[xwiki-users] Simple and Advanced user
Hi, We would like to create a Menu or Button within our skin that allows people to simply with between 'simple' and 'advanced'. Now our users have to navigate to profile-preferences, click on Edit and choose the drop down with two options. What would be the best way to do this?

I completely agree with the need, I’d love this too. What I had imagine was 2 things: - A menu entry in the user profile menu at the top right to switch without moving page - A key shortcut to perform the switch without moving page too I’ll create a jira issue (once jira.xwiki.org is back, it’s down at the moment). Any other idea? Thanks -Vincent > Gerritjan ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Done: http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-11162 Thank you, What is the workaround if I can not wait; a little velocity script to be called from a button? Thanks -Vincent > > Any other idea? Yes, the reason for above is to make the user-experience better for ’simple’ users… We would like to apply the principle ’Less is More’ by leaving out ’UI elements" that are not used by majority of users. So I would love a pane where I could select the UI elements to be accessible by ’Simple’, ’Advanced’ and a special list for ’Admin’ Like: the Attachment area at bottom of Page Last modified by… Export menu but also simplifying: More actions -> Print preview (So instead of a drop-down “More Actions” only the option without drop down triangle: “Print Preview" > > Thanks > -Vincent > > > Gerritjan > ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
