RE: Update on View Updates
Status update:
I've been quiet for a while, thought I'd let people know what's going on. I have a massive deadline for some other work due in June so I put a hold on development for this for now. However, the good news is I have ported the classes to that work to speed some things along and integrated AJAX into them. All I need is to port the modified classes back, which will just be a day or two of work once I'm done.
To explain how the AJAX will work, for tables I used DataTables along with X-editable, which submits to a function that handles session security etc. Forms use AJAX when the submit button is pressed, and send the data to the server, which responds back with a success message. If the form is linked to a table, it will update the table. Forms can also be declared modal, so they will 'pop-up' when you click on a button.
However, these changes will complicate backwards compatibility, as they basically rely on javascript a lot more. I haven't figured out how to get things to work without it, any thoughts?
