And you can get some interesting behavior defining velocity macros vs variables in JSX "parsed" XWiki.JavaScriptExtension instances and trying to use it in the main document, as well as difficulties getting javascript "parameters" into JSX code that might vary based on document data that hasn't been evaluated yet.... FYI, for an example of extensive use of JavaScriptExtensions with Xwiki see below. I had to arrive at my own solutions that worked alongside the MIT Simile project's Exhibit and Timeline widgetry. I will need to see whether "document.observe('xwiki:dom: loaded'..." solution suggested by Sergiu offers advantages worth potentially breaking working code over :-) MIT Simile Exhibit Integration: http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Exhibit/Presidents4 Source: http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/download/Exhibit/Presidents4/Presidents4Pkg… MIT Simile Timeline Integration: http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/SiteTimeline Source: http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/download/Main/SiteTimeline/SiteTimelinePkg.… npm@gnuveau ~/DESKTOP $ unzip -l Presidents4Pkg.xar Archive: Presidents4Pkg.xar Length Date Time Name -------- ---- ---- ---- 48041 06-07-09 09:37 Exhibit/Presidents4.xml 64824 06-07-09 09:37 Macros/jQuery.xml 25895 06-07-09 09:37 Macros/Exhibit.xml 511 06-07-09 09:37 package.xml -------- ------- 139271 4 files npm@gnuveau ~/DESKTOP $ unzip -l SiteTimelinePkg.xar Archive: SiteTimelinePkg.xar Length Date Time Name -------- ---- ---- ---- 13954 06-07-09 09:51 Main/SiteTimeline.xml 64824 06-07-09 09:51 Macros/jQuery.xml 22844 06-07-09 09:51 Macros/Timeline.xml 512 06-07-09 09:51 package.xml -------- ------- 102134 4 files FYI, what I ended up doing is putting the JSX/SSX code into Modules that I load as Macros. Since all the "work" is now going on in the header, you can more easily pass "parameters" or customize the "javascript module" before loading it... by putting the customizations in the document's JSX and loading that via $xwiki.jsx.use("$doc.fullName") prior to loading additional modules, e.g. $xwiki.jsx.use("$doc.fullName") ## define doc/app-specific params for other modules #includeMacros("Macros.jQuery") ## #jquery_xwiki_init() ##JSX and SSX calls hidden in here #includeMacros("Macros.Timeline")##see also timeline_create() at bottom #timeline_xwiki_init() ##JSX and SSX calls hidden in here [[.... setup DOM to be accessed by javascript ....]] #timeline_create("") ##Fire up "creation fns" after all JS loaded/DOM defd Niels http://nielsmayer.com
