[xwiki-users] Categories in Enterpriste Wiki? Second Attempt
Hello, a while ago I sent the following question to this mailing list: "categories are part of XWiki Workspaces. However, I cannot find this feature in XWiki Enterprise (neither in the software itself nor the documentation). In general, I consider categories a useful extension to spaces and tags and, thus, would like to have them at my disposal. Is there a way to include categories into XWiki Enterprise?" I would appreciate some feedback. In January, we will begin two pilots using XWiki and it would be helpful to know how to include categories. I expect that there is a way to do it (this feature is available in Workspaces after all). Kind regards, Gerhard Festo AG & Co.

I think right now you can only use tags to achieve that. There used to be a way to turn tags into categories but I'm not sure that with the latest version of XWiki Enterprise you can still do that out of the box since tags have a new UI. I would appreciate some feedback. In January, we will begin two pilots using
XWiki and it would be helpful to know how to include categories. I expect that there is a way to do it (this feature is available in Workspaces after all).
I'm glad to hear that. Have you considered using XWiki Enterprise Manager to manage both wikis from a central place? Well, if you're willing to dive a bit into the code, creating a panel that would allow users to categorize a page using the tag objects for storage & removing the current tags interface would take less than a day for an experienced XWiki dev, a bit more if you're not familiar with XWiki development yet. It's not that hard to do. Hope this helps, Guillaume
Kind regards, Gerhard

Hello, I haven't taken a look at XWiki Enterprise Manager. Now I will. Thanks a lot for the hint. It's good to know that adding categories is possible. Some of my colleagues long for an opportunity to gain some experience in XWiki development :-) Kind regards, Gerhard -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Guillaume Lerouge Sent: Wednesday, December 02, 2009 12:12 PM To: XWiki Users Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Categories in Enterpriste Wiki?
