To make JSPWiki more accessible to seemingly "less technical"
users; how
easy is it to move the "Comment" tab from the "More..." tab to a
tab of
it's own?
Not very difficult. Here are the detailed steps to do it:
First, we'll create a custom template for you so that upgrades don't
screw you:
1) Create $wikihome/templates/mytemplate
2) Copy $wikihome/templates/default/PageActionsTop.jsp to $wikihome/
templates/mytemplate
3) Set "jspwiki.templateDir = mytemplate" in jspwiki.properties.
JSPWiki will now use mytemplate/PageActionsTop.jsp whenever it can,
and will default to whatever it can find in your default template for
the rest.
4) Add the following lines in PageActionsTop.jsp, between the <ul>
and </ul> tags.
<wiki:CheckRequestContext context='view|info|diff|upload'>
<wiki:Permission permission="comment">
<li>
<wiki:PageType type="page">
<a href="<wiki:Link context='comment' format='url' />"
class="action edit"
title="<fmt:message key='actions.comment.title'/>"
><fmt:message key='actions.comment'/></a>
</wiki:PageType>
</li>
</wiki:Permission>
</wiki:CheckRequestContext>
What this essentially means that "whenever user is viewing the page,
or looking at the page info, or checking the difference between pages
or is doing an upload (the CheckRequestContext); check whether the
user may comment on this page (the Permission); then check if this is
a WikiPage (as opposed to an attachment); then add a new tab with a
comment link.
The tabs are actually list items <li>.
