I think Danny wanted to propose this for 3.3 but forgot to mail this list? The workflow status shows that he proposed it.
Motivation ========== The display menu is a setting that controls how an object presents itself to the user. Right now it suggests it is a switch that every user can change at will not knowing it is persistent among all the users. Therefore this menu should be part of the settings tab in the edit form. Assumptions Proposal ======== First: remove the Display menu and add a field to the settings tab of the edit form where it belongs. Second: a Display view should be able to provide a custom property sheet that is loaded into this settings form whenever you pick a display type. These properties give the user options to set parameters for the chosen view. A thumbnail view for instance could provide an option telling how many thumbs are shown. The point is that you don't know this in advance so the view should somehow provide this property sheet. -- Wichert Akkerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It is simple to make things. http://www.wiggy.net/ It is hard to make things simple. _______________________________________________ Framework-Team mailing list Framework-Team@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/framework-team
