collective.ajaxify 1.0.0

collective.ajaxify is for asynchronous Classic-UI navigation using pat-inject.

collective.ajaxify

Ajaxify your Classic UI‌ Plone site!

This is an experiment to ajaxify a whole Plone site. Use at your own risk!

Some notes:

• This package makes use of the Patternslib pat-inject library.

• This package installs a custom Plone JavaScript bundle (bundle-plone) and restores the original one when uninstalling the package again. If you use a custom bundle-plone bundle yourself take care of the changes this package is doing in the resource registry.

• The custom bundle-plone uses the Mockup thet-improvements branch from https://github.com/plone/mockup/pull/1509 This bundle mainly adds support the the navigate event in the toolbar, the navigation marker and the structure pattern. It also adds a pat-base-url pattern to update data-base-url after navigate events.

This approach was presented at the Ploneconf 2025 talk "Ajaxifying Plone" by Johannes Raggam:
