Hello,

I would suggest this if some of them are not already done :

1. Php examples (tree generation from database for example)
2. read XML from server
3. Skin and CSS customization
4. Possibility in the Cooljs Builder to change value for an entry concerning style, action, images... actually it seems that these changes are for all entries
5. Dynamic loading like exposed here http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/xloadtree/xloadtree.html

What happen on a dynamic tree when the SaveState property is on ? " your tree "remembers" its state when closed and restores it back when opened. With that the next time you open a tree it looks exactly the same as you have closed it. Cookies are used for saving of the tree state."

but what happens when order of entries change ?


Regards

We have some PHP samples. But we send them only to our regidtered users that own Professional versions by email.

Our scripts don't support it, yet.

3. Skin and CSS customization
Also, no support for this feature.

Actually, you can apply different images for every item, as well as different styles. And what do you mean talking about "actions"?

Well, also not supported.

When the order of items change, the state of the tree saves incorrect. It is because "cookies" and "dynamic" features are not compatible.

Thank you for your suggestion. We'll keep it in mind. And we'll try to introduce them in our future releases.

I mean url, target, action script, such things

I'm not yet sure of that, maybe with unique id for each entry, there is something to do but i agree it would be heavier and slower.

I also think of :

5. Dynamic loading like exposed here http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/xloadtree/xloadtree.html
6. Checkbox like http://www.blueshoes.org/_bsJavascript/components/tree/examples/example3.html
7. Drag & drop like http://www.blueshoes.org/_bsJavascript/components/tree/examples/example9.html
8. Radio button like http://www.blueshoes.org/_bsJavascript/components/tree/examples/example8.html

You are right about this, because all the informations is stored in cookies. And it would be right to give a unique id to every node. And someone could manage them on the server. Probably, we'll add this feature in future.

Probably, we will also add support for checkboxes and radio buttons.

Well, drag&drop feature is rather complex. Especially cross-platform drag&drop.Will try to add support for this, but it won't be soon.

Thank you again for your suggestions. They are all appreciated. We try to improve our scripts in any way it is possible. But some features are not very simple to implement. And the more features the script supports, the heavier becomes it's code. And most people need just the basic features packed into smaller amount of code. So, we will keep in mind all of them, but we can't give any certain schedule.

Maybe having a look on the blueshoes solution and sitebar solution could help

I agree, as the code is improved in terms of functionnalities, code become heavier, that's an evident problem. I think that there is only one solution for satisfaying everone which is an extra amount of work, maybe a rewrite, hoping partial : by using cooljs builder, the user chooses what kind of functionalities he wants, so the "weight" of the script generated, so the optimization he wants or does not want. Xavier in its program dhtml menu builder (xfx.net) managed things like this.

For the others things eventually difficult to be done, having a loog on CodeThatTree Pro http://www.codethat.com/javascript-tree.html could help.

Thank you for your advices and suggestions. The only difficulty I see is that we don't have enough programmers. But we'll try to overcome this problem, and new features will be ready eventually. Our high priority task now is stability of existing releases.
