Re: [SMW-devel] Meta information for result printers

I am convinced :-). What remains unclear to me is how to report the expected input type of a parameter to a UI-creating interface. The types are not really standard things like "integer" and "string" but also things like "some template name" or "the name of a property printout in the query". Sho

Hey, I'm back from San Francisco and what I find? the Special:Ask discussion is getting hot ;) I have a few things to input - my experience shows that building universal UI builder is a hard thing to do - Yaron can probably second that. My approach to this problem before was to have subclasses bui

Markus - I think any info on the type of the parameter can just be part of the parameter description; an example would be, for the "zoom" parameter of the "googlemap" format, "The zoom level of the map (must be an integer between 1 and 18, with '1' being the furthest away)". Sergey - it's true tha

It's definitely a matter of taste, but there is nothing wrong in going in both directions where superclass implements parametrized input and subclasses implement their own forms if they want - this way there is path for extended solutions in subclasses and still there can be generic implementations

That sounds very good. I just realized that you asked before about the Google Summer of Code - there's a student who's applying to the GSoC to work on adding full support for mapping services to SMW - most notably updating Semantic Layers, but also, if there's time, adding support for services like

Yeah, I saw you on the list of mentors for MW ;) Looks like we'll get a huge support for mapping ;) BTW, advise him to make multiple releases during his project so only last one is not completed ;) Sergey On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 12:37 AM, Yaron Koren wrote: > That sounds very good. I ju
