Comments on: Ajax Scaffold Plugin & Thoughts on Search http://blog.thatsuseful.com/2006/07/16/ajax-scaffold-plugin/ Life on and off the Rails Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:47:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Mike Perham http://blog.thatsuseful.com/2006/07/16/ajax-scaffold-plugin/comment-page-1/#comment-3 Mike Perham Sun, 16 Jul 2006 09:53:43 +0000 http://blog.caronsoftware.com/2007/11/25/ajax-scaffold-plugin#comment-3 Scott, take a look at Django's model CRUD admin interface. This should be the next generation AjaxScaffold. The real problem I have with AS is that it creates a large amount of code in my project for each model. All of this code is templated so there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to generate this code at runtime via a plugin instead. Django does just this and additionally supports various types of associations. Your search functionality would also be very helpful. If you have a public SVN repo for your plugin, I would love to see the code and possibly help you out. I'm just about to start a large new project and it would be extremely helpful to have a plugin, rather than the current generator. http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial2/ Scott, take a look at Django’s model CRUD admin interface.

There is no svn repo at the mo while things get a bit settled between the scaffold and the plugin. However, I may stick up a alpha version for people to play with once the api is done cos we can then play with the implmentation without breaking things (including our code at <a href="www.cominded.com">Cominded</a>, which is driving this).

However, we have a first release of the plugin ready which adds some new features (column totals, width, rel_width) so once that is out I will have a think about this again. Cheers Scott. Hi Peter,
