Exactly.
in Mediawiki it's possible to insert one's name and the current
date quite easily with four tilde characters: ~~~~.
Is it possible to do this in a convenient way in Xwiki, as well?
And if so, how?
I think it should be possible by creating a macro. However, I
would appreciate if inserting the signature would be a simpler
tag than: {{sign/}}.
A macro has the disadvantage that it is evaluated every time the page is
rendered, and it will not "remember" when it has been inserted.
What you want here is something that is evaluated when the page is saved,
remembering the author / current date when saving. To me this looks more like a use case for an Event
Listener, e.g.:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingEventListenerTutor…
You will have to replace
docSource.setContent(docSource.content + "\n\nSome extra content...")
in the tutorial by something like:
docSource.setContent(docSource.content.replaceAll('~~~~',xcontext.user + '
' + docSource.date) )
Thanks. I'm sure this is how it could be done. However, in the
meantime, I think that using the annotation plugin/application
might be the more XWiki-like way to go -- although less familiar
to me it might actually be more familiar to most of the users of
our wiki.
Thanks for your help!
