Hi Josh,
Thanks for your reply and interest.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to figure out what the heck I'm doing
wrong in this relatively simple case. Beginning to look at alternative
wikis.
Definitely xwiki can be used to build 2.0 level of functionality, but it
seems to me there's a little too much black box. I've tried other
applications as well .. such as the task manager app .. and found problems
others have found as well right out of the box. My point is it's all a
little too vague for my comfort.
I haven't given up, just beginning to look elsewhere as well.
Thanks,
Mark

Re: [xwiki-users] problem with FAQ tutorial .. space assignment?
Hi Mark,
Sorry for the delayed response. I went through the steps of creating the
FAQ application per the tutorial, but I can't reproduce your issue.
Questions are created in the FAQ space for me, not Main. Your code looks
fine as well.
Were you able to figure it out?
Thanks,
-Joshua-

Thanks again, your explanation of spaces was very clear and helpful.
Now that I have a little better understanding of spaces, I'll present my
problem. For some reason when I create a FAQ entry,
it's not going into
the FAQ space but instead into the Main space. Per the tutorial, I
haven't
created a FAQ space explicitly this go round.
It seems to me this can only be happening as a result of the code that
adds a FAQ, or perhaps in the class definition code which specifies the
default space. Looks right to me and jibes with what you've said about
spaces. Here it is yanked directly out of my code .. which was simply a
copy/paste from the tutorial:
FAQClass code:
{{velocity}}
## Replace Main with the Space where you want your documents to be
created.
## Replace the default parent with the one of your choice and save the
document.
##
#set($className = $doc.name.substring(0, $doc.name.indexOf("Class")))
#set($defaultParent = 'FAQ.WebHome')
#set($defaultSpace = 'FAQ')
{{/velocity}}
{{include document="XWiki.ClassSheet"/}}
FAQTemplate code:
{{include document="FAQ.FAQSheet"/}}
FAQ WebHome code (
http://localhost/xwiki/bin/edit/FAQ/WebHome?&editor=wiki
):
= Existing FAQ entries =
{{velocity}}
#set($sql = ", BaseObject as obj where obj.name=doc.fullName and
obj.className='FAQ.FAQClass' and
obj.name<>'FAQ.FAQTemplate'")
#set($results = $xwiki.searchDocuments($sql))
#if($results.empty)
No FAQ has been created yet!
#else
#foreach ($item in $results)
#set($faq = $xwiki.getDocument($item))
* [[${faq.display("question").replace("<p>",
"").replace("</p>",
"")}>>${item}]]
#end
#end
{{/velocity}}
{{velocity}}
#if("$!request.docName" != '')
## Request for creating a new instance
#set($targetDocName = "${request.spaceName}.${request.docName}")
#set($targetDocName = $targetDocName.replace("?",
"").replace("#",
"").trim())
#if(!$xwiki.exists($targetDocName) && $xwiki.hasAccessLevel('edit',
$context.user, $targetDocName))
$response.sendRedirect($xwiki.getURL($targetDocName, 'inline',
"template=${request.template}&parent=${request.parent}"))
## Stop processing, since we already sent a redirect.
#stop
#end
#end
= Add a new question =
#if("$!targetDocName" != '' && $xwiki.exists($targetDocName))
{{warning}}The target document already exists. Please choose a
different
name, or [[view the existing
document>>$targetDocName]]{{/warning}}
#elseif("$!targetDocName" != '')
{{warning}}You don't have permission to create that
document{{/warning}}
#end
{{html}}
<form action="" id="newdoc" method="post">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="parent"
value="${doc.fullName}"/>
<input type="hidden" name="template"
value="FAQ.FAQTemplate"/>
<input type="hidden" name="sheet" value="1"/>
<input type="hidden" name="spaceName"
value="FAQ"/>
Document: <input type="text" name="docName"
value="Enter your
question here" class="withTip" size="50"/>
<span class="buttonwrapper"><input type="submit"
value="Create
this
FAQ" class="button"/></span>
</div>
</form>
{{/html}}
{{/velocity}}
So what am I missing?
Thanks,
Mark

Re: [xwiki-users] problem with FAQ tutorial .. space assignment?
Mark,
You're very welcome. It's not necessary to explicitly create the WebHome
in FAQ until later in the tutorial. Question/Answer
documents that are
created from the FAQ Class page will go into the FAQ space, which "comes
into existence" the instant any document is
placed in it.
For example, if you add a question/answer page called
"FAQ.Howtoeditapage", you can still get to it regardless of whether
"FAQ.WebHome" exists.
A space "disappears" when every document that is part of the space is
deleted. So a space is just a collection of documents and doesn't really
exist outside of those documents. It's really just
a convenient way to
organize your documents.
Good luck, and if you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to
ask.
-Joshua-

Hi Joshua,
Thanks very much for your prompt reply. It helps a lot to
know the history and what WebHome means!
Am I correct then in first creating the FAQ space explicitly,
even though that's not called for in the tutorial? Like so:
"I've first created the FAQ Space, then built the FAQ Class,
etc, then put the code into the 'home' page for the space, ie
http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/"
Thanks,
Mark

Re: [xwiki-users] problem with FAQ tutorial .. space assignment?
Hi Mark,
http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/ actually takes you to
http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/WebHome. "WebHome" is the
home page
for any given space. The name "WebHome" came from earlier versions of
XWiki, when a Space was called a Web.
Hope this helps,
-Joshua-

Subject: [xwiki-users] problem with FAQ tutorial .. space
assignment?
Hi,
I've followed along in the tutorial in the dev guide for
creating a FAQ at
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial
Here's my first point of confusion: in section 'Create a
homepage for your application' it states 'Go to the
"FAQ.WebHome" page'. I do not see such a page. In the latest
iterations of building the FAQ I've first created the FAQ
Space, then built the FAQ Class, etc, then put the code into
the 'home' page for the space, ie
http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/
I'm sure my problems stem from my weak
understanding of this
step and how spaces are created and referenced.
Thanks,
Mark
