Hi all,
It'm trying to use "tags" as a more structured categorization feature.
First I saw that in tagedit.vm, we can change to a select list instead of an input field
for entering tags. I changed this in the displayEdit property for XWiki.TagClass, but
without effect.
In tagedit.vm we have (XWiki 1.5) :
#set($displayType =
$xwiki.getDocument("XWiki.TagClass").xWikiClass.tags.getProperty('displayType').value)
#set($possibleTags = $tdoc.tagsPossibleValues)
....
First line is ok and says "select", but $tdoc.tagsPossibleValues is always
empty ...
So my question is : where is defined the list of possible tags for page(s) ? I though it
was the "tags" field of page XWiki.TagClass, but it seems it's not ...
I didn't even know this feature! I checked the code of
"getTagsPossibleValues" in XWikiDocument.java
(http://fisheye2.atlassian.com/browse/~raw,r=11430/xwiki/xwiki-platform/core…),
the list is constructed based of pipe-separated values in the "tags"
property of XWiki.TagClass (this is the moment I discovered that tags
are stored as a static list, too ;))
So if you say "tag1|tag2|tag3" here, this is what
$doc.tagsPossibleValues will return you (as a list).
Hope this helps.
When you successfully do have the tags displayed as a select list with
finished list of possible values, what would be cool is that you create
a FAQ entry for it to explain how you did.
Cheers,
Jerome.
Thanks for help,
Jeremie
