RE: [xwiki-users] xwiki as help system and external mappings

Well, you could do this without changing the wiki core at all. This is a bit abrupt and not really tested, just an idea of what you could do: Create a new page "launch.help". Create a new page per help item and application, eg: "mynewapp.createusers" "mynewapp.creategroups" Where Website is the internal name of your application (assuming more than one application that is). Your help url would look something like: http://xwikihost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/launch/help?app=mynewapp&topic=crea teusers "mynewapp" is the internal name of your application "topic" is the help topic to load Example code for the "launch.help" page #if($request.app && $request.topic) #set($helpApp=$request.app) #set($helpTopic=$request.topic) #set($openDocName="${helpApp}.${helpTopic}") #set($newDoc=$xwiki.getDocument($openDocName)) $response.sendRedirect($xwiki.getURL($newDoc.fullName)) #else #warning("No help exists for the topic selected") #end -----Original Message----- From: RonaldH [mailto:email@ronaldharing.com] Sent: 12 April 2007 14:47 To: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org Subject: [xwiki-users] xwiki as help system and external mappings Greetings all, I would like to use the xwiki system as a help system. The idea is that I have a system where on each page (defined by an unique url, like listContacts.html) there is a help icon. When clicking on the icon the user, will be directed to the xwiki system with the parameter the url that the user was on. This parameter should then be looked up in the xwiki system to see if there is a page for this and shown to the user if exists or asked if he/she wants to make a page. How should I achieve this? I am an experienced java programming so some hacking is no problem, however at the moment I dont have a clue how to handle this using xwiki. Any tips or pointers are appreciated.
