Hi, I like the screenshots. The behavior is consistent and similar to what we have in the Panel Wizard, just you drag applications instead of panels. It's not exactly what I had in mind when I thought about this issues, I was thinking more of a favorite mechanism per user, but until then I think it will work for admins to customize their wiki AppBar. +1 to commit it on master Thanks, Caty On Thu, Oct 23, 2014 at 7:17 PM, Guillaume "Louis-Marie" Delhumeau < gdelhumeau(a)xwiki.com> wrote:

Hello. I have worked a bit on http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10333 <http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10844>, to be able to remove some applications from the left bar. I wanted to propose it before 6.3M2 is released, so I have made a prototype (without doing a proper proposal) which is working quite well. You can see a screenshot there: http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/attachment/29296/customizable-app-bar.png The principle is very simple: on the left, you have the applications that you want to have in the app bar. On the left, the others (stored in a blacklist actually). You just need to drag&drop the icon from the left to the right, or from the right to the left, to change your settings. Then you click on "save" and voila. It is written with jQuery and jQuery-ui (loaded via a webjar). If you like it, I can commit it on master. FYI, you can already see the code there: https://github.com/gdelhumeau/xwiki-platform/compare/panels Here is my +1 to put it on master. WDYT?

It sounds good and simple enough to be intuitive. The hardest part will probably be to find the menu. Is it only accessible in the Admin panel (click on the top button, then click on "Admin the wiki" then click on left on the "Application panel menu")? It would be good to have it accessible from the panel itself (but maybe there is already something?). Anyway, nice work! I'm also +1 to commit that.

Hi Caty, I was talking about the "Configure" link in your snapshot (to access the menu to configure the AppBar). Since it's in the screenshot, it means that my question is already solved so that's good :-) (or at least planned). Thanks, On Fri, Oct 24, 2014 at 01:03:20PM +0300, Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) wrote:

Not sure what you mean, but just for the record AppBar come in the leftpanels by default, so no need to find it and add it. Regarding the easiness to configure it, currently we don't have it like that, but in the original proposal the configure link was in the 'More' section, see http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/Skin4x/profileDeskt… Thanks, Caty

Anyway, nice work! I'm also +1 to commit that. On Thu, Oct 23, 2014 at 06:17:09PM +0200, Guillaume "Louis-Marie" Delhumeau wrote:

I have created - http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-11332 and - http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-11331 Thanks, 2014-10-27 10:20 GMT+01:00 Guillaume "Louis-Marie" Delhumeau < gdelhumeau(a)xwiki.com>gt;:

Hi there. I am happy you like it. Concerning the order of the applications: this is something I have in mind as an improvement of the existing work, so it is not implemented yet. About having a link to easily find this "customizer" directly in the App Bar: I actually like the Caty's proposal and it could be an improvement too. Finally, I have implemented this first version that only enable the admin to customize the App bar, but again, we should be able, in the future, to offer this feature to all users in a way that each of them could have a different "favourite" bar. Thanks :) Guillaume

Hi, Just a small question, does the order you drag applications, have an impact on the order used to display them in the app bar ? Can you change this order in some way, or it's just in app bar / not in app bar ? Thanks, Jeremie 2014-10-23 18:17 GMT+02:00 Guillaume "Louis-Marie" Delhumeau < gdelhumeau(a)xwiki.com>gt;:

I also agree that Drag & Drop without considering the user's order would be a bit cumbersome/frustrating. If it's not done like that yet, it's definitely a good direction for improvement.

I also agree that we definitely need that the user be able to decide on the order in the list of apps displayed. Thanks -Vincent
