This module is indended for other module developers. This module implements the JIT javascript library allowing other module developers to provide users with visualizations of nodes, users, taxonomy data or really any data that they want to visualize.

Features provided

This module also adds some additional features on top of the JIT library to allow users a simple way to add common features to JIT visualizations, such as:

  • custom searching of nodes in the visualization (not necessarily Drupal nodes)
  • full screen mode
  • easy configuration of visualization options
  • javascript hooks for custom behaviors
  • easy css skinnability of visualization for custom look and feel
  • context windows for nodes

A demonstration of the JIT module (D6 version) is available here: http://aci-dev.tacc.utexas.edu/mrhanlon/thejit/

The JIT module grew out of the My-Plant.org project. The module can be seen in production at http://my-plant.org.

The Drupal 6 version of the JIT module was funded by the iPlant Collaborative.
