Hi devs,
I'm working currently on the new comments and ratings plugins. The
objective is to allow to separate the comment code from the core to
allow different implementation which can be:
- comments as objects to the page (the current implementation)
- comments as separate pages
- ratings separated from comments
- comments and ratings merged
We have code in the sandbox
http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/sandbox/plugins/comments/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/plugin/comments/
There is a patch for the core to call the comments code in the sandbox also.
Now we have currently used a plugin oriented entry point which calls a
CommentsManager which is a separate module. It does not seem very
practical to call the plugin from the core. I've been thinking that it
would be better to make the CommentsManager a component, with the
interface in the core, and separate the implementations in a comments
component in the xwiki-core-comments. The approach would be similar to
Artem's approach on the query plugin.
Then we would use a velocity bridge to expose the comments to the
velocity scripting.
Is that the right approach ? Is there documentation to help me achieve
this ?
Can some of our core devs looks at the comments code and provide some
feedback to improve this. I think we can improve it significantly.
We need comments and ratings as separate pages pretty quickly so we need
feedback very soon to be able to take it into account.
WDYT ?
