One thing to note: this task manager app is not written nor supported by the XWiki dev team. It's been contributed by individuals and is supported by them or any contributor who wants to help. The quality of the code you find on code.xwiki.org varies a lot. All we can guarantee here is the code that is developed by the XWiki dev team. In general if apps on code.xwiki.org break it's because they haven't been updated at the same rate as the XWiki platform and in general it's really not much to make them work (a few minutes of work). The FAQ tutorial works well AFAIK. IMO you've probably forgotten some steps (in one step you must edit the default template to set in which space new FAQ documents are created - not that it matters, it'll work wherever they are created) or have set up some different configuration for the default wiki syntax for new pages. Thanks -Vincent

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.

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/"

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-

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

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

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.

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

I'm sure my problems stem from my weak understanding of this step and how spaces are created and referenced.

As far as the code goes, I did change the default space for the FAQClass to FAQ just as the tutorial stated. The code is earlier in this email trail:
#set($defaultParent = 'FAQ.WebHome') #set($defaultSpace = 'FAQ')
Ok I hadn't checked the code you sent. It looks ok. I don't see the FAQSheet code though. Anyway let us know how your 3rd try goes. Thanks -Vincent

It'd help if you could expand on " .. or have set up some different configuration for the default wiki syntax for new pages". I installed xwiki from scratch, then pulled in xwiki-enterprise-wiki-2.0.xar, then started typing in the faq example. If that somehow affected the configuration for default wiki syntax, I'm not aware how.
If you haven't touched the default config then all new pages are created in XWiki Syntax 2.0 by default, which is fine and matches the FAQ tutorial expectations.
In http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial#HCreatetheFAQC...
, there's a step where you'll see: #set($defaultSpace = 'Main')
As described, replace "Main" with the space where you want the docs to be created, for ex: "FAQ".

Hi Josh,

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.
One thing to note: this task manager app is not written nor supported by the XWiki dev team. It's been contributed by individuals and is supported by them or any contributor who wants to help. The quality of the code you find on code.xwiki.org varies a lot. All we can guarantee here is the code that is developed by the XWiki dev team.
In general if apps on code.xwiki.org break it's because they haven't been updated at the same rate as the XWiki platform and in general it's really not much to make them work (a few minutes of work).
The FAQ tutorial works well AFAIK. IMO you've probably forgotten some steps (in one step you must edit the default template to set in which space new FAQ documents are created - not that it matters, it'll work wherever they are created) or have set up some different configuration for the default wiki syntax for new pages.
Thanks -Vincent
I haven't given up, just beginning to look elsewhere as well.

Hi Vincent, One point I want to check out with you. The part of the tutorial under the heading 'Create a homepage for your application' is a little unclear to me. I was told the FAQ was written during an earlier version of xwiki when a Space was called a Web. In latter attempts to follow the tutorial I've interpreted 'Go to the "FAQ.WebHome" page' as: Go to the Wiki Dashboard (in my setup http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/Main/) click on the unresolved link in the FAQ space edit the resulting page at http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/ I've been told the url http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/ is equivalent to http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/WebHome/ but I'm a little shaky on that point. Since the code on this page actually creates the new FAQ entries, and FAQ entries are definitely being created (though not in the FAQ space), I've been thinking this confusion isn't critical to creating entries in the right space. Is that wrong? --- For completeness, here's the FAQSheet code: {{velocity}} ## You can modify this page to customize the presentation of your object. ## At first you should keep the default presentation and just save the document. = Document $doc.name = #set($class = $doc.getObject('FAQ.FAQClass').xWikiClass) #foreach($prop in $class.properties) ; $prop.prettyName : $doc.display($prop.getName()) #end {{/velocity}} Thanks, Mark BCBS-IL ph 312-653-4293 [email protected] Vincent Massol <[email protected]> Sent by: [email protected] 11/16/2009 09:05 AM Please respond to XWiki Users <[email protected]> To XWiki Users <[email protected]> cc Subject Re: [xwiki-users] problem with FAQ tutorial .. space assignment?

I've been told the url http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/ is equivalent to http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/WebHome/ but I'm a little shaky on that point.
For Xwiki tailing slash is the same as WebHome page. So description above is not correct. Correct explanation is following: http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/ is the same as http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/WebHome without tailing slash. For other pages URL always finishes with Pagename, not slash, e.g. http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/Page1 http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/Page2 etc. http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/WebHome/ is the same as http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/WebHome/WebHome (in this case 1st "WebHome" is space under "Main" space, but 2nd "WebHome" is page in "WebHome" space).

Hi Vincent,
One point I want to check out with you. The part of the tutorial under the heading 'Create a homepage for your application' is a little unclear to me. I was told the FAQ was written during an earlier version of xwiki when a Space was called a Web.
This was true in the past but the FAQ tutorial and the XWiki Class Wizard were rewritten in XWiki Enterprise 2.0 so it's no longer true.
In latter attempts to follow the tutorial I've interpreted 'Go to the "FAQ.WebHome" page' as: Go to the Wiki Dashboard (in my setup http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/Main/)
This is not correct. FAQ.WebHome is well... FAQ/WebHome (or FAQ/ for short).
click on the unresolved link in the FAQ space edit the resulting page at http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/
Yes this will create the FAQ.WebHome page.
I've been told the url http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/ is equivalent to http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/WebHome/ but I'm a little shaky on that point.
Yes it's the same. Forget FAQ/, this is just a shortcut. Always use the fully-qualified name and you'll be fine.
Since the code on this page actually creates the new FAQ entries, and FAQ entries are definitely being created (though not in the FAQ space), I've been thinking this confusion isn't critical to creating entries in the right space. Is that wrong?
It's not critical at all. In the tutorial it just asks you to create the FAQ.WebHome page. I've (hopefully) clarified this on the FAQ tutorial page. So is all working for you now? Thanks -Vincent

For completeness, here's the FAQSheet code: {{velocity}} ## You can modify this page to customize the presentation of your object. ## At first you should keep the default presentation and just save the document. = Document $doc.name =

It'd help if you could expand on " .. or have set up some different configuration for the default wiki syntax for new pages". I installed xwiki from scratch, then pulled in xwiki-enterprise-wiki-2.0.xar, then started typing in the faq example. If that somehow affected the configuration for default wiki syntax, I'm not aware how.
If you haven't touched the default config then all new pages are created in XWiki Syntax 2.0 by default, which is fine and matches the FAQ tutorial expectations.

In general if apps on code.xwiki.org break it's because they haven't been updated at the same rate as the XWiki platform and in general it's really not much to make them work (a few minutes of work).
The FAQ tutorial works well AFAIK. IMO you've probably forgotten some steps (in one step you must edit the default template to set in which space new FAQ documents are created - not that it matters, it'll work wherever they are created) or have set up some different configuration for the default wiki syntax for new pages.

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.

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.

Sadly I'm still creating FAQ entries in the Main space, not the FAQ space.
I'm going to need a little time to cry it all out before I try again. I'd pull my hair out but there's not enough to get a hold on.
If you can export your wiki as a XAR and make it available somewhere at a URL, we could try it out and see what's wrong. Thanks -Vincent

Hi Vincent,
One point I want to check out with you. The part of the tutorial under the heading 'Create a homepage for your application' is a little unclear to me. I was told the FAQ was written during an earlier version of xwiki when a Space was called a Web.
This was true in the past but the FAQ tutorial and the XWiki Class Wizard were rewritten in XWiki Enterprise 2.0 so it's no longer true.
In latter attempts to follow the tutorial I've interpreted 'Go to the "FAQ.WebHome" page' as: Go to the Wiki Dashboard (in my setup http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/Main/)
This is not correct. FAQ.WebHome is well... FAQ/WebHome (or FAQ/ for short).
click on the unresolved link in the FAQ space edit the resulting page at http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/
Yes this will create the FAQ.WebHome page.
I've been told the url http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/ is equivalent to http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/WebHome/ but I'm a little shaky on that point.
Yes it's the same. Forget FAQ/, this is just a shortcut. Always use the fully-qualified name and you'll be fine.
Since the code on this page actually creates the new FAQ entries, and FAQ entries are definitely being created (though not in the FAQ space), I've been thinking this confusion isn't critical to creating entries in the right space. Is that wrong?
It's not critical at all. In the tutorial it just asks you to create the FAQ.WebHome page. I've (hopefully) clarified this on the FAQ tutorial page.
So is all working for you now?
Thanks -Vincent

For completeness, here's the FAQSheet code: {{velocity}} ## You can modify this page to customize the presentation of your object. ## At first you should keep the default presentation and just save the document. = Document $doc.name =
#set($class = $doc.getObject('FAQ.FAQClass').xWikiClass)

If you haven't touched the default config then all new pages are created in XWiki Syntax 2.0 by default, which is fine and matches the FAQ tutorial expectations.

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.
One thing to note: this task manager app is not written nor supported by the XWiki dev team. It's been contributed by individuals and is supported by them or any contributor who wants to help. The quality of the code you find on code.xwiki.org varies a lot. All we can guarantee here is the code that is developed by the XWiki dev team.
In general if apps on code.xwiki.org break it's because they haven't been updated at the same rate as the XWiki platform and in general it's really not much to make them work (a few minutes of work).
The FAQ tutorial works well AFAIK. IMO you've probably forgotten some steps (in one step you must edit the default template to set in which space new FAQ documents are created - not that it matters, it'll work wherever they are created) or have set up some different configuration for the default wiki syntax for new pages.

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.

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.

Hi Vincent, That's a very generous offer and well appreciated. At the moment I don't have a url to point you to, but I'll find something. I assume 'Export as XAR' from the xwiki Main page is sufficient? The resulting xar doesn't seem to have enough content to be of use. I'm guessing that's because I'm using an external db (MySql). If I'm right about that, then I can reinstall the standalone xwiki using the default hsqldb, rebuild the faq and try again. Or perhaps I should export from the FAQ space itself?

Hi Vincent,
That's a very generous offer and well appreciated.
At the moment I don't have a url to point you to, but I'll find something.
I assume 'Export as XAR' from the xwiki Main page is sufficient?
Go to the Admin page, then click export. That'll export the whole wiki but it doesn't matter (unless you want to hide stuff, in which case you could just export the 4 pages: FAQClass, FAQTemplate, FAQSheet and FAQ.WebHome by navigating to each page and choosing export as XAR in the top menu). Of course if your wiki has a public URL it's even easier (but it's probably not the case). Thanks -Vincent
The resulting xar doesn't seem to have enough content to be of use. I'm guessing that's because I'm using an external db (MySql). If I'm right about that, then I can reinstall the standalone xwiki using the default hsqldb, rebuild the faq and try again.
Or perhaps I should export from the FAQ space itself?
Thanks, Mark

Hi Vincent,
Thanks yet again.
Sadly I'm still creating FAQ entries in the Main space, not the FAQ space.
I'm going to need a little time to cry it all out before I try again. I'd pull my hair out but there's not enough to get a hold on.
If you can export your wiki as a XAR and make it available somewhere at a URL, we could try it out and see what's wrong.

Hi Vincent,
One point I want to check out with you. The part of the tutorial under the heading 'Create a homepage for your application' is a little unclear to me. I was told the FAQ was written during an earlier version of xwiki when a Space was called a Web.
This was true in the past but the FAQ tutorial and the XWiki Class Wizard were rewritten in XWiki Enterprise 2.0 so it's no longer true.
In latter attempts to follow the tutorial I've interpreted 'Go to the "FAQ.WebHome" page' as: Go to the Wiki Dashboard (in my setup http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/Main/)
This is not correct. FAQ.WebHome is well... FAQ/WebHome (or FAQ/ for short).
click on the unresolved link in the FAQ space edit the resulting page at http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/
Yes this will create the FAQ.WebHome page.
I've been told the url http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/ is equivalent to http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/WebHome/ but I'm a little shaky on that point.
Yes it's the same. Forget FAQ/, this is just a shortcut. Always use the fully-qualified name and you'll be fine.
Since the code on this page actually creates the new FAQ entries, and FAQ entries are definitely being created (though not in the FAQ space), I've been thinking this confusion isn't critical to creating entries in the right space. Is that wrong?
It's not critical at all. In the tutorial it just asks you to create the FAQ.WebHome page. I've (hopefully) clarified this on the FAQ tutorial page.
So is all working for you now?
Thanks -Vincent

For completeness, here's the FAQSheet code: {{velocity}} ## You can modify this page to customize the presentation of your object. ## At first you should keep the default presentation and just save the document. = Document $doc.name =
#set($class = $doc.getObject('FAQ.FAQClass').xWikiClass)

It'd help if you could expand on " .. or have set up some different configuration for the default wiki syntax for new pages". I installed xwiki from scratch, then pulled in xwiki-enterprise-wiki-2.0.xar, then started typing in the faq example. If that somehow affected the configuration for default wiki syntax, I'm not aware how.
If you haven't touched the default config then all new pages are created in XWiki Syntax 2.0 by default, which is fine and matches the FAQ tutorial expectations.

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.
One thing to note: this task manager app is not written nor supported by the XWiki dev team. It's been contributed by individuals and is supported by them or any contributor who wants to help. The quality of the code you find on code.xwiki.org varies a lot. All we can guarantee here is the code that is developed by the XWiki dev team.
In general if apps on code.xwiki.org break it's because they haven't been updated at the same rate as the XWiki platform and in general it's really not much to make them work (a few minutes of work).
The FAQ tutorial works well AFAIK. IMO you've probably forgotten some steps (in one step you must edit the default template to set in which space new FAQ documents are created - not that it matters, it'll work wherever they are created) or have set up some different configuration for the default wiki syntax for new pages.

Hi Vincent,
One point I want to check out with you. The part of the tutorial under the heading 'Create a homepage for your application' is a little unclear to me. I was told the FAQ was written during an earlier version of xwiki when a Space was called a Web.
I want to clarify that WebHome is, out of the box, the default page of every space, not just FAQ. The default space page can be changed in xwiki.cfg. It wasn't renamed in the default xwiki.cfg to SpaceHome when Webs became Spaces, probably due to backwards compatibility reasons, but I don't know for sure.
In latter attempts to follow the tutorial I've interpreted 'Go to the "FAQ.WebHome" page' as: Go to the Wiki Dashboard (in my setup http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/Main/) click on the unresolved link in the FAQ space edit the resulting page at http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/

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.

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

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-

Hi Vincent,
One point I want to check out with you. The part of the tutorial under the heading 'Create a homepage for your application' is a little unclear to me. I was told the FAQ was written during an earlier version of xwiki when a Space was called a Web.
I want to clarify that WebHome is, out of the box, the default page of every space, not just FAQ. The default space page can be changed in xwiki.cfg. It wasn't renamed in the default xwiki.cfg to SpaceHome when Webs became Spaces, probably due to backwards compatibility reasons, but I don't know for sure.
Yes it wasn't renamed for that reason. We have a jira issue to make its name configurable but it's not right now. Thanks -Vincent
In latter attempts to follow the tutorial I've interpreted 'Go to the "FAQ.WebHome" page' as: Go to the Wiki Dashboard (in my setup http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/Main/) click on the unresolved link in the FAQ space edit the resulting page at http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/
I've been told the url http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/ is equivalent to http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/WebHome/ but I'm a little shaky on that point.
Since the code on this page actually creates the new FAQ entries, and FAQ entries are definitely being created (though not in the FAQ space), I've been thinking this confusion isn't critical to creating entries in the right space. Is that wrong?
---
For completeness, here's the FAQSheet code: {{velocity}} ## You can modify this page to customize the presentation of your object. ## At first you should keep the default presentation and just save the document. = Document $doc.name =
#set($class = $doc.getObject('FAQ.FAQClass').xWikiClass)
#foreach($prop in $class.properties) ; $prop.prettyName : $doc.display($prop.getName()) #end {{/velocity}}

I installed
xwiki from scratch, then pulled in xwiki-enterprise-wiki-2.0.xar, then started typing in the faq example. If that somehow affected the configuration for default wiki syntax, I'm not aware how.
If you haven't touched the default config then all new pages are created in XWiki Syntax 2.0 by default, which is fine and matches the FAQ tutorial expectations.
In

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.
One thing to note: this task manager app is not written nor supported by the XWiki dev team. It's been contributed by individuals and is supported by them or any contributor who wants to help. The quality of the code you find on code.xwiki.org varies a lot. All we can guarantee here is the code that is developed by the XWiki dev team.
In general if apps on code.xwiki.org break it's because they haven't been updated at the same rate as the XWiki platform and in general it's really not much to make them work (a few minutes of work).
The FAQ tutorial works well AFAIK. IMO you've probably forgotten some steps (in one step you must edit the default template to set in which space new FAQ documents are created - not that it matters, it'll work wherever they are created) or have set up some different configuration for the default wiki syntax for new pages.
Thanks -Vincent
I haven't given up, just beginning to look elsewhere as well.

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}}

Hi Vincent et al, Thanks again for the help, very much appreciated. This url should get you to a gui where you select the file to dl: http://www.esnips.com/web/MarkMarzialepublicfolder There's only 1 file in this folder, named 'myxwiki_export.xar'.

Hi Vincent,
That's a very generous offer and well appreciated.
At the moment I don't have a url to point you to, but I'll find something.
I assume 'Export as XAR' from the xwiki Main page is sufficient?
Go to the Admin page, then click export. That'll export the whole wiki but it doesn't matter (unless you want to hide stuff, in which case you could just export the 4 pages: FAQClass, FAQTemplate, FAQSheet and FAQ.WebHome by navigating to each page and choosing export as XAR in the top menu). Of course if your wiki has a public URL it's even easier (but it's probably not the case). Thanks -Vincent
The resulting xar doesn't seem to have enough content to be of use. I'm guessing that's because I'm using an external db (MySql). If I'm right about that, then I can reinstall the standalone xwiki using the default hsqldb, rebuild the faq and try again.
Or perhaps I should export from the FAQ space itself?
Thanks, Mark

If you can export your wiki as a XAR and make it available somewhere at a URL, we could try it out and see what's wrong.

It's not critical at all. In the tutorial it just asks you to create the FAQ.WebHome page. I've (hopefully) clarified this on the FAQ tutorial page.
So is all working for you now?

Hi Mark, I've tested your XAR on my machine on a fresh XE 2.0 instance and... it works perfectly well. I think the problem comes from the text you're inputting in the input under "Add a new question" on FAQ.WebHome. I see the first question you created is named "FAQ.First+question%2C+entered+as+Admin/" -> can you try entering an new question that is simply called "test" (no special characters) and see what happens when you do that? In my case it created http://localhost:9080/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/test which is the expected behavior. I suspect the characters you entered in the input triggered the creation in the wrong location. If that's so, we'll update the FAQ application example to include better name cleaning prior to document creation. Guillaume On 11/16/09, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote:

Go to the Admin page, then click export. That'll export the whole wiki but it doesn't matter (unless you want to hide stuff, in which case you could just export the 4 pages: FAQClass, FAQTemplate, FAQSheet and FAQ.WebHome by navigating to each page and choosing export as XAR in the top menu).
Of course if your wiki has a public URL it's even easier (but it's probably not the case).

The resulting xar doesn't seem to have enough content to be of use. I'm guessing that's because I'm using an external db (MySql). If I'm right about that, then I can reinstall the standalone xwiki using the default hsqldb, rebuild the faq and try again.
Or perhaps I should export from the FAQ space itself?

Sadly I'm still creating FAQ entries in the Main space, not the FAQ space.
I'm going to need a little time to cry it all out before I try again. I'd pull my hair out but there's not enough to get a hold on.
If you can export your wiki as a XAR and make it available somewhere at a URL, we could try it out and see what's wrong.

Hi Vincent,
One point I want to check out with you. The part of the tutorial under the heading 'Create a homepage for your application' is a little unclear to me. I was told the FAQ was written during an earlier version of xwiki when a Space was called a Web.
This was true in the past but the FAQ tutorial and the XWiki Class Wizard were rewritten in XWiki Enterprise 2.0 so it's no longer true.
In latter attempts to follow the tutorial I've interpreted 'Go to the "FAQ.WebHome" page' as: Go to the Wiki Dashboard (in my setup http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/Main/)
This is not correct. FAQ.WebHome is well... FAQ/WebHome (or FAQ/ for short).
click on the unresolved link in the FAQ space edit the resulting page at http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/
Yes this will create the FAQ.WebHome page.
I've been told the url http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/ is equivalent to http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/WebHome/ but I'm a little shaky on that point.
Yes it's the same. Forget FAQ/, this is just a shortcut. Always use the fully-qualified name and you'll be fine.
Since the code on this page actually creates the new FAQ entries, and FAQ entries are definitely being created (though not in the FAQ space), I've been thinking this confusion isn't critical to creating entries in the right space. Is that wrong?
It's not critical at all. In the tutorial it just asks you to create the FAQ.WebHome page. I've (hopefully) clarified this on the FAQ tutorial page.
So is all working for you now?
Thanks -Vincent

For completeness, here's the FAQSheet code: {{velocity}} ## You can modify this page to customize the presentation of your object. ## At first you should keep the default presentation and just save the document. = Document $doc.name =
#set($class = $doc.getObject('FAQ.FAQClass').xWikiClass)
#foreach($prop in $class.properties) ; $prop.prettyName : $doc.display($prop.getName()) #end {{/velocity}}

Hi Vincent,
Thanks again for your help.
As far as the code goes, I did change the default space for the FAQClass to FAQ just as the tutorial stated. The code is earlier in this email trail:
>> #set($defaultParent = 'FAQ.WebHome') >> #set($defaultSpace = 'FAQ')
Ok I hadn't checked the code you sent. It looks ok. I don't see the FAQSheet code though.
Anyway let us know how your 3rd try goes.
Thanks -Vincent
I'm doing this all again from scratch. Maybe 3rd time is a charm.

Hi Vincent,
Thanks for your help. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. My difficulty is in finding what it is I'm doing wrong. I'll review the steps again, this time paying special attention to the points you raised.
It'd help if you could expand on " .. or have set up some different configuration for the default wiki syntax for new pages". I installed xwiki from scratch, then pulled in xwiki-enterprise-wiki-2.0.xar, then started typing in the faq example. If that somehow affected the configuration for default wiki syntax, I'm not aware how.
If you haven't touched the default config then all new pages are created in XWiki Syntax 2.0 by default, which is fine and matches the FAQ tutorial expectations.
In
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial#HCreatetheFAQC...
, there's a step where you'll see: #set($defaultSpace = 'Main')
As described, replace "Main" with the space where you want the docs to be created, for ex: "FAQ".
Thanks -Vincent

One thing to note: this task manager app is not written nor supported by the XWiki dev team. It's been contributed by individuals and is supported by them or any contributor who wants to help. The quality of the code you find on code.xwiki.org varies a lot. All we can guarantee here is the code that is developed by the XWiki dev team.
In general if apps on code.xwiki.org break it's because they haven't been updated at the same rate as the XWiki platform and in general it's really not much to make them work (a few minutes of work).
The FAQ tutorial works well AFAIK. IMO you've probably forgotten some steps (in one step you must edit the default template to set in which space new FAQ documents are created - not that it matters, it'll work wherever they are created) or have set up some different configuration for the default wiki syntax for new pages.

Sadly I'm still creating FAQ entries in the Main space, not the FAQ space.

If you can export your wiki as a XAR and make it available somewhere at a URL, we could try it out and see what's wrong.

Hi Vincent,
One point I want to check out with you. The part of the tutorial under the heading 'Create a homepage for your application' is a little unclear to me. I was told the FAQ was written during an earlier version of xwiki when a Space was called a Web.
This was true in the past but the FAQ tutorial and the XWiki Class Wizard were rewritten in XWiki Enterprise 2.0 so it's no longer true.
In latter attempts to follow the tutorial I've interpreted 'Go to the "FAQ.WebHome" page' as: Go to the Wiki Dashboard (in my setup http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/Main/)
This is not correct. FAQ.WebHome is well... FAQ/WebHome (or FAQ/ for short).
click on the unresolved link in the FAQ space edit the resulting page at http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/
Yes this will create the FAQ.WebHome page.
I've been told the url http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/ is equivalent to http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/WebHome/ but I'm a little shaky on that point.
Yes it's the same. Forget FAQ/, this is just a shortcut. Always use the fully-qualified name and you'll be fine.
Since the code on this page actually creates the new FAQ entries, and FAQ entries are definitely being created (though not in the FAQ space), I've been thinking this confusion isn't critical to creating entries in the right space. Is that wrong?
It's not critical at all. In the tutorial it just asks you to create the FAQ.WebHome page. I've (hopefully) clarified this on the FAQ tutorial page.
So is all working for you now?
Thanks -Vincent

For completeness, here's the FAQSheet code: {{velocity}} ## You can modify this page to customize the presentation of your object. ## At first you should keep the default presentation and just save the document. = Document $doc.name =
#set($class = $doc.getObject('FAQ.FAQClass').xWikiClass)

As far as the code goes, I did change the default space for the FAQClass to FAQ just as the tutorial stated. The code is earlier in this email trail:

Ok I hadn't checked the code you sent. It looks ok. I don't see the FAQSheet code though.

It'd help if you could expand on " .. or have set up some different configuration for the default wiki syntax for new pages". I installed xwiki from scratch, then pulled in xwiki-enterprise-wiki-2.0.xar, then started typing in the faq example. If that somehow affected the configuration for default wiki syntax, I'm not aware how.
If you haven't touched the default config then all new pages are created in XWiki Syntax 2.0 by default, which is fine and matches the FAQ tutorial expectations.
In
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial#HCreatetheFAQC...
, there's a step where you'll see: #set($defaultSpace = 'Main')
As described, replace "Main" with the space where you want the docs to be created, for ex: "FAQ".

One thing to note: this task manager app is not written nor supported by the XWiki dev team. It's been contributed by individuals and is supported by them or any contributor who wants to help. The quality of the code you find on code.xwiki.org varies a lot. All we can guarantee here is the code that is developed by the XWiki dev team.
In general if apps on code.xwiki.org break it's because they haven't been updated at the same rate as the XWiki platform and in general it's really not much to make them work (a few minutes of work).
The FAQ tutorial works well AFAIK. IMO you've probably forgotten some steps (in one step you must edit the default template to set in which space new FAQ documents are created - not that it matters, it'll work wherever they are created) or have set up some different configuration for the default wiki syntax for new pages.

Hi Mark, glad to know that "fixed" your issue. Sergiu & al: since we changed the creation form to remove the need for JS for the form to work we didn't add a new way to filter invalid characters prior to creating the URL called to create the new document. I added some "cleaning" code to do this for the FAQ example but it would be much better if we had a standard velocity method to perform that cleaning prior to page creation. Is there anything we could use to do that? Guillaume On 11/16/09, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote:
Hi Guillaume,
You got it! Plain old alphanumeric goes into the FAQ space, anything else goes to Main.
Every !@#$! entry I created I used a hyphen or a comma or something not strictly alphanumeric somewhere in the entry. Silly me!

Hi Mark,
I've tested your XAR on my machine on a fresh XE 2.0 instance and... it works perfectly well.
I think the problem comes from the text you're inputting in the input under "Add a new question" on FAQ.WebHome. I see the first question you created is named "FAQ.First+question%2C+entered+as+Admin/" -> can you try entering an new question that is simply called "test" (no special characters) and see what happens when you do that?
In my case it created http://localhost:9080/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/test which is the expected behavior.
I suspect the characters you entered in the input triggered the creation in the wrong location. If that's so, we'll update the FAQ application example to include better name cleaning prior to document creation.

Hi Vincent,
That's a very generous offer and well appreciated.
At the moment I don't have a url to point you to, but I'll find something.
I assume 'Export as XAR' from the xwiki Main page is sufficient?
Go to the Admin page, then click export. That'll export the whole wiki but it doesn't matter (unless you want to hide stuff, in which case you could just export the 4 pages: FAQClass, FAQTemplate, FAQSheet and FAQ.WebHome by navigating to each page and choosing export as XAR in the top menu).
Of course if your wiki has a public URL it's even easier (but it's probably not the case).
Thanks -Vincent
The resulting xar doesn't seem to have enough content to be of use. I'm guessing that's because I'm using an external db (MySql). If I'm right about that, then I can reinstall the standalone xwiki using the default hsqldb, rebuild the faq and try again.
Or perhaps I should export from the FAQ space itself?

Hi Mark,
glad to know that "fixed" your issue.
Sergiu & al: since we changed the creation form to remove the need for JS for the form to work we didn't add a new way to filter invalid characters prior to creating the URL called to create the new document. I added some "cleaning" code to do this for the FAQ example but it would be much better if we had a standard velocity method to perform that cleaning prior to page creation.
Is there anything we could use to do that?
I've been using util.clearName(name). Is that right? -Joshua

Hi Mark,
I've tested your XAR on my machine on a fresh XE 2.0 instance and... it works perfectly well.
I think the problem comes from the text you're inputting in the input under "Add a new question" on FAQ.WebHome. I see the first question you created is named "FAQ.First+question%2C+entered+as+Admin/" -> can you try entering an new question that is simply called "test" (no special characters) and see what happens when you do that?
In my case it created http://localhost:9080/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/test which is the expected behavior.
I suspect the characters you entered in the input triggered the creation in the wrong location. If that's so, we'll update the FAQ application example to include better name cleaning prior to document creation.

This url should get you to a gui where you select the file to dl: http://www.esnips.com/web/MarkMarzialepublicfolder
There's only 1 file in this folder, named 'myxwiki_export.xar'. Should stick out like a sore thumb.

Hi Vincent,
That's a very generous offer and well appreciated.
At the moment I don't have a url to point you to, but I'll find something.
I assume 'Export as XAR' from the xwiki Main page is sufficient?
Go to the Admin page, then click export. That'll export the whole wiki but it doesn't matter (unless you want to hide stuff, in which case you could just export the 4 pages: FAQClass, FAQTemplate, FAQSheet and FAQ.WebHome by navigating to each page and choosing export as XAR in the top menu).
Of course if your wiki has a public URL it's even easier (but it's probably not the case).
Thanks -Vincent
The resulting xar doesn't seem to have enough content to be of use. I'm guessing that's because I'm using an external db (MySql). If I'm right about that, then I can reinstall the standalone xwiki using the default hsqldb, rebuild the faq and try again.
Or perhaps I should export from the FAQ space itself?
Thanks, Mark

Hi Vincent,
Thanks yet again.
Sadly I'm still creating FAQ entries in the Main space, not the FAQ space.
I'm going to need a little time to cry it all out before I try again. I'd pull my hair out but there's not enough to get a hold on.
If you can export your wiki as a XAR and make it available somewhere at a URL, we could try it out and see what's wrong.
Thanks -Vincent

Hi Vincent,
One point I want to check out with you. The part of the
tutorial
under the heading 'Create a homepage for your application' is a little unclear to me. I was told the FAQ was written during an earlier version of xwiki when a Space was called a Web.
This was true in the past but the FAQ tutorial and the XWiki Class Wizard were rewritten in XWiki Enterprise 2.0 so it's no longer true.
In latter attempts to follow the tutorial I've interpreted 'Go to the "FAQ.WebHome" page' as: Go to the Wiki Dashboard (in my setup http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/Main/)
This is not correct. FAQ.WebHome is well... FAQ/WebHome (or FAQ/ for short).
click on the unresolved link in the FAQ space edit the resulting page at http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/
Yes this will create the FAQ.WebHome page.
I've been told the url http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/ is equivalent to http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/WebHome/ but I'm a little shaky on that point.
Yes it's the same. Forget FAQ/, this is just a shortcut. Always use the fully-qualified name and you'll be fine.
Since the code on this page actually creates the new FAQ entries, and FAQ entries are definitely being created (though not in the FAQ space), I've been thinking this confusion isn't critical to creating entries in the right space. Is that wrong?
It's not critical at all. In the tutorial it just asks you to create the FAQ.WebHome page. I've (hopefully) clarified this on the FAQ tutorial page.
So is all working for you now?
Thanks -Vincent

For completeness, here's the FAQSheet code: {{velocity}} ## You can modify this page to customize the presentation of your object. ## At first you should keep the default presentation and just save the document. = Document $doc.name =
#set($class = $doc.getObject('FAQ.FAQClass').xWikiClass)
#foreach($prop in $class.properties) ; $prop.prettyName : $doc.display($prop.getName()) #end {{/velocity}}

Ok I hadn't checked the code you sent. It looks ok. I don't see the FAQSheet code though.
Anyway let us know how your 3rd try goes.

Hi Mark,
glad to know that "fixed" your issue.
Sergiu & al: since we changed the creation form to remove the need for JS for the form to work we didn't add a new way to filter invalid characters prior to creating the URL called to create the new document. I added some "cleaning" code to do this for the FAQ example but it would be much better if we had a standard velocity method to perform that cleaning prior to page creation.
Is there anything we could use to do that?
I've been using util.clearName(name). Is that right?
Looks like it is. Thanks for the pointer! I updated the code on http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial to use it. It's much better than what I had put before! Mark, try using the following code on FAQ.WebHome : #if("$!request.docName" != '') ## Request for creating a new instance #set($docName = $util.clearName(${request.docName})) #set($targetDocName = "${request.spaceName}.${docName}") #if(!$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 and tell us whether it fixes your issue (it should prevent you from creating incorrectly named documents).

Hi Guillaume,
You got it! Plain old alphanumeric goes into the FAQ space, anything else goes to Main.
Every !@#$! entry I created I used a hyphen or a comma or something not strictly alphanumeric somewhere in the entry. Silly me!

Hi Mark,
I've tested your XAR on my machine on a fresh XE 2.0 instance and... it works perfectly well.
I think the problem comes from the text you're inputting in the input under "Add a new question" on FAQ.WebHome. I see the first question you created is named "FAQ.First+question%2C+entered+as+Admin/" -> can you try entering an new question that is simply called "test" (no special characters) and see what happens when you do that?
In my case it created http://localhost:9080/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/test which is the expected behavior.
I suspect the characters you entered in the input triggered the creation in the wrong location. If that's so, we'll update the FAQ application example to include better name cleaning prior to document creation.

Hi Vincent et al,
Thanks again for the help, very much appreciated.
This url should get you to a gui where you select the file to dl: http://www.esnips.com/web/MarkMarzialepublicfolder
There's only 1 file in this folder, named 'myxwiki_export.xar'. Should stick out like a sore thumb.
Let me know if you have any trouble.

Hi Vincent,
That's a very generous offer and well appreciated.
At the moment I don't have a url to point you to, but I'll find something.
I assume 'Export as XAR' from the xwiki Main page is sufficient?
Go to the Admin page, then click export. That'll export the whole wiki but it doesn't matter (unless you want to hide stuff, in which case you could just export the 4 pages: FAQClass, FAQTemplate, FAQSheet and FAQ.WebHome by navigating to each page and choosing export as XAR in the top menu).
Of course if your wiki has a public URL it's even easier (but it's probably not the case).
Thanks -Vincent
The resulting xar doesn't seem to have enough content to be of use. I'm guessing that's because I'm using an external db (MySql). If I'm right about that, then I can reinstall the standalone xwiki using the default hsqldb, rebuild the faq and try again.
Or perhaps I should export from the FAQ space itself?
Thanks, Mark

Hi Vincent,
Thanks yet again.
Sadly I'm still creating FAQ entries in the Main space, not the FAQ space.
I'm going to need a little time to cry it all out before I try again. I'd pull my hair out but there's not enough to get a hold on.
If you can export your wiki as a XAR and make it available somewhere at a URL, we could try it out and see what's wrong.
Thanks -Vincent

This was true in the past but the FAQ tutorial and the XWiki Class Wizard were rewritten in XWiki Enterprise 2.0 so it's no longer true.

This is not correct. FAQ.WebHome is well... FAQ/WebHome (or FAQ/ for short).

Yes this will create the FAQ.WebHome page.

Yes it's the same. Forget FAQ/, this is just a shortcut. Always use the fully-qualified name and you'll be fine.

It's not critical at all. In the tutorial it just asks you to create the FAQ.WebHome page. I've (hopefully) clarified this on the FAQ tutorial page.
So is all working for you now?
