Description

« Hide

It is useful for customization purposes to know which workspace or section is the nearest in a given context.

For instance local themes should not be set on 'simple' folders, but only on Sections and Workspaces or any other type of managed area (Room, Space, Site...), e.g.

- Workspace1 <==
|_ folder1
|_folder2 (*)

The idea is to be able to obtain local information without having to read data for every folder in the context path.

Via the navigationContext you can get the currentWorkspace:
- via the context variable : currentWorkspace
- via navigation Context : navigationContext.getCurrentWorkspace

I think it does work OK for worspaces.
It is not implemenyed for now for sections.

Jean Marc : can you test the currentWorkspace feature and if it's OK, I will had the same stuff for Sections.

OK, I'm testing it with workspaces and I restrict the "theme" tab to workspaces for now.

What is needed then is an abstraction in the API so that it doesn't matter if the nearest unit is a section or a workspace, or a room, or a space ...

Maybe we need a new facet for the Workspace and Section types? How should it be named? PlacefulArea? ThemeArea?

Just call it 'space', that would include workspaces, sections, ... but not simple folders. It should be possible for other document types to tell that are a type of 'space'.

then no need to refer to 'theme' or 'placeful', since that has to do with the use that we do of it.

also a new Seam context variable is needed to replace 'currentWorkspace' with 'currentSpace' or call it 'area', 'currentArea', ...

Ok, let's go with currentSpace, I'll do it ASAP.

New Seam context variable : currentSuperSpace
new getter on navigationContext : getCurrentSuperSpace

SuperSpace document are all documents that have the SuperSpace facet.
For now :
  - Workspace and Section types
  - Roots (Workspaces, Sections, Templates)
  - Domain

If not found the Root of the repository is returned.
