Additional data for EDUI pages

Now that we have sophisticated EDUI pages let's think about what additional info we can display on those

Current State

Datasources

  • Name
  • Source-Section
  • Pages
  • Release Date
  • Author

Events

  • Name
  • Target-Section
  • Pages
  • Release Date
  • Author

Utilities

  • Name

Idea for additional info

Datasources

  • If DS contains custom code
  • Fields being filtered
    • Possible emphasis when being filtered solely by ID (implies "entry details view")
  • Names of parameters being used
  • Dependencies
  • Drop the released date, it's kind of unnecessary
  • Keep the Author field, it's very handy for components from extensions

Events

  • If Event contains custom code
  • Filters being used
  • Drop released date
  • Keep Author

Utilities

  • Number of templates in file
  • Included by what files
  • Templates used in what files
  • Metadata-elements for downloaded utilities, display those

The last one is probably the most important one as Utilities are the just actively shared among users as Extensions, knowing the Author is very handy.

Most of these should be relatively easily doable using Xpath.
