There are no default values in any fields. Even if the file or URL doesn't yet exist the field should at least contain: http:// or c:\ (or precede the field). It wasn't obviuos to me whether or not the file was supposed to be a on my hard drive or not. For those fields a c:\ in the field or just before the field woulda helped.

I think we should be cautious about putting c:\ in the file fields. Odds are we'd get it wrong for a large portion of the audience and just annoy them. Personally, I think we're OK if we consistently label all the file inputs the same way. The http:// is more likely to be right, but it too has a problem if file:// or one of the other prefixes is really intended by a given user. Would it help if we put an icon next to the field to indicate file vs URL?

We can decide on the default values that got to go into some of the edit fields and pre-fill them appropriately. Setting these values in the ini files will do the job. Moving TFV to M7.

CCK bugs need to move out.

Bijal, if I can get higher priority on this then I get my automation working. And this will help testing a lot.

Marking this a blocker bug. Tentatively changing the TFV to M8.

I believe we decided default values. However, I will review this issue with Robin and make sure she gets a list of default values.

Robin, Brent, and I had a meeting to discuss the default display values for input fields (text fields, radio buttons, check boxes, and list fields) in the CCK Wizard. I took this information and created some default policies to follow: 1) Text Fields with Changeable Non-blank Default Values ------------------------------------------------------- Policy: When a text field defaults to something (not blank) that a user can change, explicitly show this default value Some Examples: a) Put "ftp://" with default Netscape site for the Network download FTP URL b) Put "http://home.netscape.com" in the animated logo URL text field c) Put actual file name and path for all graphic files for the animated logo d) Put actual bookmark file name and path for the bookmarks.htm file e) Put "Netscape 2000" in the "Browser Window's title bar field 2) Text Fields with Changeable Blank Default Values --------------------------------------------------- Policy: Text fields the default to a blank value should be left blank Some Examples: a) Company identifier (user agent string) b) Help menu item text and URL c) Technical support phone number d) Company name when customizing Internet Setup e) Path to executable for additional components 3) Radio buttons ---------------------------------------------------- Policy: Default radio buttons to the first option Example: a) Default to List PoP files alphabetically by description as oppose to by phone number 4) Check Boxes Policy: Check boxes should default to be checked Some examples: a) CD-ready installer b) Network-ready installer c) Include Internet setup Exceptions: a) Readme b) License agreement 5) Single line list boxes show with samples Policy: List boxes should contain at least one example entry as default. Some examples: a) CCK configuration should default with a single entry for "<default configuration>" or something similar b) List of PoP files should default with a single entry for "sample.nci" or something similar Is this clear or should I expicitly indicate for each UI element the default display value? Thanks, Bij

I've updated the CCK Wizard UI document (http://webgroup/cck/specs/cckwizard/wizard.htm) with all the default values for each wizard screen.

Bij, Robin, it appears that this bug now contains all necessary information. I'm going to give this one to Varada on the assumption that we can simply create, checkin, and build with a pre-filled CCK Wizard cache file to make this work. At some point, each configuration is going to have its own cache file and we'll have to copy the default into each new configuration when we create it. If that all works due to this bug cool. If not, we'll catch it when we fix the configuration handling.

I am marking this fixed now - if there are any other changes to be made - please let me know

Re-opening and updating Milestone to M11

Latest CCK Wizard Dated: 08-24-99 1. Launch CCK 2. Proceed to "Customizing the Netscape Browser - Part One 3. View the default text in the Animated Logo URL text field. Results: Currently, the text in this Animated Logo URL text field states: "c:\"... it should state: http:\\home.netscape.com Also, We are examining the possibility of removing all the Path text fields, that point to local customizable files, from the CCK UI. Default path text may not be needed.

oops... the above comment by me should state the Animated Logo URL as being: http://home.netscape.com not http:\\home.netscape.com

Bulk move from M11 to M14

Am changing this bug to later- since I have checked in the required .che files as of now.

LATER is deprecated per bug 35839.

taking all of varada's bugs.

Old CCK.
