Alternative Proposal for calendar_item_details

[kewisch]

One issue I had with calendar_item_details and the current event dialog is that it is hard to mimic the column layout without knowing what the column width is. I'm wondering if we should have a more granular item details approach where multiple frames are possible.

"calendar_item_details": [
  {
    "default_title": "__MSG_gdata_conference__",
    "default_panel": "/content/conference_panel.html",
    "default_icon": {
      "16": "/content/new-event-dialog-only/conference.svg"
    },
    "after": "location"
  },
  {
    "default_title": "__MSG_gdata_eventtype__",
    "default_panel": "/content/eventtype_panel.html",
    "default_icon": {
      "16": "/content/new-event-dialog-only/event-type-default.svg"
    },
    "after": null
  },
 {
    "default_title": "__MSG_gdata_whatever_tab__",
    "default_panel": "/content/tab.html",
    "default_icon": {
      "16": "/content/event_tab.svg"
    },
    "default_area": "tab"
  },
],

Or to drop the after:

"calendar_item_details": [
  {
    "default_title": "__MSG_gdata_conference__",
    "default_panel": "/content/conference_panel.html",
    "default_icon": {
      "16": "/content/new-event-dialog-only/conference.svg"
    },
    "default_area": "basic"
  },
  {
    "default_title": "__MSG_gdata_eventtype__",
    "default_panel": "/content/eventtype_panel.html",
    "default_icon": {
      "16": "/content/new-event-dialog-only/event-type-default.svg"
    },
    "default_area": "start"
  },
  {
    "default_title": "__MSG_gdata_thing__",
    "default_panel": "/content/thing_panel.html",
    "default_icon": {
      "16": "/content/new-event-dialog-only/thing.svg"
    },
    "default_area": "end"
  },
 {
    "default_title": "__MSG_gdata_whatever_tab__",
    "default_panel": "/content/tab.html",
    "default_icon": {
      "16": "/content/event_tab.svg"
    },
    "default_area": "tab"
  },
],

Where default area could be these. I'm not very creative with the names, but they are at least somewhat generic so that we could redefine the location.

• start: At the very top, for banners etc
• basic: After the basic metadata: title, location, category
• end: After all the other properties
• tab: As a a tab, at least in the current event dialog
