Okay, I'm sorta pulling my hair out. Here's the deal, I just want to incorporate some very simple LocalServer caching for a CMS app. No fancy offline support, no weird DB stuff, just cache everything to run faster (sorta like what Wordpress is doing). But so far, every example I've looked at, well, sucks. At least insofar that I haven't been able to adapt a single technique. And the documentation sucks pretty hard too, like trying to figure out what the difference between createStore() and createManagedStore() is. Frankly, I couldn't tell you given everything I've read. My goal is to make this as *simple* as possible, while still being properly functional.
So, let me outline my scenario. I've dropped the gears_init.js file on the server, and created a manifest.json file. They are both in / html/js/gears on the server. I want to plug a button into the bottom.jsp template file to enable or disable gears based on whether it is or not already. Here's the code as I've managed so far: http://pastebin.com/f3d5dd4cf The other thing I'm not clear on, does the manifest.json file need to be a path relative to the gears_init.js file (so "manifest.json"), or something absolute (like "/html/js/gears/manifest.json"). I've also had to strip out stuff like checkForUpdate() because when it's in there, I get errors about the function not being defined. I'm just surprised how difficult this is proving overall.
