Re: [xwiki-devs] [discussion] Dashboard macro implementation (edit mode)

Hi devs, A I started to try to implement this idea, and I found 2 options for the editing the dashboard in "html mode" (not as wiki syntax but as the rendered html with nice UI). Editing will be based on the annotated html rendering of the dashboard, to be able to identify where one gadget macro starts and where it ends. There are 2 options: Short story: 1/ make a special parser to parse the wiki syntax content of the dashboard, column and nested section macros back from the edited xhtml. 2/ use operations to transmit the alterations to the server (move, delete, add, etc) and servers applies these operations on the XDOM built for the content of these macros. Long story: see http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/GadgetIntegration#HImplementation , especially the "edit mode" paragraph. B Also, there is a question about allowing and rendering any content in view mode in the dashboard macro (since normally a section/column macro allows any kind of content and for a dashboard we could limit it only to macro calls which are in the gadgets category). See http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/GadgetIntegration#HImplementation the "view mode" paragraph. I will start implementing A 1/ to see how it goes and allow anything for B. WDYT?
