This should go beyond user profiles. Space home pages but any page
should be able to be dashboard pages.
For these pages we would need a way to make them display as dashboard
pages by default.
We should also make it easy to make these pages dashboard pages when in
the wysiwyg. Like include a "dashboard" macro.
I view it like that:
1/ Open a page in wysiwyg
2/ Type some text, include a dashboard macro
3/ Save
When in view the dashboard macro renders the dashboard settings saved in
the content field of the dashboard macro or in XWiki objects save in the
page.
It adds JS tools to allow to move and change your gadgets and panels
used in your dashboard.
Gadgets on the iGoogle panel also have an Edit Settings action on the top
right
corner of every gadget, which opens a form with settings for that gadget.
Question:
If one user changes these settings, should they be visible to everyone, or
just to the
user editing them? (this way different users will see the gadgets with
different settings
for the same dashboard)
On the personal dashboard is obvious that only you get to change them, and
maybe view
the dashboard,
but what about any dashboard added as a macro on a regular page?
I think the changes should be visible to everyone with view rights on the
page, and
the settings editable for everyone with edit rights on the same page.
WDYT?
With this method we might not need the xpage=dashboard template, as you
could just have an #if in the XWikiUserSheet which displays the
dashboard based on URL params.
The #if would make a call to the XWiki {{dashboard}} macro

Hi devs,
I'd like to start working on Gadgets Integration. (this is a new feature)
I've been working on the specs with Guillaume, and you can see the Design
page here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/GadgetIntegration
The aim of the gadget integration is to provide XWiki users with a
dashboard-like page that will display a list of gadgets. These gadgets
can
be either internal gadgets (similar to XWiki
panels) or external gadgets
(coming from the Google Gadget repository for instance). Users can select
which gadgets to display on their dashboard from a gadget directory
located
on the wiki.
I've also created a few Mockups here
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Mockups/GadgetsIntegrationfor
the Dashboard, Gadget Windows and Gadgets Directory.
List of features:
Dashboard
- Dashboard for each user with drag&drop for Gadget Windows
- Display both Google Gadgets and XWiki Gadgets (Panels)
Directory
- An internal directory with Gadgets in the wiki divided in 3 parts:
* XWiki Gadgets defined in the wiki / in the farm (current
Panels)
* Google Gadgets selected out of the
global Google Directory by
wiki
admins
* If allowed by wiki admins: full Google Gadgets Directory
I'd like to include all of the above with basic functionalities into
2.2M1.
One thing is not clear at this point >> The relationship between XWiki
Gadgets and current Panels:
They are basically the same thing (same content), but they will have
different containers (drag&drop window with edit settings on Dashboard
and
present containers for the side menu Panels).
Will all Panels make sense as XWiki Gadgets? If no, when a new Panel is
created, how do you know it's meant to be only a side menu Panel and not
also a XWikiGadget? (this applies for current Panels as well)
Also, very important: where should the interface for the Gadgets
Directory
be placed? Appended to Panels.WebHome or new
directory Gadgets.WebHome?
In
my opinion it needs a different interface from
the Panel Wizard
Interface.
The Panel Wizard is in the Wiki Preferences
(administration space) open
only
to Admins, but the Directory will have to be
available to all users (even
browsable by everyone).
An admin interface for picking Google Gadgets from iGoogle Directory
and/or
XWiki Panels for the Gadgets Directory might be
needed.
How should I treat the 2 of them (XWiki Gadgets vs side menu Panels)?
Thanks,
Anamaria
