Agreed.
BTW AFAIR the naming convention for translation keys is:
<top level project name>.<module name>.<key name>
Which would mean here (once AllDocs has been moved to xwiki-platform-navigation -
let's assume that's how we want to call it):
platform.navigation.indexTab
Not sure what to put for XE now since AllDocs is in XE, maybe enterprise.xe.indexTab?
Hi devs,
I'm implementing the LinkChecker UI and I want to be able to add a Tab in AllDocs.
Right now I've coded it with a hardcoded #if but I really hate this.
So here's my proposal:
* Create the following modules:
xwiki-platform-uiextension/
|_ xwiki-platform-uiextension-ui/
|_ xwiki-platform-uiextension-api/
where:
* xwiki-platform-uiextension-ui/: contains XWiki.UIExtensionClass page
* xwiki-platform-uiextension-api/: contains a ScriptService to get UIExtension data +
contains an EventListener that refreshes the UI Extension Cache when an UIExtensionClass
object is modified (this is for performance reasons)
To start with I'm proposing to have the following fields for UIExtensionClass:
* type: String, represents the type of the extension (for example for the AllDocs needs,
I'll use a "IndexTab" type (or "AllDocsTab" type)
Not sure about the type name, maybe more something like
"enterprise.indexTab" to follow configuration and translation keys
standard. > * id: String, the technical name of the extension,
which can be used for example as suffix for HTML class or ids.
> * name: String, the name of the extension, which can be used for displaying. For
example for the AllDocs needs, it would be used as the name of the Tab
BTW one more detail. We need to allow wiki syntax in the "name" field value
since we'll want to support translations.
The other option, maybe better, is to make it a translation key, or even better, do as we
have suggested for internationalizing the Rendering module, i.e. let the user specify
either a human-readable string or a translation id. For example: "My Name",
"${platform.linkchecker.linkTab}" (syntax to be defined).
Thanks

* content:
Textarea: the content of the extension. For example for the AllDocs needs, it would be
used as the content to display when clicking on a tab
I'd like to implement this ASAP and thus stop hardcoding UI Extensions from now on.
Here's my +1
+1
I'm ok with "uiextension".
Thanks
-Vincent
PS: If you find a better than "uiextension" I'm all ears. A name without
"extension" would be great to not confuse it with our Extensions (and with
xwiki-platform-extension).
