[xwiki-users] Comments and attachments in a xwiki page
Hi, I see that any page we create in xwiki has a comments and attachment section attached below the contents. Is there any way to configure it to not show up. I can do this by modifying the velocity template, but wanted it as part of configuration setting. Another thing I notice is that Comments and attachments section is part of a panel in the panel application. So one can always add it to left or right pane, thus it does not make much sense to have it (by default) below every page. Lastly I see that in panels application we can configure the left and right panes. There should also be an option to configure top and bottom so as to complete a border layout. Thus tomorrow we can move this comments and attachments section in the bottom (for whatever spaces we need). Let me know you suggestions on these.

I don't understand what you mean here.

Today this is done by the skin which provides a header and footer that you can customize... -Vincent
Thanks for the link. I meant was that there is a panel named Shortcuts which has both Comments and Attachments section that can be placed either on left or right. If we had a bottom layout then we could have placed it there too. Anyway we can still achieve all this with current infrastructure too. Sachin vmassol wrote:

But placing panels in a bottom layout doesn't mean much IMO. Panels are not meant to have a reduced vertical size. I think what you wanted is not Panels in the current sense but extension points in the skin to be able to add/modify content anywhere. This is the UI extension design we've been discussing for some time on the dev mailing list. It's planned for the future but no hard date has been set. BTW you could still achieve this right today using some javascript. Exactly like what is done by Greasemonkey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greasemonkey ). Of course it's even easier to just modify the skin... ;) Thanks -Vincent

yes currently I am modifying the skin. The extension you have talked about would also work once released. Thanks Sachin vmassol wrote:
