Re: [Carbon-dev] Improvements to Gadget Upload UI

[Lalaji Sureshika]

Thanx  for the comments Sumedha ayya :).

1. We already have a concept of a DAR. What is the different between DAR &
ZIP? Right now,  Carbon Studio supports creating DAR. Having too many
options is confusing.

Agreed.I will look into Dar archive model.

2.  You should not be adding a button to 'Gadget Upload UI' to modify the
gadget. Modifying the gadget option should be available on two locations.
Here I meant a button to edit the gadget source.

- Page where we list all the available gadgets
- On the gadget's setting's tab itself

Modify option should be made available for a user with proper permissions
only.- This is concerned.

Thanking You,

Best Regards,

Nuwan,
I was thinking along the same line & wasn't referring to have the ability to
edit the gadget on the gadget itself. :-)
It's just a matter of providing a link to gadget source on the repository.
(We have it right now. But there are some usability issues with current
impl)

What happened to Lalaji?

Yeah I believe we will be using the DAR as our one and only gadget archiving
method and use it across the product to upload the gadgets to the dashboard
as well as to the repository.

+1 this link/button will be in the gadget listing at the admin's view

-1, These settings are mainly about permission related and/or modifying the
gadget itself, hence adding it inside the gadget is not practical.

My Initial idea, was to have,


   1. A link called "permission" where all gadgets are listed (per gadget)
   to manage gadget permissions
   2. A link called "Modify Gadget" in the gadget details modification area

Both these links will be directed to the Registry UI, where we have a custom
UI for gadget editor and also a permission view.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Lalaji,
Here comes some comments. (Not sure if these are 'warm' enough ;-) )...

1. We already have a concept of a DAR. What is the different between DAR &

[Carbon-dev] Improvements to Gadget Upload UI

[Lalaji Sureshika]

Hi,

Currently I'm working on some improvements to the Gadget Upload UI.It
provides an interface to upload new gadgets to the gadget repository and do
further modifications on added gadgets.
The existing Gadget Upload UI provides the support for uploading gadgets as
seperate xml files or getting urls of gadgets. I'm working on extending this
gadget uploading functionality available for zip uploads.

And also,when an user  modify gadget related information from this UI,he
could modify gadget name,description,gadget path and gadget screen-shot.It's
better if there's a link to modify the gadget xml content and permissions
too.Else user need to browse registry to modify the gadget xml content and
permissions.I added a button in Gadget Upload UI, which will direct to the
place where the gadget xml resides in the registry.Hence once a user need to
modify gadget related information through this UI,he also able to modify
gadget xml file and permissions on it.
Your comments are warmly welcome.

Thanking You,

Best Regards,
