Description
This application changes the default look and feel for the WatchList Application:
- The items in the watchlist are displayed using the livetable.
- The Add to Watchlist action is using the autosuggest widget.
- If All Pages is selected, the Add to Watchlist action will add a watch for the entire space.
- Add custom links for your page and toggle between Watch and Unwatch actions.
The WatchList Layout Application allows you to change the look and feel for your Watchlist Application, but also to add custom Watch/Unwatch links to any of your pages.
To add a custom Watch/Unwatch link to your page, just use the code snippet below:
#set($ok=$xwiki.jsx.use("XWiki.WatchListSheet"))
#set ($wdocs = $xwiki.watchlist.getWatchedElements())
<span id="wdoc-name" style="display:none">$doc.name</span>
<span id="wdoc-space" style="display:none">$doc.space</span>
#if(!$listtool.contains($wdocs, "$doc.wiki:$doc.fullName"))
<a id="watch-link-icon" class="wlink-icon" href="#" title='$msg.get("xe.watchlist.watch")'><img src="/xwiki/resources/icons/silk/page_white_add.gif" style="border:0px;" alt="" /></a><a href="#" id="watch-link" class="wlink" title='$msg.get("xe.watchlist.watch")'>$msg.get("xe.watchlist.watch")</a>
#else
<a class="watch-link-icon" class="" href="#" title='$msg.get("xe.watchlist.unwatch")' ><img src="/xwiki/resources/icons/silk/page_white_delete.gif" style="border:0px;" alt="" /></a><a href="#" id="watch-link" title='$msg.get("xe.watchlist.unwatch")' >$msg.get("xe.watchlist.unwatch")</a>
#end
