Bubbling Up Components

I just had a look through the license and wanted to check to make sure what I want to do isn’t a breach of the license.

Would it be possible to bubble up part or all of the Mint interface to a front end website? Meaning when viewers come to a page, instead of just seeing that it has been visited X number of times, they would see the Mint styled “Visits” pane?

Thanks. Mark.

Have you tried simply turning on the “Allow anyone to view Mint” option in the Preferences?

It wouldn’t be a violation of the license but it would probably be a pain to implement. It would required stripped down versions of the CSS, JavaScript and possible even an onCustom Pepper event handler that would duplicate pane and tab rendering to play nice in the stripped down environment.

I had originally planned to offer this functionality natively, calling it Mint Leafs, using Ajax to load the data after page load (I passed because of the additional server requirements it would entail).

Unless you’re caching the output, putting Mint on the front end of a website would be brutal on the database. The Mint database is optimized for writing not reading. But I hear you’re a clever guy Mark, you could probably figure something out.
