More generally speaking, this is true for a lot of livetables. We would need a generic "Create" button to be available when we instantiate a livetable. This could be useful for the wiki index page, for the user directory, for all the AWM homepages...
I guess you like the files live table from the File Manager then :)

. Would be interesting to have such a toolbar (with support for custom buttons) before the live table don't you think?
IMO the toolbar's functionality is already covered by the 'Actions' column in the livetable. The only thing missing is the 'Create'
I'm not sure this is the same use case. I can see at least 3 reasons why:
IMO it's exactly the same use case, the only difference is that the Actions column was used as an intermediate solution because we didn't had bulk actions in livetable (the ability to make multiple entity selection (checkbox) - that's why we duplicate the entries on each row). Thanks, Caty
1/ The "create" button would generate a new entry, whereas the "actions" column is for actions that are related to individual entries that already exist 2/ The "actions" column can be removed by the livetable creator 3/ The toolbar would also be useful to handle bulk actions on pages such as "delete selected entries" (as in the file manager)
Best,
Guillaume
Thanks,
Caty
Yes and yes :-)
Guillaume
Basically the button would let the user create a new item of the same type than the items displayed in the livetable. Right now we do this in an ad-hoc fashion, so it would be great to have a generic solution. It's also related to the automatic page name generation module (that we don't have in the core yet, though there's an extensions doing it <
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Unique+Identification+N...
).

Personally, I like the fact that it is located near the Edit button, even if it does not concern the current page. Because it groups the most basic and useful actions that you need when you want to contribute: EDIT, ADD.
To me, it makes sense.
