Hi devs,
I’ve noticed a recurring trend from our users: a lot of them seem to wish to display Tree
views/navigation view of their wiki pages either in page content or in a panel.
When they go to e.x.o, there’s a lot of extensions listed (showing that other users had
this need previously) but none really work well:
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/WebHome#|t=extensions&…
We do have a tree view in AllDocs but it’s not perfect and it’s not easily reusable.
Thus I believe we need to find an official solution to this tree view issue.
The easiest solution could be to create a wiki macro based on our current tree view so
that it can be reused in wiki pages and more importantly in a panel. Having a “spaces”
parameter to restrict the list of spaces to display would be nice too.
I remember a colleague of mine tried to get the document tree working inside of a
panel, but that did not really work, because the tree unfolded itself outside of the
panel, always extending page names into the content area of the page.
Maybe it was just a simple CSS thing we both failed to find, but maybe it is worth keeping
this in mind. (Aside of that a macro that works nice inside the content area might not be
suitable as a panel, simply because it is too wide to fit in the panel column.
WDYT?
Any other idea?
Around here folks are currently using a small panel that lists the pages of the current
space in a nested list. This is done directly on the server via several HQL queries
however, and especially not very efficient for a space with a lot of pages.
Most probably there are better solutions, even those that can be cobbled together in a
day, but I wanted to mention it anyway.

Thanks
