Hi There,
I'm a newbie to XWiki and am getting frustrated by my first attempts to
learn my way into the system. I'm a developer, particularly interested
in the capabilities of building applications around custom page
layouts. Therefore I started in on the FAQ Tutorial (but hitting a dead
end there, I also tried the Todo Tutorial with the same results).
The problem seems to be that when I use the XWikiClasses "Wizard" to
define a new class, nothing useful happens. In particular, though I get
no visible error reports, I also don't seem to get a new class created.
After clicking "Create this Class" I get the edit screen shown in the
tutorials, and make the change (or not) to the $defaultWeb binding.
When I click "Save and View" I don't get what the tutorials say I should
get; instead I get a formatted view of the text I was just editing. If
I selected the Edit-->Class option on that page, I get a page that tells
me there is no Class associated with the page (and sure enough no new
class appears in the Class list).
Note that I have tried this on fresh installs based on the
xwiki-enterprise-installer-windows-1.9.2.exe and the
xwiki-enterprise-installer-windows-2.0-milestone-1.exe downloads (and
have even tried following the import intructions for the ClassWizard.xar
<http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/DevGuide/FAQTutorial/ClassWizard.xar>,
though the pages seemed to be there from the start.
This seems like such a basic problem that I must be doing something
wrong, or there must be an obvious fix, but I searched the mailing list
archives and didn't see anything. Here's hoping...
