Random notes on Kronolith Ajax view

Full-Display events

are loaded via AjaxFramework? Handler/getEvent

this calls into shared code to transform the javascript submitted into a kronolith event
calls event->toJson for frontend presentation
calls attendee->toJson but adds some transformations

Saving an event from Ajax

AjaxFramework? saveEvent

$event is initialized from readForm() method
Attendees are scanned for existing and removed

edit.inc includes the mask with both user and attendee fields

Autocompleters

There are suggest-as-you-type autocompleters in the create/edit event forms.

ResourceAutocompleter?, ContactAutocompleter? and UserAutocompleter? are implemented as so-called Imple's - They are an archaic form of ajax framework. We should design replacements for them using horde/http_server and horde/routes.

There is some loss/mismatch of information between users/attendees restored from a saved event and those newly added through the autocompleter. Also, it would be good to have the same window for users and "email attendees" as it feels unnatural to users and also complicates the backend code.
