Hi, This is a proposal regarding the improvement of the Add menu in order to: - specify a template for the newly created entities (space/page); - specify also applications templates; - some improvements for the create page step: the ability to select an existing space or create a non-existing one + position changes.
You can see the proposal at http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/CreateMenuProposal The "Add" menu could contain just the entries: - Page - Space - Application. In the usability interviews I had, no one used the other shortcuts ('Comment to page; Attachment to page'), but the interviewers were not beginners users, so if someone from the community is using those shortcuts please tell us if you want to keep them. The Create Space step relates to http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-6684 The Create Page step relates to http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XE-897 For the application homepage http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/ApplicationWithinMinutesProposalI2/homepage.png the create action will auto-generate the page name (according to the options) and will preserve the current space [1]. With this proposal we can benefit from the contextual actions (for applicationWithinMinutes inside the designated space) but we are not dependent completely of the space, being able to create application instances in an universal manner from the "Add" menu. Also, the existing behavior for the wiki pages will be preserved. The default option for the template + location will modify accordingly to the context where the "Add" menu was launched. Please provide feedback. Thanks, Caty [1] http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/mac6a24us4ucmp3j _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
