[xwiki-users] Categorization of pages; tags?
I've been searching for docs and postings re categorization of xwiki pages. I didn't see anything built in so far but I may have missed it. I see there is a tags extension http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Tag+Application I'd expect categorization to be a major interest for xwiki users. Is this tag extension the main resource? Did I miss something built in? The page Content Organization <http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/ContentOrganization/> has nested pages and subwikis as the primary artifacts of organization. I will be creating a event tracker and it's going to be important to provide metadata for the posts. I'm very new to xwiki, but as I wrote this I realized that there are other built in features of xwiki which will help solve my needs. For example, if I can define a form or template (not sure about the terms) which contains a field Event Date, I hope that can become a hard data point which can be queried etc. Pretty sure this is so; and that solves some of the issues without a "category" or "tag" feature. Despite the fact that I'm positing a question which stretches far beyond my current near zero skillset with xwiki, I'd still appreciate any pointers or references. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Categorization-of-pages-tags-tp7602216.htm...

Hello novnovice, I do not fully understand your need, but if you want to categorize wiki pages there is mutiple ways to do that: 1) You can use nested spaces, each top level page can be considered as a category and child pages as sub categories ... etc. 2) You can attach objects of a specfic class to pages in order to group them in a given category. You can see an example of this in the XWiki Blog application that is installed by defaut in XWIki. A page is considered as a Blog page if the page have an object of class *'Blog.BlogPostClass' *attached to it*.* Find more details about the XWiki data model here: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/DataModel Mohamed.

Thanks Mohamed. That info is useful but probably a bit ahead of my xwiki skill set at the moment. As I get more exposure what you wrote will become more clear to me. I think with the nested pages and various ways to use tags I have to experiment with. I may re-engage this question after I've had more exposure to xwiki's core features. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Categorization-of-pages-tags-tp7602216p760...
