To achieve this I would create an xwiki class "shellscript" that contains a single field, named "shcode" which is pure text. Then I would create velocity script that dispalys the page or downloads the code based on some http servlet $request parameters. I would not try to "dig out" the shell code from the wiki page. Note that you can access the servlet request as well as response object so you can make downloading just anything, not only text/html. Regards Peter Verhás Péter +36(30)9306805 peter(a)verhas.com

[xwiki-users] New xwiki user looking for some guidance...
by Kevin_C 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Hi all, First, I'm a total wiki newb. I've been tasked with evaluating xwiki for use by the state agency I work for in order to determine whether or not xwiki can meet our needs as a means to share information both internally and externally. From my initial poking around it looks like xwiki will be fairly easy to work with once I've had the opportunity to wrap my head around some of the seemingly less documented pieces like the Object model and development process. My first task is to replace a set of existing FAQs that have been done with static HTML files. I've worked through the FAQ tutorial but my needs are a bit more extensive and I'm not sure exactly how to modify the example to meet these needs. Here are the main requirements I'm needing to address: 1) Support for Categories and Sub-Categories for questions. Used for displaying questions grouped by sub-category within each of the main Categories. Would this just be a matter of adding a category property to my FAQ class? How would I then access the full list of Categories from the main space in order to link to each set of FAQs? 2) Within each Category (I figured I'd create each main category as a new Space) support for specifying certain users who can add new Questions and Answers. I think I kind of have an idea on how to do this using the user/group frameworks. I just wanted to get an idea of whether this sort of restriction is doable within the existing rights system. 3) Creation of global template for creating/editing and viewing FAQ entries. This is similar to the FAQ tutorial with a main difference being the ability to specify an existing sub-category or to create a new sub-category for the main category the user has permission to create questions/answers for. 4) Main space that acts as a sort of jumping off point for the FAQs. Contains links to all of the main FAQ categories and possibly some general information about submitting new questions and such. I figured I would create a main space and have the re-usable objects defined in it and then have a single page that acts as the entry point to the FAQs. Are there docs for the xwiki object model? How can I find out what properties and methods are available on xwiki objects? Are there docs that explain how to use velocity scripting to do custom queries to retrieve the data to be displayed in a given page? ----- Does this all seem doable in the xwiki system? Does it make sense to develop each major category of FAQ as a Space within the wiki? I'm doing this mainly because of the editing restrictions, is it necessary? Can someone provide a general idea of how I might go about creating this FAQ system that allows questions to be categorized and then fetched/displayed by Category/Sub-Category?!? Thanks!!

[xwiki-users] Creation of Dynamic Tree in Wiki Page
by Dilipkumar Jadhav 11 Jan '09

11 Jan '09

Dear Friends, This is my first ever email to the XWiki Team. Please forgive me if i have inadvertently misused this mailing list since my understanding is that this mailing list is to be used for posting XWiki related technical questions and requests. My organization would like to build Question Answer styled tree structure in the wiki page itself. This is for the helpdesk staff who will follow a tree based navigation while troubleshooting our client's issues. Eg. Are you able to log into the system? Yes No This is not related to my issue Clicking on Yes, No or "This is not...." options would open up a tree right beneath them with some more questions and answers. I was able to create a navigation system based on simple html pages using Matt Kruse's mktree.js and mktree.css plugin which can be found on his website. However, as the number of pages grew it became evident that a simple html editor would not be sufficient to create all those trees. I checked the wiki code for the XWikiTreeView on the index page. However, that is a system that fetches documents in the space and then presents them in tree view. My requirement is to have all the "leaves" and nodes of a tree on the same page (probably using <li> and <ul> tags pretty much the way Matt Kruse does). It would be a great addition to this beautiful and highly efficient wiki that you have created. And every helpdesk staff that i have interacted with would like to have a tree styled navigation apart from the wiki that they can access. Friends, i know that wiki follows a flat format and what I am requesting is a structured navigation. But XWiki is so much more than just a wiki and I would reallly appreciate if anyone could suggest me how to go about doing this. Thank you for your time and patience. -Dilipkumar J Mumbai, India
