[xwiki-dev] FAQ Application - Problem with RC2

[Guillaume Lerouge]

Hi,

You should check the FAQClassSheet page.

You will find that the code looks something like:

<dl>
#foreach($prop in $class.properties)
<dt> *${prop.prettyName}* </dt>
<dd>$doc.display($prop.getName()) </dd>
</dl>

That is, it takes the properties you choose to use and displays them as a
list of words with their definitions below using these tags:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/lists.html#h-10.3

If instead you want the results to be displayed as a table, you should
change the html on the FAQClassSheet to this:

<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10">
 #foreach($prop in $class.properties)
 <tr>
   <td> *${prop.prettyName}* </td>
   <td>$doc.display($prop.getName())</td>
 </tr>
 #end
</table>

Once this is changed you will get the results in a table.

The only thing that changed is the default code used when you create a new
ClassSheet. You can actually change that code to have it display whatever
you want :-).  For instance check the Applications page on XWiki.org, or
give a look to the ClassSheet pages (typically at
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/NameClassSheet/?viewer=code ,
where Name could be FAQ, Reference, Application, Calendar and so on...)

Hope this helps,

Guillaume
