Failed to execute the [velocity] macro. Cause: [The execution of the [velocity] script macro is not allowed in [xwiki:Documentation.UserGuide.Features.PageEditing]. Check the rights of its last author or the parameters if it's rendered from another script.]. Click on this message for details.

Form editing mode (aka inline mode)

 
Inline mode, or Form mode, is a special feature of XWiki, that allows administrators to define patterns of structured information (like a blog entry, or a standard tax form). Pages containing such structured information can be edited and re-edited as simple HTML Forms, which have (almost) the same structure as the displayed page. Thus, when clicking the edit button, it seems that the page content can be edited in-place, or inline.

You can only use this edit mode for pages having such structured content.

Technically this mode is used to edit pages that use the #includeForm() macro to display Forms objects attached to the page. It is beyond the scope of this simple guide to explain the programming technique supporting this feature. Please check the Developer's Guide to find out more about programming with Objects/Classes and Forms.
 

Objects editing mode

 
In XWiki it's possible to attach Objects to pages. Objects are simple sets of properties with values that add additional information about a page. For example a security right can be added to a page to control its rights, a blog object is attached to a page representing a blog entry, etc. Again it's beyond this simple guide to explain this programming technique. Please check the Developer's Guide to know more about programming with Objects/Classes.
 

Classes editing mode

 
We've seen that some pages can have Objects attached to them. Some pages can also be Object definitions, a.k.a Classes. The Classes editing mode calls the class editor on the current page, allowing to edit the Classes attached to the document. Again it's beyond this simple guide to explain this programming technique. Please check the Developer's Guide to know more about programming with Objects/Classes.
 

Page Access Rights editing mode

 
This mode allows you to control the access rights for the page you're viewing (you need to have the correct access rights to modify a page's rights of course!). See the Rights Management topic for more information.
 

Full Screen Mode

 
From version 1.1 onwards, a full-screen mode is available in XWiki. When editing a page either in Wiki or WYSIWYG mode, clicking on the green button at the top right of the edition box will send the editor in full-screen mode. You can then edit your page as usual and click on the green button to return to the usual interface when you are finished.
