We have been looking into the best way of putting several widgets on a
homepage. There are certainly a few ways to do it.
Conditions: 3 independent widgets need to be inlined in the normal flow of a
homepage. As the widgets contain totally different functionality, they are
developed separately.
Solutions:
1. putting 3 different inlined separately generated applications does not work
as only the first one will be seen. The last two are ignored. Big problem here
is the 3x code overhead....!
2. generating the 3 applications by an include mechanism of the generator to
keep their separation at development time might work unless they are not linked
to a DOM element, cause that creates an error:
el is null
el.style.overflow = "hidden";
Inline...3900255 (line 70)
It seems that an inline type of application ALWAYS need a DOM element anchored
else it generates an error. The error message seems to be able to be improved.
Each of the applications are activated by inlined javascript tags in the right
position of the page flow.
3. using an application type of standalone seems to take over the whole page.
4. a common code base including the qooxdoo framework by incremental generating
the code. Unfortunately this does not exist at the moment and in foreseen
future.
Result:
The combination of the above seems to give only one alternative, which does not
seem to be optimal: generating all apps in one inline app package (longer load
time); use package loading to keep down load time; connect all apps to DOM
elements not to get errors, even if it is for example a popup; trigger the
respective app by inline javascript tags in the flow of the page.
How would the core team advice it to be done?
