Folks, check out my open source Web 2.0 Portal http://www.linksgrid.com; developed using Asp.Net MVC 1.0, Microsoft Ajax Client Templates and jQuery with drag and drop widget personalization. Implementation details are in my blog: http://lakkakula.wordpress.com

Hope this helps for the folks looking for MVC version.

BTW, great job Omar.

I would love to see an ExtJs portal with MVC. A one page model using border layouts. Now that would be something.

i love the way you develop widgets. But how these widget connect together? Do you have any solutions for this? I mean somethings like WebPart sharepoint

Dear Omar:

I found a bug. First I delete the HTML Widget and add HTML Widget again. Then HTML Widget can not become a drag & drop.

I would like to see an MVC version. I am not sure about JQuery. I hope I am not asking too much but if you have two forks, one with JQuery and one without, it will make almost everyone happy. Let us know your future plans.

An interesting bug.

First of all, I'd like to say your portal is verycool. I used it in my project.Recentlly I found an interesting bug in it.

While widget elments are on loading, if my mouse pointer is just hovering on someplace an widet element will appear. This element will became an draggable.

I traced your code, and found the bug alaies in CustomDragDropBehavior.js, line 112.

if( child.className == this._DragItemClassValue && child != this._dropCue)

For at that time, the DIV's class changed to "widget widget_hover", the first equation test will return false.

I too am working on taking the basic idea here and make it work with jquery (not implementing any optimizing tricks yet) but still working with the classic forms model. perhaps then i will create a way to use it with WCSF and have some load time mechanism to expose the available modules to the container for consumption by the application. In theory u should be able to develop a module outside of the main application environment then drop it into the main app and have it up and running after a restart

WidgetContainer.ascx's onmouseover="this.className='widget widget_hover'" will cause widget do drag & drop not work!

Rainmaker — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 05:57:39 GMT

Sir, When first load page, mouse in any widget, then the widget's drag & drop will not work. WidgetContainer.ascx's onmouseover="this.className='widget widget_hover'" will cause widget do drag & drop not work!

If i put absolute positioned element inside a widget and do a drag drop the element is disappearing after dragdrop. It especially happens in IE7. to reproduce just place

Some text here

</div>

In anyone of the widget and do drag drop of that widget.

Do you know any reason why this happens?

Thanks

I Change RSS Widget url as

"www.zdnet.com.tw/.../ent_tech.htm", then the widget's content will display error encoding.

What's the different with "XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(response.GetResponseStream())" and "XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream(), true ))" ?
