Hi,

I would like to suggest an enhancement for the target space. If we use a drop down list generated using a small code snippet of velocity i hope that would be easier for an average user.

By default it is getting the current document name : ${doc.web}

for the list we can generate a list of spaces available in the wiki :

#set($spaces = $xwiki.spaces)

#foreach($space

...

in $spaces)

I think we discussed about this sometime ago on the devs list. Can you check (in dev list archives) what was discussed earlier? and may be improve your idea based on that?

I searched in the archive but i was n't able to locate the thread.Was it a recent thread?

Anyway, I think your idea is good, but we'll need to give the user an opportunity to create a new space if he wishes to do so. May be an additional [New Space] list item on the drop-down list? (+ a separate text field that becomes visible if the user selects this list item).

Even we use a simple drop down to select the Text field is availale as usual where user can type a new Space if wanted.

Still, I think we opted for using an auto-suggest box instead because it is the convention in most XWiki UIs. I personally find this auto-suggest box a bit disturbing and not-so-visible. Not sure if others would agree or not.

If it is a xwiki convetion then the available option seems good,When i first use the importer without having a proper idea abou how many spaces are availble i bit confused initially. This implemetation gives and idea about how many spaces actually exists in the wiki that a user can import new articles.

We should wait for a web UI expert :)

Yes.Hoping some comments on that

Thanks.

We should make the autosuggest add some kind of marker to the affected fields, so that a user can know that an autosuggest is used.
