Graphite

extjs version requirement

Asked by Steve Brunton

Which version of extjs should be used with Graphite? With both 2.3.0 and 3.0.0 there is no 'adapter/prototype/prototype.js' or 'adapter/prototype/scriptaculous.js' in the release. The composer.html template looks there for these javascript libraries. If I change the template to look for prototype in '/content/js/window/prototype.js' and scriptaculous in '/content/js/scriptaculous/scriptaculous.js' the 404 errors go away when attempting to load /composer/? but now I see JavaScript errors of "Ext.menu.ColorItem is not a constructor" for "var colorPicker = new Ext.menu.ColorItem({hideOnClick: false});" so the composer frame never renders.

The CLI browser interface loads and works fine.

This is in both Safari 4.0.2 and Firefox 3.5.1 on a PPC Mac running OSX 10.5.7.

For the current release of Graphite, 0.9.4, you should use Ext 2.2. However I am making some changes for the next release. In particular I am removing the prototype and scriptaculous dependencies in favor of using pure Ext 3.0. The next Graphite release will also come with Ext 3 bundled as I recently found out that they have an open source license exemption that would apply to Graphite (otherwise I could not because Ext is licensed under the GPL and Graphite uses the Apache license).

That's just because prototype/scriptaculous is not bundled with 3.0

Download it and add the files.

@Animal .. Thanks I tried that both with ext-3.0 and ext-2.3.0 already .. copied the prototype and scriptaculous from the content/js/ directories in 0.9.4 into the adapter directory of ExtJS and ext-3.0 gave the JavaScript error mentioned above and while ext-2.3.0 would render the composer frame with the left hand nav tree, but nothing else would show up.

@chrismd .. Thanks. I worked the download url on the ExtJS site a little and got 2.2.1 .. The composer frame now renders with the tree on the left, and a graphite composer window although the tree doesn't work. I see the AJAX request go out and JSON return with unordered lists getting inserted into the DOM it just doesn't render properly. I'll play with it some more.
