Hello,
I am new to xwiki (though like it a lot already...), I have installed the
release notes extension (1.3.1) but I have a problem with the
{{releasenotechanges}} macro. I may not use it properly, but I can't get my
changes appear in the release note page. I changed the default macro to use
the {{changes...}} macro instead, and it works better (but i need to
manually enter the product, version etc...) which is less convenient.
Yep that’s why I introduced that {{releasenotechanges}} indeed :)
Once again I think I may not be using the extension
correctly, but if
someone could point me to the documentation that could help me understand
how it works it would be much appreciated. (of course i have read this page
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Release+Notes+Applicat…
)
It’s probably not very clear but at
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Release+Notes+Applicat…
there’s an explanation about how to install a Demo application using the Release Notes
app.
Could you try installing it and see if it helps?
Also is there a way to change the default template of
the RN to adapt it to
different context (for instance different languages)?
Good point. I haven’t implemented support for multilanguage release notes. You could open
a jira at http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/RN (and provide a pull request if you know how to
do that :)).
The template can be configured (see
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Release+Notes+Applicat…)
but this won’t work to dynamically decide what template to use based on various
parameters.
ATM of you want to do this, you’ll need to modify a page:
ReleaseNotes.Code.HomeExistingReleaseNotes and modify the following lines:
#set ($configDoc = $xwiki.getDocument("${topSpace}.Code.ReleaseNotesConfig"))
#set ($defaultProduct = $configDoc.getValue('product'))
#set ($defaultTemplateReferenceString = $configDoc.getValue('template'))
If you compute the reference to the doc you wish to use as template in the variable
$defaultTemplateReferenceString the rest should work fine.
