Hi Gerrit,
i can give you a partial anwer to your questions as I have also been
struggling to adapt look & feel of one of my sites.
I tried as much as possible not to change the code in the VM templates
as this requires access to the server and makes it harder to document
all the places and survive a version upgrade.
Basically I've created a page containing a velocity macro that contains
all the restrictions.
This page needs to be included in all pages where the restrictions shall
apply.
The restrictions are just css selectors to suppress visibility:
{{velocity}}
#if (!$hasEdit)
{{html clean="false"}}
<style>
#hierarchy {display:none;}
#document-title {display:none;}
#mainmenu .leftmenu {display: none;}
#contentmenu {display: none;}
</style>
{{/html}}
#set ($docextras= "[]")
#end
{{/velocity}}
No hierarchy, document-title, e.t.c. if you have no editing rights ,
e.g. you are not logged in.
However you need to include the page on all pages where the restricitons
shall apply:
{{include document="Main.Restrictions"/}}
You might have a look at the results at http://shept.org
enjoy

Hi,
I'm looking into 'how to modify parts of the userinterface' of XWiki for a
specific site/application
We would like to achieve this with minimal impact/effort and stick to the colibri-skin as
close as possible
the following interface elements are of interest to us;
The MENU-Bar's; both on the top of the screen as well as the one on top of a
document,
The Box that contains Comments, Attachments, History and Information
The top of the document that shows Document navigation hierarchy, the document name or
title the last modified and the summary of Comments, Attachments
With regard to menubar;
We would like to be able to add, show or hide elements depending on the Role and rights
of the user AND the nature of the document
Role; If user is a guest, author, moderator (typical roles you find in a Content
Management System
Rights; Has Edit Rights
Document nature; if document is only velocity (like livetables, scripted page etc..)
-> maybe this should be managed by rights?
The Box that...
Document nature; if a document is scripted we would like to hide the box, so only real
content pages should show that box
The top of a document
Document nature; If document nature is script; title, last modified by and summary of box
makes no sense
My question is what would be the best place(s) to do these things? What is a good source
of information to learn about these elements and best practises to learn to modify them
(which API functions do work on these elements)
The VM template "menuview" seems to contain the structure of the menubars; is
this the place to influence the behaviour
It also contains #xwikitopmenuentrystart, #submenuitem etc.. where are these things
defined (and/or documented)?
thx
Gerritjan
