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) ...
Thanks,
Jérémie
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 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")). Anyone know if there any
better ways?

| [xwiki-users] How to create a
macro ? |

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 ?
Regards
Roopesh
