Add content by search from github
Anton McCon... I was demoing the project stuff on Friday to a designer in Toronto and adding content from git 10:57:55 AM ◄ I love how easy that is 10:58:11 AM ◄ and when we get the drag and drop working it'll be pretty amazing 10:58:17 AM ◄ but I thought it could be even easier 10:58:29 AM Malgorzata.T... What would you like to do there? 10:58:31 AM Anton McCon... because now you have to know the url 10:58:43 AM ◄ what if you could just search for it right from Orion 10:58:46 AM Malgorzata.T... a, yes, I think I see where this is going 10:59:05 AM ◄ there is a little problem there 10:59:13 AM ◄ if this is contributed by plugin 10:59:18 AM Anton McCon... There is a search api for github 10:59:53 AM Malgorzata.T... Anton McCon... is it out of the question to do this as a plugin for github - I think it'd be amazing across the board ... for example we could extend it one day to add images from flickr ( just as an example ) 11:03:28 AM Malgorzata.T... but does github have any API for searching for projets? 11:03:32 AM Anton McCon... it does it says it is in beta, but there is an api 11:04:09 AM Malgorzata.T... does it provide UI or it's just API? 11:04:16 AM Anton McCon... http://developer.github.com/v3/search/ 11:04:21 AM ◄ I think an api 11:04:22 AM ◄ for now 11:04:31 AM ◄ anyway - I don't want to distract you too much 11:04:43 AM Malgorzata.T... then it's not that bad, we could do something with it 11:04:46 AM Anton McCon... I just thought it would be a really positive thing to have 11:04:54 AM Malgorzata.T... we could create "Add Project from GitHub" 11:05:02 AM Anton McCon... The designer was really impressed 11:05:05 AM ◄ it was so simple 11:05:18 AM Malgorzata.T... and we would require only the search string 11:05:39 AM Anton McCon... yes 11:05:45 AM Malgorzata.T... and then we could use our command API to display the list of results 11:05:58 AM Anton McCon... all the magic would happen behind the scenes - because I think the api returns the url 11:06:04 AM Malgorzata.T... and user would check the one he wants to import 11:06:07 AM Anton McCon... y 11:06:10 AM Malgorzata.T... the only problem is 11:06:27 AM ◄ that our command framework is quite limited when it comes to input params 11:06:56 AM ◄ so we could extend it a little bit 11:06:59 AM Anton McCon... gosh - there's nothing more basic than entering a search string, or am I missing something? 11:07:12 AM ◄ you know better than me 11:07:14 AM Malgorzata.T... this is ok, I agree 11:07:23 AM ◄ but then if you have 10 resutls 11:07:27 AM Anton McCon... ah - I see 11:07:33 AM ◄ for the feedback 11:07:35 AM Malgorzata.T... how do you want to display them in this pupup? 11:08:17 AM that's what comes to mind, but I haven't thought long and hard about it 11:08:37 AM ◄ we could brainstorm for easier ways 11:08:43 AM Malgorzata.T... yes, but our command framework params 11:08:49 AM ◄ they look totally different 11:09:06 AM ◄ and work only like a proxy 11:10:01 AM Anton McCon... A I mentioned it to McQ 11:10:29 AM ◄ he liked the idea 11:10:42 AM Malgorzata.T... it would be really cool if we could have some UI rendering there 11:10:46 AM Anton McCon... As long as we can make it consistent 11:11:32 AM ◄ I think 11:11:35 AM ◄ that's the trick 11:12:07 AM Malgorzata.T... I think that the biggest problem here is that we can't properly open UIs from plugin 11:12:31 AM Anton McCon... but as you say, we could extend the capabilities of the plugin UI for this scenario . Anton McCon... maybe 11:12:47 AM ◄ the command UI 11:12:48 AM ◄ I mean 11:12:59 AM Malgorzata.T... well, this is not a bad idea 11:13:08 AM ◄ if we could add a search paramether 11:13:24 AM ◄ some kind of a widget that would call an UI 11:13:26 AM Anton McCon... I wonder if our own search could benefit 11:13:37 AM Malgorzata.T... we could also use it for attaching files and directories 11:13:41 AM Anton McCon... yes 11:14:02 AM Malgorzata.T... and why not, "push to branch" 11:14:05 AM Anton McCon... the more you point these things out, the more I think we need it 11:14:05 AM Malgorzata.T... etc 11:14:59 AM Anton McCon... so - I'll make a bug to start with 11:15:07 AM Malgorzata.T... ok ◄ Closing as part of a mass clean up of inactive bugs.
