RE: [xwiki-users] Need emollient for minor skin irritations

Brian, Not sure if I'm getting what you mean right, or if you're aware - as of Beta2 users have two types: Advanced or Basic. When you pick the user type as Basic, then you get no drop-down options from the Edit menu (which goes on to give access to objects, page rights, etc). If you upgraded from B1, you need to import the users objects and Administrator again for B2 (and obviously reset the password, etc once you've done this). This is so that you can setup the user to advanced in the first place (kinda like a catch-22 there ;) ). You can then setup users as advanced to give them the expanded edit menu as you need. Bear in mind, that you can click on the Edit button itself and it will decide for itself if it must use inline or edit. Now, it being after 5pm and all, lets hope that makes sense.. And in line with what ye were looking for :). -----Original Message----- From: THOMAS, BRIAN M (ATTSI) [mailto:bt0008@att.com] Sent: 13 February 2007 17:04 To: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org Subject: [xwiki-users] Need emollient for minor skin irritations I really like the new skin, especially the comments/attachments/history display handling, and I don't want that to be missed. I have two difficulties, however, both related to the elimination of the More Actions menu: First, I can't find a direct link to the Edit Objects URL for the page. It works if I enter it manually (and let me gratefully note here that the new skin has made the editobject template *much* more friendly), but none of the menus seems to offer a path to it. Second, the More Actions menu had an item that mitigated an existing annoyance, which was that, if a page had objects (other than comments) displayed on it, the URL in the Edit link was changed to /inline/ from /edit/. To me it was annoying, but to many users, it was confusing, which is worse, of course. It got to the point where I always used the More Actions menu to select inline or edit myself, but now that option is unavailable. Of course, I can always enter the URL by hand, or use FoXWiki if I'm opening it from a link, so again it's not a show-stopper for me but a problem for the Great Unwashed (or, as they say in Ludovic-land, the sans culottes)... I know how I can provide these, so I don't need that advice, but it would, of course, be good to have them available in the default skin, so I would like somebody to: 1) point out where they are if I've just missed them; 2) discuss where you think they ought to be from the user's perspective (especially if, for example, you have already re-implemented them); and/or 3) suggest a JIRA item to provide them in the default skin. brain[sic]
