Hi Team, I am just curious. Which, if any, javascript API, are you thinking of replacing DOJO with? I was using DOJO for my "desktop" implementation but dropped it about 5 months ago because issues with size, relative complexity, the dearth of documentation and performance issues (specifically with widgets). I did a little research and decided to go with jQuery, which I immediately fell in love with. Compressed, the base jQuery is only 19k.
As for layouts, that is something I also replaced. What I came up with is based loosely on other CMS theme implementations (like that used in Drupal). It still uses Velocity as the templating language. I also dropped the idea of separation of layouts from decorations. For me it was just over kill and was harder to manage than I would like. Now you just create a page.html in your theme directory and go from there. I would love to get my theme implementation back into Jetspeed 2 as an alternate to the layout approach. Unfortunately, I haven't had any time to pull down the newest J2 and get all the functionality (I don't think I currently support everything that the layouts do) in place in the theme system. As for disabling /portal, I think that is as simple as removing the servlet mapping from J2's web.xml. -scott > -----Original Message----- > From: Team Vit [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2007 1:03 AM > To: Jetspeed Users List; Jetspeed Developers List > Subject: Modifying the Jetspeed Desktop > > Hi there, > > I would like to completely change the web interface of the AJAX desktop, > by dropping dojo, and the layouts concepts.
