#26 Record the URL or file path to the HTML page layout

[Kevin Roche]

Add an additional field to each pagestate in which to record the URL or file path to the HTML page layout for that page.

In a typical project I follow the wireframe with an HTML mock-up of each page and have noticed that in many cases I end up using the printed out map of page states to keep track of when I have created the mock-up. Inevitably changes to the mock-ups affect the wireframe and there is a little iteration. It would be good to ensure that every pagestate has a mock-up and I even wondered if using something that would pop up a thumbnail to the page would be helpful.

Hi Kevin,

As you know, I had a personal issue with this, because I don't want to see the wireframe become the MASTER document for any application that I build.

Saying that I have come around to the fact that lots of other people like to be able to work backwards and update their wireframe as their prototype is developed. Thus keeping the wireframe in-sync with the prototype.

To me, that seems like a lot of wasted effort... but that just me!

Subsequently, I certainly see the value in this request and believe that we should update the project to include this feature. Quite a few people have asked for it, and this is a community-based project!

Would you like to work on this task?
