Hello Devs,
I have been trying to figure if there is a possibility of adding
HTML forms
(UI to obtain input from users) to Xwiki as part of the application
we are
trying to build.
I know that XWiki pages can be edited to include HTML code in them.
But, I
guess my question is where should we be looking in the code to see
how the
data that goes into the form fields as user input, would be
processed by the
XWiki Core?
Has anyone done this before ?
Also, if we wanted to create standard UI in XWiki, would it be a
better
option to create a template (.vm) file for this purpose?
We also looked at creating Classes and Objects for this purpose but,
I am
not sure if thats the option we need to choose.
What would be the best way to accomplish this task?
There are some tutorials that explain this at
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/
More specifically I recommend this one:
http://www.theserverside.com/tt/articles/article.tss?l=XWiki
In term of creating UIs XWiki supports several options:
* HTML forms
* GWT
* Any technology you want using XMLRPC. For example the XEClipse
project uses Eclipse RCP for doing the UI and communicates with the
xwiki server using XMLRPC.
Hope it helps,
