That's appreciated :-) ExtJS 4 doesn't seem to offer much that would improve the interface, other than perhaps the paging-less infinite scroll grid. Filters also can be integrated in column's headers (available also in 2.2) In 2.2 the filter is accessed by opening the column options (where you also show/hide the cols). I didn't like that the filter wasn't visible all the time, so implemented the current AutoCRUD filters row. I believe it's the same in 4.x from what I've seen of the demos unless I missed something. Oh, the editable grid is also a nice feature but I'm unsure whether that would just confuse the user in the current UI. I wil try a simple test with ExtJS 4, and post it soon. I look forward to it, many thanks! regards, oliver. ___ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/

The config with the app isn't right, which is why AutoCRUD exploded. Sure, it shouldn't do that, so I have another thing to fix :) But to get the app running, comment out the Model::AutoCRUD::DBIC config key entirely. You already provide DB connection info within the DB.pm Model. This is Scenario 1. from the documentation. (of course if you want to customize AutoCRUD then the key needs to be there only without the connection/schema info) regards, oliver. Thanks (again), now I understand why I had two entries in the databases liste...

ExtJS 4 doesn't seem to offer much that would improve the interface, other than perhaps the paging-less infinite scroll grid. Filters also can be integrated in column's headers (available also in 2.2) Anyway ExtJS 4 offers a cleaner abstraction of models, views and controller used inside the interface, so the mapping between the Catalyst components and ExtJS can probably be improved.
