The back-office of Novius OS is one "big HTML page". Actions performed in one tab can affect other tabs (ex: adding, modifying or deleting an item).
An event system has been established to enable the various interface elements to communicate with each other.
On the one side, the interface elements are listening to events (by binding callbacks functions) by connecting to
On the other side, the different actions trigger events, usually returned by AJAX requests (see :js
dispatchers <dispatcher>.On the other side, the different actions trigger events, usually returned by AJAX requests (see :js
$container.nosAjax), which are then dispatched to all interface elements via dispatchers <dispatcher>.Dispatched events are executed immediately on the current active tab or popup (the one which has focus). For other tabs (or popups), they are executed only when the tab or popup becomes active / focused.
