Hi, thanks for Marius' help ,last week, I have done the following work: (1). Implemented the function that logs a message in the firebug console whenever the caret is after [[ (2). Implement the function that requests the list of wiki pages matching some prefix user input. BUT, don't actually query the database, instead simply return a dummy list from the wiki page. (3). Implement the function that displays the list of wiki pages where the caret is, and integrated it with the SuggestionBox I have already implemented.
Here is the plan for next week: I will focus on fixing bugs and improving what I have and to make suer by the end of the week the link suggest should work very good. Include (1). Display the suggestion box in right place and at the right time. (2). Close suggestion box in custom, and also when some other keys typed like "esc" "right" and "left" (3). Test to make sure the prototype for link suggestion runs very well.
I tested your prototype and here are some of the issues I've found:
* A JavaScript exception is thrown when you type if the suggest box has not been displayed at least once
I have refine it, it works fine now.
* The close icon is useless, remove it.
I have deleted it, user still can use "ESC" to close the suggestion box
* The suggestion box doesn't update its position. If you trigger the suggest box and then write a long text (try multiple lines) the suggest box doesn't move.
The suggestion box will update its position when user are typing now.
* left/right keys should keep the suggest box open and filter the list of suggestions
*I have test the eclipse and also dreamweaver, when the left/right keys are typed, the suggestion box is closed, I think it is easy, it is intuitive that user move the caret do not want to get suggestion results, instead it is very possible to add something or refine something he has already typed before. *
I have tested again, in eclipse, when left and right key typed, the suggestion box stay open,and the suggestions are filtered but in dreamweaver, when left/right key is pressed, the suggestion box is closed. So which behaviour should we implement, eclipse way or dreamweaver way, I prefer dreamweaver way.
I prefer the Eclipse behaviour, but you can leave this for later.
* Ctrl+Space doesn't work after you close the suggest box by clicking outside of it.
*As we discuss last week, I think it is a complicated function that we have to consider the whole context of the suggestion process, till now, I only consider the trigger "[[", in the context of "[[" there might be other sub-triggers, like "attach:","@", ".", "||", when user type Ctrl+space at different sub-context of the triggers, the query behaviour will be different, it is a bit complex, and I need more time to design, implement and test it, so I will left it to next week. *
* Trigger the suggest box, move the mouse over it then type the Tab key multiple times. The text area looses the focus but the suggest box is not closed.
It is refined now ,you can test it.
* The suggest box is triggered by the Delete key.
*It is easy to close the suggestion box when user type Backspace key, however, I have tested eclipse and also dreamweaver, when user types backspace key, the suggestion box will not be closed, and the suggestion result will still be updated. *
The problem is not that Backspace _leaves_ the suggest box open. This is fine. The problem was that you could _open_ the suggest box by typing Backspace after [[text.
* The suggest box is not closed by typing ]].
It is ok now, when user types ]], and then the suggestion box will be closed.
* The suggest box is not closed by deleting [[.
It is okn now ,when user delete [[, the suggestion box will be closed.
* Ctrl+Space should be ignored if the suggest box is already displayed
*I will consider Ctrl+space later. *
* You don't take into account Undo/Redo operations nor the paste event.
*I will consider it later. *
For the next week I think you should:
(1) retrieve real suggestions using REST
I have read the document of how to write rest sevice, but I need to discuss with you more about how to do it, so I think we can discuss this next week
(2) generate the link syntax when a suggestion is selected
it is finished
(3) fix some of the issues I've listed above
I have finished most of the issues you've listed above, only this I need to think more and have further discussion with you. a.ctrl+space related functions. (I will consider it next week) b.undo/redo/paste related functions(I will consider it next few weeks) c.Adaptive suggestion box. (later, less important)
Sounds good. Thanks, Marius
Thanks, Marius
