[Phpwiki-talk] Wikilens-phpwiki integration: PageList custom column problems

[Scott Y. <sy...@cs...>]

Reini,
My name is Scott Yilek and I'm working on wikilens with Dan Frankowski. 
 We've recently been trying to integrate wikilens with phpwiki and we 
are still having a few issues with the new pagelist custom columns.

The main problem is that we need to send each column more parameters 
than are currently allowed.  Currently each custom pagelist column's 
constructor gets $params which is always assumed to be length 4 with 
$params[3] as the reference back to the pagelist object.  If any other 
parameters are needed, the constructor gets them from the pagelist 
object: $this->_pagelist->getOption('user')  for example.  This doesn't 
quite work for us because we need each column to get its parameters 
independently from the other columns.  For example, we can't do 
getOption('user') if we want a column for each buddy; we need to send in 
the buddy as a parameter.

What would be great is if each column's constructor could accept more 
parameters as necessary.  The way Dan Frankowski proposed originally 
worked well for this because we could create our own column objects how 
we liked them and just sent them into pagelist to be added.  Do you 
think we should go back to this or do you see a better solution?

Thanks!
Scott Yilek
