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 ;-)

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 ...

I don't think so.
However:
* The Watchlist application can almost be used as a Favorite application. Personally
I'd also be in favor of improving the watchlist app so that you could set the
notification period on a per-item basis (with a default period of course) and add a
"no notification" option. We would probably still need a Favorite app but at
least it would allow more use cases including a poor-man's favorite app
* It's relatively easy to create an app for Favorites. The only tricky part is to add
a "Add as Favorite" menu entry but that'll become very simple soon with the
UI Extension feature that we're currently adding in XWiki 4.2. Actually with this UI
Extension you would even be able to add a new Tab in your user profile for listing all
your favorites for example.
If you're interested here's how I would code it:
* Create a FavoriteClass XClass
* Register a new menu entry (in an existing vm file ATM) to add a new favorite
* When the user clicks the menu entry, create a XObject of type FavoriteClass and add it
to the current user document
* Modify the User Profile Sheet to add a new Favorite tab and create a page to list all
your favorites; it would use a Livetable to display all your favorites by getting all
FavoriteClass XObjects for the current user
* Add a new Menu entry in the Profile menu in the top right corner to directly go to your
favorites page (again done currently by modifying a vm file)
Hope it helps,
-Vincent
