Hi developers!
According discussion about this FoxWiki Edit attachments feature at
XWiki-Dev subforum. I want to write my opinion for developers.
Current situation:
- In IE this feature working good without any additional jobs (I tested
2.2.4).
- In FF - need to use FoxWiki extension (download manualy xpi-file, and
edit
max-version property).
- In Chrome - Edit attachments - doesn't work.
I have proposal about using this feature in FF. FoxWiki working, but I
don't
like that users MANUALY everytime should add file extention and application
path in FoxWiki. From other side, exists some other extentions for FF (for
example http://openwebfolder.mozdev.org/). As I understand, this extention
adds to FF functionality of windows WebFolder WebDAV client - same as IE.
But now, I cannot use (or try) this extention with XWiki, because XWiki
programming code obviously use ONLY FoxWiki at FF. As I understand, If we
will try to use openwebfolder extention - no any special code needs for
XWiki - programming code can be same as a IE part.
Other collaborative suits software also use openwebfolder extention for FF
(see for example
http://help.collab.net/index.jsp?topic=/teamforge530/action/connecttowebdavwithfirefox.html
).
Openwebfolder has the following description:
*openwebfolder* itself does *not* contain any platform-independant WebDAV
related code. It just adds hooks so that Microsoft's Webfolder WebDAV
client can be invoked in a similar way like in IE.
So this is a windows only solution. May be we should have some logic like:
if (IE) {
// Use native webdav support in IE.
} else if (FF Win32) {
// Use openwebfolder.
} else if (FF) {
// Use FoXWiki.
}
But first someone has to evaluate if openwebfolder + FF on Win32 is better
than FoXWiki + FF on the same. Anyway, I'm not sure if above logic can be
implemented or if it is the best approach, someone has to digg a little
deep.
Just my opinion :)

For this reason, alternative proposal: no use any special extention for
WebDav - use standart openwebfolder extention (this extention is better
because not need to manualy add file extentions and application paths).
According this - need to change XWiki programming code for WebDav using in
Firefox.
I am not a specialist with XWiki programming, for this reason - sorry, if I
write something stupid ... What do you think about my variant?
