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
Maybe not just the home but also other pages such as Blog.ManageCategories.
- Dashboard.WebHome - Panels.WebHome - Scheduler.WebHome - Stats.WebHome - Main.WebHome?
I’m not sure about Main.WebHome. Note that I’m -0 ATM. I’m not thrilled, especially if there’s no way to turn if on/off easily by some category of users. Thanks -Vincent
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/ApplicationDevelopmentBestPrac...
Thanks, Caty
