RE: [xwiki-users] How to create a macro ?

Hello, I applied exactly the solution proposed by Brian in my Wiki (see his answer below) : create macros in a specific wiki document, import it with an #includeMacros macro located inside the "View" field of my skin, like this: ### ### Main "view" template ### ### General wrapper for view actions ### [.......] </div>## main #template("endpage.vm") #includeMacros('XWiki.MyMacros') #end My problem is that the macro includeMacros adds {pre} / {/pre} tags that get rendered, and so appear in all pages. I cannot put them inside the "content" of the page, because I would have to overload the "contentview.vm" file, in which is declared the "xwikicontent" div. How can I get rid of those {pre} {/pre} tags ? I would like to avoid overloading the "contentview.vm" because I think it's not a good thing to do (it's not in the default templates, but in the skins) ...

To expand on Thomas's second option, you can actually put either the macro definition or a directive including the document containing it into the view template of your skin (to make it global as you desired). This can be done either by modifying /templates/view.vm or the "view" field of your skin (which, if non-empty, will override view.vm). And to clarify his reply slightly, the original macros.vm is actually in the /templates directory. If you wish your macro to be global, regardless of the skin, I think you will want to edit that one instead of the one in your skin directory. This is apparently a change from the pre-1.0 days, when the skins directories didn't contain template files - I presume that they are now copied there from /templates when a skin is created. Vincent (or anybody), can you confirm this? Are these files actually copied whenever a skin is created, or only when a custom version of the file's content is desired? Also, as Vincent mentions in an intervening reply, you can load macros from an XWiki document rather than from a file, using the #includeMacros macro (which, in 0.9.8 brain[sic] ________________________________ From: Thomas Kliethermes [mailto:kliether@us.ibm.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 10:02 AM To: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] How to create a macro ? From what I understand, there's two ways to do it. One, add it to macros.vm in your skin directory. Two, put it in a .vm file you include in the document you need to use it in (using #template("filename.vm")).

Hi How can I create my own macro in my xwiki (say, a macro for adding two numbers). Where should I write it. So that I can use it from any page ?
