Hi devs,

I started to try to implement this idea, and I found 2 options for the
editing the dashboard in "html mode" (not as wiki syntax but as the
rendered html with nice UI). Editing will be based on the annotated html
rendering of the dashboard, to be able to identify where one gadget
macro starts and where it ends. There are 2 options:
Short story:
1/ make a special parser to parse the wiki syntax content of the
dashboard, column and nested section macros back from the edited xhtml.
However, I just realized, it would be very hard (if not impossible in
the current architecture) for a special parser to work fine with a
dashboard macro generated by velocity script, for example:
{{velocity}}
{{dashboard}}
{{column}}
#if($someCondition)
{{gadget1 /}}
#end
{{/column}}
{{/dashboard}}
{{/velocity}}
Namely, the problem would be that a parser wouldn't be able to
reconstruct the velocity syntax around the generation of the dashboard
macro.
My idea for this is to **not allow dashboard macros
nested in other
macros** (are there other macros than scripting macros?) to be edited,
+1
Thanks,

since it doesn't make that much sense anyway (for
example assume
$someCondition is true for user X and not true for user Y. When user Y
edits the dashboard, what would user X see?). Since the editing is
supposed to be wysiwyg, generated dashboards cannot be edited correctly
in all situations.
WDYT?
Thanks,
Anca
2/ use operations to transmit the alterations to the server (move,
delete, add, etc) and servers applies these operations on the XDOM built
for the content of these macros.
Long story: see
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/GadgetIntegration#HImplementation
, especially the "edit mode" paragraph.

Also, there is a question about allowing and rendering any content in
view mode in the dashboard macro (since normally a section/column macro
allows any kind of content and for a dashboard we could limit it only to
macro calls which are in the gadgets category). See
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/GadgetIntegration#HImplementation
the "view mode" paragraph.
I will start implementing A 1/ to see how it goes and allow anything for B.
WDYT?
Thanks,
Anca

http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs Hi devs,
knowing that gadgets will be xwiki macros instances (in any of the
approaches) we need a way to add all these in a dashboard. Proposed
options are at
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/GadgetIntegration#HDashboardMacr…
. Currently implemented solution is 1/ which has a few drawbacks: it
defines a meta syntax for its content and this syntax doesn't allow more
complex layouts than a number of columns.
The new proposal is 4)
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/GadgetIntegration#HOption429Colu…
, which basically proposes to use nested column macros (
http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/contrib/projects/xwiki-macro-column/
) to do layouting and extend the section macro with a dashboard macro
which would be used on the first level to mark that the columned content
is a dashboard and not just regular wiki content. For more details about
the approach see the description in the design page, as well as for the
advantages of this proposal.
my +1, I like this approach, I will try to prove the concept in the next
days.
WDYT?
Thanks,
Anca
