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

Thanks! Abel Solórzano Astorga wrote: I've installed it in a 2.4 XE/XEM and once I see some oddities, I've move to a test environment running now a XE 2.6-SNAPSHOT.31892 installation. Please, see below. As far as I can see, it allows to add the description to documents attached by using this same application. I mean, if I call FileStorage/ from a document with already attached files, I can't use it to add a description to those files. This leads to a somehow inconsistent situation where the pencil theoretically allows edition of the description of newly attached files but do nothing for already attached ones that remains with an empty description or for newly attached files using the out-of-the-box attachments utility. Must I been able to edit the description for already attached files? Thanks. Another curious thing is that when I attach a document by using your application, it creates two versions of the attachment, let's call it 1.1 and 1.2. Each time I try to edit the description, two more releases are added: 1.3 an 1.4 in a second row and so on, so forth. I've not been able to get the description edited. The ModalBox opens curretly, it allows enter a new description, but the OK button add only two new attachment releases, but the description remains untouched. Well, this is a well know issue, but there are tones of smaller attachments, at least here, that could take profit of this application! :-) I've not been able yet to get access and minimally understand XWiki code. But, do you know this? http://www.lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/ I really find this application really useful. I really miss the possibility of adding descriptions to the attached files. It is currently possible to add a summary to a version of a document. Or tag it. But there is no way of adding a description to an attached file. As stated in a reply to a message in the developers list (http://markmail.org/thread/57f2kswlpg5oxvxx), it would be possible, for instance, extract meta information from an attached file, but, as a XWiki document could be tagged, or somehow added semantic, I miss something similar that could add at least a description to attached files. Of course there are a number of things that must be discussed, but your application is a first interesting approach (please, take into account that I'm not a dev, so my opinion is really weak) to solve, for me, a missing XWiki feature. Let's see if other could be interested in it! Ah! One more thing: attachment links in the "File Storage" table, points to Slimsoft wiki instead of the wiki where they are located. Check this and feel free to test it: http://epecnetcore.environmentalchange.net:8080/xwiki/bin/view/ICT/HasAttac… In the shake of security, I'll let it open only a couple of days.
