Writing your own Ajax components in CForms

[Kamal Bhatt <kb...@tt.com.au>]

Hi,
I would like to write some Ajax based components in CForms. However, I 
don't really follow the code (and Dojo). Does anyone have any resources 
on writing Ajax based components in CForms?

Cheers.

There are two main concerns:

1. I would like to better handle validation errors in tabs (see here: 
http://www.nabble.com/Tabs-and-CForms-t4630685.html). My colleagues have 
concerns about the approach I have taken, and so do I.
2. I am not happy with some of the functionality provided by the 
repeater table, in particular in line editing. For example, I would like 
to support whole row editing.

Also, I would generally like to have a better understanding of what is 
going on. This would be beneficial for building forms, particularly as I 
have some rather specific requirements for widgets. For example, I see a 
lot of code for Google maps (which could be useful), but no 
understanding on how to use it and I cannot easily find out from code. 
In the past, myself and my company as a whole have done a lot of 
internal widget development (including integration our own Calendar code 
and integrating a colour picker) and I would prefer not having any 
suprises when we upgrade to the new version of CForms (still using 2.1.7 
CForms).

Thanks.

Could you elaborate on your plans and needs? Do you plan to write full custom widget?

AFAIK you don't need to care that much about AJAX when developing new Forms widget. Most of the
tedious work of handling AJAX is done by CForms.

If you give more details I'll try to write some list of things you need to do.
