[xwiki-users] Macros in XWiki.org dev guide
by Paul Grodt 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

The dev guides do a fine job explaining the use of groovy and velocity code snippets. They also explain how to develop applications and plugins by creating classes. However they don't do much to explain the creation of macros; that or I'm failing to find this. I greatly prefer using macros over copy/paste coding snippets into each article. I managed to find this lovely article about creating Radeox macros in xwiki: http://hritcu.wordpress.com/2007/03/13/xwiki-plugins-tips-and-tricks/ but I'm struggling to find info on creating/adding what I believe are referred to as Velocity Macros (#macroName(var1, var2...)). I assume help has been requested on this repeatedly, but I seem to again be having poor luck in my keyword searches. Looking at trends in macro submissions, Velocity macros seem to be preferable in most cases, are they? Does each have strengths and weaknesses? I'd love to extend the online documentation, but I'm still learning. So without experience or guidance, much of what I'd write would be little more than educated guesses. Thanks, Paul D.

[xwiki-users] velocity tools access
by rssh 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Good day, community, Are general velocity tools objects (particullary I'm interestin in MathTool) accessible from xwiki templates ? If yes - where names are described ? [standard names, such as 'math' for math does not work]. P.S. (Curiosly, I can't find initialization of velocity context in code, but from other side velocity-tools jar is bundled with distribution. ) -- Ruslan Shevchenko GradSoft. http://www.gradsoft.ua

Re: [xwiki-users] [ANN] XWiki Enterprise 1.3 Milestone 1 Released

Hi, it's Martin. I don't know why in this strange country is first name written as second in full name, but i think it is some dark ages communistic and bureaucratic superstition or something like that. We even walk on hands, and write with legs! Don't ask how we eat. Well my former question targets how safe is to use 1.3 milestones for only internal but quite "should be working" deployment. I would like to avoid repairing corrupted referential integrity or thing like that, or making clean db reinstall, but I'd like to use and test 1.3 builds. nitraM -----Original Message----- From: users-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:users-bounces@xwiki.org]On Behalf Of Vincent Massol Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2008 2:29 PM To: XWiki Users Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] [ANN] XWiki Enterprise 1.3 Milestone 1 Released Hi Martin (or is it Vanek?), On Jan 31, 2008, at 2:24 PM, Vanek Martin wrote: Hello Will 1.3 strem have same database schema as 1.2?
