Form plugin

@Luuk

There was a problem on a table name, and a redirect link, i’ve uploaded a new version

Form example:

name|true|string|Name
email|true|email|Email
phone|false|phone|Phone
subject|false|choices|Subject|Foo,Bar
text|true|text|Message

In page editing, type Form

<?= $this->form->form('_name_of_your_form', '_name_tab_with_template', 'name_tab_with_success_message'); ?>

Email template

To: foo@example.com
Subject: [example.com] contact form
From: noreplay@example.net

Form data:

%form%

I had some problem using your jQuery wrapper, i don’t believe it depend of your mistake… but i’ve not investigated yet.

It seems that after loading some script, from a “page” i can’t call jquery function, for example.

I enclose the content of the script between:

file: foo.js
jQuery(function($) {
  functoin foo() {}
});

and when for another file or a “page” i try to call the function, it seems to have different scope.

<script src="foo.js" ...
jQuery(function($) {
  console.log(foo());
});

In my script i generate html code from js an bind some function on varius events etc… but for some reason that functions can’t found.

Why do not port Frog to jQuery instead of create wrapper, if many peoples seems to prefer them? :P
I’m joking, even if time ago i made this indecent propose to phillipe, i could have also a 80% ported tarball somewhere…

@philippe

While you take time to make the right decision…
consider also to keep the language selector, so people with a lot of pages can manage/view only the desired language tree. I thinks the choices could be Default(show all), English, French, etc …

Form plugin

The validation is server side, and actually there’s ajax support, but could be easy to add. The plugin sends email sends email only.

The form builder at this time it’s only an idea because my desire to learn/play with prototype…

I understand your idea, but i think that removing the language part from the url, make the url probably a bit better, but it doesn’t so different for search engine, while it could create “problems” for editor… (es, i don’t want to call a page “contact_us” instead of “contact” because i’ve other languages).
Besides in languages different from english, time to time people use english word, because their language doesn’t have a “beautiful”/used translation.

In the example below:

index.html (/)
accueil.html (french)

if think that it’s not so natural, for example i would like to see your french version and i don’t find the link in th site… i can’t write:

/fr/

to see the home page, because i must to know how you call your index page.

I believe that your approach give too consideration to the search engine, loosing user and editor usability.

At the end this is what i prefer (suppose english as default language):

index.html (/)
contact_us.html
blog/
    first_post.html
    second_post.html
/fr/
    accueil.html (french)
    contactez_nous.html
    blogue/
        premier_post.html
        deuxieme_post.html
...

let me know what you think.

You can try the brech of philippe in svn.

Why this strange approach “use the 2 chars lang code (en,fr,it,es,…) at the end of the url (only if there is url conflict)” ?

I believe that the classic hierarchy:

/
/services
/fr
/fr/services

it’s a better schema.

Patch, mailing list etc...

Personally i think that the right solution is talk to Philippe, frog it's still a small project with few people and even less coders. So we could try to improve Frog before try to forking.

@Chrononaut: i agree with mvdkleijn, anyway i've read your short and long term goals and i agree. I've already ported frog to jquery and write additional code for my personally propose; sadly i not yet fully tested the code (this is the main reason because i've not sent a patch).

@mvdkleijn: Philippe made a really good job with frog, but i think that we need a developer plan or so, i would use frog at work, but i don't write/manage/develop a software alone, actually i don't have the time. I need to know that the software it's active and have an active community. Anyway I understand that this is for Philippe an hobby or something that really like to do on his spare time.

Hy Kud, Here*1 you can find the last version of the "patch"... the tarball include a complete version of Frog 0.9.2 with the patch already applied. So, if you currently use 0.9.2, you could simply replace all your files. I've also ported to the trunk version where anyway i've modified also other thinks... *1)http://ale.metaverso.org/frog/frog-languages-0.2.tgz

Page tree reordering problem

(try to format lists)

Hi, when i try to reorder a page, it can't be nested as child if the parent doesn't already has one.

root child A child A1 child B child C

So, child C, can be deragged as subchild of child A, but can't be subchild of B. Event if child A1 is dragged out of A, it's impossibile to bring it back.

I'll try to fix it, with minor update on js and a little bit of ccs, any way, it's not possible create something like that: root child A child A1 child A1.1

However i'm new to script.aculo.us, i prefare jQuery :P ... so any hint to fix it?

hi, this version should work, both backend and frontend.

Page API

Hi, What do you think to introduce api to manage/create new "tab" on the page edit... an example of a plugin could be one that add tab to specify (priority, and update frequency) to generate a google sitemap.xml ... on this "tab" a plugin could extend the page attributes on a simple way... i can write the code, if you think that could not be a waste of time :P
