Rendering text from other documents' objects
by THOMAS, BRIAN M (SBCSI)
What's the proper way (if any) to get a piece of text rendered in the
context of another document?
One of my users has created aggregate pages that include fields of
objects from other documents, rather like XWiki's blogging feature.
However, when one of these object fields references attachments in their
containing documents, these references (via the {image} macro) fail when
rendered in the context of the aggregate document. I have tried
replacing the direct reference to the field with
$includedDoc.getRenderedContent($includedObject.text), and a few other
tricks, like XWikiContext.setDoc with the XWikiDocument object of the
objects' home document, without success.
I can, of course, have him qualify the references to the attachments so
that they are absolute (at least, relative to the wiki rather than to
the referring document), but that's not nice.
