Hi devs,
Right now our practice in XWiki Platform for the apps we develop is to
move to
storing all the pages of an app in a single space.
See
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/ApplicationDevelopmentBestPra…,
specifically:
“
Generally, put all your pages in a single space dedicated for the
application
you're developing (e.g. Faq, Scheduler, IRC, AppWithinMinutes,
etc). The name must be as short as possible while still being
understandable of course and without overusing abbreviations.
"
Now there are potentially some use cases that may warrant to have 2
spaces: one for
the content documents and one for the technical documents:
- ability to easily set permissions on all technical
pages so that only a
group of person can modify them but allow another group of
persons to edit
the content pages (e.g. for the Blog application)
- easier to remove all the content pages of an app but
still keep the app
working
So one idea would be systematically have 2 spaces for apps:
- one XXX space (e.g. Blog space) for holding content pages
- one XXXCode space (e.g. BlogCode space) for holding technical pages
In my app I even use a third one : XXXPrefs. I store app config in this one
( different than app data).
It allows me to easily reset app code and content, while keeping the
configuration (which consists of many pages in my case). It also allows to
easily set specific rights to persons who can alter this configuration
(even if they can't touch the code or content).
Of course all technical pages are hidden and thus the XXXCode space will
not appear
in the list of spaces or searches by default.
WDYT? Would you be ok to modify all our existing apps to go in that
direction?
Note: A future solution is to use nested spaces but even with nested
spaces the
need for 2 spaces would be the same. We would just need to make
the XXXCode space a subspace of the XXX space (assuming we can set
permissions on subspaces ;)).
Thanks
-Vincent
