Hello everyone,
I have uploaded a Dynamic loading Content structure menu for eZ publish administration interface, using asynchronous javascript. EDIT:
The contribution was originally a prototype developed by me. It has now been contributed to by David Heath from VisionWT, and is now a good replacement for the original menu. Here is a link to the contribution: http://ez.no/community/contribs/hacks/dynamic_content_stucture_menu_ajax
Note:
My part of the development is done on my spare time, and is not connected to my work in eZ systems.

This is not really AJAX technology, just asynchronous javascript, but its allways nice to add some buzzwords ;-)

It will replace the contentstructure menu in the left site of the administration interface. If you get a "Turn on Dynamic Menu" on the bottom of the content structure, it is working.

Yeah it works fine. Too bad you can't use the context menu with it so far...

Btw. there is a small thing missing in the code, which results in the menu not showing media and users correctly.. This should be easy to fix.. Maybe i should put this on pubsvn?

housing this at pubsvn.ez.no sounds like a really great idea :! I only ask for a screen shot because I had problems installing / testing it out (didn't show up :) While I've installed several extensions before I could not get the menu to show up in the admin :| I'm sure I was doing something wrong, not the code, I just did not take the time to figure out what...yet! Updated: I gave it another shot this morning and now realize I just didn't turn it on before :) Now I see what it looks like, neat. I guess the readme.txt might be more helpful if it included a brief sentence or two educating new users trying it for the first time on just what they should be looking for? I just wanted to see what it looked like, thought others might as well. I think having a screenshot helps promote extensions, ehh. //kracker <i>Ascii Quake Rocks!</i>

This took a while, but now I have uploaded the extension to pubsvn.
It is available here:
http://pubsvn.ez.no/community/trunk/extension/dynamicmenu/ Feel free to hack on it... I know the menu does not work correctly if you go to media or users. That is a quick fix which i will apply when i get the time..

Hello,
I noticed that an update was made to the 'Contribution' page for the menu ...
<i>http://ez.no/community/contribs/hacks/dynamic_content_stucture_menu_ajax</i> Yet I the revision number had not been incremented, nor did it highlight the latest changes or add an entry into the changelog field, which left me wondering just what brings the updated contribution object to the homepage? <b>Request:</b> Would you include a changelog (ordered by dated entries ascending) into the contribution object/page changelog field? With a changelog we can all tell quickly just when and what updates the contribution page what has received since the last time we reviewed the contribution. Currently it's (a little) difficult to discern just what's updated.

Hello all.
I have just updated the menu, with the following changes:
- Added: Timeouts for connections
- Added: Errormessage for unsupported browser
- Fixed: Menu now works when displaying users and media library
- Added: Support for browsing Now the next thing to do is probably to get the contextmenu and icons working..

Woho! Adding icons and the popupmenu wasnt as hard as i thougth.. I have committed it to the svn-version :-) Now all we need is storing which levels where expanded, and automagically open the levels to the current node we are viewing..

Well... it isnt tested very well, and just some rambling from me.. so i guess mr productmanager won't let this into the distribution without some competent people making it ;-) But this extension will work in 3.8 too ;-)

Very nice work Kristian... I was actually thinking yesterday evening about something similar, but you were here first ;) I always get a timeout (local server) on containers with too many items, do you have any idea of how this could be handled ? Otherwise, I really hope we can integrate more and more AJAX into the eZ Admin Interface in the future... I don't know if you have seen Zimbra (http://www.zimbra.com), but that kind of interface really gives you something to think about in my opinion ;)
