RE: [xwiki-users] detect finished action

To clarify: You want to change the value of a property in an object on the page when saving the document and going directly back to view mode, but not when canceling. If the above is correct, then you want the property's new value to be saved along with the rest of the document when saving. Since the save action is the same from either mode (a form submission to the "save" action), you need only place the appropriate input field in the form to accomplish this. How to set the value of the field depends on how the value is derived. If the property's new value depends on the old one, the edit and inline templates must contain code that gets the value and puts it into the input field (See Document.display for the different ways to create the field). Of course, if the object doesn't exist before the editing, you must create it first; see one of the class sheets for how that's done. Finally, if the new value of the property can be known at render time (i.e. when the edit or inline mode is entered), then you can use Velocity script to modify the value before placing it in the field. If it can't be known until the button is pushed, you must use Javascript to create an "onclick" method for the form (or modify the existing one, or add to the "onclick" attribute of the save buttons) that sets the new value using the Javascript HTML DOM object representing the input field. Someone else, likely a developer, will have to tell you how to accomplish this in 1.0, because it uses a Javascript framework, and if the previous value of the field has to be gotten fresh from the server, you must use an AJAX method to get the value after pushing the button and before submitting the form. Fortunately, I don't even know enough about that to be dangerous. brain[sic]
