Update element on save?
The current discussion "When a <fig> is inserted, it should contain a <title> element" prompts me to ask what I'm sure is a trivial question. I am using Oxygen to edit XML in text mode. I would like an XML element <dateUpdated> to be updated automatically on save. I am aware of the of the ${date(pattern)} editor variable, but don't know how to trigger an action on the save event or indeed what type of code can be run once the event is detected. The online example <https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/20.0/ug-editorEclipse/topics/api_faq_auto_modify_content_save.html> seemed to be in a DITA context and require the Plugins SDK, neither of which I'm familiar with. With thanks, David Levy
Hi David, You would need to implement an Oxygen plugin for this. Maybe you can take a look at this plugin: https://github.com/oxygenxml/ExecuteAuthorActionsOnSaveHook When content is saved in the Author visual editing mode, the plugin can invoke a previously defined Author action. So you do not need to modify the plugin's Java code, just the action ID which should get called on save.

Hi Radu, however, I bet David want's to use it in text mode... It's really a pitty that so many of your plugin API's are only available in Author Mode. There's so many power users who could need those API's also in text mode! Best, Tobias

Hi Tobias, Oxygen has API to modify the Text editing mode (not as evolved as the modification API we have for the Author mode). For example this sample plugin adds a DITA prolog in both the Text or the Author visual editing modes using the available APIs: https://github.com/oxygenxml/oxygen-dita-prolog-updater Also another drawback for working in the Text editing mode is that unfortunately we do not have this concept of actions definable at framework level.
