[xwiki-devs] [UX] Edit Buttons Order
by Ecaterina Valica 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi, Because we want to make a standard from vertical-aligned form, this means the buttons should be left-ordered with the most important action first. This should be changed also in Toucan and Albatross skin, not only just in Colibri. Right now the Edit Actions are "Cancel", "Preview", "Save&Continue", "Save&View". What do you think is the right order for them when they are left-aligned? (A) Save&View, Save&Continue, Preview, Cancel (as it is - just in reverse) (B) Save&View, Preview, Save&Continue, Cancel (C) Preview, Save&Continue, Save&View, Cancel (D) other variation Remarks: - "Cancel" should be *last* because it's a terminal (takes you out of the editor), no-saving action. This is the least important. - "Save & View" is also a terminal action (takes you out of the editor) - having it* first* you have the 2 terminal actions at extremities. - "Preview" is the least damaging action in case of accidental submit (Silvia + Marta) - should be *first*? - Some people use ("Preview" + "Save&Continue") {many times} + "Save&View" {final} - Other people just use "Save&Continue" + "Save & View" {final}, never "Preview", etc - What is the necessity for the "Preview" button in a WYSIYWG editor? On the other hand "Preview" is very important if you edit in "Wiki" mode. - Should "Preview" separate the two other SAVING actions? (Marta) - Should "Save&Continue" separate the two other VIEW actions? Thanks, Caty

Any idea? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [NOTICE] Publishing gwt-incubator-july-14-2009.jar to our maven repo
by Marius Dumitru Florea 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

Hi devs, The WYSIWYG editor uses the GlassPanel widget from GWT incubator. The version currently used doesn't work with GWT 1.7 ( http://tinyurl.com/nwr4bm ) so we have to upgrade. Unfortunately the latest version is not yet published to the maven central repo ( http://tinyurl.com/ksuh7h ) so we have to publish it in our repo. Let me know if you have something against it. Thanks, Marius

[xwiki-devs] A better UI for annotation module
by Lucien Pereira 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

Hi all, Annotation module success depends strongly of being able to provide a great user exprerience. So I think current annotation module UI should be improved, for now it has only been tested in firefox. Since I really do not have skills concerning interface ergonomy, I would propose that a designer handle it. annotation feature installation and usage instructions can be found here http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/AnnotationModule WDYT ?

[xwiki-devs] Controlling the size of the editor for editing textarea properties?
by Vincent Massol 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

Hi guys, Is it possible to have a textarea property for which you have a wysiwyg editor that doesn't take all the horizontal space. For ex if the textarea property says 20 chars, is it possible to have an editor that is 20 chars wide? Same question with the wiki editor. Thanks -Vincent
