[opencms-dev] using A_CmsListDialog, where is all the JavaScript?

[Alexander Wallace]

Hi! I'm sooo glad to see this response.... My intention is to figure out how 
to creat GUIs inside of opencms for administration of custom features (app 
specific features).... So, if i'm able to figure it all out, we will 
certainly use CmsDialog and its peers a lot.

Indeed i'm displaying the dialog as you indicate in your response, and it 
displays and pulls my data correctly, but none of the actions work... It can 
be related to the fact that the parts to display the help are missing... 
Because, when i click on, let's say the "delete" icon, i get the confirmation 
dialog with the right text, however, when i click OK, a JavasCript error is 
generated, complaining that "hMH" is not defined, which is the same error 
that i get when i mouse over many of the action icons.

As a quick hack to see if i could get that JS in, i created a frameset like 
the ones used in the Administration area (ie: accounts), and tho i get the 
Admin menu, and it's own help works, my dialog still has the same issues...

I'll try to figure out where/what is doing that for the admin menu and not for 
my dialog, but if you have suggestions, that would be wonderful...

My hope is that i can reuse all this GUI tools and that at one pont it will 
take me less time to make UI using them than with no framework... You think 
this is possible?

Thanks!
