Re: [xwiki-users] searching/replacing within the xwiki edition window

2008-02-15 Thread Paul Libbrecht



But I think it is not an option for most of our users still  
reluctant to

use the XWiki environment. And most of them are Internet Explorer,
Firefox and/or Safari users! So Opera or OmniWeb are not an option  
so far.



As long as you rely on the default textarea there's nothing you can  
do there or?
I wonder if that would not be a topic for the webAPI working group at  
W3C... it is a fairly common request I think.

Thanks for the tip.


Cool.

OmniWeb has so much good feature that I do not find its performance  
so good anymore (it's just that of safari).
Among others the pictured-tabs are so fantastic that it really makes  
it easy to have dozens of windows open without loosing the  
overview... that makes it slow ;-)!


Two other very precious features for developers:
- OmniWeb has a so-called error-log where both the input and output  
headers can be presented... that is the only platform having that I  
have seen and it has helped me debug a large number of difficult  
cases. FireBug does it less good I feel.
- OmniWeb and Opera both can edit in place: just invoke view  
source... you get an editor... and that editor can let you preview.  
The advantage ? You are in a browser with the same origin and the  
same cookies... so you can experiment something client-side (e.g.  
changing a form's action from POST to GET) before actually changing  
the server. This also helped me often on badly designed web-siute.


I don't get the point of what you are saying about BBedit and  
TexMate. I

am using both, mainly TextMate in Mac OS X. Do you mean they could be
somehow used with XWiki or XEclipse? Thanks!


I can't find it anymore but I had seen James Strachan blogging about  
integrating Textmate for all textareas of a browser (might be it was  
Safari). That would bring, e.g., syntax coloring.

[xwiki-users] searching/replacing within the xwiki edition window

2008-02-14 Thread [Ricardo Rodriguez] Your EPEC Network ICT Team
Hi all,

Several users have asked me, and me myself find it quite useful, for 
this feature and I don't know if it is possible to find any utility 
doing this:

Is it possible to search/replace while editing a document with the wiki 
editor? Working in WYSIWYG mode, it is at least possible to use the 
built in search utility of each browser, but this doesn't work in wiki mode.

Thanks!

Ricardo

Ricardo,

that's browser dependent... Opera gives you this service (at least  
searching).

On Macs OmniWeb gives you it if you open the external text window.

For such intensive changes, using XEclipse application (or plugin)  
really helps. It lacks a goto-line but has a search-and-replace.


I agree, however, that XWiki documentation could allocate a space  
about the existing solutions for this very common issue. E.g. I know  
there are such with BBedit on macs and Texmate...
