To expand on Thomas's second option, you can actually put
either the macro definition or a directive including the document
containing it into the view template of your skin (to make it global as you
desired). This can be done either by modifying /templates/view.vm or the
"view" field of your skin (which, if non-empty, will override
view.vm).
And to clarify his reply slightly, the original macros.vm
is actually in the /templates directory. If you wish your macro to be
global, regardless of the skin, I think you will want to edit that one
instead of the one in your skin directory. This is apparently a change
from the pre-1.0 days, when the skins directories didn't contain template files
- I presume that they are now copied there from /templates when a skin is
created.
Vincent (or anybody), can you confirm this? Are these
files actually copied whenever a skin is created, or only when a custom version
of the file's content is desired?
Also, as Vincent mentions in an intervening reply, you can
load macros from an XWiki document rather than from a file, using the
#includeMacros macro (which, in 0.9.8
brain[sic]
From what I understand, there's
two ways to do it. One, add it to macros.vm in your skin directory.
Two, put it in a .vm file you include in the document you need to use it
in (using #template("filename.vm")). Anyone know if there any better
ways?

| [xwiki-users] How to create a
macro ? |
|
Hi
How can I create my own macro in my xwiki (say, a macro for
adding two numbers). Where should I write it. So that I can use it from any
page ?
Regards
Roopesh
