hi Jacques, So you mean you agree the solution that a new attribute should be added, right?
I still doubt it. I don't think it is the best idea to add attributes for such requirements. Such creep changes without an elegant overall solution is kind of dangerous. Maybe it is time to refactor our design to allow customization without changing core schema. Just my personal opinion. Look forward to more comments. -- Regards, Michael Xu (xudong) www.wizitsoft.com | Office: (8610) 6267 0615 ext 806 | Mobile: (86) 135 0135 9807 | Fax: (8610) 62670096 On Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 4:55 PM, Jacques Le Roux < jacques.le.r...@les7arts.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I agree with Hans and Raj on this. > > There has been a related discussion on this subject in the past. > http://markmail.org/message/ed4l4trj3cotnuvv > From this thread, I collected some ideas here > > http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/New+Features+Roadmap+-+Living+Document#NewFeaturesRoadmap-LivingDocument-Quickeranintuitiveaccesstobasicfunctionnalities(creation,etc > .) > > I'd suggest to create an umbrella Jira issue and to create a subtask for > the "Small help icon next the form field title" idea > > Thanks > > Jacques > > From: "Hans Bakker" <mailingl...@antwebsystems.com> > > I would think that: >> >> help: description of the field and the purpose within the system. >> tooltip: some other info: "optional/required" or "empty for new number" >> >> Regards, >> Hans >> >> On Tue, 2010-01-12 at 16:27 +0800, Michael Xu (xudong) wrote: >> >>> hi Raj, >>> >>> What's the difference between 'help' and 'tooltip'?
