---+!! %TOPIC%

This plugin renders a clickable red dot (<a style="color:red; font-weight:bold; padding-left:2px; padding-right:2px; line-height:100%; font-size:18px; text-decoration:none" href="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"edit"}%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?t=%SERVERTIME{"$year$mo$day$min$sec"}%">.</a>) to ease the edit access to
a page. The red dot will only be visible if the current wikiuser has
write access to the page the dot points to. You might also specify
a list of topics (see syntax), where the first topic that grants
write access will be the target when you click on the red dot. After finishing an edit
initiated by a red dot you will be redirected to the topic where the red dot was on, or any
other topic that you specify. Note, however, that you need to enable cookies in your browser.

%TOC%

---++ REDDOT
Syntax: =%<nop>REDDOT{"&lt;topic1>[,..., &lt;topicN>]" ... }%= 

Renders a _reddot_ for the given topic. If there are multiple topics
=topic1=, =topic2=, ...., =topicN=, then the first target topic that
grants write access will be chosen.

Arguments: 
   * =redirect="&lt;jump-back-topic>"=: 
     specifies the topic to jump back to after the edit process was completed;
     defaults to the originating topic where the red dot was on 
   * =text="..."=:
     display text for the edit link; defaults to a dot ( =.= ) 
   * =style="..."=: 
     css to be added to the reddot style
   * =class="..."=: 
     css class to be asigned to this reddot
   * =grant="..."=: 
     regular expression to be checked in addition to the implicite access check 
     for write access; reddot only if the =grant= pattern matches 
   * =icon="..."=:
     name of an icon to be used instead of the display text; icons are searched 
     along the _iconsearchpath_

---++ ICONSEARCHPATH
The _iconsearchpath_ is specified in the REDDOTPLUGIN_ICONSEARCHPATH preference variable. 
This is a list of topics that are searched
for an icon name, e.g. as given in the =icon= argument to the %REDDOT tag. If you also installed
Foswiki:Extensions/JQueryPlugin, then the icon search path given in JQUERYPLUGIN_ICONSEARCHPATH can
be reused instead.  If none are
defined the icon search path defaults to 
=FamFamFamSilkIcons, FamFamFamSilkCompanion1Icons, FamFamFamFlagIcons, FamFamFamMiniIcons, FamFamFamMintIcons=.

---++ WHITEBOARD
The RedDotPlugin respects the =WHITEBOARD= topic variable.
If you add =Set WHITEBOARD = off=
to a target topic text then the reddot link will disable the textarea (whiteboard) in edit mode and jump
right into the formfield editor.

---++ Examples
   * %TOPIC%%REDDOT%  will get a red dot only if you are in the 
     %USERSWEB%.AdminGroup.
   * %WIKIUSERNAME%%REDDOT{"%WIKIUSERNAME%"}% points to your homepage.

---++ Plugin Installation Instructions
You do not need to install anything in the browser to use this extension. The following instructions are for the administrator who installs the extension on the server.

Open configure, and open the "Extensions" section. Use "Find More Extensions" to get a list of available extensions. Select "Install".

If you have any problems, or if the extension isn't available in =configure=, then you can still install manually from the command-line. See http://foswiki.org/Support/ManuallyInstallingExtensions for more help.
