--- Comment #9 from Lupo <lupo.bugzi...@gmail.com> 2012-03-26 06:05:03 UTC --- (In reply to comment #1) > Also, what kind of extension module would load 'site' or 'user'? That sounds > evil to me. Not evil at all. Use cases from the Commons: Common.js implements some cookie-based preference mechanism called JSconfig for gadgets and other scripts. (The code for this is in Common.js because that used to be loaded also on Special:Preferences, so the script could add UI elements allowing the user to comfortably set these preferences. I just noticed that Common.js isn't loaded anymore on Special:Preferences, so that doesn't work anymore. However, I notice that the "user.groups" module is loaded on Special:Preferences...) Gadgets who want to query these JSconfig settings have a dependency on the "site" module. Another way to define settings for gadgets that is widely employed is by letting users configure gadget behavior through flags and variables set in their user JS. That, however, means that gadgets using this mechanism have a dependency on the "user" module. Both mechanisms used to work fine, because user JS and site scripts were loaded before gadgets executed. Sine MW 1.19 (or maybe already 1.18), that is no longer true. So, in summary, we need: * A way to set gadget preferences. Maybe by having some JS loaded and executed also on Special:Preferences. Or give us a new page Special:GadgetPreferences where JS can run and add prefs. Or some way to specify declaratively which preferences a certain gadget has. * A way of specifying dependencies on the default-loaded modules without causing them to be loaded multiple times. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
