Hi,
Now that we are moving to Nested Documents, there is the question of what
do we do with the existing space and page templates[1]? How do we (still)
display them?
In the new create UI we will be showing just the option to create a
Nested
Document, but for advanced users, we might also
show the option to
create a
terminal document (NS-style i.e. document in a
space).
Since a ND translates to a space WebHome in the NS approach (or previous
approach), we could reuse any existing space templates and display them
instead of page templates.
Existing page templates were built with the NS approach in mind and I am
concerned that, until the app that provides them does not migrate them to
space templates (i.e. ND-compatible), we risk breaking their
functionality
(?). This might now be valid for page templates
manually created by the
admins that might have no issues since they are content focused and not
processed by any application.
Until they are migrated, we could just show page templates only when
creating terminal documents, as an advanced user.
So the options I see are:
1) Show both space and page templates when creating ND and only page
templates when creating terminal pages, hoping most of them will work
most
of the time.
2) Show only space templates when creating ND and only page templates
when
creating terminal pages, but risk hiding a lot of
useful page templates
from regular users which would work most of the time.
My +1 goes to 1).
+1 for 1) but I think we can ignore / deprecate / remove the
XWiki.TemplateProviderClass_type property and consider all templates
as page templates. As Caty said, "space" template are actually page
templates for the space home page.
Thanks,
Marius
WDYT?
Thanks,
Eduard
