My 2 cents if I may ... Although I love this list and this is the official Lift list and support I think it is important to also have other wiki's, forums etc. out there. Personally I don't see this as a community split. More and more people are becoming pretty knowledgeable with Lift & Scala sha

In such cases IF you also need to send an ajax request you can also use the SHtml.ajaxButton that takes a Call as an argument. See this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/liftweb/browse_thread/thread/f7a5eb09a756e076/009d5802f7652669?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=Call#009d5802f7652669 Br's, Marius On Aug

The lift community is not huge. It's David Pollak's brainchild, and I don't see how you can discuss creating a forum (after the fact) without his okaying it. How can you compare it to an IRC? A forum fills much of the same purpose as the list, much more than IRC. Some of the advantages mentione

I personally think it's not such a good idea to have a forum in addition to the group, and I wouldn't want to switch to some web forum (I prefer email to the point of just plain not using a web interface). I think fragmentation of the community is a bad thing... shouldn't we discuss if it'

Well it depends on how your dialog works... if you need a JS function that calls back to the server, use SHtml.ajaxInvoke. If you want a element that does the same thing, use SHtml.ajaxButton. If that doesn't help you, please post what code you do have or an example of what you want. -Ros

You can use any database that has a JDBC driver, using whatever setup the database/driver supports. I don't think Lift can detect things like removed fields.
