[xwiki-users] attaching a file directly from the server (without using form upload as in attachmentinline.vm)
by Brandon Esbach 25 Apr '08

25 Apr '08

Is it possible to attach a file directly from the server to an xwiki document? For example, in my case I run a batch of PDF reports overnight (using the Quartz scheduler). I would prefer to be able to attach this generated file directly to an xwiki document for the user to access the details as needed. The only problem is I can't seem to find any way to do this. Is this possible to do?

[xwiki-users] Always editable form
by Tiago Rinck Caveden 25 Apr '08

25 Apr '08

Hello all, After following the FAQ tutorial and managing to do it as specified, I wanted to do a form that would be always editable, without the user having to click on the 'Edit -> Inline form' menu. I saw the method displayEdit and used it instead of the display one, but now I don't know how to submit this data in order to alter the document objects. What's the action I must pass to the getURL method? I tried "save" but it didn't work. (By the way, are all possible actions documented somewhere? I found this "save" one after browsing generated HTML code). Or instead of that, is there a way to set the "Edit inline form" as the default view for a document? (I would still be interested in the previous solution so I could render the form buttons myself, but this one would be fine too) Thank you, -- Tiago Rinck Caveden http://caveden.multiply.com

Hello all, I have a table for a list of abbreviations and I need to sort that table based on the first letter in each abbreviation. For example {table} Apple Banana Doner {table} When the user edits the table and add for example a new word with A. I want it ot be inserted in the right position. More or less I have some contents in a form of a list or a table and I want to sort them automatically after any edit or addition. Thanks in advance. Cheers Hosam

Hello all! I am new to XWiki and I am trying to create a new skin. Although I can successfully locate all of the major changes I need to make in the style sheets and vm files, I cannot change nor find where "Comments" or "Attachments" is located because I desire to change the font style and size of this on all of the pages. Does anyone have any idea where this is located?

Re: [xwiki-users] Bulletin Board Edit Message

Guillaume, This is a personal opinion, so take with a grain of salt. I think that by not giving a user an easy way to edit their post, it could actually lead to a greater chance of abuse. Your suggestion for how to correct spelling errors enables a user to edit anyone's post (not just their own). I know it would be very hard to take the object edition out, as it seems to be in the xwiki engine itself. My suggestion is to go ahead and implement an edit function, perhaps right next to the "quote this message" link, so that users are encouraged to edit their own posts in an easy way. I believe this would prevent users from going on a hunt to find out how to edit and discovering the power that they have in editing objects.
