Hi XWikiers,
I've been working on the ability to provide document templates on
document creation lately.
It's documented on dev.xwiki.org:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/DocumentTemplates
Implementation:
- New "create" xwiki action
- Templates: create.vm, createinline.vm (for inline and ajax uses)
- Modification in the xwiki-core-rendering-xwiki core module so that
it gets the correct action (create) for broken links
- New XClass: XWiki.TemplateProviderClass (with associated sheet and
template), this class allow to build the list of template entries to
display in the create document form.
- New administration section: Templates. Allows to list existing
template providers and to create new ones.
I'm almost ready to commit (I only need one more day to write
functional tests) and I'd really like to do it after the 2.4M1
release. WDYT ?

I like the idea a lot. Some stuff could benefit from some polish so I think
it would be great to commit what's available as it is now so that we can
play with it and suggest improvements.

New subject: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Allow to provide document templates on document creation
Hi,
I have two questions :
* Why not just XWiki.TemplateClass ?
* Why habing a metadata that indicate which template to use ? Shouldn't
the document that hosts a Template(Privder)Class be itself the said
template, and that's it ? (= remove the "template to use" field)

The problem would be to remove the template object after the copy, so
that not all instances become templates as well. This custom cleanup
would require more changes to the core.

Template is not just about the content, it's supposed to also copy the
metadata, objects etc... IMO the template should remain clean and
copyed without having to filter anything.

Yes there was those possibilities:
- Adding a XWiki.TemplateClass to the document to offer has a template
and remove it during the copy operation. I didn't chose it because It
would have added one more bound between documents and the core.
- Add a new "isTemplate" meta to XWikiDocument but it has the same
drawback as 1) and it was missing extensibility (restrict the list of
space is the first use case but I'm sure we'll find more).

Some quick remarks:
- Shouldn't the template list be in a select box, to be able to display
many possible templates? Or we assume that a normal wiki should have at
most 10 templates, and the user can change the display if he needs to?
Or, should we automatically switch from radio list to drop down select
when the number of templates goes beyond an acceptable number?
- Should the list of accepted spaces be a livetable instead?
- Does the modal dialog really need the highlight background? I'd rather
have it simple, without the extra background.

Have you taken into account these use cases:
- The template requires parameters to be entered by the user
- The template provider requires to run some script after the copy is done.
