Re: multi-column display

[Remi Grumeau]

Well, multi-column was started like…. more than 2 years ago by Sean at an iPhoneWebDev hackathon. 

As far as i remember, a lot of work was still needed on that.

Since iUI makes all sliding navigations based on hash value, having multi-column is very complicated and need some complete refund of the core functions.

I was waiting for v0.5 to try something like splitting hash value with "-" and target different panels.  

A lot of work. It needs to deal with browser history & integrating ajax loaded external panels sounds like mad to think of.

If a skilled Javascript developer wants to work on it, i'd be happy to help, but i have no time to do it by myself atm.

Multi-column display for tablets is mentioned on the iUI home page, but I cannot find any other mention of it. Can someone point me to an example of this and what code is required to accomplish it?

Remi is correct. We started it at iOSDevCamp 2010 and worked on it again at iOSDevCamp 2011.  The best example of the code is the "Mashboard" application.

Demo is here:
http://mikhailxu.github.com/

Sourcecode is here:
https://github.com/mikhailxu/Mashboard

I will be merging this code into the main GitHub repo shortly.

Not necessarily.  If your app can use the left column mostly for navigation and the right column for displaying "leaf" nodes in the tree, then it is not necessary to change the history/hash-value mechanism.

I have some ideas for how to do this, if that is what you need.

I have some time freeing up for this and would also be happy to work with any skilled developers who can contribute.  I have been working with several JavaScript MVC frameworks and believe some form of MVC approach is going to be necessary to build anything more than a trivial two-pane application.

Sean,

Is it possible to put an alphabetical list like this into the LH panel and display document contents on the RH panel?  I would like to display a page of information for each subject in the alphabetical list.

 

Also, is the code you link to in this post a complete set of iUI + your two-panel mod, or is it only the 2-panel mod that must be added in to the latest version of iUI?

 

Regards

Richard
