+1 for "visibility", as it`s about configuration/customization and it would
be in line with macros, JSX, SSX, etc.
Thanks,

Hello devs,
Since Nested Spaces has been introduced in XWiki, the need of configuring
some applications at space level has also appeared.
It was there before (skin, rights, etc) but I agree that it’s even more
important now.
There are already some configurable sections at
space level: Look & Feel
(Presentation, Page Elements, PanelWizard), Users & Groups (Rights: Page
&
Children, Rights: Page) but they are not using
the configurable class and
they are defined in
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwi…
having perSpace key.
The new installed applications that have a configuration page, can't be
configured now at space level and what I'm proposing in order to ease the
way this can be achieved is to add a new boolean property perSpace to the
XWiki.ConfigurableClass class.
I think I’d prefer instead to introduce a “visibility” xproperty similar
to what we have in wiki Macros and wiki components. Which could be for the
moment: WIKI, SPACE (later on we could maybe add some config options that
are only visible at the farm level, i.e. on the main wiki). Another use
case in the future could be to have user-level configuration options too
(with a visibility of USER); this could be a way to reuse ConfigurableClass
for both Admin UI and User Profile UI in the future.
Of course this means deprecating the “configureGlobally”.
Another idea would be to create a mix between
this non-existing property
and existing configureGlobally property and to create a new one with some
options: Wiki, Wiki & space, Space but this involves a lot of changes tha
might not worth the effort.
I think it’s worth introducing a “visibility” xproperty.
Thanks

WDYT?
Thanks,
