Hello friends,
> - not every entry in the toolbar should have a counter, for example Main, > History, Info is confusing to have counters. The only relevant counters > IMO > are the Comments, Annotations, Attachments; oops, copy and paste carelessness. Thanks - the .nav-icons section could work as a toolbar and every action could > take you to the appropriate anchor (for example: clicking on the > history-clock icon should take you to #history) > - when you are using the .nav-control, the items in the navigation have > counters near the type, like "Attachments 3". Would be nice to have this > counter too when manually scrolling the navigation, like have the counter > not only on .attachments-link but also on #attachments-wrapper h2 Good calls, implemented. - in recent versions of XWiki (since 4.0) Comments are merged with > Annotations - good to know that :) * I think by default Annotation and Comments UIs should be merged, just > like they are now on a standard XE. Thank you, for the notice. > - "Main" section content: "Last Modified", "Created", "Tags" can be put in > the "Information" section although the last editor could be put near the > page title somewhere in order to be able to scan rapidly; - you could have a separate "Actions" section that contains page actions: > edit, export, etc. I moved the modified/created/tags into the information-- makes more sense. I created two new icons: edit and export to keep "edit" and "export" visible and more uniform/extendable (can have more options). What do you think of this solution? Or do you think I should consolidate edit and export into "actions"? I grouped it in that way originally (or at least in the source, and visually), but I thought as a section itself it might have been too vague/doesn't really convey what "actions" are, until you click on it--so I opted to separate them so it's more apparent what the viewer can do. Let me know what your opinion is on this. - "Main" naming of the section is kind of confusing since "Main" is also > the name of a space in XWiki. If you removed the things mentioned above > you > can call it "Navigation" or something else, since it will contain table of > content, quicklinks, recent, etc. (mostly panels content) Makes sense. Thanks Just for your information, I don't know if you've read my proposal about > Collaborative Editing > > http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/CollaborativeEditing Thank you, seems really interesting. Beautiful graphs/statistics are super engaging. The collaborative tool I think is definitely really useful as well--I know it is a big sticking point for gdocs. Although the topic is different from your project, you can see some mockups > of another possible skin for XWiki. Is build with Twitter Bootstrap just > like Jerome's Lyrebird. Could be useful to have as inspiration or at least > to know about it. yes, it has been very useful to learn more as I integrate. First, great work overall. I think we are on the right track to make > something great out of this summer of code! Thank you. Definitely great support from you and the community. Learning a lot in the process. I think the next step is to start integrating with XWiki. We'll probably > hit more real world problems doing this :) I agree, I have started doing this, but am already running into a few problems. The last couple days I was cleaning up the code/optimizing to prepare for this. I now tested the codes in firefox/chrome/opera/safari & android/wp/ blackberry(minor issue with it's inability to rotate text--thinking of a solution). The code also now implements html5 elements. You can create a repo on your github account or we can create one in > xwiki-contrib if you prefer. What you be great would be to have a pom.xml > for it, you can take inspiration from the one I've made for Lyrebird for > example. I can help you with that if you need. Here is the github for the implementation: https://github.com/jssolichin/xo5 I have a question about this. I know pom.xml is used to build for maven, but is it necessary for a skin/what other purpose does it serve? At the moment I'm just dropping files into: "webapps\xwiki\skins\"--since when I build Lyrebird, i get the xar (which i uploaded through the admin--something I don't see is needed yet since they are just configuration files for the skin right?) and the zip (which i unzip into the skins directory). Sorry If I am missing something big. Also, here is my understanding of xwiki skin, correct me if I'm wrong ( http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Skins seems to mostly be overriding than an overall change--is there another guide I am not seeing?). XWIKI sees the skin folder and looks for .vm files. If a .vm is not found in that skin's folder, it goes to the .vm in the templates folder. .vm calls on other .VMs for parts. My questions are: *Is there a way to see which .vm something is coming from? like a developer view or sth, that shows where all the parts are coming from (presently I am just ctrl+f the folder for a markup nearby to the things I want to change/add--doesn't seem to be very efficient.) *Is there a list of default .VMs that xwiki looks for? (this maybe over simplifying it, but like in wordpress, a skin has a core of index.php(main landing page), single.php(each post), archive.php (search/archive) etc. and they call on arbritary .php parts (eg. header.php, footer.php etc.)). Or am I thinking about this the wrong way? *I know this sounds a little bit vague, but what was your workflow in implementing bootstrap? I have to admit, I'm a little bit lost, and I'm afraid that I am going about this all the wrong way. *A more specific question, which you may not have time to answer, but presently I am stuck in coding the global breadcrumb section. So the way I am seeing it, it is being pulled from the menuview.vm, which calls upon macros.vm. I am changing the macros.vm (say to remove the down triangle ▼ ), but it seems that it is not changing the skin at all. Am I doing this incorrectly?/is there a cache not clearing? (this is in the repo xo5) On Code Style (http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/CodeStyle): *If I click the velocity, it leads me to an editor and not an article? Couple of random remarks : > * we need to think how the "search suggest" (search results as you type) > will integrate what if it replaces the main content area (where the article is for that page)? > * you can also start to think about the "edit" mode (say with the WYSIWYG > editor to begin with). Ok! Sorry if this all sounds really basic/there is an article that I am not reading (or I am missing/didn't see). If you could point me in the right direction, that would be sweet. Thank you again for all the patience and support!
