Hi all,
lately I worked with AJAX and would like to support v2 with AJAX
out-of-the-box.
WDYT?
What is the use case?
ATM no actual use case, but we can use it in e.g. the search contract
and enable the google suggestions
http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en. AJAX in general is really
useful and I have tons of ideas around it. ;-)
I see it is exciting - but I'd rather finish what we started first (I
just mean I don't have the time for that, but if you do, OK).
It seems to me that with this Forrest would be moving a long way from a
publishing framework and becoming more like Cocoon itself, an
application framework. But maybe I'm just bind to the use case.
Hmm, IMO no. contracts are extra-content and/or extra-functionality.
AJAX is just a way to update parts of the site on user interaction
without having to reload the whole site.
OK, got that - good idea.
There is a ajax-block in cocoon, which is the best way to incorporate
this in existing structurer?
We need Forms to be working first.
Why do you think so?
Forms depend on AJAX (not the other way around, have a look at
blocks.properties).
Really! My mistake then.
Or is it better to create a new plugin?
If we make Forrest a Cocoon block then we get to use the Ajax block
however we want.
Actually AJAX support is just linking a couple of jscripts by default in
the view. Thinking about it the easiest way is to write a contract for
that.
Off you go then, I expect to see a cool demo tomorrow morning ;-)
