Hi,
A little week-end fun which can turn out quite useful. I've coded a Google
Apps Integration module.
It allows to:
- search for a document in your Google Docs instance and upload it to an
XWiki page.
- to click on an "edit link" (like webdav) to open an attachment in Google
Docs, then edit it (in another tab), and then in one click retrieve it to
resave it in XWiki.
- the latest feature supports overwriting a document with the same name in
your Google Docs instance or to create a new separate file.
The extension is here and the code in GitHub:
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/GoogleAppsIntegration
It's only using a XAR + Groovy and does not need any templates modification
(the attachment zone is enhanced by a JSX).
Some stuff that could be added:
- automatically give more rights for others to edit
- send a Wiki content or a Wiki table to Google Docs and resave in the Wiki
page (I leave that to XWiki rendering specialists :))
- additional UI feature to possibly use a Lightbox to launch the editing
and the edit screen
