[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] merge branch 'feature-customizable-user-directory' (enterprise and platform) into 'master'

Hi devs,
I`ve worked on allowing the customization of the User Directory and,
implicitly, the ability to search for users in a wiki. The jira issue [1]
has 3 attached images, but I am going to link them here [2][3][4] too for
commodity.
The idea is simple: Use the livetable to display users (pages with
XWikiUsers objects in them) and display a selection of extra columns
(XWikiUsers class property names) that are stored in the user's profile
page as preferences. Each user can define his/er own view over the user
directory and can also reset it to default.
This feature comes as a complementary to the previous one [5] (that is
still waiting for your votes, BWT :) ). Combined, the two allow an admin to
display newly added user fields in the user's profile and other users to
perform user searches based on (and not only) these fields.
The only inconvenience with this approach is related to the workspaces
application in the way that a workspace has a different membership
relationship (membership to the workspace's group) than a normal XE
instance or a farm subwiki (pages with XWikiUsers objects in them). Please
see the jira issue [6] about this inconvenience and also the chosen and
implemented solution (with an example).
I`d like your vote if this is a feature that is to be integrated in XWiki,
as proposed by the 2 pull requests [7][8] that are available.
Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Edy,
looks good to me. It's indeed a feature I regularly see requested.
One question: could we not reuse the same interface as AppWithinMinutes to
select livetable columns? I find it a bit more intuitive.

Hi Guillaume,
I forgot to mention that this interface is without javascript.
I have studied a bit the possibility of reusing the AppWithinMinutes
livetable columns selection code, but right now it is a bit too specific to
AppWithinMinutes and not trivial to reuse. The idea I went for right now
was to improve it iteratively, since it's quite easy to add a script
extension that enhances the current no-javascript implementation.
Thanks,
Eduard

+1 this is a nice improvement even though it wasn't implemented the way I proposed it
with XObjects for Interface Extensions (see

It wouldn't be hard to change though by replacing the Override page with an XObject I
think.

Actually I've just realized that we cannot customize the user directory for the whole
wiki. Only users can customize what they see.
I've created a new jira issue http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XE-1137 (which IMO is
even more needed than XE-1137 but that's a personal opinion ;)).

Hi,
it's not customized globally in the current pull request? I was expecting
this to be an admin-only feature that would then apply to all users. This
is the feature that I see requested by users.
Being able to customize one's view of the user directory isn't asked for
that much. It might actually annoy admins, who expect the user directory to
display a given set of columns and then have to troubleshoot their users.
Last but not least, the current interface isn't simple enough for someone
non-technical to use.
Thus I'd rather make this feature admin-only and make it apply globally.
WDYT?

Hi Guillaume,
I completely agree and I was also close to -0/-1 on this for the same reason as you (the
fact that not all users will see the same thing - When I answered +1 it was before I
realized this).
I actually took the time to call Eddy on skype because of this :) Eddy explained that he
had this need for the wiki 3.0 project and that this was his main motivation but that we
could add the admin-customizable feature after.
Thanks

Hi,
the fact that this feature is needed by the Wiki 3.0 project is not a
sufficient reason to include it in platform by default. It can be
contributed as an extension or as part of the Wiki 3.0 distrib.
I'm not in favor of introducing that feature in its current form to all
users. I already see the questions flowing in. I recently worked on a
project involving heavy customization of the user directory and where 2 of
the goals were:
- Same view of the user directory for all users (needed for compliance
reasons)
- Simple interface for end-users
In its current form, this patch does not meet either of those needs. I am
afraid that it will do more harm that good if included by default.
I'm -0.

Hi Guillaume,
I completely agree and I was also close to -0/-1 on this for the same
reason as you (the fact that not all users will see the same thing - When I
answered +1 it was before I realized this).
I actually took the time to call Eddy on skype because of this :) Eddy
explained that he had this need for the wiki 3.0 project and that this was
his main motivation but that we could add the admin-customizable feature
after.
Thanks

Hi,
it's not customized globally in the current pull request? I was expecting
this to be an admin-only feature that would then apply to all users. This
is the feature that I see requested by users.
Being able to customize one's view of the user directory isn't asked for
that much. It might actually annoy admins, who expect the user directory
to
display a given set of columns and then have to
troubleshoot their users.
Last but not least, the current interface isn't simple enough for someone
non-technical to use.
Thus I'd rather make this feature admin-only and make it apply globally.
WDYT?

Indeed and that's not why it was added. It was added because we think it's better
than before and could be useful.
It can be
contributed as an extension or as part of the Wiki 3.0 distrib.

I'm -0.
What Eddy proposed to add in the future:
1. admin's ability to dissalow user views over the user directory
2. admin's ability to customize the default columns to be displayed
2 is important IMO while 1 is a nice to have and I'm even favorable that by default
users can customize their views.
Thanks

Hi devs,
I`ve worked on allowing the customization of the User Directory and,
implicitly, the ability to search for users in a wiki. The jira issue [1]
has 3 attached images, but I am going to link them here [2][3][4] too for
commodity.
The idea is simple: Use the livetable to display users (pages with
XWikiUsers objects in them) and display a selection of extra columns
(XWikiUsers class property names) that are stored in the user's profile
page as preferences. Each user can define his/er own view over the user
directory and can also reset it to default.
This feature comes as a complementary to the previous one [5] (that is
still waiting for your votes, BWT :) ). Combined, the two allow an admin to
display newly added user fields in the user's profile and other users to
perform user searches based on (and not only) these fields.
The only inconvenience with this approach is related to the workspaces
application in the way that a workspace has a different membership
relationship (membership to the workspace's group) than a normal XE
instance or a farm subwiki (pages with XWikiUsers objects in them). Please
see the jira issue [6] about this inconvenience and also the chosen and
implemented solution (with an example).
I`d like your vote if this is a feature that is to be integrated in XWiki,
as proposed by the 2 pull requests [7][8] that are available.
Thanks,
Eduard
