Antw: RE: [xwiki-users] RE: xwiki as help system and external mappings

Hi Brian, I have some dummy questions for you: - How do I remove an entire space? (in the GUI) - I would like to merge the data from 2 exisiting experimental XWikis into a new 1.0 (now B6) Produktion XWiki. First, I need to get rid of some spaces (e.g. Photo galerie) that we don't want to start with. Second, I need to move some pages that were created in Main to some other space. Do you know a tool that could support me with this task and are there issues with hacking the xar and package.xml? - I intend to also switch to the new "albatross" skin. Are you aware of issues switching from old skin to new skin? - Where can I look for alternative stylesheets to that skin and documentation? - Also, I like to move the XWikis in stages. Thus, I wonder how XWiki reacts to updating existing pages continously with a new imports. I searched the maillist but could not find any useful information. If these are not entirely dummy questions I will send them also the mailing list. Did you have a chance to look at my LDAP module yet? Regards, Gunter A good beginning, to be sure; actually, though, the launch page you propose doesn't accomplish much more than just composing the link as the application could do for itself. However, it is probably a good idea to use such a facility, because it could present a page that included the help page if it existed, with options (subject to permissions) to create or edit it, where the "create" option would invoke the editor with a template which would - like most help systems I'm familiar with today - give the user options to view a topical index or search for a topic. The benefit here would be that the index could contain more general help not specific to one page's context, but of course, you could also put code in the template to search for and display relevant topics. Also, if you can put code into the application's context menu, you can make each help-enabled field on the form set a fragment identifier (#anchor) within the help page, to go directly to help text specific to that field. It would probably be better to handle that as a parameter, though, because it would be harder for XWiki to determine whether the field-specific help actually existed and offer to create it. Of course, all that could also be accomplished by means of skinning the space, where the view template did all of the above when referencing a specific application page's help text. And needless to say, automating the page and field naming is a must... brain[sic] #end mappings help I all the is ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diese E-Mail enthaelt vertrauliche und/oder rechtlich geschuetzte Informationen.
