Hi, On Dec 12, 2011, at 9:16 AM, Hamster wrote: Yes you're completely right. Actually I code the WikiWord Rendering Transformation as an exercise just to prove that it worked and as a stop gap solution to offer this feature quickly. You're right that a better solution would be what you describe. However the problem still remains that you'll need to map the "table of links" to the document content being rendered. Imagine for example that for document X the table returns 2 links called A and B. When the rendering engin renders the content as HML (for ex), our code would need to extend/override the onWord() event and compare it to A and B to see if they match. So the performance gain will be the different between a contains() in a List (for checking if it matches A and B) vs the time to do a regex match with a compiled pattern. I have the feeling the regex match could actually be faster or very similar since if it's implemented correctly it'll check the first letter and return if they don't match and if it's not an uppercase letter, then check the second letter, etc. WDYT?

I have enabled WikiWords, but there's something strange going on (in my opinion). I have created a Space called "Engineering". In this space I create a Page called "GeneralMotors". (...xwiki/bin/view/Engineering/GeneralMotors) In another space, called "Sales", I created a page called "OurProducts" where I put the WikiWords "GeneralMotors". XWiki does not recognize the existing GeneralMotors page in the "Engineering Space", it want's to create a Wiki Page "GeneralMotors" in the "Sales Space"! I don't think that this should be happening, the WikiWord should refer to the existing page "GeneralMotors" in the "Engineering Space"! Have I done something wrong? Are WikiWords "restricted" to the Space where they are created? Do sub-pages influence WikiWords in any way? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/How-to-use-WikiWords-tp7070568p7111079.ht… Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

vmassol wrote Hi Vincent, That's a serious limitation. I can see my users creating the 'same' Wiki page in different spaces, each page holding different information. That will be a nightmare to administer! There's no flag in XWiki which forces "Uniquely Named Wiki Pages", so that a WikiPage must have a unique name throughout the entire XWiki (regardless in which space the wiki-page has been created)? Using the XWiki Syntax to point to the correct Wiki Page undermines the power of WikiWords. The user must know in which space the wiki-page has been created. The power of WikiWords is that the user should NOT know where the page is located, the WikiWords does all the redirecting for the user. I will open a jira issue, I bet there are more users which want to use WikiWords like this.

They totally separate documents into distinct "places". If a document wishes to reference a document from another space, then it must explicitly mention the other space. At least this is the way spaces behave in the original philosophy of XWiki. What you're trying to achieve looks more like a flat list of documents with tags separating them into different categories. One alternative that would work right away is to use only one space for holding documents, and use tags to separate them into pseudo-spaces. This means that you'll lose many other advantages of real spaces, like distinct access rights for each space, per-space statistics, a clear separation of documents... And you'll probably have to work a bit to get an equivalent space dashboard that works based on tags, not on the containing space of documents. Anyway, a setting that would allow to enforce unique cross-space names would be a useful feature, so feel free to make a feature request for that. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
