Hi,
I need to modify an XWiki application to add some functionality, but I
am new to XWiki and I am having a really hard time understanding it.
I'm running XWiki Enterprise 7.1.2. The FAQ application tutorial
<http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorialManual>
looks promising, but the instructions are outdated and I can't figure
out how to get a finished product that looks like what the tutorial
has. The following instructions are particularly problematic:
In the code, change the word "Main" with the
name of the space where you want you FAQ pages to be created
There is no word "Main".
If you click on "View the template document"
and edit that page in wiki mode, you will see the following code: {{include
document="FAQ.FAQClassSheet"/}}
The page is blank, I don't see any code.
Use the Create top level menu (when using the Colibri
skin) or the Create Panel to create the FAQ.WebHome page
I don't see anything marked "Create".
Is there an experienced XWiki developer who would be willing to go
through the FAQ application tutorial and rewrite it to make sense for
the latest version of XWiki?
More generally, it would be very helpful to have a glossary that
defines and relates terms like "application", "page",
"document",
"object", "property", "class", "template", and
"template provider".
These terms are used in the documentation with little or no
explanation, which adds to the confusion.
