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.
This is normal. XWO_ID can be any number, not necessarily positive or
consecutive.
xwikiobjects - is being populated -- but newly
added entries seem to
have negative values for XWO_ID column.
The same as above.
xwikiclasses - is empty ? why ?
We don't use this anymore, because the classes/properties were very
fragile at the moment, with many new properties, and it was easy to
forget to update the mapping files. Thus, all the classes are stored
in the xwikidoc table, as XML.
2) I would be very grateful to a link to some decent tutorial/documentation
-- even if I have to pay for it...
Me too, me too... We lack documentation, and we know it, and this is
why we lose many users.
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
