Re: [smartweb-devel] Features of the modules

[Roberto Lo G. <rlo...@sm...>]

Hi Anna, I'll try to answer on the modules which doesn't already have
an official specific maintainer.

--- module i18n
> ·       What supplies the module?
This module provides support for localization and in it's actual
implementation it provides the ability tu customize a string in the
database (usually descriptions of some sort) basing on a locale. this
should allow to provide different strings to different users for the
same business object. The same feature is provided for entire JSPs:
you can provide different JSP for different users based on their
locale.

> ·       Can you list the elements of the module?
The main elements are: a ServletFilter which intercepts locale
changes, a RequestProcessor which redirect requests to JSP based on
the logged user locale, a LocaleID which represents a composite
identifier usable to localize BusinessObjects and a
MultilanguageString which allows localized strings.

> ·       Can you describe the main features of the module?
They are listed in the first question I suppose.

You should find it on the modules documentation.


--- module file
> ·       What supplies the module?
it will provide (it's not yet alfa quality now) support for file
management like a virtual disk storage, allowing to directory
browsing, file upload and download.

> ·       Can you list the elements of the module?
It contains an UploadForm capable of multipart form handling and few
business objects to represent a file system structure (File and
Directory)

> ·       Can you describe the main features of the module?
The main feature, in addition to which I already mentioned above, is
it will provide file upload feedback through AJAX enabled upload
progress bar, something like what your browser already provide for
download.

Not yet available, sorry


--- module trace
> ·       What supplies the module?
It provides support to track feedbacks: you can insert a link into an
email and you will be able to know who have followed the link.

> ·       Can you list the elements of the module?
It mainly consists of an Action to capture links clicks and redirect
to the correct page with the addition of a couple of BusinessObjects
to store tracking informations

> ·       Can you describe the main features of the module?
I think I've already presented the features... nothing to add

> ·       Can you add some code lines in order to explain how the module can be
> used?
I'll provide something into the module documentation


--- module news
> ·       What supplies the module?
This module will (actually beta quality) provide the ability to write
and display short texts like breaking news and stuff like that

> ·       Can you list the elements of the module?
Apart form Actions for news editing and display and business objects
to map News, Author and Category it has nothing exceptional

> ·       Can you describe the main features of the module?
I wish to include one or more news roller scripts to be used say in
home pages to display latest news

> ·       Can you add some code lines in order to explain how the module can be

It's hard to condense in a few lines, I think the module is used in a
very basic mode.


Other modules I will describe soon are:

browse
forum
mail
report
shop

I'll not describe the shell module as it has been moved to a top level
independent project on sourceforge and I'm going to remove it from the
smartweb modules at all.

Thank you again for your effort.
