[xwiki-users] Using XWiki to create large and structured documentation
by Radek Terber 03 Jun '10

03 Jun '10

Hi all I test the XWiki, and I thing this is the best wiki software freely available this days. But I have such idea how to use XWiki to create documentation. My idea is to create similar document's structure, as Office programs allows: to have one "master" document, which collects (= includes) sub-documents, each starting with chapters with certain level (level 1 - for example). The sub-documents can (opptionally) contain next sub-documents at lowest levels. My requests for such structure are: - each documetnt MUST have it's parent - e.g. the parent is mandatory, the parent must exist ant must not be deleted until at least one child exists. The only exception with no parent is "root level document" - which could be the "space" itself (or a "section" - if anything like that exists in XWiki) - the sub-pages could be put to any place in master document - wiki should allow to combine text with sub-pages, - in each page, link to it's children should exist - in ideal case links to all children collected on single place (at top of page for example), and at place, where it is put in the document - wiki should allow to process entire such page's structure in case it creates document index or summary - index should contain headers from all included pages - it would be perfect if links between pages stay preserved in exported documents - the entire page's tree (with links to direct view/edit particular pages) should be available as quick-navigation component - the wiki could provide "complex look" (preview...) to entire such document, including content index - the wiki should allow to export entire "master" document to usuall formats (pdf, rtf...), including content index etc... - previous tree things could be created for any point of page's tree - it is not necessary to create it only for "root" page, but for every sub-page too It it possible to create this with XWiki? Thanks for responses.

[xwiki-users] How to list the subspace under the space?
by Nithya Vembu 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

Hi All, Currently i am working in xwiki and facing some issues which i am not able to solve. I want to create a tree structure for the space and subspace and the pages inside it. Eg : I am creating Space Name : HelloMajor, Parent : nothing (by default it takes WebHome) Page Name : HelloMajorPage1 : Parent : HelloMajor Page Name : HelloMajorPage2 : Parent : HelloMajorPage1 If i use document tree its displaying like HelloMajor |___ HelloMajorPage1 |____HelloMajorPage2 Another space creation : HelloMinor; Parent : HelloMajor.WebHome Page Name : HelloMinorPage Parent : HelloMinor Now i want to display the tree structure like this HelloMajor |___ HelloMajorPage1 | |____HelloMajorPage2 |___HelloMinorPage |____HelloMinorPage I want to display the subspace under the related space itself. I tried with child parent snippets but it didnt worked. As i explored i didnt get the solution to get the parent of the subspace. Normally in db its storing under XWD_Parent field in xwiki_doc table. I would like to give the subspace name as parameter so that i can get the parent name which i mean is "HelloMajor.WebHome". My requirement is to build a tree structure. I tried with space explorer,mk tree, document tree and spaceAllDocs. No one fitting my requirement. *Spacename * Subspacename * subspacepages * SpacePages In this manner i want to display. IS there any solution. Kindly help me. Thanks in advance.

[xwiki-users] Treeview in a panel
by Sebastian Kannengiesser 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

Hi guys, I found a code snippet on xwiki.org, that does a TreeNav feature, but actually, this is not what I want. I would like to have the Treeview, as on /XWiki/Treeview inside a panel. As a matter of fact, it seems the code for Treeview does only work, when there is nothing else on that page, so adding just a line of text in the beginning of the XWiki/Treeview page seems to make the "+"-signs to open the tree-structure unusable. Probably for the same reason, I did not manage yet, to get it inside a panel. Do you have some ideas, what I could do to get what I want? Thanx, Sebastian

[xwiki-users] Help using m2eclipse to create an Xwiki java Macro
by James Cuzella 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

I'm hoping to create a simple Xwiki macro to allow users an easy way to create local file:// links to internal network shares through the WYSIWYG macros feature. This is also an excuse for me to try to get m2eclipse to work for building Xwiki as well. However, so far the plugin doesn't seem to be working right. I'm generally following the guide here: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/RenderingMacroTutorial#HC… I first attempted at using Eclipse's m2eclipse plugin to create a new maven project, but had some troubles with this. I first added a maven archetypes catalog through the Window->Preferences->Maven->Archetypes menu. I added a remote catalog using the url "http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/xwiki-tools/trunk/xwiki-archety…". Then, by going through the new maven project wizard, I checked the "include snapshot archetypes" box and the xwiki-archetype-macro shows up. I then fill out the input boxes, for example something like: Group ID: com.lyraphase Artifact ID: localFileLinkMacro Version: 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT Package: com.lyraphase I click finish and it simply says "Failed to create project". The event details for the error in the log are: -------------------------------------------- eclipse.buildId=unknown java.version=1.6.0_20 java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc. BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=en_US Framework arguments: -product org.eclipse.epp.package.php.product Command-line arguments: -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.php.product Error Tue May 25 18:28:55 MDT 2010 Failed to create project. java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.DefaultArtifactRepositoryFactory.createArtifactRepository(DefaultArtifactRepositoryFactory.java:90) at org.maven.ide.eclipse.internal.project.ProjectConfigurationManager.resolveArchetype(ProjectConfigurationManager.java:540) at org.maven.ide.eclipse.internal.project.ProjectConfigurationManager.createArchetypeProject(ProjectConfigurationManager.java:463) at org.maven.ide.eclipse.wizards.MavenProjectWizard$5.runInWorkspace(MavenProjectWizard.java:279) at org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.InternalWorkspaceJob.run(InternalWorkspaceJob.java:38) at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:55) -------------------------------------------- I then gave up on that, and just made a new directory and ran the maven command line mentioned in the Macro Tutorial through Cygwin. I entered the Group ID, etc... The command seemed to work, however again m2eclipse chokes on missing maven dependencies after doing a "Import -> Existing Maven Project". The console log in Eclipse also shows *tons* of warnings about checksums failing and some missing pom files. For example: 5/25/10 6:02:18 PM MDT: [WARN] *** CHECKSUM FAILED - Checksum failed on download: local = 'f4993fe96db30ae57ca4d71e34ebe200b63981b6'; remote = 'eaf4f3d8c6ee17e73ca671a496a4b307f83aed63' - IGNORING 5/25/10 6:02:19 PM MDT: [WARN] *** CHECKSUM FAILED - Checksum failed on download: local = 'aaeb993ef6348a2e5102df06b408d8bb220d609e'; remote = '79231f9f429a3ba10c5d260b4e683fe7599498d0' - IGNORING Most of that stuff is uninteresting, but I snipped out some of the more interesting messages I found within the mess. -------------------------------------------- 5/25/10 5:46:08 PM MDT: Unable to update index for xwiki-externals|http://maven.xwiki.org/externals: Resource nexus-maven-repository-index.properties does not exist 5/25/10 5:52:57 PM MDT: Missing artifact org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-rendering-parser-wikimodel:jar:2.3-SNAPSHOT:compile 5/25/10 5:46:10 PM MDT: Unable to update index for xwiki-plugins-externals|http://maven.xwiki.org/externals: Resource nexus-maven-repository-index.properties does not exist 5/25/10 5:52:57 PM MDT: Missing artifact org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-rendering-parser-wikimodel:jar:2.3-SNAPSHOT:compile 5/25/10 6:02:19 PM MDT: Missing artifact org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-rendering-parser-wikimodel:jar:2.3-SNAPSHOT:compile 5/25/10 6:02:24 PM MDT: Maven Builder: FULL_BUILD 5/25/10 6:02:24 PM MDT: Build errors for localFileLinkMacro; org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal on project localFileLinkMacro: Missing: ---------- 1) org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-rendering-parser-wikimodel:jar:2.3-SNAPSHOT Try downloading the file manually from the project website.
