Hi All
I am almost ready to start the commit of the new dojo 1.1.1 based
cforms to the Branch Grzegorz kindly setup.
The last issue I am trying to sort out is getting XDomain loading
working.
i.e. having forms and ajax modules served by the local Cocoon
instance, while all dojo's js/css etc. is loaded from Google's Ajax
CDN : http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/dojo/1.1.1/**
If I can get XDomain loading to work, we have several different
possible scenarios available to us, I am interested in getting
feedback from you guys as to which ones are actually useful.
1) Loading Dojo from Google CDN is the default.
dojo-rsrc.jar only contains a few static files required to support
Dojo in XD mode (a few K).
If a user wants to load Dojo locally, they dl their own copy and
use the provided build scripts to make a replacement dojo-
rsrc.jar
2) Loading Dojo from Google CDN is the default, but we provide the
full dojo-rsrc.jar in the dist (4.7Meg).
If a user wants to load Dojo locally, they add
map:parameter name=dojo-use-cdn value=false/ to
their sitemap
3) Loading Dojo locally is the default
We provide the full dojo-rsrc.jar in the dist (4.7Meg).
If a user wants Dojo to load from CDN, they add
map:parameter name=dojo-use-cdn value=true/ to
their sitemap
I personally think that (1) has distinct advantages.
Less code in our dist, very effective caching and serving of Dojo, etc.
NB. This is still a bit theoretical, as I do not have XDomain loading
working quite yet :(
n) The user wants a single JS file that contains everything needed for
one form:
... not sure yet, but they'd probably use the build scripts to make a
'layer' file
having made a 'profile' to drive the build, which contains references
to
all of the Widgets required in the form (a handy list appears at the
end of every cforms page)
The User puts a script src=myForm.js . . . in their Template
Please let me know what you think.
regards Jeremy
