Manager Speed

Offtop, but interesting. Can xPDO be adapted to use document-oriented DB like a MongoDB? Is it possible to rewrite the MODx manager with closure (for example), using the existing php connectors?

If there’s a PDO driver for Mongo, then yes. And absolutely the Revo Manager could be rewritten in Closure.

Uhm, but let’s clarify. We’re not doing it for Revo 2.0.0. And I’m not sure that’s where we’ll go on the official manager interface for later, as well.

:)

Definitely not us doing it, that’s for sure. But someone else absolutely could. Unless we got a huge bounty to do it that is.

Let me slap myself around a little on this topic and say that the Revo Manager is an amazing piece of work, and considering its power and flexibility, it’s amazingly fast. Sometimes I forget.

Hi,

I was wondering if it would be possible for the team to take a look at those pages from ExtJS examples:

Ext.data.DataWriter Example

RESTful Store Example

Those examples shows some behaviours that would be great within MODx Manager:

1 - When the grid is updated, the store don’t reload the entire grid, just the updated row, the same things happen if we create a new line.
2 - When the server response has been received, the red indicator disappear but there is also a visual feedback on the top which would really fit in the all ajaxified Manager’s layout.

What do you think?

I think those are great tools that were recently implemented into ExtJS 3.0. We designed the UI for 1.1, way back when, which didnt have those tools at the time.

We’ll be working on optimizing that stuff for 2.1 (or maybe a 2.0.x release), but I doubt those kinds of optimizations will make it into 2.0, since they’d require a pretty significant rewrite of the current MODExt api.
