Project: AjaxNotes
Date: November 26, 2005 - 8:07 PM
AjaxNotes is an advanced version of the DevNotes app included with Sitellite CMS. I like and use it a lot but there are several things that bug me so much I decided to create this project. In one word, messages created with DevNotes are static. My idea is to allow creating, modifying and deleting notes created with AjaxNotes/DevNotes.
Initial release brings the following features/bugs:
- Posting works fine, but still have to sort out how to call several Ajax calls one after another (asynchronous XMLHttpRequest?)
- Loading notes via XMLHttpRequest kinda works but output is wrong (block elements are rendered inline, <br /> turn to <br> and such)
- Some code has not yet been properly forked/rebranded
The goals of this project are:
- use much-hyped Ajax technology for all of these tasks so as to avoid unnecessary page refreshes
- provide graceful fallbacks for users with JavaScript support turned off/not available
- change notes into tasks - i.e. let the user change their status, priority etc
- bring this project's quality to high standards of Simian so as to promote AjaxNote into the official Sitellite CMS source tree & distribution as a replacement for the original DevNotes project
