I do not think that this requires a REST service. Calling configuration modules in a specific order is pure client side (web ui) functionality imho.
I think client side is not sufficient as you must somewhere store what is already configured and what missing.
The respective backend service should be able to report its status. I fail to see the need for keeping this information in a separate database (resp. service). Maybe I'm overlooking the obvious, though ... [...]
I plan use "configuration needed" for wizard purpose, so when configuration needed is set then via layout (I plan discuss it with our external consultant) show next/back(?) buttons and after clicking on next is stored that this part of configuration is done.
This looks more like a generic 'workflow' or 'wizard'. Thats something for our UI guys ;-) (Robert L., Martin S.). Pleass have them involved.
So this state say only that we want show navigation thrue basic settings.
Ah, so you're storing the 'step' (index into basesystemsteps.conf) in the session ?!
This navigation then ensure information for backend that user configure it. We use it because system is already set to some default and some users just want confirm settings ( also it helps in complicated modules).
Agreed.
It is same as in first boot when some pages is shown and after next is shown next page.
I don't quite understand this.
What should be confusing is that next button doesn't save settings. User must save it before continue to next page.
Agreed. "Next" should always be identical to "Ok" (in 'edit' dialogs) and save changes. Klaus --- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
