Question thread #32

[pauamma]

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

Okay! I will do some research, because for someone who has been making webpages since like... 2000, there is a lot of internal stuff I actually know very little about, haha.

Have fun!?Feel free to holler at any future time too.

Oops shouldn't have been a question mark there! Silly mobile phones and reply by email ;)

well, it does convey the mix of excitement and trepidation I feel XD

Do we have any pages converted to TT that feature a lot of user-interaction elements? I'm kind of brainstorming how best to change /customize and it's hideous widget mess. If I'm understanding it right, the TT page = the view = what the user sees and interacts with, and that calls various bits of perl, which = the controller, and then the model is data stored in db or temp memory (the trickiest part of the new style search is 'we need to save the search results somewhere, until the user closes the page' and I'm not sure where)

Hmm, the best example is probably the new user entry page.

Okay! I'll go code-hunting for that, then.
