Abstract

Quicklinks are the user-defined (and per-user) part of the navibar - (in the default theme) they are rendered to the right of the configured (and common) navibar links.

Users can use them for server-stored and easily/quickly accessible bookmarks - that's why they are called quicklinks.

Quicklinks don't scale to large amounts currently, because the navibar gets rather ugly then because it wraps and occupies a lot of screen estate.

Can you think of and implement a better solution?

Details

Please keep in mind:

• they are called quicklinks because they are quick to use (in the current approach it is just one click)
• one way might be to use javascript to hide part of quicklinks list if over 5 items, and show link to unhide remainder of list

Note: in moin2, the UI for quicklinks might be still missing or broken, but you can use some fixed configured list for experimentation:

    user_defaults = dict(         # ... start with a complete copy of this value from MoinMoin/config/default.py ...         quicklinks = [u"foo", u"bar", u"baz", ],         # ...     )

Deliverables: patch or changeset
