Feedback on ParentRefactorAddOn

-- VictorHugoGermano - 2009-11-18

Thank you Victor for contributing this add-on!

For now I set the TopicClassification to IncompletePackage. Once you have the first .zip package available you can set it to AddOnPackage.

Possibly choose a different name for the package? Wiki page refactor sounds like page content refactoring (someone might post an extension to do that in the future), whereas your add-on does page re-parenting in a usable way. Possible names: ParentRefactorAddOn, ReParentAddOn, PageReParentAddOn, ...

You can use TWikiVariables to make the script portable. For example, use "%SCRIPTURL{save}%/%WEB%/" instead of "http://localhost/twiki4.2/bin/save/Sandbox/"

Nice! thanks Peter. You are right, I'll change the name and put more TWikiVariables.

I moved the discussion from the ParentRefactorAddOn topic to this new dev topic.

Some more feedback for suggested enhancements:

• It is not clear where to copy the parentRefactorAddon.txt content. Into a topic? Possibly ship complete topic containing the Javascript, such as a data/TWiki/ParentRefactor.txt file
• Package the add-on as zip file ParentRefactorAddOn.zip, content:
  • data/TWiki/ParentRefactorAddOn.txt -- add-on documentation topic
  • data/TWiki/ParentRefactor.txt -- refactor topic
• Attach this zip file to ParentRefactorAddOn (the queries with download link in the Plugins web assume that package name)
• Suggestions for plugin documentation topic:
  • This topic is meant to be distributed with the package, therefore avoid links to Plugins web. Use inter-wiki links to point back to TWiki.org, escape links (with preceding <nop>), or link normally if topic exists in any TWiki where where add-on is installed.
  • Instead of "I did" voice use neutral voice
• Consider requesting SVN access to maintain add-on in Subversion. See ReadmeFirst and linked topics for details.

The location of the "jqueryui" packages has changed and so this Add-on package does not work now. To make it work, in the downloaded file "parentRefactorAddon.txt", replace the following lines -

<script type="text/javascript"	src="http://jqueryui.com/latest/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"	src="http://jqueryui.com/latest/ui/ui.core.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" 	src="http://jqueryui.com/latest/ui/ui.draggable.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"	src="http://jqueryui.com/latest/ui/ui.droppable.js"></script>

with

<script type="text/javascript"	src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"	src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.3/jquery-ui.js"></script>

This should fix this Add-on and make it work.

Thanks Sree.

The add-on package should be updated accordingly.
