Comment on Why Plone architecture must change by David Mendez

At last! Someone makes sense of this Plone business. I’m having so much trouble making the simpliest of things, and since there is no real standard or a complete and reliable architecture reference I don’t understand part of what I’m doing. You are so right that Plone 4 should be rethought and made a lot more carefully. I applaude you!

Comment on How to add a fixed table header with a vertical scrollbar in content by Mark Malek

I’ve had a really tough time at work building proper tables that have a fixed header and scrolling tbody that work in IE6, IE7, IE8, FF and Safari. We display lots of data both rows and columns.

My solution for all this was spending about two weeks to write my own jQuery plugin. It does everything you need it to and very easily. To use it all you need to do is setup a table using valid HTML. (table tag, thead, tbody, etc) and the plugin will set up the table for you so that your header is fixed. There is also the optional fixed footer that can either be a clone of the header or something entirely different.

you can check it out here: http://fixedheadertable.mmalek.com

hope this helps any of you that have had the same issue! I’ve been finding that its a very common issue and there aren’t that many good working solutions. I tried RicoLive Grid but that was a disaster!

eduCommons has a home page here:

There is a demo available here (although the demo is not the latest version, at the moment):

Also, Connexions is an implementation of Rhaptos, which is redeployable. The current version is based on Plone 2.5:

I have never heard about Connexions. It seems more to be an implementation of OCW or OER than a project on which we can build another one.

It is amazing how a not plone related article can be read and used years after its creation.
The main idea was to deal with IE7 and Firefox 2 only.
