Re: [xwiki-devs] How to Include a page without velocity code into another page - xwiki-devs@xwiki.org

19 Jan 2013

Hi Marius,

Thanks for your response, the get action works very well for rendering the
target link as a part of my current page if the target link is originally
for view action, now I need to edit this content, which is only a part of
the page, I only need to edit this part, I tried to use get action to get
the dom portion of the edit action content and render it for this area in
the page, but it does not work, with get, I can only get the dom for view
html content, not edit html content, for example, for this url:
http://mydomain/xwiki/bin/edit/blog/Bering+Land+Bridge
if I use http://mydomain/xwiki/bin/get/blog/Bering+Land+Bridge, I will get
the content for view action of this:
http://mydomain/xwiki/bin/view/blog/Bering+Land+Bridge, not the content for
the edit action, I like to display the edit inline form for this area so
users can edit this part and keep the other parts of the page unchanged.

Any suggestions?

Thanks very much for your thoughtful help.

David

  Hi Marius,

 This works, but my problem is that I have a xwiki page, I have a link on
 this page, when I click on this link, a javascript function is called,  with
  the call, I want to include a new xwiki page at
the bottom of the current
 page without reloading the current old content (like appending a new  page to
  the current page without change of the old
content), the new appended
 content could be in edit or view mode.
 My question is the approach you have here is to use display macro, how to
 trigger this macro inside javascript code? also how to avoid reloading  the
  old content when appending new content? since in
the old page I have some
 search results listed, I do not want to lose it and make users have to
 search again. 
 You cannot (directly) use the display macro in JavaScript code because
 they belong to two different worlds. The display macro is executed on
 the server side long before the JavaScript is executed on the client
 side, in the browser. What you have to do is to catch the click event
 on the link, make an AJAX (
 http://prototypejs.org/doc/latest/ajax/Ajax/index.html ) call to
 retrieve the target of that link (another wiki page I assume) and
 append it to the DOM document. In order to retrieve only the rendered
 content of the target page, without the page header, footer, panels,
 etc, you can use the 'get' action, e.g. /xwiki/bin/get/Sandbox/WebHome
 .

 Hope this helps,
 Marius

 Thanks for your help.
