Yep, it goes along the lines of what we are doing with displaying Nested Documents in the UI (view mode + wysiwyg and maybe inline for edit mode), but doing Nested Spaces in the platform (java, actions other than view, wiki syntax edit mode, etc.). And it also has the added bonus of allowing us to preserve our sanity :) Thanks, Eduard On Thu, Jul 30, 2015 at 5:20 PM, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote:

Hi devs,
I had created JIRA issue http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12304 entitled "Make wanted wiki links create Nested Documents” but I’ve brainstormed with Edy and we don’t agree about it anymore :)
We’d like to propose that when the user edits a document using the wiki editor then he’s using the Nested Spaces paradigm (and thus uses “WebHome” to create links to Space homes) and when he edits using the WYSIWYG editor he uses the Nested Document paradigm (no Space concept, only create WebHome documents unless he’s an advanced user).
Let's take an example. Say I'm on page .../A/B/C/ (so that's "A.B.C.WebHome") and I want to create "D". What would happen with your proposal is this:
- In WYSIWYG mode, I'll create a link to a new page called "D" and it will automatically create a link to “A.B.C.D.WebHome"
correct
- In Wiki mode, several possibilities: - I create a link to [[D]] => it becomes a link to [[A.B.C.D]] (new terminal document)
Almost. I’ll create a page [[D]] in the current space.
- I create a link to [[A.B.C.D]] (new terminal document)
correct
- I create a link to [[A.B.C.D.WebHome]] (new nested space)
correct
Is my understanding correct?
yes. Please take into account the fact that there are plenty of macros that accept a reference as input (include macro, display macro, context macro, etc). When used in WYSIWYG we would use some special displayer to let the user user a tree to select the document but in wiki mode, the idea of the proposal is to let the user fill the exact reference (including WebHome).
Thanks -Vincent
Thanks,

The rationale for this is that a lot of macros accept a reference parameter and I don’t think we should change them to support hiding “WebHome” and do an automatic redirect. That would be too complex. In addition, if you use a script macro, then you’ll also see WebHome mentions.
Note that when editing a macro in WYSIWYG editor we’ll need to have a macro parameter displayer for Reference-type parameters to display a tree, so that the non-technical doesn’t have to enter “WebHome”.
WDYT?
Thanks -Vincent
