New subject: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Group wiki macro & it's parameters into a single wiki page (one wiki page, one wiki macro)

10 Jul 2009

Hi Devs,

This is because of several reasons,

1. Having one wiki macro per wiki page makes it clean to group a single
WikiMacroClass object and several WikiMacroParameterClass objects together
and we do not need to keep a reference from WikiMacroParameterClass objects
as to which macro in belongs to.

2. It makes the wiki macro registration / updating easy. I mean we only need
to track document save / update events involving WikiMacroClass objects. On
the other hand if we allow WikiMacros to have their parameters defined in
some other documents, things get a little complex.

3. This will make wiki macro presentation easy. We can define a sheet that
will present a single wiki macro (inside a single wiki page) in a unque
manner to the user. This sheet will not have to bother about other wiki
macros in the same document or worry about wiki macro parameters located
elsewhere.

WDYT?

Thanks.
