Yes that’s correct. If you go in the main space and
add a page it’ll correctly create a child page inside the Main space.
How do I “go in the main space”? Until now, I was in the main space by default when I was
at the homepage of my wiki. If I click on “Main” in the list of spaces, it takes me to
that same homepage. From there, if I add a page it has no parent. If I click on another
space in that list, it takes me to that space’s homepage. From there, if I create a new
page the parent is that space. It’s not consistent.
For my information, could you explain why you wish
that all your users create content pages in the Main space?
That’s how it has been working since I first installed XWiki. I installed 6.3, and since
then (up until pre-7.3) all new pages defaulted into the Main space unless the user
entered a different space. I thought that was normal, but you make it sound like that’s
not normal.
Why not, for example, have a Content space at the top
level or some more semantic top level space name under which you’d put all your content?
I thought about that as well, but then I need to transfer everything currently in “Main”
into another space. I guess that would be possible, but I’d have to copy it all into the
“Content” space and then delete it from “Main”. (Which might not be a bad idea anyway for
other reasons)
One solution of course would be to introduce a
configuration option, allowing to choose the reference of the Space into which to create
new pages by default when clicking on “+” on the Home page.
I think this is the best solution, honestly. Mostly because of the way that it worked
before, but also because it would give the administrators an important choice.
I think I’d lean to having pages created in the Main
space by default, as we had before.
I would agree.
Thanks for the reply and suggestions,
Randy
