Re: [xwiki-users] When adding a new page, can a standard template be used? - xwiki-users@xwiki.org

26 Sep 2007

Hi all,

Anyone know the answers:
* Does anyone know how to update the text on the login page with say an
email link for people to request an account, etc?
* Redirect the user to a certain initial page when they login?
If anyone has any answer I can paste them to the FAQ section of the XWiki
website.

Regards,

Richard

Ok, so I figured it out.  The tutorial should be updated for the latest
release.  It doesn't describe the process to associate the object very well.
Anyhow, thanks just the same.

  Ok, I followed the tutorial for creating an FAQ.  I
setup the class, the 
 template and the sheet as directed. I added properties to the template - but

  these do not show up when I create a new document, any
ideas?

 time!

Say, a table to

  users to be able to add a page with a standard
"look" to it.  Can that be 
 done?  I couldn't find any documentation on it.
