Hi all,

 

I am not sure, but didn't smwplus have an editable table as result format? I
remember one could change the result values in the table and it was
rewritten to the source page using ajax.

 

Anyone else remembers it?

 

Regards

 

 

Argi

Properties Edit-Tables

 

Hey Hans,

 

This is a much discussed idea actually, which has been talked about on the
mailing lists several times.

General in-place result editing is practically impossible as far as I can
tell. One can do many irreversible computations (ie max) on results, and the
input values can be themselves the result of computations, or non-editable
values (ie page creation date). It is thus important to clearly identify in
which cases such support is feasible and which ones are in scope of the
system you will be creating.

An additional complication comes from the fact that the SMW query result and
query processing code is not in a very good state. It might be difficult to
extend it and use it in other contexts as the current ones, which is what I
suspect will be needed (or at least very useful) when doing such a project.

So yes, I agree this would be great to have, and if we can get the
functionality for at least simple cases, that'd be fantastic. You are right
in that this would be quite some task, which I hope I underlined with this
mail.

 

When moving forward with such a project, I highly recommend

* to communicate with the active SMW devs and other interested parties. Work
in a public repo, ask for code review, and design review.

* to work in incremental steps. Getting a small amount of solid
functionality in a release that can then be expanded is much better then
writing a pile of half-working things that never reach usable state.

* write tests

All these steps are essential in making such a project succeed.


Cheers
