Hi That worked. The FAQ tutorial is mostly accurate, except for the following: 1) The screenshot show the FAQs in a table by default with no mention of the change to be made in the FAQClassSheet page 2) The screenshots for the properties modification are from an older version. The newer properties page looks different I am now finally getting the hang of this :) Thanks Shiva vmassol wrote:

Hi,

You should check the FAQClassSheet page.

You will find that the code looks something like:

<dl> #foreach($prop in $class.properties) <dt> *${prop.prettyName}* </dt> <dd>$doc.display($prop.getName()) </dd> </dl>

That is, it takes the properties you choose to use and displays them as a list of words with their definitions below using these tags: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/lists.html#h-10.3

If instead you want the results to be displayed as a table, you should change the html on the FAQClassSheet to this:

<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10"> #foreach($prop in $class.properties) <tr> <td> *${prop.prettyName}* </td> <td>$doc.display($prop.getName())</td> </tr> #end </table>

or even better:

{table} Property | Value #foreach($prop in $class.properties) *${prop.prettyName}* | doc.display($prop.getName()) #end {table}

That said I don't recall us changing anything since beta 1 but maybe I just don't recall. If there's something wrong in the FAQ tutorial please let us know so that we can fix it.

Thanks -Vincent

Once this is changed you will get the results in a table.

The only thing that changed is the default code used when you create a new ClassSheet. You can actually change that code to have it display whatever you want :-). For instance check the Applications page on XWiki.org , or give a look to the ClassSheet pages (typically at http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/ NameClassSheet/?viewer=code , where Name could be FAQ, Reference, Application, Calendar and so on...)

Hope this helps,

Guillaume

Hi I have successfully followed the tutorial on creating an FAQ application on xwiki.org. However, i dont get a table with border encompassing the question and answer. Here is the HTML from the browser for an actual document:

<dl> <dt> Question </dt> <dd>How do i use FAQ?</dd> <dt> Answer </dt> <dd>use the FAQ only for questions that do not need lengthy answers. Answers to the FAQ should be short and should not exceed a few lines with no screenshots or attachements.</dd> </dl>

AFAIK, this was working well with Beta1. Did anything change? Or should i create the answer and question properties with non-default values? Thanks Shiva
