Hi,
This is a proposal regarding the improvement of the Add menu in order to:
- specify a template for the newly created entities (space/page);
- specify also applications templates;
- some improvements for the create page step: the ability to select an
existing space or create a non-existing one + position changes.
You can see the proposal at
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/CreateMenuProposal
The "Add" menu could contain just the entries:
- Page
- Space
- Application
Maybe "Application" should be displayed only for advanced users, WDYT?
In the usability interviews I had, no one used the
other shortcuts
('Comment
to page; Attachment to page'), but the interviewers were not beginners
users, so if someone from the community is using those shortcuts please
tell
us if you want to keep them.
The Create Space step relates to
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-6684
The Create Page step relates to http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XE-897
For the application homepage
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/ApplicationWit…
the create action will auto-generate the page name (according to the
options) and will preserve the current space [1].
Sounds good to me.
With this proposal we can benefit from the contextual actions (for
applicationWithinMinutes inside the designated space)
but we are not
dependent completely of the space, being able to create application
instances in an universal manner from the "Add" menu.
Also, the existing behavior for the wiki pages will be preserved.
That's cool.
The default option for the template + location will
modify accordingly to
the context where the "Add" menu was launched.
Please provide feedback.
Thanks,
Caty
