A patch is in Trac to do some re-usable Dojo integration; basically, I ported all the admin JS to Dojo packages -- it's meant both to be the way the admin will eventually be, and an example of doing Django/Dojo stuff. However, it was done against the magic-removal branch and feature freeze was called, so it'll probably be a while before the patch hits trunk. Once it does, though, Django will be shipping a Dojo build suitable for doing AJAX effects -- the admin will be using the "Events + I/O" edition of Dojo. Beyond that I'm not sure exactly where we'll go; we've talked about building a server-side RESTful API which could be called from JavaScript or any other language, and that would certainly be a help. So far as I know, there are no plans for the sorts of "AJAX helpers" or "press a button and get AJAX" that appear in other frameworks, and personally I think that's a good thing. -- "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house." -- George Carlin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
