Re: [xwiki-users] problem with FAQ tutorial .. space assignment?

Hi Vincent, Thanks for your help. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. My difficulty is in finding what it is I'm doing wrong. I'll review the steps again, this time paying special attention to the points you raised. It'd help if you could expand on " .. or have set up some different configuration for the default wiki syntax for new pages". I installed xwiki from scratch, then pulled in xwiki-enterprise-wiki-2.0.xar, then started typing in the faq example. If that somehow affected the configuration for default wiki syntax, I'm not aware how.

Point noted on user contributed code.

It's been contributed by individuals and is supported by them or any contributor who wants to help. The quality of the code you find on code.xwiki.org varies a lot. All we can guarantee here is the code that is developed by the XWiki dev team. In general if apps on code.xwiki.org break it's because they haven't been updated at the same rate as the XWiki platform and in general it's really not much to make them work (a few minutes of work). The FAQ tutorial works well AFAIK. IMO you've probably forgotten some steps (in one step you must edit the default template to set in which space new FAQ documents are created - not that it matters, it'll work wherever they are created) or have set up some different configuration for the default wiki syntax for new pages.
