7 Components: the Function Pages - Developers

Note: Even a TWikiGuest can modify this section of the menu sidebar,
although it makes little sense, since various people log in as a
TWikiGuest and thus can change the entries.
This concludes our examination of the menu sidebar. We can now
move on to the next component of the window.
11.2.2
The Information Bar
The information bar serves as a header: It tells you what page you
are currently visiting, which version you are looking at, when it was
last modified and by whom. In addition, you will find a couple of
TWiki tasks, such as Edit, Attach and Print, which are also located
in the toolbar and will be discussed in detail. The advantage of this
doubling up becomes evident in long texts, because you do not need
to scroll to the end of an article to access them. If you nevertheless
need to quickly get to the footer, you can always use the jump label
“topic end.”
11.2.3
The Toolbar
The function toolbar contains the most important tools for TWiki authors.
In addition to the core function Edit, which opens the edit
window (see below), you can add all types of files to the page using
Attach image or document. This is a very useful instrument with
which you can perform several functions.
For instance, it is possible to attach files of any format to a certain
TWiki page for opening and saving. Along with a complete revision
control, it facilitates cooperation between participants on a document,
since any needed data located outside of the wiki can easily be
made available to everyone. Access to the documents is also optimally
organized with an access control on the page level.
These functions represent prime prerequisites for file sharing:
Well documented and categorized, you can make available multimedia
files, drivers, patches, etc.
In addition, you only need to upload the file once; you can use it
on a particular page, in that web, or in the entire TWiki.
