Hi,
When i finish this work i want to make an extension "*Installable with the
Extension Manager*".
Main modifications i have made :
- Changes on *historyinline.vm* to add a button Approve in order to
approve a revision and make it public.
- Modification on *contentview.vm* to get the revision value passed in
parameter from historyinline.vm and set the approved revision in the object
attached to the document.
- I added a *groovy
listener*<http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Create+an…
add an object to new pages
- Adding a new
*class*<http://www.rendering.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/viewrev/FAQ/How+to+implement+%22Approved+Revisions%22>to
contains the value of the approved revision
It's not finished yet, i have to make a clean and tested version of this
extension and make some documentations, but i want to know if i'm on the
right way to build an extension.
An extension can override files like historyinline.vm ?
Not really. The problem is that in many cases XWiki itself does not
have the right to touch theses files so we did not really bothered
providing a system to do it.
if yes it won't work for futur version if XWIKI,
right ?
If it was possible yes there would also be the upgrade issue (without
talking about the complexity of writing an extension that does the
right modification on any version of this file).
otherwise what's the best way to
do so ?
If you really need the behavior or this file to change one way that
work with EM is to provide a wiki skin as part of your extension (a
page with a XWiki.XWikiSkins object which override historyinline.vm
and contentview.vm templates). But you have the same upgrade issue
since you completely override those files with your own content.
The best here would be to propose UI extensions point where you need
to insert your customizations but it would only end up in next
releases of XWiki.
I can't find documentation about creating an installable Extension Manager.
A valid extension has:
* type JAR or XAR
* an id (object editor)
* an existing file associated to each version object (object editor)
The easiest generally is to publish it in a Maven repository like the
contrib one (see http://contrib.xwiki.org) and just import it from
http://extensions.xwiki.org.
What about licenses? i asked my boss and he told me that we can make this
public for free but i should mention the name of our company, and make
copyright (the name of our company) in new source files, is it possible ?
http://extensions.xwiki.org does not support custom licenses yet. It
should not be hard to add (since Extension Manager itself support it),
just need someone to do it...
Thanks in advance :)
