Re: [xwiki-users] advice on wiki structure

Ricardo (and anyone else who like me needed to do more with users and groups than xwiki provides by default), This may help you get started and save time. I have added a bunch of extra properties to users to store more information by changing XWikiUserSheet and use velocity to display the information in useable ways. Below is the basics of a page I have for simply displaying all the info for every user of the wiki, although in our case it has a bunch of custom properties. Following that is some code to show users in each group. /**Start code here**/ All Team Members on the Wiki (using velocity) #set ($sql = ", BaseObject as obj where obj.name=doc.fullName and obj.className='XWiki.XWikiUsers'") #set ($allUsers = $xwiki.searchDocuments($sql)) Click User name to get more information or edit profile <table id="userTable" class="grid sortable filterable doOddEven" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" nowrap> <tr class="sortHeader"> <th>User</th> <th>Project</th> <th>Email</th> <th>Company</th> </tr> #foreach ($user in $allUsers) #set ($userdoc = $xwiki.getDocument($user)) #set ($em = $userdoc.display("email","view",$user)) <tr> <td>[$userdoc.first_name $userdoc.last_name | $userdoc] </td> <td> $userdoc.display("other_info","view",$user)</td> <td>[$em | mailto:$em ]</td> <td> $userdoc.display("company","view",$user)</td> </tr> #end </table> /**END xwiki code /**Start code here**/ Get the email of all users in a group (using velocity) #set ($sql = ", BaseObject as obj where obj.name=doc.fullName and obj.className='XWiki.XWikiGroups'") #set ($allGroups = $xwiki.searchDocuments($sql)) #foreach ($group in $allGroups) 1.1 $group #set ($groupdoc = $xwiki.getDocument($group)) #set ($groupMembers = $util.sort($xwiki.rightsmanager.getAllMembersNamesForGroup($groupdoc.name))) #foreach ($mem in $groupMembers) #set ($userdoc = $xwiki.getDocument($mem)) #set ($em = $userdoc.display("email","view",$mem)) $em<br> #end #end /**END xwiki code
