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.
Why not add the Import menu in the "Action" menu.. It seems a right
fit
to me in the current UI.
It's true that Import not a "Page" level menu item, but since we don't
have a general menu at this point it is the best fit.
+1 I agree this is it the choice right now. +1 to do that quickly
before 1.8M1 and we can think of reorganizing the menus for 1.8M2 and
later.
I'd add a horizontal line separator between Delete, Rename, Copy and
the new "Import Office Document"
Thanks
