Re: [xwiki-devs] Fwd: Miscellaneous Questions

Hello Devs, I am stuck again. I am trying to pass a value from a velocity template to an html form field on an XWiki page. How can I do this? Basically, I have a form in xwiki that has 2 buttons. One is of type button and a click on it displays the number of objects of a particular type in the input field beside it. The second is a "Submit" button becuase I need to POST the value of a selected object from this form to the template. the template calculates some value and this value need to be filled in the input (number) filed on the form. How do I return the calculated value from the velocity template back to the xwiki page. I tried $response.sendRedirect("url of that page", "name of html field = ${value calculated in the template}") but this does not work.

I have questions regarding a few miscellaneous topics: 1) Watch List - Is there anything we need to add/modify in order for the Watch list notifications to work? -> I have the email ids in the user profile -> have 2 pages being watched -> the xwiki.cfg has the watchlistplugin and the mailsender plugin included -> I came across a watch.vm and watchlistrss.vm in the templates folder..but nothing for mail... -> also, in the menuview.vm, just where the Watch menu begins, there is a comment: We're disabling the Watchlist menu for now since the Watchlist doesn't work yet in multiwiki ## mode. Remove when http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XPWATCHLIST-4 is fixed. What is this for?

Please advice on how to get it to work. 2) We have noticed that every time a person logout of Xwiki and logs back in, Xwiki redirects the ser to the page where he hit the logout! This becomes an issue when a different user logs in on the same PC and he would expect to be redirected to the home page, but instead he is taken to some othe rpage.

-> Do I need to change anything here. What does $request.xredirect return? Please indicate which lines need to be altered/commented, so that users are always directed to home page when they log in.
