Hi devs,
I recently made a XWiki Explorer based on jstree (http://jstree.com/). Actually it was
made to use outside of xwiki. I made a XWiki Macro out of it, it's pretty basic, but
it has potential for extension. If you think it could be useful for the community, I would
like to contribute that (under http://github.com/xwiki-contrib?). Maybe there will come up
some ideas for improvement.
Thanks and regards,
Josef

Betreff: Re: [xwiki-devs] Users are in need of a reusable Tree view of pages,what can
we do?
I had a look of the multiple extensions that seem to do that.
And while some are close not do handle a tree view that can scale and works from one
specific parent node.
The XWiki tree view is AJAX but only works for a full space or wiki.
Initially it had the tree from one parent in the spec but I tried it and I think it
never
really worked. Generally I don't like the XWiki tree view because it's very
complex to
debug and work with. Everytime I tried to have a look I had a really hard time to
understand how it works.
The hierarchy macro is not AJAX and also takes the whole set (including the orphans).
Now in view mode it might not be that complicated to make the hierarchy macro AJAX
as there are already REST urls to read the childrens of a specific page. Another aspect
that is also needed is some sort of way to "remember" what has been opened OR
to
open the tree on the page that is currently active.
Another general issue is inserting a tree in a limited width panel, particularly when
long
titles are used. This causes CSS issues that are hard to handle. It might be needed to
allow the width of the panel to auto-expand when the tree needs it.
The hierarchy macro is interesting because it has a way to update your tree. It could
also be interesting to add a feature to add a page in the tree.

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=extens
ions&p=1&l=30&s=doc.creationDate&d=desc&name=tree
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.
WDYT?
Any other idea?
Thanks
-Vincent
