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!
Hi!

Yes, I came from the Media Wiki and section editing is pretty popular way of
collaborative editing (
avoiding the whole page locks ). 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.
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!

Thank you Ricardo !
