Re: AW: CForms and Dojo

Many thanks for all your replies... seems there is some enthusiasm for this after all! Once Jeremy's work is accessible somewhere I'd be happy to help with any further work that needs to be done.

Chris: I would love to see your xslt, just so I can see if my widget in a repeater woes are solved by dojo 1.1.

Well I can send you my Xslt, but it’s really pre-sub-alpha-0.0.0.0.1 Version

But I am using dojo widgets in repeaters though and they work as they should. I can send you the file, but I’d suggest using it as inspiration and not for production

Currently I am working myself into the mysteries of Cocoon 2.2 and it’s build voodoo, so I haven’t had the time to make some real progress here. But I am optimistic, that I will get the hang of C2.2 pretty soon. Jeremy is currently working on client side validation and Dojo 1.1 … unfortunately I haven’t had the time to make the changes needed for this. I promise I will do my best to do this next week.

Betreff: Re: CForms and Dojo

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if this work in progress is available anywhere? I can't seem to find it in trunk.. I am coming up against some bugs when using certain dojo within a repeater - would love to see if dojo 1.1 resolves these.

Chris... is your forms XSL available anywhere too?

Many thanks,

Robin

Hi Chris!

Jeremy is actually integrating Dojo 1.1 into cforms. I think he is doing that in the 2.1.12dev branch and in trunk. It would be great, if you could join forces with jeremy to have dojo 1.1 integrated into the next cocoon release

greets,
Gabriel

CForms and Dojo

Hi there,

I am still using Cocoon 2.1.9 and was wandering if the version of dojo used for CForms in Ajax-Mode is used in 2.1.10 and 2.2? Since my current application is currently using a lot of Dojo 1.1 Stuff and I was sort of annoyed of the problem having to use dojo 0.4 and 1.1 together, I started creating my own forms-styling.xsl, which does the same as the original cocoon version, instead it uses dojo 1.1 with all its advanced features. It is currently working nicely.

Does Cocoon in a version greater than 2.1.9 still use Dojo 0.4? If yes, it might be interesting for me to clean up my xslt and give it to the cocoon guys (It looks a lot nicer).

While working on the Dojo 1.1 integration I found out that none of the validation-information is passed to the fi-stuff … it would be great if this information was forwarded here, cause I could additionally use the Dojo client-side validation in addition to the server-side validation of CForms (I know this doesn’t work for all validators) reducing some client-server-roundtrips.

Chris

The Repeater Widget in the new CForms has been completely re-written.
Widgets in Repeaters work well (of course :)

As a taster, here is some of the new functionality :

Repeaters gracefully upgrade from their simplest 'static' form  
(controlled via action buttons) up to full-blown drag and drop solely  
via configuration in the Model and Template. Lazy-loading of code  
ensures that only the Libs required for what you need are loaded.

Some of the features of DnD :
   Easy to control behaviour, enforced by the Model
   Select row(s) optionally without a visible select control
   Optional Select/Drag handles
   DnD single or multiple rows at a time
   Avatars of rows being dragged plus lots of visual feedback
   No longer any need for custom handlers in your form for DnD
   Control over allowing/enforcing copy or move within a Repeater or  
between Repeaters
   Control over what is allowed to be dragged from one Repeater to  
another
   Control copy/move, multi-select/deselect using typical meta-keys
   Extensive visual customisation via CSS

etc. etc.

NB. You should only need to edit the templates of existing projects'  
Repeaters if :
a) you were using the old DnD Widgets (where you specified the Dojo  
Widget in your Template, nasty)
b) you want to use the new behaviour

I hope you will find the new Repeater to be a really powerful addition  
to your webapps and I hope it was worth the wait ;)

regards

Jeremy
