That is why I took the time to write about this. It works. Create a page with [[test]]. You’ll see a question mark (wanted link). Click on it, add content and save. Navigate back to your first page. The link works. What you’re showing in the screenshots is orange and apples. In one link you link to a new page called MyExamplePage. And in the second one you link to a page named MyExamplePage.WebHome. In Mediawiki try create a page2 that exists (and a page1 that doesn’t). Then write in another page: [[page1]] [[page2]] You’ll get the same result. Thanks -Vincent > Anton Hughes

Re: [xwiki-users] [xwiki-devs] [Idea] Make Markdown syntax available as an optional subset of the XWiki 2.1 syntax
by Paul Libbrecht 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

I'm trying to find "comparable tools" that we could document there as being comparable experiences that users might have met already. I do not see any yet (Confluence and Jenkins seem to have pedgown as an option, that's the only similarity I find). So... this is "just another extended markdown" ? Caleb, did you have something more pangalactic in mind?

[xwiki-users] What is the XWiki equivalent of Mediawiki categories and embed?
by Anton Hughes 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Hello In a Mediawiki page, a user can added [[category:my category]], and the page will be accessible from the 'my category' category. The same page can be added to many categories. The nested page concept seems to be hierarchical only, so a page belongs in a tree, but cannot therefore be in other trees. Also, in Mediawiki, there is the possibility ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Embed_page) to embed pages ? I have tried using the mediawiki syntax for this but it does not seem to work. -- Anton Hughes

[xwiki-users] Help on Using Database Tree property
by Ramon Gomes Brandao 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

Hi Team, I could not yet get a proper working instance of an object with Database Tree property. Is there any reference I can check on detais of how I can use this? Everything I could find related with DBTree was on JIRA and they're not clear. I see that I need a page hierarchy to display. Is it only a matter of parent-child relationship (if so, how can I inform to DBTree property the "root" of the hierarchy) or I can use the XE's native "relational" mechanism between objetcs, as I do with Database List? I've tested both approaches, without success. I'm not using App within minutes, because I would like to learn and understand how this works to build bigger applications. Below is the example of what I'm trying to build. Thanks again in advance, Ramon Brandão -----Original Message----- From: users [mailto:[email protected]] in name of Ramon Gomes Brandao Sent on: terça-feira, 24 de novembro de 2015 19:30 To: users(a)xwiki.org Subject: [xwiki-users] Database Tree property Error on XE 7.1.2 Hi Xwiki Team, I'm building an application on XE 7.1.2 and it uses classes with 1:N relations between them through Database List and (potentially) Database Tree property. The relation using Database Tree is not working. For illustration of my use case, I have the following classes: Space.Info0Class with properties: "info0ID" type String "info0Name" type String Space.Info1Class with properties: "info1ID" type String "info1Name" type String "relatedInfo0" type Database List -> with Xwiki Class Name=Space.Info0Class, Id Field Name=info0ID and Value Field Name=info0Name Space.Info2Class with properties: "info2ID" type String "info2Name" type String "relatedInfo1" type Database Tree List -> with Xwiki Class Name=Space.Info1Class, Id Field Name=info1ID, Value Field Name=info1Name and Parent Field Name=relatedInfo0 The relation I want to build is, then: 1 Instance of Info0Class can be related to (0...N) Info1Class, which then can be related to (0...N) Info2Class. When creating a new instance of Info2Class, I would like to show the information on relatedInfo1's select box in a tree view manner, where the "relatedInfo0" instance name is the aggregator and all the related Info1Class instances are the leafs. Thus, the user can get a much better idea of which Info1Class she/he can select for relatedInfo1 field. I've used, since then, only the default pages and codes generated by class editor (default sheet to display class properties and default template). I got the relation working like a charm between Info1Class and Info0Class, but things are not working with Info2Class and Info1Class. Creating a new instance of Info2Class triggers a "org.apache.velocity.exception.MethodInvocationException: Invocation of method 'display' in class com.xpn.xwiki.api.Document threw exception java.lang.StackOverflowError" and infinite "com.xpn.xwiki.objects.classes.DBTreeListClass.addToSelect(DBTreeListClass.java:319)" calls. In this way, I could not even check if this use case is valid for the Database Tree List. I've searched deeply and really could not find any further documentation about Database Tree Usage, neither examples, nor detailed information on how to get this working. The only reference is a brief description on the XWiki Data Model Page mentioning the Yahoo Javascript Tree Library. So, the questions for the team are: 1) Where can I find more information (a good tutorial/documentation/usage example) about Database Tree List? 2) Is it suitable for this use case? Am I doing it right? 3) What do I need to get a Database Tree property/relation to work? Thanks in advance for your help.

[xwiki-users] Create spaces and page in toplevel space via Java component
by gervwyk 25 Nov '15

25 Nov '15

Hello. How would I create a new space under Main or the toplevel entity from a java component. So far I'm doing this, but not sure.. DocumentReference docref = new DocumentReference(serverName,pageSpace,pageName); if(xwiki.exists( docref, xcontext)){ //skip create do other stuff }else{ XWikiDocument doc = new XWikiDocument(docref); doc.setTitle(pageName); DocumentReference docrefparent = new DocumentReference(serverName,pageSpace,"WebHome"); doc.setParentReference(docrefparent); xwiki.saveDocument(doc, xcontext); } Where: serverName = $request.serverName pageSpace = "Main" pageName = "NewPage" is there anything else I need to set on the document or am I referencing wrong? Not sure why it is not creating the page.. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Create-spaces-and-page-in-toplevel-space-… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Dears, I've just updated to XWiki 7.3. I'm really happy to keep enjoying XWiki and to see how the framework is evolving. The interface is now cleaner, much nicer. All behind the scene seems to me clearer release after release. Thanks for the effort!

[xwiki-users] [Survey] Feedback about XWiki and future features
by vincent＠massol.net 21 Nov '15

21 Nov '15

Hi, In previous years the xwiki.org project launched surveys about features we’d like to see implemented in XWiki (see http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Feedback) After some discussions with fellow XWikiers we thought it could be interesting to launch a similar survey in 2015, especially with the 8.x cycle approaching. But this time instead of having a long list of features to vote on, we thought it might be more interesting to have a few open questions that the community could answer. The aim of this short survey is to find out more about how satisfied (or not!) the members of the XWiki community are with the XWiki product. We'd be happy to learn about: * what you like / dislike about the product * the features and improvements you’d like to see in the product in the future and especially for XWiki 8.x The survey will run till November 13 and the results will be synthesised and made available mid-November through a blog post on the community blog ( http://blog.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/ ) The survey has 6 questions and should only take a few minutes: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/SurveyXWikiProduct2015 Thanks a lot for your contributions and for helping improve the product, -Silvia & Vincent
