Hi Marius
Thank you very much for this info. It is very helpful. Unfortunately I may take me a bit
of time to assimilate and understand it all :-) But I will certainly give it a try in the
next few weeks. I'll do my best to remember to post my results.
Kind regards,
Mahomed

Hi
I have a problem where users want to highlight text in the WYSIWIG editor and press a
button on the toolbar to automatically add the {{code}}, {{warning}} etc. start and end
tags to the text. I know how to add a macro button and to style it. But the problem with
the macro is that it pops up a form with a text area that you then need to fill in with
text you want to put inside the tags. The behaviour I am looking for is similar to
highlighting text and then pressing the Bold button on the toolbar.
I have done some digging/searching/googling and found the simpledittoolbar.vm and I’ve
customised this and added the copy to my skin. I have added the following code in the
relevant sections and it works perfectly when I click Edit>Wiki but it doesn’t show on
the toolbar when I click Edit>WYSIWIG. I am running XWiki 7.0
simpledittoolbar.vm affects only the wiki editor.
#set($discard = $syntax10Elements.add(['code', '{{code}}',
'{{/code}}', 'page_code']))
#set($discard = $syntax20Elements.add(['code', '{{code}}',
'{{/code}}', 'page_code']))
#set($discard = $confluence10Elements.add(['code', '{{code}}',
'{{/code}}', 'page_code']))
So any idea how I can make the button show on the
WYSIWIG toolbar? Alternatively how do I make the macro execute on the highlighted text?
It's not simple. You have two options:
(1) Put a button on the toolbar with something like
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/WYSIWYG+Editor+Module#…
then listen on click and use
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/WYSIWYG+Editor+Module#…
#getSelectionRange() to access the selected text and then
#getCommandManager() to
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/WYSIWYG+Editor+Module#…
#execute the 'macroInsert' command. The complex part is to understand
the format of the command parameter. You can check
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwi…
.
(2) Write a plugin for the WYSIWYG editor from Java, but for this
you'll have to recompile the editor and thus you'll end up with a
custom editor, which is harder to maintain over time and may cause
upgrade headaches.
Hope this helps,
Marius
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Mahomed
