 Thanks for the link.

 I meant was that there is a panel named Shortcuts which has both

 and Attachments section that can be placed either on left or right.  
 If we
 had a bottom layout then we could have placed it there too.

But placing panels in a bottom layout doesn't mean much IMO. Panels  
are not meant to have a reduced vertical size. I think what you wanted  
is not Panels in the current sense but extension points in the skin to  
be able to add/modify content anywhere.

This is the UI extension design we've been discussing for some time on  
the dev mailing list. It's planned for the future but no hard date has  
been set.

BTW you could still achieve this right today using some javascript.  
Exactly like what is done by Greasemonkey 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greasemonkey 
). Of course it's even easier to just modify the skin... ;)

Thanks

 Anyway we can still achieve all this with current infrastructure too.

 I don't understand what you mean here.


 So one can always add it to left or right pane, thus it does not
 make much
 sense to have it (by default) below every page.

 Lastly I see that in panels application we can configure the left
 and right
 panes. There should also be an option to configure top and bottom so
 as to
 complete a border layout. Thus tomorrow we can move this comments  
 and
 attachments section in the bottom (for whatever spaces we need).

 Today this is done by the skin which provides a header and footer  
 that
 you can customize...

yes currently I am modifying the skin.

The extension you have talked about would also work once released.

Thanks

[xwiki-users] Comments and attachments in a xwiki page

2008-01-18 Thread Sachn Mittal

Hi,
I see that any page we create in xwiki has a comments and attachment section
attached below the contents.
Is there any way to configure it to not show up.
I can do this by modifying the velocity template, but wanted it as part of
configuration setting.
Another thing I notice is that Comments and attachments section is part of a
panel in the panel application.
So one can always add it to left or right pane, thus it does not make much
sense to have it (by default) below every page.

Lastly I see that in panels application we can configure the left and right
panes. There should also be an option to configure top and bottom so as to
complete a border layout. Thus tomorrow we can move this comments and
attachments section in the bottom (for whatever spaces we need).

Let me know you suggestions on these.

Thanks
Sachin
