Hi Steve,

I have committed my notes here

http://cvs.openacs.org/cvs/openacs-4/contrib/packages/bcms-ui-wizard/www/TODO.txt?view=markup

The first part may not be interesting for you.  You can see some changes I have done on bcms, so you can start porting bcms-ui-base to these new changes on bcms.  It may not be fully updated, but its a good start.  On the last part of my notes are the procs I removed from bcms. I suggest to put them on bcms-ui-wizard/tcl.  Change the procname and use bcms::ui::wizard namespace or whichever you want.

Although there will be a few procs from bcms that will then be move to CR.  But its not yet there, I suggest you upgrade bcms-ui-wizard to bcms first.  Only change should only be the tcl proc name.

Yes bcms-ui-wizard will require a bcds.  bcms-ui-base has a bcds integrated in.  But bcms-ui-wizard sticks to be only a admin interface for CR folder it is managing.

Check this docs for better understanding.
http://cvs.openacs.org/cvs/openacs-4/contrib/packages/bcms/www/doc/

If you have bcms installed you can view it on your instance.  On youropenacs/doc/bcms

I am not sure regarding the page_id.  Hmmm I wonder if its a bug on the new wizard code I made.  Can you change your wizard-procs.tcl on acs-templating/tcl to a very old one?  Say oacs 4.5?

I thank you for taking this big challenge of upgrading bcms-ui-wizard.  Read the TODO.txt especially for the api changes that has to do with changing their semantics.  So the upgrade may not be straight forward.

I will try to help as much as possible. Its the least I can do after not yet upgrading bcms-ui-wizard.  Just keep on posting on this thread.  In case I did not reply on your last question.  Email me I might have missed your post.

Am I fixing bcms-ui-base as well as ui-wizard now? ;o)

Funnily enough I actually already did this. Great minds think alike.

Yes bcms-ui-wizard will require a bcds.

I have that working now. Could you explain the difference in the two bcds parameters - bcms_root_folder_id and root_folder_id? How are they used by the bcds?

Also, I have changed the call in the bcds default-sidebar template from bcms::folders::list_folders_and_ancesters to bcms::folders::tree_folders. Is this correct?

I've stepped over this for now. I'll come back to it soon and try that.

Yes, I'm beginning to appreciate just how big it is :o)
