Hi XWiki Users!
First a big thanks to Jerome and Vincent who encouraged me to keep
on trying with xwiki!
And you can now try http://playground.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/
with the new XWiki 2.0 final version :)
Note that I've applied what I suggested re the banner.
I downloaded the 2.0rc2 and tested some more stuff.
1. A small bug in the blog area
I added a blog on my own and got a page containing
"#includeForm('Blog.CategorySheet')".
That form seems to be missing.
We need to know more about what you did. Also when you say blog do you
mean blog post or a full-fledged blog system?
2. We currently use TWiki and would need to migrate to
TWIki.
I found TWiki-Syntax-Support mentioned but could not find doc about
how to activate it.
I would like to convert pages from TWiki-Syntax to XWiki 2.0-Syntax.
Would that be possible to do wirh XWiki?
Perhaps by going TWiki Syntax -> HTML -> XWiki 2.0 Syntax?
We have some converted but it's not perfect. You can try it and report
issue though.
To activate it see:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/PageEditing
(We have about 5000 TWIki-Pages and no classes of idle
students
around ...)
Hehe.... We're building full wiki importer but it's not fully ready yet.
Right now you can write some REST script to take your twiki content
and put is a xwiki page content and then xwiki can convert it or
display it natively in twiki-syntax (but with limitations). Conversion
is recommended.
3. I'm missing "monospace" in
WYSIWYG-Editor? Anywhere hidden?
4. Forms
We use TWiki-Forms for structured Metadata.
I guess I could implement my own class in java to get something
similiar in XWiki?
Does XWiki have something to add and edit structured meta data to
pages without going through java?
Maybe using groovy?
Yes definitely, see the DevGuide (which will be updated for 2.0 in a
few days):
