Can you include a link under the Tasks section to display loaded directives (by core, plugin and user-defined groups?) This functionality used to exist when you started WEBRick and it spit them out to the console. Ed -- Ed Howland http://greenprogrammer.blogspot.com
Ed, Click the "View Configuration" link on the main Admin page to see the MasterView version number - it''s included on the config report, along with a report on the other masterview settings. I think that''s probably sufficient, not clear it''s necessary to clutter the powered-by logo msg with this amt of detail. (and yes, I know the config report page needs to be fixed so it''s shown in the framing context of the std admin section page layout and color scheme, I''ll fix for next release ''cause the current dump on that page looks pretty tacky) Suggested addition of reporting on the installed directives is good, I''ll put that on my to-do list of current work related to the directives architecture and documentation. ~ Deb -----Original Message----- From: masterview-users-bounces at rubyforge.org [mailto:masterview-users-bounces at rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of Ed Howland Sent: Friday, July 14, 2006 10:04 AM To: masterview-users at rubyforge.org Subject: [Masterview-users] Another suggestion for Admin page Can you include a link under the Tasks section to display loaded directives (by core, plugin and user-defined groups?)

Yes, that does it on the config page. Don''t know why I never thought of that. I am also looking forward to the sharing directives page. There are some directives I have that overlap with what others are doing. For instance, Jeff posted a user''s zip file of directives that had form_remote and text_field_tag. (The latter being very useful for search boxes.) I also did text_field_js which merges common_js_options into the options for the tag. That way you can put javascript validations, formatters on form fields. I plan to enhance this for checkbox, radio_button etc. Ed -- Ed Howland http://greenprogrammer.blogspot.com

I started looking at that last week and the basic mechanisms appear to already be in place in the rendering engine, so it''s mainly a matter of specifying the architecture of how a directive developer or user defines the namespace for a directive. Hope to get that sorted out and released over the next week. It''s an important piece of the foundation architecture to get settled down and leads into some interesting areas that Jeff is focusing on to make it easier to produce and deliver directives. ~ Deb
