Hi,
Please give feedback on the menu iteration. You can view the mockups at
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/Skin20Menu
I think we should rename "Actions" back to "More Actions" since the
second is more common (I can think of gmail for example).
1. We need to decide the way we handle the actions we
are able to do
(depending on the rights we have): enable/disable them or hide them.
Why do we keep the "view" entry ?
I personally use "edit" to see the source of a page, may be others do the same.
Anyway it's still useful to people without edit rights, in this case
we could keep "edit" activated and display the source with a message
saying something like "You need to login to edit this page, etc" or
"You're not allowed to edit this page" depending on the situation.
2. You can select to have an simple or advanced menu
(View and Edit submenus
affected)
I wouldn't like that we use a tab layout for buttons that are actually
not tabs, for example "view" and "edit" in simple mode.
The menu must be revamped but I'd prefer that we stick to the dropdown
layout since it allows:
- to mix single buttons and dropdown lists
- to use icons more easily
- to create categories more easily (for example in "Actions")
Thanks,
