Installing Dajax

1. Install dajax

sudo python setup.py install

or

sudo easy_install dajax

2. Add 'dajax' in your project settings.py inside INSTALLED_APPS Ej:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'dajax',
    ...
)

And ensure that TEMPLATE_LOADERS, looks like the following. Probably you need to uncomment the last line.

TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
	'django.template.loaders.filesystem.load_template_source',
	'django.template.loaders.app_directories.load_template_source',
	'django.template.loaders.eggs.load_template_source',
)

3. Create a new var named DAJAX_MEDIA_PREFIX with the prefix you want to store de ajax functions.

DAJAX_MEDIA_PREFIX="dajax"  # Will create http://yourdomain.com/dajax/...

4. Add a new line in urls.py with this code:

(r'^%s/' % settings.DAJAX_MEDIA_PREFIX, include('dajax.urls')),

5. Create a file named 'ajax.py' inside any django app

6. Inside this file create as many as your want ajax functions. Ej:

from dajax.core import Dajax

def assign_test(request):
	dajax = Dajax()
	dajax.assign('#block01 li','innerHTML','Something else...')
	return dajax

7. In your settings.py create a new var named DAJAX_FUNCTIONS , this list will contain the name of all ajax-like callable methods. Ej:

DAJAX_FUNCTIONS = (
	'foo.ajax.assign_test',
	...
)

8. The default JS Framework is Prototype, if you want to use jQuery, mootools or dojo set DAJAX_JS_FRAMEWORK

DAJAX_JS_FRAMEWORK = "jQuery"

or

DAJAX_JS_FRAMEWORK = "Mootols"

or

DAJAX_JS_FRAMEWORK = "Dojo"

9. In your template base load dajax_templatetags :

{% load dajax_templatetags %}

An include the following code inside the header html block.

{% dajax_js_import %}

And ensure that your javascript framwork was included too above (In this case Prototype)

<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/prototype.js"></script>

10. Now you can invoque your ajax methods using Dajax.foo_assign_test(), foo will be the name of the package containing ajax.py Ej:

onclick="Dajax.foo_assign_test();"

11. Enjoy ! ;-)
