Hi Vincent,
Thanks for your help. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. My
difficulty is
in finding what it is I'm doing wrong. I'll review the steps again,
this
time paying special attention to the points you raised.
It'd help if you could expand on " .. or have set up some different
configuration for the default wiki syntax for new pages". I installed
xwiki from scratch, then pulled in xwiki-enterprise-wiki-2.0.xar, then
started typing in the faq example. If that somehow affected the
configuration for default wiki syntax, I'm not aware how.
If you haven't touched the default config then all new pages are
created in XWiki Syntax 2.0 by default, which is fine and matches the
FAQ tutorial expectations.
In http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial#HCreatetheFAQ…
, there's a step where you'll see:
#set($defaultSpace = 'Main')
As described, replace "Main" with the space where you want the docs to
be created, for ex: "FAQ".
Thanks

Point noted on user contributed code.

Hi Josh,
Thanks for your reply and interest.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to figure out what the heck I'm
doing
wrong in this relatively simple case. Beginning to look at
alternative
wikis.
Definitely xwiki can be used to build 2.0 level of functionality,
but it
seems to me there's a little too much black box. I've tried other
applications as well .. such as the task manager app .. and found
problems
others have found as well right out of the box. My point is it's
all a
little too vague for my comfort.
One thing to note: this task manager app is not written nor supported
by the XWiki dev team. It's been contributed by individuals and is
supported by them or any contributor who wants to help. The quality of
the code you find on code.xwiki.org varies a lot. All we can guarantee
here is the code that is developed by the XWiki dev team.
In general if apps on code.xwiki.org break it's because they haven't
been updated at the same rate as the XWiki platform and in general
it's really not much to make them work (a few minutes of work).
The FAQ tutorial works well AFAIK. IMO you've probably forgotten some
steps (in one step you must edit the default template to set in which
space new FAQ documents are created - not that it matters, it'll work
wherever they are created) or have set up some different configuration
for the default wiki syntax for new pages.
Thanks
-Vincent
I haven't given up, just beginning to look
elsewhere as well.
Thanks,
Mark

Re: [xwiki-users] problem with FAQ tutorial .. space assignment?
Hi Mark,
Sorry for the delayed response. I went through the steps of creating
the
FAQ application per the tutorial, but I can't reproduce your issue.
Questions are created in the FAQ space for me, not Main. Your code
looks
fine as well.
Were you able to figure it out?
Thanks,
-Joshua-

http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users Hi Joshua,
(I apologize to all if this appears more than once; I haven't been
successful posting to the mailing list since before yesterday.
Perhaps
attachments are prohibited? Trying again without.)
Thanks again, your explanation of spaces was very clear and helpful.
Now that I have a little better understanding of spaces, I'll
present my
problem. For some reason when I create a FAQ
entry, it's not going
into
the FAQ space but instead into the Main space. Per the tutorial, I
haven't
created a FAQ space explicitly this go round.
It seems to me this can only be happening as a result of the code
that
adds a FAQ, or perhaps in the class definition code which specifies
the
default space. Looks right to me and jibes with what you've said
about
spaces. Here it is yanked directly out of my code .. which was
simply a
copy/paste from the tutorial:
FAQClass code:
{{velocity}}
## Replace Main with the Space where you want your documents to be
created.
## Replace the default parent with the one of your choice and save
the
document.
##
#set($className = $doc.name.substring(0,
$doc.name.indexOf("Class")))
#set($defaultParent = 'FAQ.WebHome')
#set($defaultSpace = 'FAQ')
{{/velocity}}
{{include document="XWiki.ClassSheet"/}}
FAQTemplate code:
{{include document="FAQ.FAQSheet"/}}
FAQ WebHome code (
http://localhost/xwiki/bin/edit/FAQ/WebHome?&editor=wiki
):
= Existing FAQ entries =
{{velocity}}
#set($sql = ", BaseObject as obj where obj.name=doc.fullName and
obj.className='FAQ.FAQClass' and
obj.name<>'FAQ.FAQTemplate'")
#set($results = $xwiki.searchDocuments($sql))
#if($results.empty)
No FAQ has been created yet!
#else
#foreach ($item in $results)
#set($faq = $xwiki.getDocument($item))
* [[${faq.display("question").replace("<p>",
"").replace("</p>",
"")}>>${item}]]
#end
#end
{{/velocity}}
{{velocity}}
#if("$!request.docName" != '')
## Request for creating a new instance
#set($targetDocName = "${request.spaceName}.${request.docName}")
#set($targetDocName = $targetDocName.replace("?",
"").replace("#",
"").trim())
#if(!$xwiki.exists($targetDocName) && $xwiki.hasAccessLevel('edit',
$context.user, $targetDocName))
$response.sendRedirect($xwiki.getURL($targetDocName, 'inline',
"template=${request.template}&parent=${request.parent}"))
## Stop processing, since we already sent a redirect.
#stop
#end
#end
= Add a new question =
#if("$!targetDocName" != '' && $xwiki.exists($targetDocName))
{{warning}}The target document already exists. Please choose a
different
name, or [[view the existing
document>>$targetDocName]]{{/warning}}
#elseif("$!targetDocName" != '')
{{warning}}You don't have permission to create that
document{{/warning}}
#end
{{html}}
<form action="" id="newdoc" method="post">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="parent"
value="${doc.fullName}"/>
<input type="hidden" name="template"
value="FAQ.FAQTemplate"/>
<input type="hidden" name="sheet" value="1"/>
<input type="hidden" name="spaceName"
value="FAQ"/>
Document: <input type="text" name="docName" value="Enter

<span class="buttonwrapper"><input type="submit"
value="Create

FAQ"
class="button"/></span>
</div>
</form>
{{/html}}
{{/velocity}}
So what am I missing?

Re: [xwiki-users] problem with FAQ tutorial .. space assignment?
Mark,
You're very welcome. It's not necessary to explicitly create the
WebHome
in FAQ until later in the tutorial.
Question/Answer documents that
are
created from the FAQ Class page will go into the FAQ space, which
"comes
into existence" the instant any document is
placed in it.
For example, if you add a question/answer page called
"FAQ.Howtoeditapage", you can still get to it regardless of whether
"FAQ.WebHome" exists.
A space "disappears" when every document that is part of the space
is
deleted. So a space is just a collection of documents and doesn't
really
