Hi all,
I did a little search on the importing/processing excel files and I am
confused a little bit:
First of all, I found Excel plugin:
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Excel+Plugin
but it's status is obsolete - The Plugin technology has been replaced by
Components - so is that
functionality available out of the box in the latest versions of XWiki ?
hmm ok we need to change the wording. Is the following better:
The Plugin technology has been replaced by Components. However Plugins are
still supported. We recommend extension writers to consider writing new
extensions using Component and potentially rewrite existing Plugins as
Components.{{/tooltip}}{{/error}})
?
Moreover, in the comments we can read:
$xwiki.ExcelPlugin should be updated to $xwiki.calc as this is the name of
the plugin on a newer XE 2.1.1
There is also another extension: Excel Import Scaffolding and it clearly
points to the Excel plugin page.
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Excel+Import+Scaffolding#HPrerequisites26InstallationInstructions
Could someone explain what is the proper way of working with excel files
currently, I just don't want to tie
my code to the obsolete components.
No idea. Never used them. I'll let others with experience on this give you more
information.
Thanks

Re: [xwiki-users] Excel plugin or $xwiki.calc ?
Hi Vincent,
after some hectic day of research and implementation I came to the point I have
my things working as expected.
My experiences are good - I could found almost everything on the net but that
information is very cluttered
and that was the main difficulty for me to overcome.
Now I'm polishing my project but will create an example tutorial for the others
as well.
Thanks,
Piotr

Re: [xwiki-users] Excel plugin or $xwiki.calc ?
Piotr, looking forward to your tutorial! I understood 'Excel Import
Scaffolding' is a more user-friendly way for end-users to import their
Excel sheets (and, I hope, ODS as well).

Sounds a lot better imho!
Perhaps even: This extension is written as a Plugin, which is a
deprecated technology. While Plugins are still supported, XWiki
recommends developers to (re)write extensions as a Component. [[About

Done. I couldn't add the link since it's a tooltip and thus not clickable ;)
