Hi devs,
I've been working on this for a while, and here's the current status.
I've looked at Jerome's code, and it looks like a very good starting
point, and it's actually almost ready to use. I've noticed that using a
sequence number isn't supported yet, but getting a proper safe sequence is
going to be hard to implement, so for the initial version I'm not going to
include support for sequence numbers. I've also did some minor tweaks and
bug fixes.
I've looked at the current status of the AppWithinMinutes wizard, and I
think that the best way of integrating this new features is as a new step
(number 3), right after defining the class structure. This step would be
called "Documents", and here the user can define how the document title and
name is going to be defined. I'm not yet sure if exposing the document name
configuration is going to be confusing or not; to keep things simple, we
could just define one of them, the title, and let the name be the same as
the initial title, since most of the platform works fine with any character
in the document name.
Without JavaScript, a simple form that fills in the values for Jerome's
PageCreation class is displayed. With Javascript, I envision an UI similar
to the structure step: the left side is the canvas on which the user can
drag pieces from a "toolbox" on the right side. The possible tools/pieces
will be:
- a user entered text
- various date formats
- sequence number (when it will be implemented)
- the fields defined on the previous step, perhaps without large strings
- static text (by default a dash)
The user can drag as many of these tokens as he wants, forming a chain.
Tokens can be re-arranged in this chain, or be removed. When hovering over
such a token, the same icons as on the form fields (from the previous step)
appear, letting the user drag, delete or edit that token.
Editing a token means:
- setting a default value, a title, and a description for the "user
entered text"
- choosing among the predefined date formats (MMDDYY, YYYYMMDD, MMDD,
YYYYMMDD-HHMM, seconds since epoch) or writing a custom format (too
advanced?)
- choosing the minimum width of the sequence number (how many decimals to
print, prefixing with 0)
- nothing for class fields? Any ideas?
- the value of the static text to insert
I've looked at inserting a new step in the AWM wizard, and I was a bit
disappointed to see that the three wizard steps are tightly linked
together, making it very hard to add new steps in between. I changed things
a bit to make it easier to insert new steps in the future, although it's
far from perfect. At least we don't assume that there are always three
steps. And I inserted this new step in the wizard, for the moment with the
non-js UI; still working on the JS enhancements.
Next, when creating new documents, instead of the simple input asking for
the title, the form will display all the required inputs, or, if no input
is needed, jump straight to the document.
Does that sound like what's needed?

Sounds good, +1 from me.
Sergiu, do you think you could help Marius by implementing the "Add the
ability to auto-generate application entry names - XWIKI-7374" for 4.1?
Marius is fully busy on the EM UI (especially the Merge UI).
IMO what you could do if you agree would be to implement a new platform
module for autogenerating document names.
Things are starting to get in shape, I expect to have
everything ready by
the end of next week.
Did you commit anything yet? I'd love to test this feature.
Guillaume
