Hi all,
I did a little search on the importing/processing excel files and I am confused a little
bit:
First of all, I found Excel plugin:
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Excel+Plugin
but it's status is obsolete - "The Plugin technology has been replaced by
Components" - so is that
functionality available out of the box in the latest versions of XWiki ?
hmm ok we need to change the wording. Is the following better:
"
The Plugin technology has been replaced by Components. However Plugins are still
supported. We recommend extension writers to consider writing new extensions using
Component and potentially rewrite existing Plugins as
Components.{{/tooltip}}{{/error}}")
"
?
Moreover, in the comments we can read:
$xwiki.ExcelPlugin should be updated to $xwiki.calc as this is the name of the plugin on
a newer XE > 2.1.1
There is also another extension: Excel Import Scaffolding and it clearly points to the
Excel plugin page.
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Excel+Import+Scaffoldi…
Could someone explain what is the proper way of working with excel files currently, I
just don't want to tie
my code to the obsolete components.
No idea. Never used them. I'll let others with experience on this give you more
information.
Thanks
