IMO a livetable for selecting the template might be good too so that it can scale, allow

Hi XWikiers,
I've been working on the ability to provide document templates on
document creation lately.
It's documented on dev.xwiki.org:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/DocumentTemplates
Implementation:
- New "create" xwiki action
- Templates: create.vm, createinline.vm (for inline and ajax uses)
Doesn't this clash with the existing create.vm?
- Modification in the xwiki-core-rendering-xwiki
core module so that
it gets the correct action (create) for broken links
- New XClass: XWiki.TemplateProviderClass (with associated sheet and
template), this class allow to build the list of template entries to
display in the create document form.
- New administration section: Templates. Allows to list existing
template providers and to create new ones.
I'm almost ready to commit (I only need one more day to write
functional tests) and I'd really like to do it after the 2.4M1
release. WDYT ?
Some quick remarks:
- Shouldn't the template list be in a select box, to be able to display
many possible templates? Or we assume that a normal wiki should have at
most 10 templates, and the user can change the display if he needs to? Or, should we automatically switch from radio list to
drop down select
when the number of templates goes beyond an acceptable number?
- Should the list of accepted spaces be a livetable instead?
big +1 ;)
(indeed there can be lots of spaces)
Thanks
-Vincent
- Does the modal dialog really need the highlight background? I'd rather
have it simple, without the extra background.
