Edit In Place 999Well, 999 hits and counting over extensions.joomla.org. This is quite a success for me considering the work that I put in(not much actually, :wink;)

I am planning on improving the javascript part of EiP to use createElement instead of the innerHTML thing as I tested on FF1.0x, the component somehow fails. I’m also thinking about a edit-in-place on-steroid version: instead of 1 form element at a time, how about being able to update the entire form in one click? The developer can only need to make a div to wrap around, then do some javascript initialization and everything is good to go. Why am I doing this? Well, writing a web-app is tedious sometime. You have to develop the front-end, the the backend with additional adding/updating features. So the work is trippled. With this on-steroid ajax form, the developer can just write the frontend and easily add the updating features to it.

If you have used and happen to like Edit in Place, let me know what you think.

What would be cool, is if you also shared your dealer locator component.
From what i gather, many are looking for this.

Styles,
I was thinking about releasing the dealer locator as a component for Joomla/Mambo. However, I’d like to improve it a little bit to make it more generalized. But I just don’t have the time right now. If you need the component, I’ll pack it up and share with you or anyone who may need it.

Hi,

I am going to look to your component very closely. It looks so interesting. The thing is that I worked this past two weeks on enhancing a current component for a Joomla! site for a client and in developing the enhancements I end up duplicating forms which are pretty much the same with small differences in the add/edit/admin stages. This looks as a very promising solution. Now my problem is that I am not familiar with AJAX/Comet so I will review your code and see how can I get the AJAX working myself (for other purposes).

I had looked at some other AJAX components but I have no idea how they get it working with the Joomla! Framework.

I’ll get back with you soon.
