Hi Devs,
Silvia and I have been working on updating & improving the FAQ tutorial
located at:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial
Apart from the conversion to 2.0, the most notable change I brought is to
provide some code to be used on the homepage of the FAQ space. This code
removes the need for the user to go to the FAQ.FAQClass page to create
new
FAQs documents.
I don't understand. I think we used to have a "click here to see the
code needed to create new items of this class" in the class editor, but
I can't find it anymore in XWiki 2.0. It sounds like a regression to me.
In my opinion, the new entry code we propose on the
FAQ tutorial should
be voted here before being changed, as we have to agree on what we
consider best practice. (For example, there is a major difference in the
former code and this new one on the document name-cleaning strategy).
I think the new code removes the need for JavasScript in the form validation
button. Thus the JavaScript cleaning that took place during that operation
is no longer there. In the tutorial I added an ad-hoc way of cleaning the
name that addressed only the 2 issues I had while testing my code. It's
definitely not optimal, which is why I asked feedback from the community.
Sergiu might know more about this change since he also wrote the blog
article creation page to use such a way of coding (call the same page and
pass it parameters).

It's more in line with our current best
practices for
application (very little applications create new items directly from the
class page).
However in doing so I'm not sure I used the most streamlined code. I'd be
glad if some users could try following the tutorial to see whether it
meets
their need and if a dev could give it a look in
order to improve it
further.
Thanks,
Guillaume
