[xwiki-users] Help with custom display
Hi, I'm pretty confused with the documentation around xWiki and struggle to find infos on the "custom display" field in the property editor. A simple example could clarify my questions: how do you (for example) use the "custom display" field to display the content of the Textarea Propety in bold, red?

I guess this feature is not documented yet. Please, have you get something about it? Documentation must be improve and I am sure your help will be welcome by the community!

Ok, I got it, you can use Velocity Scripting in the Custom Display Property to render the display in the way you want it... For example here is the code to a "custom display" so the value of the property is displayed in bold and red. $doc.getValue("DataName") Where DataName is the name of my property... actually it's really easy to do what you want if you understand the xwiki javadoc (http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/DevGuide/API/xwiki%2Dcore%2D1.3...) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Help-with-custom-display-tp16277592p16302208.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Indeed, you can put some velocity script in there. The core will also make available the following variables: - $name = the name of the displayed field - $prefix = a prefix for the form field - $object = the displayed object - $type = the intended display mode (view, edit, hidden, search...) - $value = the property value So, your example could be rewritten as: <b>$value</b> which works only in view mode, or: #if($type == "view") <b>$value</b> #else ## some markup to display in edit mode #end -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
Thanks! Don't you think is worth a FAQ entry for this issue? I will create one based on your example if you don't mind. Thanks! Best, Ricardo javacupix wrote:

Sure, feel free to use it, as I consider myself as a big noob in the xwiki universe I wasn't sure about giving it a FAQ entry [Ricardo Rodríguez] wrote:

Thanks to Sergui who pointed out the different states (edit, view,...) I made the following changes to my code so that you still be able to edit a property with a custom display so here it is for the String property type. I'm wondering if there is such a thing like $object.getEditor() but couldn't find it in the jdoc. #if(type == "view") <b>$value</b> #elseif($type == "edit") <input type='text' name='$prefix$name' value='$value' /> #end On Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 4:41 PM, javacupix <javacupix@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, Thanks to Sergui who pointed out the different states (edit, view,...) I
made the following changes to my code so that you still be able to edit a property with a custom display so here it is for the String property type. I'm wondering if there is such a thing like $object.getEditor() but couldn't find it in the jdoc.
There's 2 things available : - #if( $context.action == 'edit') (you could replace edit with delete, addobject, inline ...) - #if( $!request.editor == 'wiki') (you could replace wiki with wysiwyg, object, class ...) Is this what you were lookig for ? Guillaume
Yes, this is what I was looking for, but how do I bring up the editor? For example in the case of a Wysiwyg edit. On 3/26/08, Guillaume Lerouge <guillaume@xwiki.com> wrote:

You shouldn't... You should call $doc.display($name, "edit", $object)

@Sergui : I tried this #if($type == "view") <b>$value</b> #else $doc.display($name, $type, $object) #endif but it get a nasty "Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page.... Invocation of method 'display' threw exception java.lang.stackOverflowError"... I tried the other display methods but got the same error each time, any idea what's wrong? @Ricardo: sure I will, when my puzzle is solved :) On Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 9:27 PM, [Ricardo Rodriguez] Your EPEC Network ICT Team <webmaster@environmentalchange.net> wrote:

As Sergiu said you shouldn't have to write a custom displayer to get the wysiwyg editor when editing your prop, in the textarea props you have the option "editor" which can be set to "Wysiwyg". On Thu, Mar 27, 2008 at 11:20 AM, JavaCupiX <javacupix@gmail.com> wrote:

Yes Jean Vincent that is absolutly clear to me, but my problem is about using the "custom display" field of a property without messing up the editing possibility of that data I started with #if($type == "view") <b>$value</b> #elseif($type == "edit") ## some markup to display in edit mode #end and the question is: what should I put at the " ## some markup to display in edit mode" line, <input type='text' name='$prefix$name' value='$value' /> (seems a crappy solution), $doc.display($name, $type, $object) (brings me to the infinite loop problem)?
