[eZjaxx] Ajax Admin extension discussion

Monday 05 February 2007 7:45:54 am

Hi Paul and André,

Did you doc what was mandatory to add in a custom pagelayout.tpl (css, js, init bits...) ?
Can someone put a quick list, so I won't spend too much time with firebug ;)

Hello

I found a problem with eZjaxx when it runs under SSLZones. Initially I reported a bug here http://issues.ez.no/IssueView.php?Id=10274 that effected ezdhtml and ezjaxx, Ruslan suggested adding the following to ezjaxx's site.ini.

[SSLZoneSettings]
ModuleViewAccessMode[ezjaxx/*]=keep

A similar entry in worked for ezdhtml but not for ezjaxx. I would appreciate some help getting this extension to work under SSLZones please.

Thanks

Hi André

Is modules/jaxx/classattributemove.php actually used somewhere? I couldn't find back a call to it.

Hi,

Just figured you'd want to know about this:
XDebug shows me a warning from expand.php line 130;

class_exists( eZContentLanguage )

should be

class_exists( 'eZContentLanguage' )

(notice the quotes).

This shows up in the browser as a big orange-titled error box inside every opened subfolder of the content tree (other than those already open on page reload). Only when XDebug is enabled, mind, so it only shows up on development servers.

You're welcome. :)

XDebug found me another issue, this time in modules/jaxx/classattribute.php, line 47 - use of an unset variable. Looking at it, it seems the actual problem is that the variable name doesn't match the one used on line 45.

Line 45-47 is this:

$accessRsult = $user->hasAccessTo( 'class', 'edit' );

if ( $result['accessWord'] == 'no' )

Two issues here, one is a typo and the other mismatched variable names.

Seems like I have to start to use xdebug:)

But I'm not sure what you need this for, ezjaxx has used no template mode ( pure php ) as default mode for quite some time now.
But I'll look into it of course :)

Patches withdrawn. I didn't realize that basically the exact same functionality, without the indirection layer, could be achieved simply by overriding the content_structure_menu.tpl file and putting in a new root path. Many thanks to André for showing me my ignorance.

Basically, what I've been using eZjaxx for, is a tree menu for the admin side of a (fairly large) product database implemented with eZ objects. These products are sorted into groups by type of product, and contain an attribute for which brand the product has.

The client wants that tree to be filterable by brand, so that only those products (and groups with products) with the given brand are shown in the tree. (Easier said than done, but I've managed.)

A rudimentary version was implemented using the template expand method and heavily modding the templates, but this was slow and not very good, nor easy to work with.
So I translated the code into PHP, and optimized it quite a bit, using custom SQL and other tricks, eventually enough to make it usable (as in not too slow - at one point I had a (technically working) SQL statement that took ~2.5 secs to execute, to return <10 rows).

What I wanted the patches for was to call this module view instead of jaxx/expand... I didn't at the time realize I could do this easily, as mentioned above; I thought the path was hardcoded in a .js file or something like that. So I implemented an indirection layer in expand.php... I know better now. Again, my thanks to André.

Is this in the preloaded part of the menu or the ajax expanded one ?
I guess it's in the expanded part since it's not escaped, so here is a possible fix:

In expand.php, change this line:

        $itemName = $item['name'];

to this:

        $itemName = htmlspecialchars( substr($item['name'], 0, 18) );
