[xwiki-devs] Not able to make changes on localhost.
Hi, Two days before I downloaded the application-blog repository from github on my pc. In order to check whether the changes I make in the repository(on my pc) are visible while running the localhost on browser, I made some changes in the ui of the application blog. (I tried to change the color of the 'date' text on top of blog page, I tried to increased the font size of title, I tried to shift the position of blog-button-toolbox ). But I think these changes are not visible to me on localhost after building the whole repository again. The process that I follow is: - Going to the application-blog directory. - going to application-blog-ui - making changes in BlogStyle.xml and saving them. - going back to application-blog directory. - mvn clean install.(100% success) - refreshing the localhost on my web browser. No changes seen! :/ Could there be any reason for this? Or am I doing it in a wrong way? Thank You Sarthak Gupta

You're doing it the wrong way. The running XWiki instance (localhost) reads and writes the wiki pages from/to the database (HSQLDB, MySql, or whatever database you're using). The running XWiki instance doesn't know about the GitHub repositories you clone locally. If you want to modify the wiki pages then you should do it from the XWiki UI, from the browser. Then you can export the modified pages and copy them to the source repository. If you want to have the latest version of the wiki pages (e.g. Blog UI) in your running XWiki instance then you should import the XAR generated by building the sources. Then edit the wiki page in the running instance (localhost). Hope this helps, Marius
