+ Random notes on Kronolith Ajax view


++ Full-Display events

are loaded via AjaxFramework Handler/getEvent

this calls into shared code to transform the javascript submitted into  
a kronolith event
calls event->toJson for frontend presentation
calls attendee->toJson but adds some transformations

++ Saving an event from Ajax

AjaxFramework saveEvent

$event is initialized from readForm() method
Attendees are scanned for existing and removed



edit.inc includes the mask with both user and attendee fields

++ Autocompleters
There are suggest-as-you-type autocompleters in the create/edit event forms.

ResourceAutocompleter, ContactAutocompleter and UserAutocompleter are  
implemented as so-called Imple's - They are an archaic form of ajax  
framework. We should design replacements for them using  
horde/http_server and horde/routes.

There is some loss/mismatch of information between users/attendees  
restored from a saved event and those newly added through the  
autocompleter. Also, it would be good to have the same window for  
users and "email attendees" as it feels unnatural to users and also  
complicates the backend code.
