Re: [xwiki-users] When adding a new page, can a standard template be used?
Hi, One way to direct user to a certain page after login is to make that page require a login (guest view denied), a link to that page, say "Members, enter here," will cause the login page to show up, after login, they will be directed to that first member page. This method is not the best, but cost no effort. Wei-hsing -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "goldring, richard" <richard.goldring@uk.thalesgroup.com>
Hi all,
Anyone know the answers: * Does anyone know how to update the text on the login page with say an email link for people to request an account, etc? * Redirect the user to a certain initial page when they login? If anyone has any answer I can paste them to the FAQ section of the XWiki website.
Regards,
Richard

Ok, so I figured it out. The tutorial should be updated for the latest release. It doesn't describe the process to associate the object very well. Anyhow, thanks just the same.

Ok, I followed the tutorial for creating an FAQ. I setup the class, the template and the sheet as directed. I added properties to the template - but these do not show up when I create a new document, any ideas?

Thanks Guillaume, I will give the FAQ tutorial a try today and see how that goes. Thanks again for your help. XWiki is looking better all the time!

Hi,
to do this you should probably first spend some time on this tutorial:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial <http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial> to find out more about creating XWiki classes.
Then you will need to tweak the class page to add the objects you need
(such as "meeting leader", "date", "content", "summary" -> the categories defined on your meeting minutes form).
The next step will be to modify the ClassSheet to display your elements the way you want them to be seen by users (using CSS). Say, a table to display participants names, the meeting title in bold and so on... The last step will be to add an input button on a page in order to let
people create new pages of that class easily.
All this may sound a bit complex and you'll probably need to dig a bit
into XWiki.org... Though having done it myself I can assure you it will be
worth it :-)

Hi Guillaume,
Sorry I was not more detailed. I am referring to the predefined template - like a blog article. We will likely have areas of our blog for things such as meeting minutes, and we would like to use our standard format to post these. How do I go about creating those?

Hi,
* Redirect the user to a certain initial page when they login? Be careful with this sort of configuration. While you could do it, it's not really a good idea, for example if the link is emailed; or if your user creates a bookmark for a specific topic. I can't count the amount of times I send links or save a page reference for later use - if I had to find the page every time, I'd stop using the site.
PS: Please start new topics instead of replying to an existing one with new queries. It keeps the email thread together in tools like Nabble for later use. -----Original Message----- From: users-bounces@xwiki.org [mailto:users-bounces@xwiki.org] On Behalf Of wangwh@att.net Sent: 26 September 2007 16:09 To: XWiki Users Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] When adding a new page,can a standard template be used?
