Yep,

about that the simplest thing to do is to put all your development pages in a /view/Dev/ space, and then use #includeTopic("Dev.ScriptPage") to display them in usual content-only wiki pages while preserving the ability to use the WYSIWYG editor for basic users...

Once you do this the WYSIWYG editor starts becoming useful again... be sure to use the latest XWiki version too since it usually has had more bugs corrected :-)

Hello *,

 

I quite agree with all that's been said in this topic about usability. I must say also as old 0.9 versions user, that usability, user-friendliness, have been considerably improved since these old versions, thanks to xwiki great team ;-) So I believe this will continue to evolve and be better and better with new releases.

 

About scripting : in my team we had "basic" end-users (not quite participative to start with), and 2 admins (including me). As admins we added much dynamic features in many pages, scripting, groovy, HTML, SQL requests and so on … Now end-users are much more participative, and problem is that :

-         we broke possibility of using WYSIWYG editor on these highly dynamic pages

-         for end-users, editing these kind of pages is an awful experience, because it's not human-readable anymore (accepting developers are not completely human ;) ).

In my opinion with XWiki architecture it should be strongly advised to separate "pure content" pages and dynamic or complex pages, using macros for example. It's a good development practice anyway, but you might not think about it when you start working on a wiki site.

 

Anyway I don't regret using XWiki because it's a great wiki IMO, and I really appreciate the way it evolves

I'm happy to hear that. I hope I didn't seem to harsh on the feedback.
I do think xwiki is a nice product!
