Hi there, Just wondering when/if support for the Ext.Template object is planned into the development? At the moment I need to change the presentation of a Ext.Button control (which cannot be implemented through straight CSS).. Am playing around with the RenderBeginTag, Render, methods etc without much luck. Maybe there is another way?? I thought I may be able to achieve the same result by adding the Javascript before the script is rendered. Either through additional config options manipulation before script rendering or totally overwrite what is rendered (then why use the control). I played with the AdditionalConfig property of the Coolite.Ext.Web.Component but either it never compiled due to my errors or, if it did, nothing was rendered. What does this property do and how do I utlise it? Anyhow, loving the objects but finding a few issues in extending them for customised purposes - more than likely because I am new to the toolkit. cheers, Conor Permalink: Post #846

Hi Conor, Can you post a sample of what button style/functionality you're trying to accomplish? A screen capture, mockup or link to a sample somewhere would help us understand the problem and we should be able to post some code to point you in the right direction. The templates are really for just rendering data. -- Geoffrey McGill Coolite Inc. Core Developer twitter [personal] [coolite] Permalink: Post #857

Hi Geoffrey I am developing the desktop example as a new component for Coolite. This is mainly to learn Coolite and push its extendability; for me to review if its a technology that I can incorporate into other projects. The button I was referring to was the start button. The ExtJS code from the example is this.startBtn = new Ext.Button({ text: 'Start', id: 'ux-startbutton', iconCls:'start', menu: this.startMenu, menuAlign: 'bl-tl', renderTo: 'ux-taskbar-start', clickEvent:'mousedown', template: new Ext.Template( '<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="x-btn-wrap"><tbody><tr>', '<td class="ux-startbutton-left"><i> </i></td><td class="ux-startbutton-center"><em unselectable="on"><button class="x-btn-text" type="{1}" style="height:30px;">{0}</button></em></td><td class="ux-startbutton-right"><i> </i></td>', "</tr></tbody></table>") }); The application of the Ext.Template here was something I was looking into. I have found out how and what AdditionalConfig Attribute is used for; however I have only been successful in adding string attributes and not new objects such as Ext.Template above. Essentially, if there are examples anywhere that show cusomtised implementation of Coolite controls (i.e. extending Coolite.Ext.Web.Component object; or others) that would help but as I am getting more into this; things have become much clearer and easier to customise. However, examples which show creation/manupilation of complex properties/configoptions that are not supported in the Coolite library at the moment (eg: Ext.menu.Menu). This will enable me (and others) to build new controls based on ExtJS API until the Coolite library is more mature and more controls supported (i.e. a short term workaround). My end goal however is to extend Coolite base objects, and not just add straight javascript. Main reason for this is to keep the page sequence events (rendering, etc) inline with each other. cheers, Conor Permalink: Post #864
