Re: [xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Add Export UI for space-level + homogenisation

Hi devs, <bad idea but kept for the sake of the discussion> Now that I’ve implemented http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-11337 I was wondering if it would be a good idea to have 2 menu entries (they would be visible only for admins by I think): - Export Space (in the Space menu of the navbar) - Export Wiki (in the Wiki menu of the navbar) When you click on them they would open a popup similar to the one that opens when you click on Export Page but with 2 options only ATM: XAR and HTML (since these are the 2 that support exporting at space and wiki levels). Now when the multipage export UI is ready, click on any Export (page level, space level or wiki level) would open that UI with a preselection (current page, current space or current wiki selected). We would also need to decide what to do with the Export screen of the Admin UI: Would it be dropped in favor of the “Export Wiki” menu action? </bad idea but kept for the sake of the discussion> <more thinking happened here… :)/> <better idea> More generally speaking we need to think about Admin actions and where we want them. I don’t think it’s a good idea to start putting more and more admin actions in menus. Actually what we should probably do is generalize the concept of the Admin UI at all levels: Page level, Space level and Wiki level. Thus I think I’d prefer the following: - Add an Export admin UI screen at the space level for exporting only a space as XAR - Introduce an admin UI screen at page level too and start moving features in there. I can think of at least 2: Export Page, Page level rights </better idea> WDYT?
