- It conflicts with AWM`s "Add new Entry" button
More generally speaking, this is true for a lot
of livetables. We would
need a generic "Create" button to be available when we instantiate a
livetable. This could be useful for the wiki index page, for the user
directory, for all the AWM homepages...
I guess you like the files live table from the File Manager then :)
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/File+Manager+Applicati…
. Would be interesting to have such a toolbar (with support for custom
buttons) before the live table don't you think?
Basically the
button would let the user create a new item of the same
type
than the items displayed in the livetable. Right
now we do this in an
ad-hoc fashion, so it would be great to have a generic solution. It's
also
related to the automatic page name generation
module (that we don't have
in
the core yet, though there's an extensions
doing it
<
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Unique+Identification+…
).
