Splitting openDesktop plasmoid into two parts

2009-09-15 Thread Eckhart Wörner
Hi,

I'd like to split the openDesktop plasmoid into two parts:
- the first plasmoid should contain the user details, the friends list and the 
nearby users list
- the second plasmoid should contain the activity list (aka news feed)

Now the main question is how that split has to place. Do I have to move the 
newly created plasmoid to kdereview first?

I might add that most of the work for splitting has already been done, the 
activity list is a self-contained widget just waiting for the split. :-)

What would be the benefits of splitting them ?

how will they share the login settings? i doubt it makes sense to have to re-
enter your account details for every widget?

something we talked about way back in 4.0 is having a global openId 
associated with the current user's activity (and a default one for when there 
is no activity specific id). 

 Now the main question is how that split has to place. Do I have to move the
 newly created plasmoid to kdereview first?

no.

at the moment, the account details are a bit messed up anyway: the password is 
saved in KWallet by the ioslave responsible for ocs api requests (i.e. https 
normally), same for the user name (although you can set the user name in the 
plasmoid config dialog).

that doesn't sound messed up to me; username in the widget, password safely in 
the wallet. do you have a different idea in mind?

(and i do like the idea of being able to set one's identity globally)

not sure,
the personal data and the friend list is something that is not often used, 
while the activity list is a kinda of news source that changes often, it gives 
the opendesktop plasmoid some interesting to look at, otherwise yeah, it's 
interesting the nearby list if i have a mobile device, otherwise hmm...

Messed up means:
- the user name (and password) stored in KWallet by the https ioslave is used 
to make API calls
- the user name stored by the widget is used to show information related to 
yourself (i.e. your personal tab and your friend list)
