Nice ! I'd may add more separation, ie contrast or a separator line, on the list footer, where there is "20 extensions --- update all" displayed, Have a nice day Thibaut DEVERAUX Tel : 06 75 51 20 80 [email protected] http://www.thib-d.com @ Bricks, design et accompagnement projet [email protected] http://bricks-studio.com http://design-keys.org 2010/12/14 Thomas Mortagne <[email protected]>

Hi,

Please take a look at the proposal

http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/ExtensionManagerPro...

...

Prototype:

http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/ExtensionManagerPro...

This looks already very nice !

Here is a quick comment (will think more about it when I finished working on some tasks for 2.7C1).

What's would be great to see: * extension detailed sheet when you click on one (like a more complete description, changelog, dependencies, etc.) * when clicking on install/uninstall/enable/disable having a panel indicating what will be done (what others extensions will need to be installed/uninstalled/enabled/disabled, confirm) *

Some notes: * "Incompatible with XE 2.6", extension generally depends on Core/platform, not XE. XE job is to package some extensions that works well together with a specific version of the platform.

...

Thanks, Caty

Hi,

Thanks for all the feedback.

@Vincent: We have the Categories listed in the filter: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/ExtensionManage... and also in the submenu: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/ExtensionManage...

This is not category but type. Category corresponds to tags, such as the tags on extensions.xwiki.org (we'll need to refine them and define well-known categories). This is similar to what we have for wiki macros. It's required when you have lots of extensions (which is our case). Thanks -Vincent

@Thomas: extension detailed sheet is the next step

@Jerome, @Thibaut thanks for the suggestions

Thanks, Caty

Hi, Please take a look at Iteration 2 http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/ExtensionManagerPro... Covers: - matched the style accordingly to our current Administration style - changed a bit button order + changed status display - collapsible entries that have zone tags (Description, Release Notes, Dependencies) - installation steps Thanks, Caty On Fri, Dec 17, 2010 at 12:46, Ciprian Amaritei <[email protected]>wrote:

Looks really nice Caty!

One suggestion is not to use gradient colors for extension blocks like: Compatible, Incompatible, New updates available. It may be enough only the text in the right with the specific color (and maybe bold). Only for disabled extensions we can use a light gray background color for the entire block. Also a more detailed description of the extension I think will help so we can spot exactly in the extension manager what the is it intend for. A rating system also will be nice, so in case of two similar extensions the user could choose it based on its popularity.

Ciprian.
