This extension provides drop-in replacements using Preside's Sticker asset management system: | Legacy Library | Replacement | Description | |----------------|-------------|-------------| | jQuery 2.2.5 | **JQNext** | jQuery 2.x API compatible, modern ES6+ internals | | Bootstrap 3 JS | **SandalJS** | Bootstrap 3 API compatible, powered by JQNext | ## How It Works Preside uses Sticker for asset management where each asset has a unique ID. This extension registers assets using the **same IDs** as core Preside: - `/js/admin/lib/jquery/` → JQNext (replaces jQuery) - `/js/admin/lib/bootstrap/` → SandalJS (replaces Bootstrap JS) When loaded, Sticker's override mechanism ensures the modern libraries are used throughout the admin interface. All existing Preside JavaScript continues to work without modification. ## Benefits ### Smaller Bundle Size Both libraries leverage native browser APIs, resulting in significantly smaller file sizes. ### Modern Browser APIs - **Web Animation API** - Smooth 60fps animations - **Fetch API** - Modern AJAX with Promises - **WeakMap** - Memory-efficient data storage - **Intersection Observer** - Efficient scroll-based features ### Full Compatibility - jQuery 2.x API - All methods, selectors, and patterns work unchanged - jQuery UI 1.11.x - Full widget factory support - Bootstrap 3 components - Modal, Dropdown, Tooltip, Collapse, etc. - Preside-specific - `window.presideJQuery` automatically set ### Future-Proof No legacy IE polyfills, ES6+ classes, native Promises, tree-shakeable modules. ## Modern + Legacy: Best of Both Worlds JQNext enables Preside developers to gradually adopt modern JavaScript patterns while maintaining full compatibility with existing jQuery-based code. This means you can: **Mix Modern and Legacy Patterns** ```javascript // Legacy jQuery patterns continue to work $('.widget').on('click', function() { $(this).fadeIn(); }); // Modern patterns work alongside $('.widget').on('click', async function() { const response = await fetch('/api/data'); const data = await response.json(); $(this).html(data.content); }); ``` **Use Native Promises with jQuery AJAX** ```javascript // JQNext's $.ajax() returns a native Promise-compatible object const data = await $.getJSON('/api/endpoint'); // Or use Fetch directly alongside jQuery DOM manipulation const response = await fetch('/api/endpoint'); $('.container').html(await response.text()); ``` **Leverage Modern APIs in Existing Code** ```javascript // JQNext uses WeakMap internally, preventing memory leaks in long-running SPAs $('.dynamic-content').data('instance', complexObject); // No need to manually clean up - garbage collected automatically // Animation uses Web Animation API for better performance $('.element').animate({ opacity: 0.5 }, 300); // Runs on compositor thread, won't block main thread ``` **Incremental Migration Path** - Start with this extension as a drop-in replacement - Write new code using modern JavaScript patterns - Existing Preside admin customisations continue to work - Gradually refactor legacy code as time permits ## Installation ```bash box install preside-ext-jsmodern ``` ## Requirements - Preside CMS 10.x or later - Modern browsers (Chrome 60+, Firefox 55+, Safari 12+, Edge 79+) ## Included Libraries ### JQNext Full jQuery 2.x API compatibility: - Selectors including `:visible`, `:hidden`, `:eq(n)`, etc. - DOM traversal and manipulation - Events with delegation and namespacing - Effects: `fadeIn()`, `slideUp()`, `animate()`, etc. - AJAX: `$.ajax()`, `$.get()`, `$.post()` - Utilities: `$.extend()`, `$.Deferred()`, etc. - jQuery UI widget factory support ### SandalJS Bootstrap 3 JavaScript components: - Modal, Dropdown, Tooltip, Popover - Tab, Collapse, Alert, Button - Carousel, Scrollspy, Affix - Full data-attribute API support ## Browser Support Modern browsers with ES6+ support. Legacy IE is intentionally not supported. ## License MIT ## Credits - **JQNext** by Pixl8 Group Limited https://github.com/pixl8/JQNext - **SandalJS** by Pixl8 Group Limited https://github.com/pixl8/SandalJS - Built for [Preside CMS](https://www.preside.org/) https://www.forgebox.io/view/preside-ext-jsmodern Tue, 27 Oct 2026 17:41:10 GMT preside-extensions https://www.forgebox.io/view/preside-ext-jsmodern Powerful and fluent image manipulation module for BoxLang with extensive built-in functions https://www.forgebox.io/view/bx-image Mon, 19 Oct 2026 21:57:30 GMT boxlang-modules https://www.forgebox.io/view/bx-image LogBox is an enterprise ColdFusion logging library designed to give you flexibility and scalability. https://www.forgebox.io/view/logbox Tue, 13 Oct 2026 12:07:33 GMT logging https://www.forgebox.io/view/logbox AOP and Dependency Injection Framework https://www.forgebox.io/view/wirebox Tue, 13 Oct 2026 12:07:22 GMT di https://www.forgebox.io/view/wirebox CacheBox is an enterprise caching engine, aggregator and API for ColdFusion applications. https://www.forgebox.io/view/cachebox Tue, 13 Oct 2026 12:07:11 GMT caching https://www.forgebox.io/view/cachebox A conventions based HMVC development framework https://www.forgebox.io/view/bx-coldbox Tue, 13 Oct 2026 12:06:59 GMT boxlang-modules https://www.forgebox.io/view/bx-coldbox A conventions based HMVC development framework https://www.forgebox.io/view/coldbox Tue, 13 Oct 2026 12:06:47 GMT mvc https://www.forgebox.io/view/coldbox Type 4 JDBC driver for MariaDB https://www.forgebox.io/view/F2FA5DB2-0C27-499C-B1171D2D812FDAF9 Tue, 27 Oct 2026 11:23:36 GMT lucee-extensions https://www.forgebox.io/view/F2FA5DB2-0C27-499C-B1171D2D812FDAF9 A BDD and xUnit testing framework with Mocking Goodness https://www.forgebox.io/view/testbox Fri, 16 Oct 2026 14:26:18 GMT testing https://www.forgebox.io/view/testbox Enhances the Hibernate ORM on CFML Engines with tons of utilities. https://www.forgebox.io/view/orm4cf Mon, 26 Oct 2026 21:42:59 GMT modules https://www.forgebox.io/view/orm4cf A protocol-based queueing system for ColdBox https://www.forgebox.io/view/cbq Sun, 25 Oct 2026 20:50:40 GMT modules https://www.forgebox.io/view/cbq A query builder for the rest of us https://www.forgebox.io/view/qb Sun, 25 Oct 2026 20:47:58 GMT modules https://www.forgebox.io/view/qb Native BoxLang datasource support for XTDB. https://www.forgebox.io/view/bx-xtdb Sun, 25 Oct 2026 01:57:20 GMT boxlang-modules https://www.forgebox.io/view/bx-xtdb A protocol-based library for sending Notifications in ColdBox https://www.forgebox.io/view/megaphone Sun, 25 Oct 2026 00:03:53 GMT modules https://www.forgebox.io/view/megaphone A per-application .env for ColdBox apps that share one CFML engine with other sites.

You have multiple instances of the same dashboard, but with different instance data 2. You have multiple instances of the same widget within your dashboard, but with different hard coded config values For this you can use the `contextData` arg to `renderAdminDashboard` and/or individual widgets: ```cfc // example 1 #renderAdminDashboard( dashboardId = "mainAdminDashboard" , widgets = [ "latestNews", "topStories", "yourTasks" ] , columnCount = 3 , contextData = { recordId=prc.recordId } )# // example 2 #renderAdminDashboard( dashboardId = "mainAdminDashboard" , columnCount = 3 , widgets = [ { id="stats", contextData={ object="event" }, ajax=false, configInstanceId="event" }, { id="stats", contextData={ object="news" }, ajax=false, configInstanceId="news" } ] )# ``` Notice how, in example 2, each widget is a `struct`. Widgets can either be passed as a simple string to represent the widget ID, or as a struct with the following keys: * `id`: The widget ID * `contextData`: Widget specific struct of data that will be passed to the widget render * `ajax`: Whether or not to use ajax to render the widget (default true) * `configInstanceId`: String to identify, along with the dashboard ID and user ID, a unique set of configuration options for the widget ## Creating dashboard widgets An admin dashboard widget is created in three parts; a handler for rendering a widget and running any custom permissioning logic, an i18n properties file for labels and icons, and a preside form for providing any user editable config for the widget. For example, if you had a widget called `latestNews`, you would have the following files: ``` /i18n/admin/admindashboards/widget/latestNews.properties /forms/admin/admindashboards/widget/latestNews.xml /handlers/admin/admindashboards/widget/LatestNews.cfc ``` And they might look like this: ```properties // /i18n/admin/admindashboards/widget/latestNews.properties title=Latest news description=See below for latest news articles for you to read. iconClass=fa-newspaper orange field.category.title=Category ``` ```xml // /forms/admin/admindashboards/widget/latestNews.xml ``` ```cfc // /handlers/admin/admindashboards/widget/LatestNews.cfc component { // You MUST implement a render() method with which to render // the content private string function render( event, rc, prc, args={} ) { args.latestNews = getModel( "newsService" ).getLatestNews( category = args.config.category ?: "" // args.config is the user configured config from the config form , featured = IsTrue( args.contextData.featured ?: "" ) // args.contextData is any data passed in renderAdminDashboard() call ); return renderView( view="/admin/admindashboards/widgets/latestNews", args=args ); } // An OPTIONAL permissions checking handler that returns true or false private boolean function hasPermission( event, rc, prc, args={} ) { return true; } // An OPTIONAL handler to render additional top right 'menu items' in the widget private string function additionalMenu( event, rc, prc, args={} ) { var addLink = event.buildAdminLink( objectName="news_item", operation="addRecord" ); return ' '; } } ``` ## What's next We've created this extension with what we feel is the bare minimum functionality for a first release. Obvious features that are lacking: * Ability for a dashboard to have _optional_ widgets that users can add to a dashboard if they want * Ability for a dashboard user to drag items around and configure them the way they like * Ability for a dashboard user to save a dashboard configuration and share it with other users If you're keen on helping out with ideas or code, do get in touch! https://www.forgebox.io/view/preside-ext-admin-dashboards Wed, 21 Oct 2026 07:51:31 GMT preside-extensions https://www.forgebox.io/view/preside-ext-admin-dashboards # Chart.js for Preside https://www.forgebox.io/view/preside-ext-chart-js Wed, 21 Oct 2026 05:02:47 GMT preside-extensions https://www.forgebox.io/view/preside-ext-chart-js Stripe CFML is a CFML (Lucee and ColdFusion) library for interacting with the Stripe API. https://www.forgebox.io/view/stripecfml Tue, 20 Oct 2026 23:28:39 GMT modules https://www.forgebox.io/view/stripecfml https://www.forgebox.io/view/adobe Tue, 20 Oct 2026 21:27:04 GMT cf-engines https://www.forgebox.io/view/adobe A utility to manage passwords for Lucee and Railo server installs. https://www.forgebox.io/view/lucee-password-util Tue, 20 Oct 2026 20:40:52 GMT modules https://www.forgebox.io/view/lucee-password-util A Coldbox Module which automatically generates api documentation from your configured SES routes https://www.forgebox.io/view/cbswagger Mon, 19 Oct 2026 21:59:38 GMT modules https://www.forgebox.io/view/cbswagger Run Rack and Ruby framework applications in BoxLang. https://www.forgebox.io/view/bx-jruby-rack Sat, 17 Oct 2026 21:57:18 GMT boxlang-modules https://www.forgebox.io/view/bx-jruby-rack Run Ruby code in BoxLang with JRuby, explicit bindings, and reusable sessions. https://www.forgebox.io/view/bx-jruby Sat, 17 Oct 2026 21:46:33 GMT boxlang-modules https://www.forgebox.io/view/bx-jruby
