[pmwiki-users] Recipe Redundency... problems?

[Jiri Hladůvka / OBUTEX]

Concerning  JITS and redundancy:
There were 3 reasons why I created JITS:

1) PITS is a bit different from standard recipes with no customisation 
possibilities
for a non-php programmer - it is fully php script.

2) I tried to handle JITS with the minimal dependency on non-core recipes ;
As well I wanted to enable visitors to add and comment issues without 
giving them
edit rights. (In PITS you have to edit the page when voting or adding 
comment).
When I started JITS several month ago I did not know how to
- maintain  passing parameters among pages
- get and handle posted parameters
- create a new page and insert PTV (handling PTV was not known in PmWiki 
in those days) using forms
- save/change PTV values using forms
using (in that time current) recipes - neither know now :-(

3) I wished to have several tracking systems in one site with filtering 
possibilities and pre-defined terms and
keywords (e.g. HolidaysPlan with staff names instead Project names or 
ToDo for each user etc.)

Just Fastdata -> ZAP recipe allowed me to do it.
All the JITS controlling sources are standard PmWiki pages with a few 
ZAP commands.
To do the customisation is easy - the site admin need not know ZAP commands
and now,  when PmWiki extremly expanded the form markups in 2.2.0 betas 
it will be
probably possible reduce some of them.

Jiri
