You are welcome to join the next General developer meeting on Tuesday, 21 April 2015. The meeting will focus on changes in the upcoming Moodle 2.9 release with special attention paid to impact of these changes on community contributors and plugin authors.
Please check the meeting agenda (work in progress) and more details at the meeting page.
Feel free to reply this discussion/thread with questions, comments and suggestions.
Will there be any talk about the replacement of YUI?
It's a big issue and I don't expect a full discussion about it, only some lines about the support of several libraries and if there's already some code migration and so on.
Urs Hunkler will share his experience with the Mustache framework, which is partially related to YUI replacement, too. More info about the RequireJS AMD Javascript loader in 2.9 can be found in MDL-49046.
David or Damyon, it would be very helpful to have access to Damyon's »Unified AJAX script handler« example he had shown during the developer meeting. Can you please give us a link to the example code? Maybe a link has been published but neither from the meeting page nor on the docs page I find a link.
Best would be to add the example in the docs - the code shown on https://docs.moodle.org/dev/User:Damyon_Wiese/Ajax_Service#Ajax_Service is not enough for an easy understanding how to implement the »AJAX script handler«.
Thanks a lot.
Damyon - any progress you may announce here?
Damyon, I have read the output/renderers/templates documentation. It is a nice introduction into the topic but lacks depth. The code you demonstrated at the developer meeting was a working example which would help me more to proceed. So it would be very helpful if you may find the time to give us a link to the code you had presented with.
Thanks a lot for your great work and for your support.
Ping.
Thanks for your answer Damyon.
The »Template Library tool« in the admin tools looks great. I tried to load a »cleanm« template from the list and got a »filenotfound« error. When I look at »admin/tool/templatelibrary/classes/api.php« I see the comment »// Skip theme dirs - we only want the original plugin/core template.« on line 122.
So the error is not »filenotfound« but »I don't want to load that template I had listed above« or something similar
Why do you think it is a good idea to exclude the templates in the theme? I guess the page layout templates will always be saved in a theme and will therefore always be excluded from the tool. And if templates may be excluded they should be excluded in the template list and not produce a load error, shouldn't they?
