HI Thomas,
I'm exteremly new to XWiki and have been looking for a way to do a
particular element but I just need some slight clarification if its what
this tool will be for (or if I'm being dense and not realising how to do
it already with the documentation I've read).
We are looking to have several Wikis setup for each of our departments
internally at our company and we want them all to have a specific panel
of global links - this 'Global Panel' will solely have links into the
other assorted wikis and maybe a few other handy links for our own use.
What I want to know is: will this new tool allow us to make changes to
the first wiki we built's Global Panel and then push that change to all
the others?
Currently each wiki is seperate as such but all are linked to via our
main wiki and present in the wiki farm. I've been racking my brain over
this and if this tool will allow us to do this then that would be
awesome. Will this tool you are developing allow other resources to be
edited on one wiki and auto populate the same areas on other wikis too?
I'm highly curious as otherwise we may have to change our planned
infrastructure.
Thanks for the info thus far though and I will be watching this with
great interest :)
If what you're trying to do only involves having the exact same panel
replicated in all your subwikis, it can already be done as of right now :-)
To do this, here's what you need to do:
- Let's assume that your main panel is on www.yourdomain.org and is
called Panels.MainPanel
- Go to your first subwiki's admin page in edit object mode
subwiki1.yourdomain.org/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=object
- Find the panels field (either left or right panels depending on your
preference)
- In the field, put the panel name in the following way:
xwiki:Panels.MainPanel
- Save the page
- Repeat with all your subwikis
Now, your subwiki uses a panel stored on your main wiki. Each time you
change the panel, its changes will be reflected on all subwikis. Basically,
you can reference and include pages from other wikis anywhere in your
subwikis using the following syntax : wikiname:SpaceName.PageName
