New Dojo Tree Functionality
Dojo has just accepted code from Spider Strategies into the toolkit that allows dragging and dropping hierarchical data in a tree format “between” places in the structure!
Like the folder tree we’re all familiar with, we get accustomed to dragging and dropping things from one place to another. Many of these structures, like file folders, don’t care about the order of the contents. They can sort by things like size or name, but don’t store the order of data.
For more complex data structures, like those in CMS, the order of the data is an important part of the information. Thanks to the code we sent to Dojo, data in a tree can easily be moved from anywhere to anywhere. Previously, you could only drag and drop things into a location. Now it is possible to position things before or after other items, allowing users to intuitively manage their data.
Dojo Spotlight
We were recently chosen as one of the Spotlight companies using the Dojo toolkit. We’ve used open source tools in our applications since the start of the company, but we’re particularly excited about technologies like Dojo because they make it a lot easier to write cutting edge web applications. Considering the fact that companies like Apple, AOL, and IBM use Dojo, this is quite an honor!
Major Website Update
I’ve just published a major update to the website. The look and feel are similar, but there’s a lot more content and I think things are laid out a little better now. I’d love to hear your suggestions!
We’ll publishing even more updates in the coming weeks, so keep your eye out for even more changes.
