Webdialog example
-
Hi. If one of you guru's would pick 1(or more) simple plugin to be used as an example in educational purpose for webdialogs, which would it be?
It's kinda hard to go through every plugin available
Believe me, I'm working on it.Now, it would have to be a simple one that is fairly basic in structure. Pure JS, no Jquery cause I find one have another JS file to compare against. And that confuses things, nomatter how good JQuery is.
What I feel is that, those plugins that DO use webdialogs are very complex. Probably due to the requirements of doing webdialogs. Either it's a commersial plugin=scrambled. Or made by one of the super computer geeks from this forum=Very hard to read/ understand.
The Googleblog tutorials are good, but get you going just somewhat.

Jim's Mover2 is a good one to play around with...

Perhaps Jim Foltz's 'Move' tool.
Also some of RickW's tools like Windowizer4 that has some concise webdialog use...
You have already looked at my 'Octane Exporter' which is of course a beast!
However, it does have lots of methods - inputboxes, dropdown-lists [preset and purpose-built per model], check-boxes, buttons, sliders etc etc... -
Ah, move tool. Missed that one. Great thanks!
Windowizer4. Hmm. Commersial plugin. I don't mind paying for something, but I suspect it's scrambled, like $plugins usually are?
'Octane Exporter' Is indeed a beast. But I do see some things there I can get inspired by, like you said. However, trying to figure out what is acctually going on in complicated scripts can be very difficult, especially when linked to other modules or classes rb's.
Will have a look at move tool.

Windowizer4 isn't scrambled and its code is pretty informative.
When I'm looking through code I use 'find' a lot - it helps to see what is called by what - you can even use it across .rb/.html files if they are both open in Notepad++ etc... -
Great info.
I probably should get that windowiser4 plugin then. It does seam very handy as a plugin, as well
Thanks
