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.
Hi Robin,
From my experience it looks like there are many people asking about
Dojo 1.1 integration, few that seem to work on this stuff for their
own but almost nobody that is willing to work on trunk.
The problem with working in trunk (as I saw it) was the sheer amount
of time in which cforms would have been unreleasable. Moving from 0.4
to 1.1.1 just broke absolutely everything.
Actually, Jeremy Quinn has probably the best progress but he still
keeps everything on his local computer to our misfortune.
Sorry, it just seemed easier :(
Jeremy, I was thinking about this branch yesterday and I think you
should branch whole 2.1 and commit your work to your branch.
With your help, I'd be happy to do this.
Also, even if I could assist with this process (which is very easy
btw.) but I think it should be you who establishes the branch
because I have no free cycles to support branch of 2.1 at the
moment. Fortunately enough, at Apache we have Subversion 1.5
installed so you will be able to take advantage of improved branch/
merge support in 1.5.
Lets do it !!
I am getting really close to having all widgets re-written to Dojo
1.1.1 APIs, still not quite there yet.
But as it looks like I have some work coming up that will delay me
further, this could be a good time to get it out.
Apart from my dwindling list or re-writes, there will obviously be a
big list of niggles and bugs to fix, specially as none of this is
tested on MSIE.
Cleaning up samples
Devising a good scheme for packaging code and i18n
Waiting for a slew of bug fixes that will come in Dojo 1.2
Implementing client-side validation based on cforms validators, not
just datatypes (as I have now)
etc. etc.
There is still a lot to do, but once these last few widgets are
written and all legacy samples work again, people will be able to run
and use it, criticise, tweak, fix, meaning the slope should be
downhill :)
Robin, back to your question: I hope that once Jeremy publishes his
work we can all join our forces to push things forward. When it
comes to me, I can help with porting Jeremy's work from 2.1 to trunk.
That would be great!!
best regards
Jeremy
