application extjs

[cris23]

hello everybody,

first, a brief introduction: my name is cris, i'm from germany and i'm a programmer trying to code a rather big application with php. i found extjs and thought it would be very useful for my purpose.

1st question:

the application i'm writing is something like a cms. i now have a menu in extjs and it looks great, but i dont know how to go on.

in this menu there are more than one applications (full applications i would say) like a "program" to manage adresses, a "program" to manage articles and so on.

what would be the best way to get going?

either

code everything with handlers on the menu items, which on their part create a window with the elements i need (grid, forms, ...)

or

put a iframe in "center" position and start single applications from there (here ill have a problem with the programs interacting)

or

...?



i hope you get what im trying to say and can help me!


thanks in advance,

cris23


ps: for more information on what im trying to do just ask, in the meantime i try to get a livedemo page up...

The way I approached this was to implement each module as a self-contained Panel, and then to have a container (TabPanel) where these modules could be added and removed as needed.

I think the first thing to do is learn about the Component and the container models, then learn the layout models as you need them.
