By the way, 2 additional ideas : - You could add a static list property (with [1,2,3,4,5] as allowed values) to rank the importance / interest of favorites and display them according to their ranking on the page (thru a hql sort query) - Don't forget to add your application on http://code.xwiki.org/ once a first working version is out ;-) Guillaume On Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 11:32 PM, Mike Oliver <[email protected]> wrote:
Good ideas, I followed the ToDo example and created a Favorites space to store the documents but agree better to store them by user. I guess I can get it working in the ToDo model first and then move the location of the documents and change the filter accordingly.
Our messages passed on the wires where Posted my first pass.

Indeed. I'd still advise looking at how the watchlist feature is implemented since it somehow manages to store user preferences in their profiles and you're going to need that feature in your implementation I guess...
Not sure whether there's been any recent discussion on creating easy-to)use user profiles extension points - though this kind of use cases (as well
as
a bunch of others) show they're needed. I think there is a way to access them right now without changing the UserClassSheet (maybe by adding new kind of objects to user profile pages...)
Re your implementation, I'd advise having the list of favorited pages stored in one (or many) objects attached to the user profile page of the current user and writing a panel taking the currently logged user UserName as a parameter, retrieving the data from those favorite objects stored on his user page and displaying their values in the panel ...

Hi Mike,
Can I filter on the user that created the record of the favorites
class?
Sure... But why don't you have your users use the Watchlist feature that basically already is XWiki's favorites system for individual users ?
Cf http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/WatchlistApplication , it's bundled with all recent versions of XWiki Enterprise AFAIR ...
You might still want to add that description field though...

Idea is to allow the user to create the description? If so sounds
like
a
GREAT idea.
