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
