Hi devs,
Some users have raised that when you click on the pencil icon in the
Create/Delete/Move/Rename UIs, the user has to understand the “dot
notation” (ie the reference notation) and that it’s not user-friendly for
simple users.
Here’s what I propose:
1) Only display the pencil icon (and thus the advanced controls) for
Advanced Users.
2) Note that we were doing this initially but it was modified to fix
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12526. The idea would be to fix
XWIKI-12526 differently by modifying how we perform validation on the title
field: if the title field is empty, don’t expand the location edit controls
and just highlight the title field (for simple users).
3) (suggested by Edy): Introduce controls in the modal document picker
(tree) for creating empty documents in place (similar to creating new
folders in an operating system's folder picker, where you would create new
folders until you achieve the hierarchy you desire). We could even think
about using a template (e.g. space homepage) for these "placeholder"
documents.
E.g.
http://i.stack.imgur.com/umdE9.png
http://www.mclures.net/java/struts/Together/Struts-screenshots/create_proje…
(contextual menu)
etc...
The advantage of this would be that it would make more sense to simple
users and it would also be something they could use. Of course, one
downside would be the extra empty/placeholder documents that it would
create, but you have the same thing in a filesystem, more or less.
WDYT?
Thanks
