Hi,
I would like to suggest an enhancement for the target space.
If we use a drop down list generated using a small code snippet of
velocity
i hope that would be easier for an average user.
By default it is getting the current document name : ${doc.web}
for the list we can generate a list of spaces available in the wiki :
#set($spaces =
$xwiki.spaces)
#foreach($space
in $spaces)
I think we discussed about this sometime ago on the devs list. Can you
check
(in dev list archives) what was discussed earlier? and may be improve your
idea based on that?
I searched in the archive but i was n't able to locate the thread.Was it a
recent thread?
Anyway, I think your idea is good, but we'll need to give the user an
opportunity to create a new space if he wishes to do so. May be an
additional [New Space] list item on the drop-down list? (+ a separate text
field that becomes visible if the user selects this list item).
Even we use a simple drop down to select the Text field is availale as usual
where user can type a new Space if wanted.
Still, I think we opted for using an auto-suggest box instead because it is
the convention in most XWiki UIs. I personally find this auto-suggest box a
bit disturbing and not-so-visible. Not sure if others would agree or not.
If it is a xwiki convetion then the available option seems good,When i first
use the importer without having a proper idea abou how many spaces are
availble i bit confused initially.
This implemetation gives and idea about how many spaces actually exists in
the wiki that a user can import new articles.
We should make the autosuggest add some kind of marker to the affected
fields, so that a user can know that an autosuggest is used.
We should wait for a web UI expert :)
Yes.Hoping some comments on that
Thanks.
