Extending the scaffolding functionality

[Padmashri Ragavendaran]

I have to develop a plugin. Requirements are given below:

1) It is basically a people search feature which needs to be used inside a scaffold page. ( edit mode)

2) After searching people and selecting the people, (in view mode), link to the selected user profile should be displayed.

For eg., If i am searching for 'Katharina' in the text box, auto suggestions should come. If i click on the results, selected name should remain in the text. Once i come out of edit page, in view page link to 'Katharina's profile should be visible.

I can extend the scaffolding classes and develop a seperate plugin.

But, the thing is that only one functionality works either this peoplesearch macro or normal scaffolding macros.

If we use both inside a scaffolding page, we get errors as below.

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.randombits.storage.ChainedStorage cannot be cast to org.randombits.storage.Storage

I saw the post in http://forums.atlassian.com/thread.jspa?messageID=257313476&#257313476.

But, I am not clear either on the solutions provided or to implement the suggested solutions.

Any help on this regard is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to achieve the same thing with auto suggestions. I'm able to use a drop down but I would prefer a text field.

{code}

{list-data:FieldName}

{user-options:group=ConfluenceGroup|match=all}

{text-sort:user:full name}

{user-options}

{list-data}

{code}
