So the idea is not to simply the existing Right UI but to add another UI. And I guess you’ll implement it as wiki pages. So I propose instead: "application-simplerights" I don’t think we need UI in the app name since that’s implied already. And I don’t think we need the “ier” suffix since it’s about providing a new UI and not making modifications to the existing one. WDYT?

[xwiki-devs] [Contrib][Proposal] XWebIDE - Logical tree view
by Yann Flory 21 Oct '15

21 Oct '15

Hello devs, Thank you for your participation in the ranking of XWebIDE features, it was very helpful to determine the next steps. The three most important features, based on the results, were: - (TABS) Ability to use several tabs in the Web IDE (Done) - (LOGICAL_TREE) Ability to switch to a Logical tree view of all the elements of an application (sheets, JSX, SSX, Macros, Translations, etc) - (PAGE_RELATED_ELEMENTS) Show links to related elements in the tree: jsx, ssx, macros, sheet and includes used in the edited page. A new version with tabs has been released (v0.8) and now we have a proposal for the Logical tree view. You can find it on the design page: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/XWebIDE+Application+Improve… What do you think about that tree? Thanks, Yann

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Deprecating SpaceDocs and Spaces panels
by vincent＠massol.net 20 Oct '15

20 Oct '15

Hi devs, I’ve implemented http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12599 and as part of this issue I needed to handle the SpaceDocs Panel, and we also need to handle the Spaces panel. Here’s my proposal: * In general we should list only Panels that work for the Nested Pages (NP) mode in the Panel Wizard (i.e. not show any Panels containing the word “Space” in their title or content). The rationale is that the majority of uses of XWiki will be for NP. * We should continue to provide Panels that work for the Nested Spaces (NS) mode (e.g. SpaceDocs, Spaces), but as extensions on e.x.o and not bundled by default in XE * However we shouldn’t break existing XWiki instances and thus I’m proposing this: ** Deprecate the SpaceDocs and Spaces panels by displaying a message (when the user is Admin), trying to push the move to the newer Panels (Children, Siblings and Navigation panels). For example, this is what I’ve done for SpaceDocs: https://www.evernote.com/l/AHfvmKs-DSZBh4IJf1Wp7VV5JfK2pEmfgME Note that this allows Admins to see that message in the Panel Wizard too and thus not be tempted to use them. ** Keep the deprecated Panels for 1 full cycle (i.e. remove them in XWiki 9.0, i.e. move them to xwiki-contrib at that time). Basically a similar strategy than for young apis. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Contrib] Repository request for a "Rights UI Simplifier"
by Paul Pantiru 20 Oct '15

20 Oct '15

Hello devs, I would like a repository on https://github.com/xwiki-contrib for the extension I'm working on. The purpose of this is to make a simplified UI for the rights manager, based on a client project (The jira issue for this would be https://jira.xwikisas.com/browse/MUT-8 ). The name of the repo should be something on the lines of "application-rightsui-simplifier", however I feel that this is not a very appropriate name, since is not necessary an application, but a ui modifier of the rights manager, so any input on the name would be very much appreciated. I would also like a jira project for this app. Thanks, Paul Panțiru

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Rename the "Page" column to "Page Title" in the LT for AllDocs + Children/Siblings
by vincent＠massol.net 16 Oct '15

16 Oct '15

Hi devs, I’d like to rename the Page column to Page Title to avoid confusion with the previously called Page column which has been moved to the Location column. (see http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki73M2#HPag… for details). It’s also more accurate IMO. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Removing comments, attachments, etc. tabs (#docextra) in default applications WebHome
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

Hi, #docextra tabs are particular important for content pages where users are encouraged to comment, attach, revise history, etc. But since XWiki is more than a wiki and the application usage has expanded, we removed the #docextra tab from many XWiki Contrib applications, like: File Manager, Forum, Calendar, etc. The logic behind was that the applications have as main purpose the management of applications entities, not commenting for example. Also with the Flamingo Skin, the shortcuts to Comments, Attachments, etc. can be found in the 'More actions' menu. So, my question to you is: What do you think about removing the #docextra also for default/bundled applications like: - Blog.WebHome - Dashboard.WebHome - Panels.WebHome - Scheduler.WebHome - Stats.WebHome - Main.WebHome? If we adopt this practice we could document it on: http://contrib.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome#HApplicationDesign or http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/ApplicationDevelopmentBestPra… Thanks, Caty
