Thoughts on webapp framework.

Webapp framework thoughts.

  1. The {webproperty=True} compiler directive for properties makes the code look ugly. I'd much prefer a WebProperty command.
  2. The Code for a page is too long. Add a couple of forms and some web labels and you're running at 50 lines of code when you should only really have 5 lines.
  3. default Session and User Management needs the facility to enable/disable a flag.
  4. Forward & Back Button.
  5. There should be user management (reset password, etc) built into the default apps.
  6. Trying to change a table (e.g. for weborders) doesn't tell you to stop the web app.
  7. Where's my pre-processor step. Jeez.
  8. More standard components. (e.g. links, hero units, error messages)
  9. Large text sections - what's the preferred method for dealing with this? We could do with either a template class or multiline strings.
  10. Better instructions for putting labels on top of forms by default.
  11. Placing button next to form with top label doesn't push button down.
  12. Be nice to have a cWebButtonBlock - This would contain multiple buttons.
  13. Be nice to have fixed classes of buttons (error, link, normal, blue and green)
  14. cWebToolBar - how do we float text to the right.
  15. Pulling Dataflex Engine from a CDN
