#7: Widgets should be able to optionally expose state on the URL ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: sakhmechet | Owner: sakhmechet Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: medium | Milestone: 0.1 Component: weblocks | Version: pre-0.1 Keywords: navigation state URL | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Currently the only widget that can expose state on the URL is Navigation. Widgets like Grid cannot expose state. This makes the user run into very annoying issues similar to the ones common to Expedia/Travelocity - someone sends a link to a hotel to a friend, but the friend sees a completely different page.
As an example, grid controls should be able to optionally expose which column they're sorted on. People should be able to navigate to a product page by product name/id on the URL.
