The form validator rocks ! It’s exactly what I was looking for

In theory, yes, an editor is something that we should add to -more. Adding plugins to the repository means more than just sending us code. At the moment, we’re looking for people who want to get involved - and that means writing docs, tests, fixing bugs, and submitting plugins. If you want to get involved, all you gotta do is dive in. Check out git, fix bugs, run tests, whatever.

Love it. Now, just to get my head round GitHub...

I'm just one of many that have got a text editor based on the original Inviz version - is this something that could make it into More eventually? If so, I'm more than happy to contribute my code for perusal.

Big thanks to all the MooTools developers too for the awesome framework - and now it's even awesomer!

Mooooooooo!

@ben - what required parts? You choose which parts you want and the builder includes everything you need… The whole point is that you only download what you need.

Nice work.

It'd be nice if Mootools developers could link to the "more download" page with the required parts auto-checked rather than having to list all of 'em in a document.

@DrMushroom, More is modular, which means that you can take only the parts you need. If you need a FormValidator, we have one now (you can always write your own!). If you need Accordion, it’s still there. It’s up to you how large your download is.

I use mootools since the early version and I really love it for many reasons. It’s modular, compact, Objet Oriented and it rocks. But i dont understand the recent move of the More. If we consider the More as an extension of the Core (and this is probably the point), I understand all extensions to be in it but what about tips, accordion or slider that are more look like ui components? And now the FormValidator that is going to make the More even bigger! In my opinion, MooTools should stay compact and by the way, will be more maintainable. Less is More, isn’t it?

Another step filling the gaps with jQuery. I’m very happy. :)

Ok just found another bug with the downloader. When getting the compressed version or -more, the first line (copyright line) is not marked as comment (no //). So it leads directly to an error!

Hi, I come back now. I found a project in google about mootools’ doc. The URL is http://code.google.com/p/mootools-doc-cn/. It just makes the doc into chinese. If you like it, I hope you can improve it and put it into mootools.net worldwild worldsite.Thank so much.

Haven’t had time to work on it yet, but perhaps tonight.

Thats good to know! Glad its not actually gown so much which would be horrible! Any success in addressing the issue yet? Thanks to everyone who is working on this!

This is fantastic - I’m thrilled to see the form manipulation plugins, especially the setting caret/cursor extensions… This should make my autocomplete + autosuggest work soooo much easier!! I can dump all my crazy workarounds and go the MooTools way! Thank you so much!

@Laisvunas Mocha UI is really nice and we have a lot of respect for all that work. But MooTools has its own design principals and they are different than those for Mocha or jxLIB. Further Mocha is free to use but isn't open sourced. It is a copyrighted work. jxLIB is all based on pngs and similar layout practices. MooTools ART was sort of a draft for what we're working on now. At its heart, it's a MooTools-like API for canvas, which is just very different than Mocha or jxLIB. That said, we love that other people are out there releasing code for UI work. We hope to launch a plugin forge here sometime this year that will allow these authors to promote their work on MooTools.net.

@Wolax, After looking into it, it looks like the download page has a bug - it's including all of MooTools Core regardless of whether or not you want it. I'll try and address that quickly.
