Dear Anthony, Kiran and Johann,
Thanks for the responses. I'll be keeping track of the work that i do on this subject on myblog at this post<http://joecodeswell.wordpress.com/2013/11/11/components-for-web2py-html-pages-not-derived-from-layout-html/>. If you or any other web2py-users group members have any comments or suggestions you can share them there or here. As of now i have added 2 comments on the blog to my original post. *1. i looked up web2py component <http://www.web2py.com/book/default/chapter/12#Components-and-plugins>* By def it seems that components communicate with the component controller function via Ajax Therefore the *list of dependencies *must contain ajax stuff. *2. add a new component to list:* navbar – is a complex component containing both *menu *and *auth-login*components. Thanks again for a GREAT framework. Love and peace, Joe On Saturday, November 9, 2013 10:52:49 AM UTC-8, JoeCodeswell wrote: > > Dear web2py Forum, > > Often i find myself making View pages that are NOT derived from > layout.html and yet wanting to include *some *aspects of its capabilities. > > I thought the web2py "Component" concept might help to deliver a modular > approach. > > My initial thoughts would be to pair small CSS files and HTML *Component > definitions* for the following: > > - menu > - login/register > - left sidebar > - right sidebar > - footer > - ajax > - flash response > - mobile > - responsive > > while maintaining a *list of dependencies *among them. > > Has anyone thought about this granular approach before? > > I would *not *want to use *a Wizard* for this, because in my experience, > the generated code is unfamiliar to me and difficult to customize. > > Thanks for a GREAT framework. > > Love and peace, > > Joe > > -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
