Hello :)
I configured my XWiki instance in the following way:
#-# This parameter will activate the sectional editing. xwiki.section.edit=1
#-# This parameter controls the depth of sections that have section editing. #-# By default level 1 and level 2 sections have section editing. xwiki.section.depth=6
I have many users working on documents simultaneously and in order to minimize document locking and possible merging I encourage them to edit sections/paragraphs instead. I noticed that when, for instance, two users edit different sections within the same page, the latter gets the message:
This object is currently locked by user1
I checked and it's possible to force editing and save both of concurrent changes to that document, but the message itself is a bit confusing to the users. I'm asking if it's possible to change xwiki configuration to not display that message when the users edit different paragraphs within the same page ?
To the best of my understanding locking is set a document level. So, if any user edits a section, all other users will receive that message.
I think what you are doing is a bit risky. I've had here some problems following the same problem. When an user received this message, although she/he is editing only a section, there is no way of knowing if they are in the same section or in a different one. Even more, if you edit a document using the same user at two different locations, you won't receive the locking message.
Yes, I came from the Media Wiki and section editing is pretty popular way of collaborative editing ( avoiding the whole page locks ).
I also arrives to XWiki from MediaWiki years ago. So, with the current MediaWiki release, is it possible to do section edition and get a warning only if two users edit the same section?
Thanks!
To be sure, I did some tests here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Sandbox no warnings, you can even edit the same section but then you'll need to get through the merge phase. In that case you see such a message: Someone else has changed this page since you started editing it. The upper text area contains the page text as it currently exists. Your changes are shown in the lower text area. You will have to merge your changes into the existing text. Cheers, Piotr
In fact it was one of the reason I've chosen XWiki ( possibility to edit sections ). In my case, it could happen that several people work on the same document at once, so sections could preserve the separation of their work.
But the solution to this situation is on its way! Are you aware of this?
That is really interesting, will try it if that's possible.
Hope this helps!
Ricardo
Thank you Ricardo !
