Announcing Bonfire - A jumpstart for your web apps

[eluser]daK[/eluser]
Hi
If any of you is trying to play with the ToDo Tutorial, there's a typo error preventing it from inserting new tasks

Code:

head.ready(function() {
  $('.todo-form input[type=checkbox]').change(function() {

Should be...

Code:

$('.ajax-form input[type=checkbox]')

(as side note, ajax-form can be named whatever-form, as long as it matches the opening form class...)

Just in case any of you is insanelly trying to find what's wrong...

[quote author="loosetops" date="1305520802"]@daK,
I don't get what you are really trying to do[/quote]
Me neither... but I guess I wanted some snippet in view to echo file path...

But like you said, as soon as you get your hand on it, you start to get the hint. And also sense the powerness behond, sorta...

Created 2 today modules for playing with admin, thanks to the enlightments on tut ToDo, was a BIG big help, even found a typo error mirk:

And just now I bumped against my fist major drawback related to bonfire...

Opened bonfire admin in IE... nake:

It's a mess unfortunately. A checkout to a clean origin branch same thing. Bonfire admin doesn't render properly in IE (7 & 8).
If I checkout the ToDo tutorial and try it in IE, it's unusable, simple as that.

If any of you could try it out plz... don't know if browsershots helps

And if I could runaway form IE I would , but can't...

UPDATE 18-May - main developer has taken care of this IE issues, thanks

Hmm. I've been testing Bonfire in 5 browsers myself. The most current versions of whatever I can install of Opera, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. I'm currently limited to IE 8 at the moment since I haven't upgraded yet to Windows System 7 (damn Microsoft). My front end works just fine in all of the above (with a few inexplicable differences in the Web Kit browsers, particularly Chrome). Haven't tried it with the back end yet. I'll definitely look into that.

@daK - When I get the time I'll package up something like Fourfender to better demonstrate Bonfire with HMVC.

@basketsoftware

Thanks man, u just gave my 2 greatest news today

1. You're having a good experience with your front-ends and bonfire. Lib template and hmvc are new to me, so I'm scared to find that things could get breaked because of templating and hierarchy.

2. You're bumping fourfender to something more example wise (I hope). ToDo is a great example startup for Admin, FourFender would make a great couple here (it even already has a name!), giving us examples of things working in the front-end. I stil miss Controller-View-Controller examples of code, it can be very frustrating searching for snips of code you've seen "somewhere but don't know where", just to acomplish simple things.

As for IE admin, I've just run into a few tests, using lonnieezell dev branch.

IE8 (ie8 view)- despite some visual annoyances and ugliest controls, it's working. Looses some of bonfire enjoyable experience, so IMO it won't impressionate my audience (or clients, if I freelanced)
IE7 IE8 (compat view ) - admin top-links go away, modules magic links scrambled, unusable imo.

I'll cherry pick my ToDo module and test further

P.S. Of course it all resumes to my ability to theme my webapp it decently for IE... mediocre btw.

I'm building an entire storefront right now with Bonfire. The link is at http://basketcasesoftware.com/bonfire
It's using HMVC in fact. If you go to http:://basketcasesoftware.com/bonfire/store you would be going to one of the two working modules (no, the front links aren't all functional yet). The first link is the home module of course.

Update on IE issue:

The scenario isn't so bad for IE8 after finding a missed input closing tag in my ToDo module!
... and... btw... a missing closing form that would prevent JS to send the post with deleted ids
No comments pls :blank:

Aditional infodetailed here, resumes to a few visual annoyances in IE8, leaving only IE7/IE8(compat) in need for help.

@basketsoftware
Thanks man, very motivating

Say, bonfire/store/mens/shirts store is a module where you have shirts (and tuxedos) for men (and eventually women).
Who plays what? I'm figuring whos module, controller, method, but I'm not sure. What about genre mens and femmes?
Sorry, all that IE debugging fried my brains... need a walk

Thanks basketsw
You look good on that photo btw :cheese:

[eluser]Basketcasesoftware[/eluser]
@daK - My client is a online mens' clothing store. My modules are home and store. Actually there are more stubbed in but I haven't worked on them much.

What photo? :ohh:

The one on Adatti's home page ;-P

EDIT

Can someone elucidate me this piece of code from ToDo tutorial final script, at the end where developer introduces the ajax call

Code:

public function delete()  
{
   $id = $this->uri->segment(5);
   $this->todo_model->delete($id);

   echo 'true'; //   <----- THESE TWO LINES
   die();
  }

Why are we echoing TRUE (and what happens if FALSE) and then halting the script by die()ing?

[eluser]Basketcasesoftware[/eluser]
That's not a photo of me. That's a stock photograph. In fact right after I "borrowed" it for the development site page my client paid full price for it. I just haven't uploaded it yet. How'd you like the "frosted glass" effect with working links? That took a bit of research.
