I'm half-tempted to write a plugin -to make ticking items off and adding items easier via the web interface. I'm -aware though that this is not really what ikiwiki is designed for. Would -anyone else find this useful? -- [[users/jon]] - ----- - -My subsequent thoughts about how to approach this are two-fold. - -Firstly, a filetype for todo lists, probably OPML, but I haven't looked to see -if there is something more suitable. A plugin that converts this source into a -traditional page output, i.e. a DOM tree of ul or ol and li elements. - -Secondly, some magic javascript to make editing the list via the web page -more interactive: add items, strike items out, reorder items etc., without -round-tripping to the cgi for each operation. - -Finally, a mechanism whereby the changes made to the page live can be -committed back to the repository: - - * ...perhaps the input → output conversion is reversible, and the HTML DOM - representing the list can be transformed back into the source and submitted - to the cgi like a regular edit: issues include the result of other - postprocessing: templates, wikilinks, etc. - * perhaps an embedded copy of the source is included in the output and the - javascript operates on that in tandem with the static copy - * perhaps the "output" is generated live by the JS at view time (with maybe - a plugin-generated rendered output for non JS environments) - -I envisage a button called "commit changes" appearing once some changes are -made that submits the changes to the CGI, perhaps via a back channel. I'm not -sure how to handle embeds or challenges from the CGI such as a login challenge -(maybe the back channel would not be necessary in the first cut). - -> You might look at the [[plugins/hnb]] plugin. HNB supports checklists. -> There's not a fancy web interface, but the hnb command-line program can -> be used to edit them. --[[Joey]] - ->> thanks - I'll give it a look. I spent a few hours writing some javascript to manipulate a ul/li DOM tree in an outliner-fashion the other day. I might be able to join the puzzle pieces together sometime. [[Jon]] - -a solution for this could be similar to a solution for [[todo/structured page data]], as todo lists are definitely a form of structured data. (in both cases, the page's current content is rendered into a html form, whose result is then saved as the page's new contents) --[[chrysn]] - -> Thanks for the link: yup, there's definitely some common ground there. -> -- [[Jon]] - ----- - -I had a little spare time in a conference recently so I hacked on this. I -managed to get something working with anonok, a "markup format" that was -essentially just UL and LI elements and some javascript. I'll try and get an -example up of that soon (and publish the code). There's still quite a lot of -work necessary, but it's more than an idle thought at least! - -I've moved this page under the [[todo]] heirarchy as I'm actually working on -this now. -- [[Jon]] |
