Hi Marius,
Thanks a lot for your help.
Actually, after browsing the forum, I found someone had a similar problem (or so I thought). And I thought that my solution was along the lines of setting the parent and parentId of the pages (while calling the API and as data passed in the call) .
The parent field has been deprecated http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/ContentOrganization/Nested... .

Thanks again for your help and I'll check on it.
Cheers,
Juan

Hi Juan,
You got it almost right, but you need to read http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/ContentOrganization/ , especially the part that explains the difference between terminal and non-terminal pages.

Hi,
I'm quite new in XWiki and trying to use the RestAPI to create pages, and pages inside pages (which I think is called spaces). I have the feeling that 'spaces' is a legacy term, and that in the current XWiki (Enterprise 9.1), an space is just a page that contains other pages. Kindly correct me if I'm wrong, but I have not find anywhere how to create an space.
Below the 2 URLs I'm using to create the pages. In both cases, when I use PUT to call the 2 urls, I pass as data a content and a title. I have no problem with the title and the content, both are being created correctly. My end goal is to create pages, and pages withing pages.
"http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/2017- 2020/pages/madrid
This creates a terminal page "madrid".
" "
<http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/2017- 2020/spaces/madrid/pages/cibeles>
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/2017- 2020/spaces/madrid/pages/cibeles
This creates a terminal page "cibeles" inside a non-terminal page "madrid".
"
In both cases, I'm using PUT and I'm able to create pages successfully, however, not as I want:
- " http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/2017- 2020/pages/madrid " This one creates a page called "madrid" (with the content I pass)
- " http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/2017- 2020/spaces/madrid/pages/cibeles " I would expect this one to create a page named "cibeles" inside the previous "madrid" page. Instead, it creates a new "madrid" page (without any text in the content, which is fine as I dont pass anything), and inside this page, the "cibeles" page (with the content I expect)
So, I end up having TWO pages named "madrid"
Exactly. One is terminal and the other one is non-terminal. The actual references (identifiers) are:
xwiki:2017-2020.madrid <--- this is the terminal page (can't have child pages) xwiki:2017-2020.madrid.WebHome <--- this is the non-terminal page (can have child page)
Hope this helps, Marius
One points to "http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/2017-2020/madrid/
"
(and have inside a page named cibeles) . This "madrid" page displays this text: "The requested page could not be found.", although inthe hierarchy tree I see it has a page inside.
The other (without a nested page), points to: " http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/2017-2020/madrid" and has a proper content (which I passed in the PUT request)
(notice the / at the end of the URL, "madrid" vs "madrid/" )
How to indicate that the page should be created in an existing page without the need to create this new parent page? Or even if I have to create first the parent page, how to tell that the child page should be inside that existing parent page?
Thanks for your help,
Juan
