Xwiki is Emacs for the Web. All it's missing is Clojure via JSR223 to get the Lisp extension language... This is being discussed over on the dev list right now: http://www.mail-archive.com/devs@xwiki.org/msg11295.html http://osdir.com/ml/web.wiki.xwiki.user/2008-02/msg00135.html [...] define the option lists is by using the fields: XWiki Class Name, Id Field Name, Value Field Name and Parent Field Name. Using those fields, the XWiki platform<http://osdir.com/ml/web.wiki.xwiki.user/2008-02/msg00135.html#&… constructs the following hql queries: select idprop.value, valueprop.value, parentprop.value from XWikiDocument doc, BaseObject obj, StringProperty idprop, StringProperty valueprop, StringProperty parentprop.value where obj.name = doc.name and obj.className = "value entered in Class name" and idprop.id.id = obj.id and idprop.id.name = "value entered in Id Field Name" and valueprop.id.id = obj.id and valueprop.id.name = "value entered in Value Field Name" and parentprop.id.id = obj.id and parentprop.id.name = "value entered in Parent Field Name" So, it selects from objects of a given type (XWiki Class) 3 properties (of storage type String, read bellow what this means). As a special case, you can use "doc.<some doc property>" or "obj.<some object property>" instead of property names, and the query is adapted accordingly. In the case of DBList, only 2 columns are selected, as the Parent property is not used/defined. String storage type means: - either a property of type String - or a property of type StaticList, DBList or DBTreeList with multipleSelect = false If you want to use the DBTreeList, you must model your data so that they will allow these kind of queries. I'm going to let someone else answer what's recommended. This is one way: http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Modules/PropertiesModule Check the "multiple select" option for List, DatabaseList or DatabaseTreeList? in the class editor (see /xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiClasses and http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/DatabaseListProperties ) Although not the Xwiki-officially-blessed technique, I like to use Exhibit for this purpose: http://simile-widgets.org/exhibit/ http://people.csail.mit.edu/dfhuynh/research/papers/www2007-exhibit.pdf Some examples of my own using Xwiki: http://nielsmayer.com/trainspodder-prototype.jpg (coming to the internets real soon now) http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Exhibit/NPRpods3 (work in progress/old code) http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Exhibit/Presidents4 (demo of Xwiki integration) http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/download/Exhibit/Presidents4/Presidents4Pkg… including Exhibit&jQuery "Macros") -- Niels http://nielsmayer.com
