Screencast: New drag/drop features in SVN/beta-2

Unfortunately, no. That would require a lot of extra JS per page load (to do the functionality required for that) and would be near-impossible to get it to work in other RTEs.

Ok, so the only time we have access to that neet popup is when we drag the snippet into place. Well, it’s always possible to do it the "old" way. It’s supergreat anyway!

This will be really awesome when someone (any volunteers?) builds the ability to configure snippets via dialog boxes into a front end editor. Then MODx will be really easy for non-technical people to use--like Concrete5, but a lot more powerful.

Right. But, remember, Property Sets have been introduced into Revolution, and this will make it so you have to do less and less snippet calls in the first place.

Very cool stuff!
I was thinking of something similar for the big snippets like Wayfinder, MaxiG, Ditto, etc which have a lot of parameters to play with...

I also thought it would be cool to add a preview window based on the dragged and dropped parameters,
to see in almost "real time" what the changes to parameters and templates do and speed and facilitate the
development of stuff...

Great stuff really!!

Wow, that’s nice and seems pretty easy to use.

Will we be able to set custom extjs components such as color picker or combobox with the drag and drop feature ?

Combobox, yes. It’s called a "List" property in the properties grid. Date is also supported as well.

I’ve been thinking about trying to make it so you can do one for color pickers. We’ll see what I can scrap up. Ideally I’d like to have it so that it can create dynamically by xtype. We’ll see.

Where can I find more info about creating a development environment like seen in your video.

Thx

Very cool good job

Good to know, looking forward to play with it.
