[WebMacro-user] WM Wiki Implemnentation

[Lane S. <la...@op...>]

Greetings,

WebMacro Wiki is a pluggable architecture. You create a page action 
handler which renders a class of  pages. Not every url request  defaults 
to the standard page renderer. For example, there is an admin class 
handler for url requests which begin with "Admin".

I am thinking of writing a base class and calling it Record. Then, with 
a lot of utility call-backs in this class, a subclass could be, 
"Survey", "ProblemReport", "Policy", etc. Each subclass would have its 
own VLH storage partition. The pages would be addressable as 
http://www.webmacro.org/EmployeeSuggestions with varying parameters for 
entering a suggestion, editing one, or listing one or many. With 
WebMacro Version 2.0, building the form would be accomplished as a 
templet along with some other goodies in the 
file, EmployeeSuggestions.wmt. All nice and neat and tidy.

This would make our WM Wiki extensible to structured records. And, if I 
am not mistaken, we could leverage our built-in renderers to render 
structured fields: a structured record could have a wiki text field, an 
img reference, and an http reference.

eric: what do you think about adding structured records following this 
design pattern?  Would it be hard to have a field type, 
"WebMacroWikiText" in a record or whatever the class it should be to 
contain text which was parsed and rendered?

regards,
