To follow proper naming conventions. Widget names should not have the word widget in there name. The only widget that could have the word widget in its name is the CWCWidget, since it is used as a developers tool to create new widgets. Here are a list of widget names that could be changed: MapDHTMLWidget -> MapDHTML PrintWidget -> PrintPopup HelpWidget -> HelpPopup
do we have a formal set of naming conventions :) I agree with the MapDHTML and PrintPopup changes, but the HelpWidget is not actually a Popup, it just displays the help text for a particular widget at the location in the template that you put it. There are likely other widgets that should have their name changed. I propose that the product group does a thorough review of all the widget names, if we are going to change any then I'd like it to be soon because it will break existing applications.
Set Target Milestone to 1.99 RC
accepted - but we need a mechanism for supporting deprecated widget names through several versions. Suggestion is to silently ignore in current version, warn in next version and throw error in subsequent versions.
MapDHTML was covered in bug 632. HelpWidget is no longer applicable (EmbeddedHelp). For PrintWidget, I would like to find a different name. I am thinking of MapProduction ... any problems with this?
That sounds good for me.
completed by renaming PrintWidget to PrintProduction.
