself with much free time in the near term.) Is Swiki development likely to move to a sourceforge-like environment?

[Pws] Settings button no longer works on admin page
I can no longer access the Settings button from the admin page. It used to work, but it doesn't any more. When I click on it now, The page cannot be displayed is reported by IE (though the correct URL shows up in the browser status bar (e.g., http://sofdev.sri.com:8080/admin/settings?book=myswiki). Similar behavior is seen using Netscape and Mozilla. I need to manually edit the settings.xml files and restart if I want to change anything. I can still create a new Swiki, but also I need to manually create and edit the settings.xml. This is on Solaris with Comanche 5.0 / Swiki 1.3. Anyone else seen this?

Re: [Pws] how to restore a backed up Swiki?
Hi Tim, Did you ftp these files in ASCII mode by any chance? That can goof things up. Good Luck, Mark Tim Born wrote: Here's more data on a Swiki restore that doesn't work. I restored Swiki from the day before the crash to a /tmp location. Made sure the swiki service was not running. Started swiki on the newly restored directory. When I attempt to connect to one of the Swiki webs on this instance, I see the following: The requested URL (http://redwest.ih.lucent.com:8000/Swiki3) was not found on this server. Click here http://redwest.ih.lucent.com:8000/ to get a list of swikis on this site. If I connect to the base address (port 8000 on this server) it shows the following: Swikis on this Site * Swiki1 (51): a *refs* swiki * refs http://redwest.ih.lucent.com:8000/refs (14): a *refs* swiki * Swiki2 (17): a *refs* swiki There are several Swiki webs missing from this list. The directory structure is there, and as near as I can tell doesn't look any different between the Swikis that are listed and the Swikis that are not listed. If I follow the link to any of these Swiki webs, I get garbage like this: Swiki2 Swiki 002 Planning * Error: this should not happen * Error: this should not happen I do not understand how the indexing works. Is the linking entirely derived from the files directories when Swiki starts up, or is there something in the Smalltalk image that holds the indexing information? I've tried going further back in time to other backups with no better luck. I'm open for suggestions folks. I wish things were as simple as you all describe, but that's just not what I'm seeing at this end. -tim Jochen F. Rick wrote: I don't know why people are having problems with back-ups. The only thing you should need to do is move the backed-up swiki directory into the old location. If you want more advice, you will have to be much more concrete about the problem. Is there an error that happens? What exactly does your back-up feature do? I'd like to be more help here, put I can't. As far as deleting pages, YOU CAN'T.

Re: [Pws] how to restore a backed up Swiki?
I'm not sure that will work. But as Je77 said, you can: 1) Change the name of the bad page 2) Delete (or move) all the content from the bad page 3) Delete )or change) all references to the bad page The page is now effectively gone, and almost zero size on disk. #1 (name changing) is kinda cool. Do it in edit mode for the page. It is automagical. :-) :-) MJ Kevin Rocap wrote: Dear friends, What if you go into a specific Swiki directory and simply delete the file associated with a page.

Re: [pws] Settings contain no data--admin page
I ended up doing this, and it worked. However, the Unix permissions for settings.xml are identical those for setup.xml and security.xml, and those files can be manipulated using the admin page just fine. ??? Mark Jochen F.

[pws] Feature request...anyone implemented these?
Hi All, Swiki is just about perfect for our needs but we'd really like to have the features below. Has anyone done/attempted to add these? 1) Edit mode Preview button. This would show you the rendered page without committing the changes and (more importantly) without sending out email notifications. 2) Edit mode Save Minor Changes button. This would commit the page but it would not get the page listed in the Changes view nor would it send out email notifications. 3) Edit pane size customization. We'd like the edit pane to be a bit bigger. This is the least important but maybe the easiest to address. Thanks for any info. If these don't exist and aren't planned then it would be great to know how difficult it would be to add them. I have ~3 years VisualWorks experience (no Squeak experience) but that was about 5 years ago. Thanks, Mark

[pws] First Message: Swiki Clock One Hour Fast
My apologies in advance if this is not the correct forum for my question...I'm new. :-) :-) I have downloaded and installed the ComSwiki bundle for solaris (specifically, ComSwiki-solaris.1.tar.gz from http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/swiki/11) and had no trouble getting it up and running. However, the history timestamps are all one hour faster than the solaris command-line time (from $ date), which the the correct local time, PST. Can I fix this with the ComSwiki image I have now? In the Squeak window I can pop open a Workspace and evalutate Time now, which is also an hour fast. By way of background, I have some solid VisualWorks experience (3 years FTE) but I have been away from VW and Smalltalk for about 2 years. I am brand new to Squeak, but what I have seen so far looks pretty familiar. TIA, Mark
