Revision as of 21:19, 8 December 2014

This is an (incomplete) list of features that I plan to add. There are also good ideas from other people scattered around the wiki, which I should really add to this page, but haven't yet.

Note that this page reflects my current development version - if an item is removed from this page due to being implemented, it may not turn up in a public release for a little while.

The bug list has been moved to WikiDB/Bugs. Please report bugs there.

Back-end

  • Add 'date' data-type.
  • Joins in queries
  • Foreign key definitions

Syntax

  • Data definitions in a DB namespace shouldn't require the 'table' attribute (default to current).
  • Repeat tag syntax - some things to iron out (see WikiDB/Repeat tag syntax for the discussion)
  • Repeat tag - Allow ORing of criteria.
  • Repeat tag - Allow LIMIT argument (or maybe 'range').
  • Provide a mechanism for 'pass-through' parameters to the <data> tag (i.e. parameters that are supplied to the template, but which don't get added to the table). Suggestion is to prefix the name with an exclamation mark. Alternatively, an underscore could be used, as this is already reserved in table definitions, and therefore is not allowed in data tags (though this is not enforced) - may kill two birds with one stone...

Code Tidying

  • Add profiling statements.

Administration

  • 'What links here' should show templates that are included via data tags.

i18n / L10n

  • Ensure all user-visible strings come from the message cache.
  • The 'number' data type is not currently locale aware.
