Hi Devs,
The office importer module has reached a point where it can be integrated into XWiki's UI:
Currently there are two UI's provided by office importer:
1. The Wysiwyg plugin which should be integrated to Wysiwyg UI (obviously) : http://91.121.237.216/xwiki/bin/view/Main/
2. The office importer application : http://91.121.237.216/xwiki/bin/view/Import/
We need to decide how we will allow users to discover the office importer application from the main UI. Following are some options:
a) Add the "import" action to one of our existing menus
Problem: I don't see any existing menus where "import" will fit in.
b) Add a new menu named "Import" into the main menu bar. like { | Edit | show | print | import | actions | watch }
Problem: existing menus and their menu items always refer to actions performed on the current document (wiki page) while importing is about importing an office document to a new wiki page.
Exactly.
Possible solution : We can change the office importer slightly so that it overwrites the current wiki page with the imported document.
Any other options ?
c) Reorganize the menu into two areas: - current page actions (with what's currently in the left part of the menu) - wiki actions: Create, Import, Administration A draft UI proposal can be seen at http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Sandbox/sample/newUI.png -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
