Golden Widget Rule: 6) When a widget is dependent on working with respect to another widget(s) an error popup. This popup should only occur when an action is being requested by the user.
eg. of Rule # 6 is bug 124
Golden Widget Rule #7: Widget Parameters that deal with paths should always be relative to the template the user is building. eg. "./images/icon_*.png Otherwise if it is an image that is found under the chameleon application eg /htdocs/images/icon_*.png this should be a url. This is even if it is on the same server. To many times the image path causes the biggest confusion for users, and varies greatly from widget to widget is located.... I am expecting a stink about the above comment from the developers, but I only wish to get feed back on this major limitation to the usability of this technology. Thanks Please make all comments to this specific Golden Rule #7 to: bug 127.
we'll take a look at this and try to set up some guidelines for widget development but it will be post 1.99
updated version to 1.99
