Yes it should be configurable where the class should be
We also need a list of Applications somewhere so that you can find your
application easily.

Hi,
One of the bad things in the structure of the AppWithinMinutes is that all
new user classes are created inside AppWithinMinutes space.
First of all is kind of hard to distinguish what are internal code pages
and what pages were created during my test (TestClass, TestHome, TestSheet,
etc.).
Maybe some page name convension would be helpful for pages like: DBList,
Date, etc.
This mixing of pages will make harder also the export of one specific
application and it's pages.
Just a thought,
Caty

Caty.. I can see that you spent a lot of time
testing but the only
purpose of the AppWithinMinutes home page, as it is right now, is to
expose the class editor and the live table generator in XE 3.3M2,
which means it's temporary. This thread is about the AppWithinMinutes
wizard I have committed yesterday, which, as I wrote in my mail, is
located at AppWithinMinutes.CreateApplication page. I'm afraid some of
your comments below are not relevant in the context of the wizard. I
will reply to the relevant ones.

Hi Marius,
I'm gonna list some thoughts as I test what you did. I didn't read
anything

- "Class Name" field - some suggest would be nice in order to know what
classes can be edited. Especially if I need to write them in Space.Page
form. Very nice that I can edit XWiki.XWikiUsers
- "Create/Edit Class": I've entered "Class
Name"='TestClass' and I was

- Check icon's title is "Hide configuration panel" - should be "Apply
changes" or "Save configuration" or "Save" or "Save
changes" or :)
It doesn't save the changes. I'm fine with "Hide configuration panel
and apply changes".
- I cannot drag something at the start of my form or in between what
fields
already exists. It adds the new field at the
bottom and than I need to
reorder. Very annoying.
I know, but it's not a priority IMO.

I didn't have time to implement client-side validation. I agree it's
important but we won't have it in the first version.

it appears the WYSIWYG (because that is the default). Should
write
"Default editor" instead of
"---", because IMO "---" means "None"
- On hitting "Enter" is always re-saves. Don't know if this is a good
thing
or not, but is not an explicit user action. I did
not hit the "Save"
myself: maybe I was just testing and I didn't want to make any
modification

- Adding "Number" and writing some characters in it didn't wield any
error.
//Later//: Also when you create a new entry the
default character value
is
not present (because it was not a number), but if
you put again
characters
instead of numbers: they don't get displayed,
but again no warning or
correction
Falls in the "client-side validation" category.

default selection when I hit the checkbox/radio only. If I double click
on
the choice name can I have the
"Configure" opened? In order to see that
there is the place where I need to change the values. Or open the
"Configure" if a double click the whole area.
I don't like the double-clicking idea.
- The preview only on "Hide configuration panel" is kind of annoying.
Again
that entry should be named "Save
changes" or something. I pressed
"Multiple
Select", it auto-changed the "Display

Keeping the toolbox visible when the configuration panel is shown is
an interesting idea.

I think this is just the browser behavior.
- "Static List" values - missing an active state for the Choice being
edited. The hover color, should be preserved to mark the active value
being
edited.
Agree.

"@" is kind of cryptic and geekish. You have place to put "Time",
especially if you remove the "Ok" and make it an "X"
- Not sure what "Update class template" and "Update class sheet" mean
but I
don't care. Could be in an advanced
configuration zone for the form
(class).

but this

- I tried to open in another tab the "Add
new entry" :)
I know, but I didn't want to spend time on this (read the URL fragment
on page load and show the dialog).
- "Edit class" is not working - takes me to the WYSIWYG
- "Add new entry" works, but the new page is not displayed in the
livetable
Marius, very nice work. Hope my feedback will
help you.
It helps. Thanks,
Marius
