A list of websites deploying KSS

We attempt to maintain a list of websites currently using KSS in production. The list is currently short, but since KSS is included by Plone 3.0, every Plone site by default uses KSS as well.

If you have a website that you want to show, please let us know so we can put it on the list.

Within these websites you can see ones with complex AJAX solutions, and also simpler ones with just one or a few dynamic features. This shows that it is worth to use KSS even for the most simple tasks (even for the ones that could be implemented with plain javascript, without AJAX), but KSS solutions also scale towards high complexity easily.

The Daily Reel

http://www.thedailyreel.com/

A film community website with lots of KSS functionality, including:
  • refresh top10
  • formlib keyword lists
  • rounded portlets
  • batching
  • menu
  • kupu integration issues
  • drag and drop
  • livesearch
  • keyword autocomplete widget
  • video lists, complex inline editing
The site is running Plone 2.5 with a customized version of KSS 1.2.

Developed by: Alec Mitchell and Greenfinity

Running since: 2006 november. The site is currently off-line, a demonstration is available at http://thedailyreel.greenfinity.hu.


Van leeuwen Makelaardij

http://www.vanleeuwenmak.nl

Zest Software has developed a generic Plone add-on called RealEstateBroker to publish residential and commercial real estate. It exposes a range of charateristics, photo's, blue prints even a Google Map.

KSS functionality includes:

  • Rotating header image, using GET requests.
  • Photo album browsing

Thanks to Balazs Ree's work on kss.plugin.cacheability we are able to do GET requests from KSS. This is essential for a website that automatically updates parts every x seconds, because the load of the server would increase drastically without proper caching.


Docenten Dashboard

http://www.docentendashboard.nl

Developed by Zest Software.

Unfortunately this site is only available for logged in users, so no demo is available. The website functions as a central point for teachers to monitor their students. The homepage of this site consist of a dashboard which shows a number of portlets managed by the vendor. For example a search portlet or a todo portlet in case a teacher has items to review.

In this first release the vendor can use drag and drop to manage the arrangement of portlets on the dashboard. In later releases the vendor will be able to allow teacher to add and delete portlets from a series of portlets or use drag and drop to arrange them. The vendor will also be able to define portlets that can not be deleted from the dashboard by the teacher.

For the drag and drop we developed a plugin for KSS named kss.plugin.yuidnd. This plugin is based on the Yahoo UI Library.
