Hi,
It's been a few version now that we have the UI Extension mecanism in the
core platform. However we have not added many extension points and it's
bad
to wait to long to do this at it will lead to
have to build extensions
with
versions that have them and versions that do not
have them.
It would be great to add the most important extension points as soon as
possible.
Here are from my point of view as an extension developer the most
important
ones:
1/ Page Menu so that you can add an action to the current page
2/ Wiki Menu
3/ Profile Menu
4/ For each attachment
5/ For the attachment area
6/ Next to the document title
7/ Document action tabs (comments, files, etc)
8/ Document action tab links (in the document title area)
9/ Footer
+1 but not sure we have the time to discuss them precisely for 5.1 since
we're releasing 5.1RC1 on Monday… I'd much prefer to wait for 5.2M1. Since we
release RC1 on Monday we'll
branch at that time and master will become 5.2M1.
+1 to not rush this since this is an API. Actually it's even more
constraining than an API, since it means two important things:
1) that extensions will start using these UIX and we cannot change them
afterwards, except with aliases maybe
2) that any skin author will have *more* work to do since if they want to
support extensions they'll need to implement all UIX that exist!!
+1, but same concern than Vincent, and I think we should think about it
looking at our planned next skin as well. I have the bad feeling that
extension using extension points will need to be adapted with each skin, or
that we will need some mechanism to manage the html injected in extension
point based on the skin. Remember my reflexion about that in
http://markmail.org/thread/ymuv7hzqwvwpkscf.
Thanks,
Thanks
