#102 Make double click editing a user setting
Who ever came up with the idea that double clicking on
a .NET wiki page should edit the page?
I'd like an option (some kind of global cookie) to
disable the double click functionality in every wiki, I
use double click to select text and sentences in pages,
not to edit them.

This was implemented in build 1674. See RFE 1050067.

Hi, thanks for the response.
my request however was to have this functionality disabled
as a user preference, not the administrator of the wiki,
with some kind of 'preferences' or 'profile' page. Since it
doesn't require you to login, I think the preference should
be in a cookie and not in a user profile, like google does
with user preferences.
Thanks!

Ah, my mistake.
I've re-enabled this feature request, and changed the name
to be more descriptive. However, I kind of doubt anyone will
ever take this on, so if you want it to happen, I'd
encourage you to code it up yourself.

Hi,
Thanks, I'll take a look at the source and see what I can do.

I've made some additions:
in FlexWikiEngine (EngineSource.zip)
added the following classes/interfaces:
- UserPreferences
- UserPreferencesInfo
- UserPrefencesProviderFactory
- IUserPreferencesProvider
- CookieUserPreferencesProvider
I've chosen the provider model approach to enable
preferences to be saved/loaded in database instead of
cookies.
in FlexWiki.Web:
- UserPreferences.aspx
- UserPreferences.aspx.cs
modified:
default.aspx.cs
It introduces the following new AppSettings option:
<add key="EnableUserPreferences" value="[True|False]"/>
I just wasn't able to find where to add a link in the menu on
the left with 'User Preferences', could you add this?
The UserPreferences class has a static bool
property 'AreUserPreferencesEnabled', and the link should
only be shown if it's True.

Ah yes the modifications where made in today's CVS
anonymous check out. If possible I'd like to become member
of the project.
Thanks!

Sorry - we can't accept submissions unless you send in an
assignment agreement. You can read all about it at
http://www.flexwiki.com/default.aspx/FlexWiki/AssignmentAgreement.html.
You might in general want to read up on our development
procedures at
http://www.flexwiki.com/default.aspx/FlexWiki/DeveloperHome.

You must kidding me!
How can you build an open source community like that?
Do microsoft guys have to take the fun out of everything?
Can't it just be some kind of checkbox?
I've requested the assignment agreement, how long is that
going to take?

FlexWiki is built on code written about 90% by a Microsoft
employee. So technically MSFT could have just closed the
source - they own it. The Assignment Agreement is the
condition for opening it up. Not my favorite thing either,
but it beats not having it be open source at all.
And in practice it seems to work just fine. If you look at
some of the problems other projects have had with licensing,
it's nice to know that we won't have them. And because we're
not using the GPL, you're free to make the changes on your
own without having to contribute them back, even if you
distribute your changes. Of course, we hope that you will
choose to contribute your changes.
How long will it take? Unfortunately, it can take a while.
Hopefully not long, but sometimes they're somewhat slow.

well, I guest I'll just have to wait for the agreement.
You're right, it does beat closed source. I just think giving
source code with your apps could improve the MS coder's
community extremely, especially because there are a lot of
VB developers who never had the chance to real OO coding
techniques before.
You wouldn't believe how much I learned from just navigating
reading Borland Delphi's VCL, even though that's not real
open source, and it's a better reference than the
documentation.
now I build most of my apps with the Mono source, just
because it allows you to see the inner workings of the
framework.
what other problems with licensing do you mean? could you
give an example? I think a good alternative to the GPL is the
MPL, but maybe MS doesn't want to have anything to do with
something that comes from Netscape ;-)
Thanks for your response... Wiebe

Problems with licensing: when you have multiple
contributors, changing ownership or license later requires
that you contact everyone and get their permission. It can
be difficult to find them, let alone get their permission. I
have heard that NAnt has exactly this problem, but I can't
confirm that.
As far as the MPL, what's wrong with the CPL? It's basically
like the GPL, but it doesn't constrain what you can do as
much. Specifically, it lets you link to FlexWiki code
without forcing you to choose an open source license.
BTW, this is probably totally the wrong place for this
discussion. I suggest we move it to the flexwiki-users
mailing list.

Agreed to move it. Looking forward to being able to contribute.

Hi Candera,
I've received confirmation that my assignment agreement (on
my name, Wiebe Tijsma) was received correctly, can you
confirm this, and if yes, could you add my contribution or
grant me developer access?
It could also be that I need to add more tests or
documentation to the contribution, if required let me know.
