For the last month or so, I have been working on a plugin that does something similar to CRUD, except that it's all AJAX and provides a couple of nice features for editing things. Obviously, it doesn't work exactly like CRUD, since I've never really looked at the code for it, but I wanted something similar that was fast.
Here are some screen shots of how it lists items in a simple, reorderable list: <https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ZrAVT54bJcg/TfJZni9VRHI/AAAAAAAAABQ/UwliZ1DRAjM/Screen%252520shot%2525202011-06-10%252520at%2525201.36.13%252520PM.png> This is the automatically generated editor that shows up with jQuery UI's Dialog: <https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ZeGy8t8r4Wg/TfJZ1V9CndI/AAAAAAAAABY/1ec9UoUvsrI/Screen%252520shot%2525202011-06-10%252520at%2525201.36.39%252520PM.png> Deleting a record is easy too: <https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-OpZUcBaVYho/TfJZ9iZEgSI/AAAAAAAAABg/9s4aXK5W75o/Screen%252520shot%2525202011-06-10%252520at%2525201.37.04%252520PM.png> A more complex list/details view is available as well: <https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Gws74Fzm9c0/TfJaHA8JEwI/AAAAAAAAABo/Gd9SC_VIPEk/Screen%252520shot%2525202011-06-10%252520at%2525201.43.46%252520PM.png> Finally, the last screen shot was made using only this code in the default controller: <https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-pQqexQOxIiE/TfJaQr6QMlI/AAAAAAAAABw/wCy9E7FHg2o/Screen%252520shot%2525202011-06-10%252520at%2525201.50.14%252520PM.png> I originally created this functionality for an application I was using, then eventually turned it into a plugin. As such, it assumes that you use jQuery UI and the jQuery Layout plugin. It will load the jQuery Layout plugin automatically if it is in your app/static/js folder, but again, this assumes that you have your own jQuery UI installation. This is probably the only draw back so far. I am not ready to release the code yet, as there is quite a bit of documentation that would need to be written for it since it does make a few assumptions when creating your own forms versus allowing the plugin to create them for you. I am just putting this out there to see if there is any community interest in this plugin. If enough people are interested, then I will try to set some time aside to clean up the code, document, and release the plugin.
