| 6 | This is a Javascript widget bundled by default with the XWiki platform. | ||
| 7 | {{/info}} | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | The //Autosave widget// enables periodical automatic saving of a document. This widget is not mature enough yet, so by default it is enabled only in wiki mode, but it is possible to manually enable it in an application using its JS API. | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | Currently **WYSIWYG fields aren't supported** by the widget, but all the other form controls will be saved. | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | = Usage = | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | {{warning}} | ||
| 16 | This API is available since XWiki 4.4 Milestone 1 | ||
| 17 | {{/warning}} | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | To enable the autosave widget in an application, you can include the ##js/xwiki/editors/autosave.js## script in the sheet, along with a custom [[JSX>>DevGuide.SkinExtensionsTutorial]] that initializes the widget. | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | In the sheet: | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
| 24 | {{velocity}} | ||
| 25 | $xwiki.jsfx.use('js/xwiki/actionbuttons/actionButtons.js', true)## | ||
| 26 | $xwiki.jsfx.use('js/xwiki/editors/autosave.js')## | ||
| 27 | ## If you don't want to show the UI, then don't include the CSS file | ||
| 28 | $xwiki.ssfx.use('js/xwiki/editors/autosave.css')## | ||
| 29 | ## Use to the correct name of the sheet, or the document where the JSX is located, if not in the sheet | ||
| 30 | $xwiki.jsx.use('MyApplication.MyApplicationSheet')## | ||
| 31 | {{/velocity}} | ||
| 32 | {{/code}} | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | {{warning}} | ||
| 35 | The widget depends on the ##actionbuttons.js## script, so make sure you pull that script as well **before** pulling ##autosave.js##. Even though ##actionbuttons.js## is already pulled when generating the action buttons, the call is made after the sheet content has been executed. | ||
| 36 | {{/warning}} | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | In the JSX object: | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | {{code language="javascript"}} | ||
| 41 | document.observe('xwiki:dom:loaded', function() { | ||
| 42 | new XWiki.editors.AutoSave({ | ||
| 43 | form : 'inline', | ||
| 44 | enabled: true, | ||
| 45 | frequency: 1, | ||
| 46 | showConfigurationUI: false | ||
| 47 | }); | ||
| 48 | }); | ||
| 49 | {{/code}} | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | == Parameters == | ||
