Right Boxes conventions
Reported by ProLoser | January 27th, 2010 @ 03:47 PM | in 0.6 alpha
This is a thought I had looking at the blog plugin. Hopefully it might help other developers in picking up infinitas.
The Blog Plugin has an element called right_boxes.ctp. I'm sure you're using this filename as a convention. I also noticed it holds both comments information AND information unique to the plugin itself (blog posts pending, etc).
1: I think you should rename these elements to 'widgets'. Namely because position is arbitrary, say if a css designer makes a new admin layout with different placement. Widgets seem like small bodies of factoidal information.
2: I think you should move the 'comments' php into it's own comment widget. Make this widget available to all plugins that have commenting enabled. This way, developers only need hassle about functionality they bring to the table (pending blog posts). In addition, when designing the layout, they can choose wether or not they want to display this widget AND the comments widget.
I might be wrong in assuming you stack right-boxes together. I may also be suggesting a poor solution due to the issue of which plugins/tables/features implement the comments, or how those comments are counted, may be too unique from implementation to implementation in order to generalize.
I hope this isn't confusing
