I want to maintain the "expanded/collapsed"-status of my panels when surfing my xwiki. I've seen the post http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/users/2008-March/010746.html :

However, I can't see the code used for XWiki panels since I can't enter edit mode. I really want to see how to implement those cookies, so if I'm looking in the wrong place, where can I search it?

Hi João, Joao Henrique Silva Santos wrote: I want to maintain the "expanded/collapsed"-status of my panels when surfing my xwiki. I've seen the post http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/users/2008-March/010746.html : I think it would be ok to follow the original thread ;-) To maintain the status while surfing the wiki is the default behavior. Do you get a different thing? Does your browser accept cookies? However, I can't see the code used for XWiki panels since I can't enter edit mode. I really want to see how to implement those cookies, so if I'm looking in the wrong place, where can I search it? I read "your wiki", thus if you have installed it I don't understand why can you not enter edit mode? Even tough you have installed the default .xar, you can gain access by using Admin as username and admin as pasword. See this... http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation#HInstallin… The code controlling status cookies is in macro.vm template. Look for it in the /templates folder under /xwiki. You must want to find macros panelheader and largepaneheader.

Hi Ricardo. First, I would like to say thanks for the reply. The reason I didn't reply to the original thread is because I was not registered at the time, and so I did not have the post on my inbox to reply.

As for cookies, yes, my browser does accept them (I'm using firefox but there is also this behaviour for IE 6 and 7 browsers). When I say I can't enter edit mode I wasn't refering to "my wiki" :), but to Xwiki's wiki. I've already seen macro.* (I even edited so that my panels are collapsed by default), but can't find anything regarding...

Hi Joao, Joao Henrique Silva Santos wrote: I am not able to reproduce what you are describing. The macro works fine for me. I've modified it a bit. Perhaps it is clearer now. See this... #set($initialState= "collapsed") #set($alternativeState="expanded") #macro(panelheaderc $title) #set($cookieName = "${context.user}_${panel}") #set($expanded = $initialState) #set($expanded = $xwiki.getUserPreferenceFromCookie($cookieName)) ## Note: We pass the Panel name as an HTML class attribute so that it's possible to style ## the Panels selectively using CSS. #set ($specialClassAttribute = "") #if ($paneldoc && $paneldoc != "") #set ($specialClassAttribute = $util.convertToAlphaNumeric($paneldoc.name)) #end <div class="panel $expanded $specialClassAttribute"> <h5 class="xwikipaneltitle" onclick="if(eltHasClass(this.parentNode, '$initialState')) createCookie('$cookieName','$alternativeState', ''); else eraseCookie('$cookieName'); togglePanelVisibility(this.parentNode);">$title</h5> <div class="xwikipanelcontents"> #end Initial state can be easily moved to each panel content. Alternative state can be easily set with a if-else-end structure. I am falling while evaluating the value of $initialState, but this is only a matter of looking for the right syntax. If you are using a modified macros.vm including the customized macros, I am not able to figure out any problem other than a malfunction at your browser level. Have you tried with several browsers from the same box? Could you try this version I am proposing? It works fine here. But if you are using a #includemacros("macrosFile") statement, it could be a matter of where you use it. I don't know how to put it this macro's call to affect the whole site without modifying macro.vm. I don't know if this is possible or we must include it in all and any documents needing the macros included there. I will do some more research prior to posting a question about this. Any input will be welcome!!!! Thanks.

Hi, Ricardo I've tested your macro and it behaves just as before.. I guess I'll try to upgrade the wiki and see if it is one of the solved bugs. regards, Joao

Hi, Ricardo Thanks for your proposal to test my wiki. It's url is: http://baco.cfn.ist.utl.pt:8080/xwiki Currently, the panels on the left panel-column are using your macro, and the ones at the right are using mine (only "XWiki tutorial" and "Create" are expanded by default). Some of them do behave properly: "Networking", "Database", and "Quick links".

Your site's panels do behave correctly. As for migrating to the war distribution, is there a way to export the whole current wiki? I only found how to export single pages to XAR file.

Hi. I've upgraded the xwiki to 1.3 using the zip distribution, but since I could not find where I should make some changes on the albatross skin I copied the entire albatross folder. The problem with the panels is still there, but that could be due to a bug on the albatross skin (bug either already existent or made by me). I will look further into the new albatross skin structure, and try to adapt it to my changes. If I can use the new albatross skin that will probably help debugging (or solving) my problems.

Found the problem. The panels that have a space in the document name don't work. Cookie names cannot contain spaces, so when setting and checking the cookie the script should remove any spaces.

Can you try and fix the js? Thanks

Hi, Sergiu Dumitriu wrote: I didn't fix the js, but this works for me. It works with any (well, at least one, two or three) white spaces between words in the panel document name. I've only removed the spaces from the cookieName by using the replace() method. Thanks to Jonathan Revusky in the Velocity Users List! $initialState must be set in the panel code. It has two posible values/states: collapsed or expanded. Thus, the schema of a new panel would be... #set($initialState= "[collapsed|expanded]") #panelheaderc ("Panel Title") [panel content] #panelfooter ( ) May I use this syntaxis, [collapsed|expanded], to represent alternative content? And the macro will be... #macro(panelheaderc $title) #if("$initialState" == "collapsed") #set($alternativeState = "expanded") #else #set($alternativeState = "collapsed") #end #set($cookieName = "${context.user}_${panel}") #set($cookieName = $cookieName.replace(" ", "")) #set($expanded = $initialState) #set($expanded = $xwiki.getUserPreferenceFromCookie($cookieName)) ## Note: We pass the Panel name as an HTML class attribute so that it's possible to style ## the Panels selectively using CSS. #set ($specialClassAttribute = "") #if ($paneldoc && $paneldoc != "") #set ($specialClassAttribute = $util.convertToAlphaNumeric($paneldoc.name)) #end <div class="panel $expanded $specialClassAttribute"> <h5 class="xwikipaneltitle" onclick="if(eltHasClass(this.parentNode, '$initialState')) createCookie('$cookieName','$alternativeState', ''); else eraseCookie('$cookieName'); togglePanelVisibility(this.parentNode);">$title</h5> <div class="xwikipanelcontents"> #end I will move this to an ad hoc Jira issue. Thanks! Cheers, Ricardo
