In the above image the “VMWare Client Tools” driver has been installed. When the “Additional Drivers” was initially displayed it was not - once it was installed I just restarted the Ubuntu VM and Unity started working.

var panel = new Ext.Panel({
    draggable: {

      insertProxy: false,

      onDrag: function(e) {
        var el = this.proxy.getEl();
        this.x = el.getLeft(true);
        this.y = el.getTop(true);
      },

      endDrag: function(e) {
        this.panel.setPosition(this.x, this.y);
      }
    },

    title: 'Panel',
    width: 400,
    height: 400,
    x: 20,
    y: 20
  });

Ext.onReady(function() {

var el = Ext.get('image1');
el.dd = new Ext.dd.DDProxy('image1', 'group');

var r = new Ext.Resizable('image1', {
    preserveRatio: true,
    width: 400,
    height: 300,
    resizeChild: true
  });
});

The above assumes you have your image wrapped in a <div> with an id of “image1”, ie:

<div id=”image1”><img src=”images/test1.jpg”/></div>

In ExtJS 3.x to listen for double-click events on a GridPanel you attach a listener to the GridPanel like this:

this.on('rowdblclick', function(eventGrid, rowIndex, e) {
  console.log('double click');
}, this);

In ExtJS 4.0 you need to listen for events on the GridPanel’s view, via the “viewConfig”:

viewConfig: {
    listeners: {
       dblclick: function(dataview, index, item, e) {
                console.log('dblclick');
            }
        }
  }

In my case, I wanted the GridPanel to fire a ‘rowdblclick’ event just like it did in Ext 3.x, so I defined my Ext 4.x GridPanel class like this:

Ext.define('MyGridPanel', {
  extend: 'Ext.grid.GridPanel',

  viewConfig: {
  listeners: {
      'dblclick': {
        fn: function(dataview, index, item, e) {
          var gridPanel = this.ownerCt.ownerCt;
          gridPanel.fireEvent('rowdblclick', this, index, e);
        }
      }
    }
  },

initComponent: function() {
    this.addEvents(
      'rowdblclick'
      );
    this.callParent(arguments);
  }
});

The “this.ownerCt.ownerCt” in the handler seems like hackery to me, but for now at least, in PR3, it works.  Anyone have a better solution?

UPDATE FOR PR4:

The line “var gridPanel = this.ownerCt.ownerCt;” should be “var gridPanel = this.ownerCt;”

var commentsField = new Ext.form.TextArea({
    fieldLabel: 'Comments',
    name: 'Comments',
    enableKeyEvents: true
});

commentsField.on('keyup', function(field, e) {

    // Here's how you get the current cursor position/selection range:

    var s, e;

    if (Ext.isIE) {
        var bookmark = document.selection.createRange().getBookmark();
        var selection = field.el.dom.createTextRange();
        selection.moveToBookmark(bookmark);

        var before = field.el.dom.createTextRange();
        before.collapse(true);
        before.setEndPoint("EndToStart", selection);

        var selLength = selection.text.length;

        s = before.text.length;
        e = s + selLength;

    } else {
        s = field.el.dom.selectionStart;
        e = field.el.dom.selectionEnd;
    }
}, this);

Just in case anyone would like to save the hour or so of Googling it took me to figure this out.

A few hours of Google searching led me to think that this was a pretty complex task - this page for instance is a detailed description of how to solve the problem, via the creation of a compound CCK field.

However, it turns out that there is a simpler solution, as described on the Trellon blog. Below is my description of how I solved the problem using the same technique.

The first thing you need to do is create your own Drupal module - this is very simple, and involves creating a folder in the “/sites/all/modules/” folder. My module is called “mediacentre”, so I created “/sites/all/modules/mediacentre/”, and in that folder I created two files - “mediacentre.info” and “mediacentre.module”.

Here is the “mediacentre.info” file:

    ; $Id: 
    name = Media Centre
    description = Media Centre
    core = 6.x

The “mediacentre.module” file is a little more complex:

<?php
function mediacentre_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
    if ($form_id == "story_node_form") {

        // each field can have multiple values, we need to add custom process function to every upload field
        foreach (element_children($form['field_video']) as $key) {
            $type = $form['field_video'][$key]['#type'];

            if ($type == 'filefield_widget') {
                $a = array('filefield_widget_process', 'download_url_widget_process');
                $form['field_video'][$key]['#process'] = $a;

                $va = array('filefield_widget_validate', 'download_url_widget_validate');
                $form['field_video'][$key]['#element_validate'] = $va;
            }
        }
    }
}

function download_url_widget_process($element, $edit, &$form_state, $form) {
    $file = $element['#value'];

    $element['data']['download'] = array(
        '#type' => 'textfield',
        '#title' => t('Download URL'),
        '#value' => $file['fid'] ? $file['data']['download'] : ''
    );

    return $element;
}

function download_url_widget_validate($element, &$form_state) {
}

In the above code the important method is “mediacentre_form_alter” - this is a Drupal form hook - the Drupal FAPI documentation has much more information on this, most of it horribly confusing if you’re just trying - like I was - to learn the basics. With the above method in our module, every time Drupal displays a form it will call our form hook, so we can customize the form as needed.

In the form hook method we check for the ID of the form we want to modify - this can be discovered by using Firebug or the Webkit Inspector to examine your page. In my case, I wanted to modify the Drupal form for editing nodes, and I was looking specifically for the forms that were used to upload my videos. I was using CCK for these fields, and the field name was “field_video”. If you use a different field name, then you have to change the use of ‘field_video’ in the method to the name of your own field.

For each ‘field_video’, we check for the ‘filefield_widget’, which is the actual upload form we want to modify, and we replace the existing ‘#process’ key for that array with a new value that includes the name of our “process” or “validate” method.

So, when Drupal displays the “filefield_widget”, it will now call our “download_url_widget_process” method, and that method will insert a new element into the form with the name ‘download’, and the title ‘Download URL’.

Right now we’re not doing any particular validation, so we just leave the “download_url_widget_validate” method blank. Normally this method would contain code to make sure that the value entered is OK.

And that’s it! When displaying your data in a tpl.php you have access to the new “download” value, in the same way you would access the “description” value, as a key in the item->data array.

Unfortunately Widerbug is not updated as frequently as Firebug, so if you want to use the most recent versions of Firebug you’re out of luck.

To solve this issue I used FileMerge to compare Widerbug with a stock release of Firebug, and came up with the following list of required changes: (UPDATE: It turns out that in the Widerbug xpi there’s a text file “instructions.txt” that details these steps as well… ha! Note that the steps described in the Widerbug “instructions.txt” are slightly more complex than mine, as they involve changing some Firebug artwork, the update URL, and signing the XPI.)

Anyway, here are my changes for Firebug 1.5.0. We edit the relevant files in-place, after Firebug has been installed. First you need to open the Firefox “Profiles” directory, which on OS X is located at ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles - open the appropriate profile, then look for the “extensions” directory, and inside that is the “firebug@software.joehewitt.com” directory. Make the following edits:

1) content/firebug/browserOverlay.xul

Replace this:

    <vbox id="appcontent">
        <splitter id="fbContentSplitter" collapsed="true"/>
        <vbox id="fbContentBox" collapsed="true" persist="height"></vbox>
    </vbox>

With this:

    <hbox id="browser">
        <splitter id="fbContentSplitter"/>
        <vbox id="fbContentBox" flex="1" collapsed="true" persist="width"/>
    </hbox>

2) content/firebug/firebugOverlay.xul

Change line 141 from

    <box id="fbPanelPane" flex="1" persist="orient">

to

    <vbox id="fbPanelPane" flex="1" persist="orient">

and change line 276, the corresponding closing tag, from

    </box>

to

    </vbox>

3) content/firebug/firebug.css

Insert this:

    #fbToolbox {
        border-top-width: 0px;
        border-top-style: none;
    }

Before this:

    /************************************************************************************************/
    panelTabMenu {
        -moz-binding: url("chrome://firebug/content/bindings.xml#panelTabMenu");
    }

4) skin/classic/mac/firebug.css

Replace this:

    #fbContentSplitter {
        border-top: 1px solid #BBB9BA;
        border-bottom: none;
        background: #f3f3f3 !important;
        min-height: 3px;
        max-height: 3px;
    }

With this:

    #fbContentSplitter {
        border-left: 1px solid #BBB9BA;
        border-right: 1px solid #BBB9BA;
        background: #f3f3f3 !important;
        min-width: 5px;
        max-width: 5px;
    }

4) skin/classic/win/firebug.css

Replace this:

    #fbContentSplitter {
        border-top: 1px solid !important;
        -moz-border-top-colors: threedShadow !important;
        border-bottom: 1px solid !important;
        -moz-border-bottom-colors: #EEEEEE !important;
        min-height: 3px;
        max-height: 3px;
        background-color: #FFFFFF;
    }

With this:

    #fbContentSplitter {
        border-left: 1px solid !important;
        -moz-border-left-colors: threedShadow !important;
        border-right: 1px solid !important;
        -moz-border-right-colors: threedShadow !important;
        min-width: 3px;
        max-width: 3px;
        background-color: #d4d0c8;
    }

NOTE: The next time you update Firebug these changes will - of course - be overridden by the new version. So it’s pretty ugly, but it works.

The solution is to define complex objects inside the "initComponent" function, referencing them via "this".

Ext4 Example:

Ext.onReady(function() {
  Ext.QuickTips.init();

  // This class definition is broken for most uses - the 'obj' complex object is
  // created when the class is defined, and as such is shared across all instances
  // of the class! Confusingly, 'simple' class attributes are /not/ shared.

  Ext.define('BrokenClass', {
    extend: 'Ext.Panel',
    obj: {
      colour: 'red'
    },
    simple: 'one', // this is not shared

    initComponent: function() {
      this.callParent();
    }
  });


  // This class definition is not broken - the 'obj' complex object is created when an
  // instance of the class is created, and thus is unique to each instance.

  Ext.define('WorkingClass', {
    extend: 'Ext.Panel',
    initComponent: function() {
      this.obj = {
        colour: 'red'
      };
      WorkingClass.superclass.initComponent.apply(this, arguments);
    }
  });


  // Note that b1 and b2 share the value of 'obj', but do NOT share the value
  // of 'simple'

  var b1 = Ext.create('BrokenClass');
  var b2 = Ext.create('BrokenClass');

  b2.obj.colour = 'blue';
  b2.simple = 'two';

  console.log(b1.obj.colour, b2.obj.colour, b1.simple, b2.simple);


  // Note that w1 and w2 each have their own values for 'obj'

  var w1 = Ext.create('WorkingClass');
  var w2 = Ext.create('WorkingClass');

  w1.obj.colour = 'blue';

  console.log(w1.obj.colour, w2.obj.colour);
});

Ext3 Example:

Ext.BLANK_IMAGE_URL = 'lib/ext/resources/images/default/s.gif';

Ext.onReady(function() {
        Ext.QuickTips.init();

    // This class definition is broken for most uses - the 'obj' complex object is 
    // created when the class is defined, and as such is shared across all instances
    // of the class! Confusingly, 'simple' class attributes are /not/ shared.

        BrokenClass = Ext.extend(Ext.Panel, {
                    obj: {
                        colour: 'red'
                    },
                    simple: 'one', // this is not shared

                    initComponent: function() {
                        BrokenClass.superclass.initComponent.apply(this, arguments);
                    }
                });


    // This class definition is not broken - the 'obj' complex object is created when an 
    // instance of the class is created, and thus is unique to each instance.

        WorkingClass = Ext.extend(Ext.Panel, {
                    initComponent: function() {
                        this.obj = {
                            colour: 'red'
                        };
                        WorkingClass.superclass.initComponent.apply(this, arguments);
                    }
                });



    // Note that b1 and b2 share the value of 'obj', but do NOT share the value 
    // of 'simple'

        var b1 = new BrokenClass();
        var b2 = new BrokenClass();

        b2.obj.colour = 'blue';
        b2.simple = 'two';

        console.log(b1.obj.colour, b2.obj.colour, b1.simple, b2.simple);


        // Note that w1 and w2 each have their own values for 'obj'

        var w1 = new WorkingClass();
        var w2 = new WorkingClass();

        w1.obj.colour = 'blue';

        console.log(w1.obj.colour, w2.obj.colour);
    });

Given the following JSON data:

{"totalCount": 2,"items": [{"ID": 1,"Name": "First"},{"ID": 2,"Name": "Second"}]}

Note: ExtJS requires the above format for GridPanel data. The list of data must be wrapped in an object that contains a "total count" attribute, and the list itself is the data of an "items" attribute. These names of these attributes must match the "totalProperty" and "root" values in the JsonReader of the Store used by the GridPanel. See below.

Here's an ExtJS GridPanel that will load and display it:

ExampleGrid = Ext.extend(Ext.grid.GridPanel, { title: 'Example', border: true, frame: true, closable: true,

        initComponent: function() {

            var proxy = new Ext.data.HttpProxy({
                        url: 'http://host/url/to/get/JSON/data'
                    });

            var store = new Ext.data.Store({
                        remoteSort: true,
                        proxy: proxy,
                        baseParams: {
                            limit: 100
                        },
                        reader: new Ext.data.JsonReader({
                                    totalProperty: 'totalCount',
                                    root: 'items'
                                }, [{
                                            name: 'ID'
                                        }, {
                                            name: 'Name'
                                        }])
                    });

            Ext.apply(this, {
                        loadMask: true,
                        store: store,

                                    dataIndex: 'ID',
                                    sortable: true
                                }, {
                                    header: 'Name',
                                    dataIndex: 'Name',
