Ajax comes to Blueprint
Rejoice Blueprint users for Tim has brought the glory of Ajax to the main blueprint page.
Now we can update the following without reloading the primary page:
- title – the H1 heading
- summary
- whiteboard
- assignee
- drafter
- approver
- priority
- implementation status
- definition status
Using the new custom events that the page raises when the context object changes (using YUI magic and API PATCH requests), when you change the title of the blueprint, the document title (title bar) and the breadcrumbs also change. When the implementation status is updated, the overall status updates, and the “started by” and “completed by” are shown or hidden as appropriate.
This is work that I’ve wanted to see done for almost a year, and recent other changes I’ve done adding more widget wrappers and javascript goodness have made this possible without adding copious amounts of custom javascript.
A side-effect of these changes is that there are now more fields exported over the API for blueprints.
