I'm seeing a new message sent to the list about ModalBox. To propose a

I think the way this information is communicated can be improved.. so,
we are free to make a proposal! :-)
Than you very much Ricardo,
I appreciate your inputs.
I'm sending you an account in a separate mail to test this application.
Must I been able to edit the description for
already attached files?
Yes, you should be able to edit it.
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.
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.
Check this and feel free to test it:
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.
I think it would help to understand how
attachments work and it will be
easy to propose to add the possibility of adding a description to each
attached file in the new structure.
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.

Just one more tip...
You must be aware of this discussion and some other initiated by Caleb...

I think it would help to understand how attachments work and it will be

Hope this helps!

Hi Ricardo,
To use the application you should put the following code on your XWiki
page:
{{FileStorage/}}
I tested on XWiki 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 versions until now and is working
fine.
The application let you add a description to an
attachment. It presents
the
user a textarea to write the description and a
file input component to
choose the file to attach. To attach the file with the description the
user
should click the "Attach" button. There
is some kind of validation when
the
user try to attach the file. It is not posible to
attach a file with an
empty description or a description that is more than 255 characters.
Below the component that let you attach files, there is a table that has
two
columns: File Name and Description of File. Next
to each row there are
two
icons a pencil and a red cross (XWiki icons). If
you click the pencil you
can edit the description for the corresponding attachment (A modal box
appears). If you click the red cross the attachment is deleted.
The application use the same logic as the "Attach files to this document"
components on the Attachments section at the bottom of the xwiki pages.
So
the attachment are also shown in the Attachments
section.
I had some problems uploading files bigger than 16M. So I follow the
suggestions on the following page
http://www.mail-archive.com/users@xwiki.org/msg04047.html.
You can find an image of the application at
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3688604/file-storage.PNG.
About the LightBox, I would preffer to use it instead of the ModalBox.
But
until now I couldn't find an example of how
to use it. Somebody knows if
there is some documentation regarding the LightBox component? Somebody
knows
which is the component that is used on the pop up
dialog that is shown
when
you want to add a new user. Is that the LightBox
component?
Let me know if you need something else.
Regards,
Abel
