Hi all,

What about a sort of Toolbox for extension developper that would contain a serie of mini-tutorial, mostly tips and tricks for extension developper.

I'm asking this following a discussion with Tim, about the fact that when I develop extension I losed time to package/install any time I change something to the code.

Tim told me that if I set up my site to point to the DW configuration directory I wouldn't need anymore to package/install any more. What a useful trick, but how would I have known that it was possible ?

Another example is the mmparameterlist of Macromedia that isn't documented anywhere...

Everytime you find something useful or that something is being discussed on the talkzone, it could be part of it.

Bruno,

it is up to developers like you and me to collect these data. We have a special FAQs section for Extension Developers. Feel free to post any tips and tricks there (you can do this by clicking the Add New button in the correct section when you are logged in).

So it's taken me months to figure this out, but here's my awesome program:

Javascript:
&lt;SCRIPT language="javascript" src="../Shared/MM/Scripts/Class/GridControlClass.js"&gt;

//---------------------------
function LoadList()
{
var GridList = new GridControl("ParamList";
var testlist = new Array(1);
testlist[0]= new Array(1);
testlist[1] = new Array(1);
testlist[0][0] = "hello 00";
testlist[0][1] = "hello 01";
testlist[1][0] = "hello 10";
testlist[1][1] = "hello 11";
GridList.setContents(testlist);
//GridList.append('Hello,hi');
}
&lt;/script&gt;

HTML code:

&lt;select type="mmparameterlist" name="ParamList" columns="URLs,Report Name "style="width:400px" size="6" &gt;
&lt;/select&gt;


Take that Dreamweaver/Adobe...your documenatation is awesome except for this one really cool tool!
