Hi All,
Here are my choices/picks for creating a new Class/Sheet/Template...
According to: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial
Can anyone see some obvious mistake ?
------------------------------------------
Step1 - Create Class
------------------------------------------
Create Class with these values:
>>Web: Try7
>>Class: Try7Faq
------------------------------------------
Step1b - Complete Edit Save of Class
------------------------------------------
Add Title:
>>'Try7 Class Title'
Leave Default Parent - but Change defaultweb:
>>#set($defaultparent = 'XWiki.${class}Class')
>>#set($defaultweb = 'Try7')
------------------------------------------
Step2 - Edit Class Add Properties
------------------------------------------
Added two TextArea properties: TestA and TestB - default options
------------------------------------------
Step3 - Click Create Document Sheet
------------------------------------------
Add Title:
>> Try7 Document Sheet Title
Change Velocity template text:
>>#set($class = $doc.getObject('Try7.Try7Faq').xWikiClass)
------------------------------------------
Step4 - Click Create Document Template
------------------------------------------
Add Title:
>>Try7 Document Template Title
Change Velocity template text:
>>#includeForm('Try7.Try7FaqClassSheet')
------------------------------------------
Step5 - Click Create Document Template
------------------------------------------
Click on ObjectsTab -- 'Add Object from this Class' dropdown:
>>Added Try7.Try7FaqClass to ObjectsTab of Document Template.
**NOTE: The two textareas show up fine - OK...
Save and Exit...
------------------------------------------
TEST - Create Instance Of Object/Document
------------------------------------------
Click on the create document button....
>> Only the document title shows -- properties/textareas that were
added do not show ? I'm not sure why....
Attached is an error stack (maybe unrelated) that I'm getting but not consistently when going through the above steps....
Thanks
Frank

Hi All,
I'm really disappointed by the lack of in depth XWiki developer tutorial.
XWiki has been around for a while -- and the only good material I can find is here:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/CreatingPlugins
The above links are the level of tutorial I'm looking for -- but they don't go far/long enough....
I've followed the FAQTutorial steps and cannot get the example to work as described.
I've performed all steps as described -- without error/warning -- but when I try to create a new custom FAQ document -- my class properties (question & answer) are not being shown on the edit/creation page ? It's just blank space with two rows of Cancel/Save-Continue/Save-View etc buttons.
* I'm using XWIKI: 1.1-milestone-3.3933
* On Windows XP with Apache Tomcat 5.5.12
* I'm using MySQL as the database - I think it's UTF8 - Server version: 5.0.13-rc-nt
1) When I'm querying the database -- the tables:
xwikiproperties - is being populated -- but newly added entries seem to have negative values for XWO_ID column.
xwikiobjects - is being populated -- but newly added entries seem to have negative values for XWO_ID column.
xwikiclasses - is empty ? why ?
2) I would be very grateful to a link to some decent tutorial/documentation -- even if I have to pay for it...
It would be great to see something along the lines of the 'FAQTutorial' but with more indepth look at available Velocity objects/macros and discussion of how Documents/Classes/Objects/Properties are actually related....
I can't believe this stuff isn't better documented :(
Hope someone can help me out...
Thanks
Frank
