How to build a customized Dojo package

In the commands below, $VERSION is the Dojo release version, e.g. 0.4.1.
Browse http://svn.dojotoolkit.org/dojo/tags for possible values.

The only place where we still use Dojo is in the backend admistration's tree widget. We plan to phase out Dojo eventually in favor of Yahoo UI or RichFaces widgets.

• Checkout the dojo source tree (see http://dojotoolkit.org/developers/), e.g.
  svn co http://svn.dojotoolkit.org/dojo/tags/release-$VERSION.
• copy flexive.profile.js from the source tree to buildscripts/profiles
• cd buildscripts
• ant -Dversion=$VERSION -Dprofile=flexive clean release zip
• copy the resulting release/dojo_$VERSION.zip file to src/ui/shared/resources/lib/dojo/dojo-flexive.zip.

Context Menu IE7 fix

In the standard Dojo 0.4.1 build, the context menu is opened at the wrong position in IE7. To fix this, you have to remove the lines

if(iframe){
	var cood = dojo.html.abs(iframe, true);
	x += cood.x - dojo.withGlobal(win, dojo.html.getScroll).left;
	y += cood.y - dojo.withGlobal(win, dojo.html.getScroll).top;
}

in src/widget/Menu2.js (approx. line 300) (see Dojo Bug 2317)

"Cannot execute code from freed script" IE7 fix

Dojo's addOnUnload methods sometimes seems to trigger too late and leads to this error in IE7. To solve this, apply the workaround from http://tc2tc.mojolingo.xuite.net/m2m-0400/trac.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/3697:

1/ In src/event/common.js, line 313:

REPLACE

mjp.kwAddAdvice(ao);

BY

try { mjp.kwAddAdvice(ao); } catch (e) { return null; }

2/ In src/event/common.js, line 452:

REPLACE

mjp.removeAdvice(ao.adviceObj, ao.adviceFunc, ao.adviceType, ao.once);

BY

try { mjp.removeAdvice(ao.adviceObj,ao.adviceFunc,ao.adviceType,ao.once); } catch (e) { return null; }

3/ In src/widget/PopupContainer.js, line 376

SURROUND THE BLOCK lines 376-382 WITH

try { if(win.PopupManagerRegistered){ dojo.event.disconnect(win.document,"onmousedown",this,"onClick"); dojo.event.disconnect(win,"onscroll",this,"onClick"); dojo.event.disconnect(win.document,"onkey",this,"onKey"); win.PopupManagerRegistered=false; } } catch (e) {}
