- How is the visibility of references across spaces/pages? I assume
references created locally on a page (e.g., $mydoc) stay local,
means if you
want for example work with one document on the menu and the toolbar
and the
main page, you have to create a kind of administrator object, which
can be
used across the xwiki or space. What is the recommended practice here?
Have you tried it? I don't have the time right now but I'd say the
scope is global.
I tried, and the vairables were not global. Mistake?Design?Problem I had?
- I would volunteer to create a docu about how to
use the API, if I
understood the inner guts of it. When is a documentation planned
with some
examples, who is in charge of it and could help?
Have you checked the documentation on http://xwiki.org? What is
missing? Everyone is in charge... It's a wiki. You see something that
is required, you volunteer, you ask on the list first and explain
what you want to do and when you get agreement, you edit pages on
xwiki.org and implement it.
I do look after xwiki.org to ensure it stays consistent, has a good
quality, etc.
Vincent, I spent hours trying to understand the meaning of the methods and
their parameters in the API docu. After I thought I had a hunch, I tried
them and failed in approx. 60% of the cases (which just means I didn't
understand). The docu is generated automatically and only if somebody
added a comment to the method, you have additional information. Example:
getAttachmentURL(java.lang.String filename, java.lang.String action) ,
what is "action"? I have no clue, other parameters I am clueless about is
'key'. What does the $context really mean and how do I use it correctly?
What does the method getProtectedContext() do, the notion of
protectedContext is new to me, etc. etc. Did I miss a whole documentation,
which explains such things? I hope I was more clear what I meant. And I
understand it is a wiki and everybody is invited to contribute, but I need
to understand the architecture and concept first, before I start
documenting it. Maybe it is just me.
- How to I archive the code I created? Any
export/import mechanism
available?
Have you checked the documentation on xwiki.org? :-)
I'm not giving you the answer as I want to ensure this is something
easy to find out. If you don't find it easily please let us know
where you were expecting it so that we can improve the documentation!
I was looking for import/export with search function and found one
relevant document from you
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/ImportExport which doesn't
apply to users of the farm. What did I miss?
Thanks
-Vincent
