[xwiki-devs] Default location for new pages in customized main space?
Hello, Is there a way to customize default location for new pages? (Added later - I figured it out, I'm leaving the previous steps of how and why) I set up a new XWiki (9.0) from scratch, created "Public" space, configured it so non-admins don't see anything else, switched it to default both in web.xml "homePage" param and Admin -> Descriptor -> Homepage "Public.WebHome", everything works as intended, but when I'm at host/bin/view/Public/ and I click "Plus icon (Create)" it offers to create a new page at top level "home /", while I want it to select "home / Public /" by default, which I assume would be a reasonable behavior. Is it possible?
From what I checked it's handled in file skins/flamingo/menus_content.vm ? "#macro(displayCreateButton) <div class="dropdown" id="tmCreate"> <a href="$doc.getURL('create')" role="button" title="$services.localization.render('core.menu.create')"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus"></span></a> </div> #end"
Any suggestions on how to change it? I tried replacing the lines: <div class="dropdown" id="tmCreate"> <a href="$doc.getURL('create')" role="button" title="$services.localization.render('core.menu.create')"> <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus"></span></a> </div> With: #set( $parentEqualsDocFullName = "parent=$escapetool.url($doc.getFullName())" ) <div class="dropdown" id="tmCreate"> <a href="$doc.getURL('create', $parentEqualsDocFullName)" role="button" title="$services.localization.render('core.menu.create')"> <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus"></span></a> </div> Turns out it just ends up being ignored. (Added later) Also, as I understand now it would be redundant. After some googling I found createinline.vm, lines 239-243 #if ($parentReference.equals($homeReference.lastSpaceReference)) ## We want to discourage ending up with all the pages children of the homepage so we ## default to top level documents, unless the user explicitly says otherwise. #set ($parentReference = $parentReference.wikiReference) #end Actually that's exactly what I want. I'm trying to comment out the 4th line. Restarted, it worked. It all seems a bit counterintuitive, could you please consider making it configurable, in "xwiki.properties" maybe? Why exactly is it "discouraged"? Is it only a matter of "style" or are there any potential complications I'm unaware of? Greetings, Lilianne
