Re: [xwiki-users] Create application similar to attach file application

Than you very much Ricardo, I appreciate your inputs. Yes, you should be able to edit it. I tested the application on the xwiki of our company and it works. I am going to test it on a clean installation of xwiki to trobleshoot that issue. http://epecnetcore.environmentalchange.net:8080/xwiki/bin/view/ICT/HasAttac… The application is not working for me. I get "Failed to execute the [groovy] macro" error. Do you now the official procedure to propose a new feature on xwiki? I am going to work in the things you mentioned (I need to figure out how to use the LightBox component). And after that I am going to create an xwiki page for the macro. Hopefully it can be usefull for somebody else.
