Porting to echo3 - which Tree implementation ?
Wed, 05/26/2010 - 01:15 — amf002
Hello,
I'm trying to port application from echo2 to echo3.
The application bases on epng Tree implementation, the Tree is main component, used a lot in the application.
Could you please advice, which way is better to go:
- try to port to the new echo extras Tree implementation, or
- try to port to the echopoint implementation of the Tree?
Which of the implementations would be better to select from the porting perspective?

Porting your code to the
Porting your code to the extras tree should be the easiest option. If you decide to port the EPNG tree, I would recommend you implement a more modern and powerful component like the jQuery tree.
JSTree
The echo3 Extras Tree is fine but functional limited. If you really want something mind-blowing you better port a fully-fledged component like JSTree (http://www.jstree.com/). It takes some time for sure, but your customers will be happy and the echo3 community as well.
In our project we ported the flexigrid (http://sanderkorvemaker.nl/test/flexigrid/) component (jquery plugin). EchoPoint NG contains examples how to plugin a jquery plugin.
By the way, we will soon modularize the echopoint ng project and contribute this component as well as a jquery DatePicker. So stay tuned.
Cheers,
Oliver
