Hello list,
the newsletter remembered me that DokuWiki moves to a jQuery JS
implementation. I would have two feature requests/ideas what I already
inserted to the issue list of the dokuwiki-jquery fork mentioned in
the newsletter today. Hope this was the right place.
# Please use JS Loader to insert jQuery and all other stuff [1]
I would suggest to add a Javascript Loader on top. I can suggest
Head.JS as Loader lib but there are a bunch of similar projects,
someone may check out features and licences.
Advantages:
* Separation of PHP/JS logic: e.g. what script is needed when and how
is it inserted, clear distinction between libs, plugins and
configurations. It's also a benefit if PHP and JS components are not
mixed and can developed separately.
* Performance: JS Loaders enable several parallel requests for scripts
(even if newer browsers here better thatn the old ones) what is good
if a lot of Dokuwiki plugins bring own JS scripts
* Other Benefits: most JS Loaders can insert CSS what might be a good
feature for plugin authors, or good for JS components what need
additional CSS styles (e.g. jQuery-UI) what are senseless without JS
Disadvantages:
another 5-10kb to load but this should not be a problem compared to
jQuery+UI with around 200kb
# Add option to use a CDN [2]
It might be a good option if a wiki admin can load jQuery+UI from
another location like a CDN, to improve performance. Possibilities:
* a simple true/false config parameter to use the Google CDN sources
* config parameters to put own URIs in
