I would like to have:
1) xwiki:livetable:header
Similar to newrow, but refers to the header table. Can help adding
functionality when working with custom columns.
This one would have helped a lot when working on the watch list for Water
Wiki since I could not add a custom filter into the header.
2) refresh() method
Redisplay the live table and the correct pagination when adding/deleting
files.
3) display a nice info message when the live table is empty
Something general like "No items in your live table" and hide the pagination.

Hi Asiri,
Here is some feedback about the live table since I have been using it on
client projects:
+ things work well with the standard version
- I was a pain when I had to add a custom column with information from
the documents in the live table
- performance when filtering a lot of documents
Yes, that could be the occasion to extend the JS API.
What events do you have in mind ?

Hi All,
I'm working on designing LiveTable 2.0 macro, an xwiki/2.0 macro that
is
supposed to work similar to current LiveTable (say 1.0) Macro. By
looking
at
LiveTable 1.0 macro code I encountered few problems that confuses me a
lot.
* First, LiveTable macro is different from other macros (those I have
seen
/
written so far) in which the generated content is "live"... Normally
macros
replaces the macro block with some other generated content but here
LiveTable macro makes use of AJAX to fetch content dynamically. So the
question, is LiveTable a macro or is it something else? Stuffing
JavaScript/AJAX code inside a rendering 2.0 feels unfamiliar to me.
* Second, existing LiveTable macro can be viewed in several ways:
1. Way of presenting a list of documents containing an object of a
specific
class.
2. Way of presenting a list of documents matching a criterion.
3. Generic way of presenting information mactching a criterion.
I would like the main purpose of the live table to be the display of a
list of documents from the wiki.
It should be up to the user what documents the live table displays (with
objects - 1, a query result -2).
I'm having a hard time figuring out what
should be the exact purpose of
LiveTable 2.0 macro, should it be same as LiveTable 1.0 macro?
* Third, LiveTable macro uses several resources.
1. XWiki.LiveTableResults
2. XWiki.LiveTableResultsMacros
3. LiveTable JavaScript widget & CSS
I would like to for the javascript API to be extended, being able to
listen to more events(not just xwiki:livetable:newrow).
If we decide that LiveTable 2.0 macro should serve the
same purpose as
LiveTable 1.0 macro, should these resources be reused? (within the 2.0
rendering macro)
Please help me to clarify these issues, I'm a bit lost here.
Many thanks.
- Asiri
