Is there an easy way to temporarily disable realtime editing?

Hi,

(Huh. Now I want to learn what all those plugins and toolbar features are.)

Yes,… so do I.

This is related to this new extension : “Realtime WYSIWYG Editor”

The video to show what it does is nice.
Of course, if you are the only one that write on the wiki… this is not usefull.

And this forum post :
Bundle the realtime WYSIWYG editor in XWiki Standard, disabled by default

There, it is said that it is disabled by default :
Release Notes for XWiki 16.2.0-rc-1


Interesting :

I was previously getting the " Connecting to the collaborative session. Please wait…" warning, but I fixed that by adding xwiki.url.protocol=https to xwiki.cfg as a quick fix.

It seems that the communication between the two (or several) editors needs some SSL and https protocol.
This seems logical, as the extension uses :

The editor is using the Netflux API for real-time communication between the users participating in the editing session, and the ChainPad algorithm to ensure convergence between the changes made by each user.

Thanks for the info.
