Ext.ux.grid.GridViewMenuPlugin

[IT100]

If I view correctly:

Ext.ux.grid.GridViewMenuPlugin at google-code

shows a screenshot of a groupingview... but i can't seem to find the complete example... does it use the livegrid code? As I would love to use your code for my groupingview...

btw: Very nice & impressive work Mindmatters..

Hi Chris,

the grid in the screenshot does indeed use a GroupingView, but it's not build upon the livegrid (though it does work with the livegrid, as I'm using it as a plugin for a livegrid-driven component myself). If you do not need the "grouping"-options in your menu, then yes, you can use the plugin by simply adding it to your "plugins" configuration property. Somewhere on the first page should be a source code example posted by another user.

Considering the feedback the plugin received, the next release ("mystix" milestone ) will be more flexible and I'm currently looking into adapting some controls for grouping functionality. The next release is scheduled for the beginning of next week.

Great! I'll be looking forward to see a working update. (and will licence it)

Keep up the good work & the coffee flowing

Hi Chris,

no need to license it - the Ext.ux.grid.GridViewMenuPlugin is published under the LGPL and should be fully compliant with the Ext JS license & their FLOSS exceptions!

just a heads up -- menu.css has been updated in SVN, so the _beforeColMenuShow() code needs to be altered slightly, like so:

    _beforeColMenuShow : function(menu) {
        this._view.beforeColMenuShow.call(this, menu);

        // menu title tweak
        this.colMenu.insert(0, new Ext.menu.Separator());
        this.colMenu.insert(0, new Ext.menu.TextItem({
            text: String.format(
                '<img src="{0}" class="x-menu-item-icon x-cols-icon" />{1}',
                Ext.BLANK_IMAGE_URL,
                this._view.columnsText
            ),
            style: 'line-height:16px;padding:3px 21px 3px 27px;'
        }));
    }

>Secondly, why do you completely disallow enableHdMenu:true? I think you should only >disallow enableColumnHide:true.

Again, it's by design. As stated above, there is only either/or: Use the default hdMenu, or use the plugin to use the original-hdmenu in the upper right of the grid.[/quote]

Hello MindPatterns,

I would like to have both menus, too! If theres technically and logically nothing to say against it, why would you want to prevent it?
It would be useful for example when you have other plugins like columnfilters in hd-menu of columns and this plugin for column-show/hide menu on the right.

Your use case is completely different from mine, but that doesn't mean I want to prevent such an implementation.

However, I'm still busy with the build tools for conjoon, so it could take a while until I come back to this ux.

+1 for the simultaneous use of existing HdMenu alongside the excellent column menu ux. Not putting pressure on MP!

It would be great if this plugin would basically accept a custom menu structure. We have grid features like the following:
(a) Filter bar- filter fields appear below column headers
(b) column view bar - allows user to quickly switch between groups of columns

we want to use this grid menu plugin so that it gives us the ability to anchor the icon, drop a menu etc...but the menus we want are Filter (on/off), Column view features such as New View, Delete view etc..that we will handle.

Is it possible to extend this plugin to display our own menu or does it only support column hide/show?

0.2RC1 is available from the repository.

The plugin does now support GroupingViews. See the changelog on the first page for more information.
