BluePrint for the S3 Framework ¶

This area is to develop & enhance the S3 Framework wich is built on top of T2/Web2Py.

Current framework features are documented here: DeveloperGuidelinesSahana3Framework

Sub-menus ¶

Currently the left-hand navbar has only 2 levels of hierarchy: Modules & Module Options
Some modules (e.g. DVI) need more.
This is also discussed in the BluePrintCSS

MVC Separation ¶

Whilst Web2Py is fundamentally an MVC framework, it makes it encourages pushing back as much as possible into the Controller, Model or even Module to gain the benefits of re-use of code & massively simplified prototyping.

If we think this could become problematic then we could choose to avoid this.

There is already support in the framework for this:

• Manual Forms
• Form Field fragments: e.g. views/form_name.html

Q: Is it worth developing a version of the RESTful controller which uses Manual Forms instead of T2?
