Rainbow with magic ajax
A little update:
Eric sent me the latest AJAX dll, posted on the community files list.
I have successfully configured my wizard to save settings and all that, however, I am still debugging the ajaxified version.
Basically, I have the settings wizard implementing magic ajax, to add functionality. This works great, the wizard posts back using ajax, and my message control is rendered to the page correctly, with all the server side debug statements ( wonderful ).
I am stuck on one snag, where they update is not actually being applied. What I mean is that when the update method runs on the server, it is updating with the values from the server, and not pulling in my new form values. ( if I disable the Ajax, and do a regular post back, my values are saved correctly ).
I am going to work on this today and tomorrow. If I can not solve this issue by myself by Saturday, I will commit my code to my trunk anyway, and hopefully someone else can help me out. ( I think my problem is that I get a little lost in the events ).
second, I have been working with "ajaxifying" the add module module. This also is working kind of nicely, but not 100%. I have managed to successfully add some modules to the page, but not all. I am wondering if this traces to bugs in the module, or a limitation in the implementation so far. we will see. I imagine this will take a little time to get to work properly, but it will happen soon enough. ( I can't guarantee I will commit this code along with the others, because it might be too buggy still ).
My favorite feature of what I am working on so far is the Message Control. Used in conjunction with an Ajax panel, I am able to run call backs to the server, and return a nicely formatted prompt to the user with a div that is also hidden using a link button. The coolest part is that the visibility is controlled entirely server side!!!!
