[Xerte-dev] Re: adding button and link to xhibitapp to the workspace

Wed Apr 20 08:26:34 BST 2016

No holy war here, just wondering what happens when we also link to other tools and then starting thnking there are several other tools we could easily conceive of or link to, a bootstrap themer for example. I'll have a think about it as well.

My thinking was that this was a good way to give visitibility to it and that it would only become active when a project is selcted like some of the other buttons. Not sure I agree that the other buttons are about workspace - 6 of them are project actions?

I'll park this for now - just thought it was a quick thing to add and commit but probably needs further discussion.

I’d prefer to keep it locally to where it is needed. What happens when we have loads of other tools linked to this way?

I’d also like to give visibility to it because it is a nice piece of work and people will use it, but we could link to it from elsewhere in the workspace? The other buttons are all about actions on the workspace, this isn’t really in that category?

I did wonder about that but with the occasional problems with multiple editor windows I'm not sure it's a good idea to launch an external site from an open editor window?
Could result in session issues too e.g. by the time someone returns session expired but editor window still open.

Could change the tooltip and add (XOT template only)?

Should it be an <info> link on the LO icon in the main template?

It’s only for the main template, not bootstrap…?

(unless it also does bootstrap themes..?)

Hi all
just looking to add the xhibitapp link to the workspace but before I go too far here's a screenshot. The icon is obviously a css3 FA icon

[cid:image001.jpg at 01D19A4E.2C107E20]

Position, icon and tooltip ok?
Comments/Suggestions?

Ron
