[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Adding...

[xwiki-devs] [ANN] XWiki 5.1...

Hi devs, I'm going to add an UI extension point after the XWiki header that could be used to inject a navigation top menu bar. The extension point id can be: org.xwiki.platform.template.header.bottom or org.xwiki.platform.template.header.after I'll go with the first option if no one has a strong preference for the second. Regarding the package prefix in the UIX id, even though it was missing from JV's proposal http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/devs/2013-March/053739.html the existing UIX have it (e.g. org.xwiki.platform.panels.Applications) so I'm using it too to be consistent. I would also like to integrate http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Navigation+Menu+Wiki+M… http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/NavigationMenuConfig into xwiki-platform-menu/xwiki-platform-menu-ui (with various code modifications and some functional tests) without bundle it with XE. This new module could host in the future the menu creator proposed by Caty http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/MenuCreator . The goal of all this is to have http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9148 closed for 5.1 final. It's ok IMO to do this during RC phase because it can't break existing features. Thanks, Marius

Fine with me. We'll need to implement an UIX alias solution at some point in order to handle renames anyway.

Ok, provided it doesn't delay the release date. One thing I'd like to see too is a documentation page on xwiki.org for UIX, listing all known extension points provided by the platform. It could be put in the DevGuide on platform.xwiki.org. Cool stuff! Thanks -Vincent

I have most of it done locally.

There is http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/UIExtension+Module#HAv… but it's not very exposed. Thanks, Marius

ah yes that's a good start. I propose that we move this list in the DevGuide and link it from http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/UIExtension+Module WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

Actually IMO this page on platform should be a tutorial about creating/using UIX with a reference section of all known UIX. Thanks -Vincent

Hi devs, I'm going to add an UI extension point after the XWiki header that could be used to inject a navigation top menu bar. The extension point id can be: .bottom or org.xwiki.platform.template.header.after

"bottom" is visual, "after" is semantic. +1 for "after".

I'll go with the first option if no one has a strong preference for the second.

I guess we can say the rule is to follow the java package names / maven artifactId rules. +1 for the proposed prefix (org.xwiki.platform.template.header.)
