How "views" work in Citadel (beginning with v6.00)
--------------------------------------------------
- (Note: this stuff isn't finished yet; we're still building the framework.)
-
There's no need to be rigid and stupid about how different rooms are presented
in a Citadel client. And we don't enforce things either. But there's a need
to make things look the way the user wants to see them. For example, we might
always choose to see a room full of private mail as a summary (one line per
message) rather than always dumping out the entire contents like we do on a
-typical BBS room. An address book room might look better as a tabbed view
+typical message room. An address book room might look better as a tabbed view
or something, rather than as a bunch of messages with vCards attached to them.
This is why we define "views" for a room. It gives the client software a
basis by storing it in the 'visit' record for a particular room/user
combination. It is visit.v_view and is an integer. Naturally, there also
needs to be a default, for users who have never visited the room before. This
-is in the room record as quickroom.QRdefaultview (and is also an integer).
+is in the room record as room.QRdefaultview (and is also an integer).
The values currently defined are:
-#define VIEW_BBS 0 /* Traditional Citadel BBS view */
+#define VIEW_BBS 0 /* Bulletin board view */
#define VIEW_MAILBOX 1 /* Mailbox summary */
#define VIEW_ADDRESSBOOK 2 /* Address book view */
+#define VIEW_CALENDAR 3 /* Calendar view */
+#define VIEW_TASKS 4 /* Tasks view */
+#define VIEW_NOTES 5 /* Notes view */
