First, let me thank you for all your appreciation. The concept of making ExtJS based WP Theme is rather controversial, thus your appreciation places all of you on my side. Thank you. Now let me answer a couple of your questions and comments. Most of my answers shall start from the following: “This is true… I am working on it…”.
The first release of Ext JS Wordpress Theme is ready. Please go to Download Page, get the theme, try it by yourself and let me know how I can improve it. Check all the features and inform me about its bugs. Al thought I have try my best the software should be treated as an alpha release thus try to be forgiving.
The major feature of Ext JS Wordpress Theme are:
Makes use of beautiful ExtJS styles;
Makes use of real application ExtJS layout;
Uses Ajax to load Entries;
Sidebar uses famous Jozef Sakalos Accordion;
Calendar Widget is ajaxified and ExtJS skinned;
Quick Search displays search results during typing;
Comments are posted via Ajax; without refreshing the content of the entry;
I have started to work on Ext JS base Wordpress theme to check if it is possible. During few hours I have spend on it I could say: It is doable (somehow), although Wordpress is not ready for such extensions yet. Simply speaking: the distinction between logic and presentation is not clear enough.
I am sharing with the community some of my thoughts from the development period. It is because I have realized (it was not very difficult) that there should be a better solution for most of the problems I have solved. Hereby I am asking community for help to make this stuff better. Please check what I have done to make Ext JS theme work and how, and let me know how to improve it.
