So on my wish list would be ability to upload a javascript file.

Any thoughts or plans on allowing this ability?

Thanks,

Jet

   Hi Jet,

   Yes that's something we've been thinking about too. Would a "javascript editor" that allowed you to edit some javascript right inside the app-editor be enough? I'm guessing maybe not, as you would want to upload some libraries such as lightbox etc.

   What is it specifically you are trying to achieve?

   You mentioned this not showing up on the wishlist - do you mean this page? http://bambuu.uservoice.com
   It would be good if you added your request over there (it's a separate service). I'd be interested to see how many people want the same.

   Thanks very much

   Tom

   Hi Tom,

   I did not mean for this discussion to be going on here, will put my suggestion up on the wish list. Must not have paid attention to where I was posting.

   Anyway, uploading a library is more what I had in mind. My interest is to be able to
   upload small javascript files for animated drop down menu, and yes I was also thinking about the lightbox library.
   

   I noticed that there is a built in for doing image uploads. Is that Paperclip?

   Another lib is responds_to_parent, which allowed me to do an image upload and have it be displayed on current page with AJAX.

   Just tried playing with bambuu some today, and was receiving numerous
   errors: server unavailable, front page error in Action Controller. Will report
   back if this continues.

   Thanks,

   Jet

   The issue is going to be what you need to do next. In a way Bambuu gives you "complete solutions" rather than the parts that you build solutions from. For example we use the Rakismet plugin to give Akismet spam control on comments, but the Bambuu user doesn't see that, they just see "Comments" as an entity add-on.

   So, what is your animated drop-down menu going to do? Or are you trying to animate a menu that's already there?

   A lightbox widget is definitely on the list.

   Yes we're using Paperclip behind the scenes too.

   And sorry about the continuing errors - we're gradually tracking them all down

   Thanks for keeping the feedback coming!

   Animated drop down menu slowly drops down and fades in. It contains a list of:

   1) Fields from database (i.e. Architect Names) that can be clicked on to bring up
   

    a page of thumbnails of projects that Architect has done. 
   The thumbnails in turn can be clicked to bring up the page for that project.
   

   2) Actions that would:
   

   a)  Display a div by making it visible.
   b)  Display a div after an AJAX request.
   

   3) List of links to other pages that could be clicked and navigated to.

   Here is the web application that i have just about completed, thanks to all the good people at Hobo Users:

   PADHouses.com
   

   Thanks,

   Jet

   I think this would have to be done as a widget that handled the whole behaviour as you've described. It will be quite a while before we get round to such specific widgets, but you're welcome to vote for it!
