I don't think so. However: * The Watchlist application can almost be used as a Favorite application. Personally I'd also be in favor of improving the watchlist app so that you could set the notification period on a per-item basis (with a default period of course) and add a "no notification" option. We would probably still need a Favorite app but at least it would allow more use cases including a poor-man's favorite app * It's relatively easy to create an app for Favorites. The only tricky part is to add a "Add as Favorite" menu entry but that'll become very simple soon with the UI Extension feature that we're currently adding in XWiki 4.2. Actually with this UI Extension you would even be able to add a new Tab in your user profile for listing all your favorites for example. If you're interested here's how I would code it: * Create a FavoriteClass XClass * Register a new menu entry (in an existing vm file ATM) to add a new favorite * When the user clicks the menu entry, create a XObject of type FavoriteClass and add it to the current user document * Modify the User Profile Sheet to add a new Favorite tab and create a page to list all your favorites; it would use a Livetable to display all your favorites by getting all FavoriteClass XObjects for the current user * Add a new Menu entry in the Profile menu in the top right corner to directly go to your favorites page (again done currently by modifying a vm file) Hope it helps, -Vincent ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Good ideas, I followed the ToDo example and created a Favorites space to store the documents but agree better to store them by user. I guess I can get it working in the ToDo model first and then move the location of the documents and change the filter accordingly. Our messages passed on the wires where Posted my first pass.

Ok, I hadn't understood that those favorites were the same for all users, I
thought they would be user-specific, hence my previous remarks.

Re: [xwiki-users] Brainstorming XWiki Favorites
Ok so I can't count, that's three reasons.
I created a Favorites class in XWiki with three properties, Name(string),
Link(string) and Description(textarea).
I create a sheet and template and attached the Favorites Object to the
template.
I then created a page with
#set ($hql = ", BaseObject as obj where obj.name=doc.fullName
and obj.className='XWiki.FavoritesClass' and
obj.name<>'XWiki.FavoritesClassTemplate'")
#set ($favs= $xwiki.searchDocuments($hql))
#if ($favs.size() > 0)
#foreach ($fav in $favs)
* [${fav.Name}>{$fav.Link}]
#end
#else
#info("There are no Favorites in this wiki!")
#end
and since I had not yet created the first Favorite it showed No Favorites in
this wiki. Cool
Then I went back to the XWiki Favorites Class and created a new document and
populated the Name Property, Link Property and Description properties and
went back to the page with the search above...
it shows the literal fav.Name in the name of the link and Link as the URI
for the target.
if $fav the FavoritesClass object? I am guessing not.

I'd still advise looking at how the watchlist feature is implemented since it somehow manages to store user preferences in their profiles and you're going to need that feature in your implementation I guess... Not sure whether there's been any recent discussion on creating easy-to)use user profiles extension points - though this kind of use cases (as well as a bunch of others) show they're needed. I think there is a way to access them right now without changing the UserClassSheet (maybe by adding new kind of objects to user profile pages...) Re your implementation, I'd advise having the list of favorited pages stored in one (or many) objects attached to the user profile page of the current user and writing a panel taking the currently logged user UserName as a parameter, retrieving the data from those favorite objects stored on his user page and displaying their values in the panel ...

Re: [xwiki-users] Brainstorming XWiki Favorites
Well two reasons, one is that for the watchlist, which will show you a list of all the pages and spaces you are watching, is a sort of favorites, but what if you want to navigate to a place over and over again and it is buried down in a space someplace? Then what if you don't want to watch it and be notified for some reason, and then lastly what if you want to save a description so you can look at your favorites and pick "Oh that WebHome".

But why don't you have your users use the Watchlist feature that basically already is XWiki's favorites system for individual users ? Cf http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/WatchlistApplication , it's bundled with all recent versions of XWiki Enterprise AFAIR ... You might still want to add that description field though... Guillaume > > Ollie > > Wright, Philip wrote: > > > > Idea is to allow the user to create the description?

Re: [xwiki-users] Brainstorming XWiki Favorites
Ok if we assume this is a good idea, then is it correct to assume we can follow the Photo Album paradigm and create a class and sheet for favorites, and then create a page that shows the favorites in a filtered list? I suspect the panel will only be for creating favorites while in a page and adding the name and description before saving. The list of favorites would be a page the user can get to from the panel. Can I filter on the user that created the record of the favorites class? Ollie Wright, Philip wrote: > > Idea is to allow the user to create the description?

Idea is to allow the user to create the description? If so sounds like a GREAT idea.

Tags don't offer enough info to help much. So we are thinking about creating a Favorites class with fields for name, link/path and description. then a panel that shows your favorites. Does that sound right to the group or is there a better way? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Brainstorming-XWiki-Favorites-tp18222048p18222048.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
