Hi Aaron, Indeed, we're in a transition period with XWiki Enterprise 1.9 in that the default syntax is now the 2.0 syntax by default but the applications are still in 1.0 syntax. Thus the Class wizard currently generates 1.0 syntax. As Jean said, when a new page is created just make sure to select XWiki 1.0 syntax in the edit panel on the right. You could also change the xwiki config file so that new pages are created in 1.0 syntax but in general we recommend users to try using the new syntax since it's generally better and allows you to get the new wysiwyg editor amongst other things. I've just started converting the class wizard before Jazoon but didn't get the time to finish it hence the reason I did my demo in 1.0 syntax ;) FYI I'll probably be done in a few days, in time for the 1.9.1 release next week. Thanks -Vincent On Jun 24, 2009, at 9:42 PM, Aaron Digulla wrote:

Hi,

After Vincent made my mouth water today at the Jazoon, I wanted to try XWiki but I could get the FAQTutorial to work with the 1.9 release (xwiki-enterprise-installer-generic-1.9-standard.jar). Specifically:

After I enter the two strings "FAQs" and "FAQ" in the text fields, I get this text in the editor:

## replace Main with the Space where you want your documents to be created ## replace the default parent with the one of your choice ## Save this template using the 'Save' button #set( $class = $doc.name.substring(0,$doc.name.indexOf("Class"))) #set($defaultparent = "XWiki.${class}Class") #set($defaultweb = "Main") #includeForm("XWiki.ClassSheet")

This looks good. After save&view, I see this:

replace Main with the Space where you want your documents to be created replace the default parent with the one of your choice Save this template using the 'Save' button #set( $class = $doc.name.substring(0,$doc.name.indexOf("Class"

#set($defaultparent = "XWiki.${class}Class") #set($defaultweb = "Main") #includeForm("XWiki.ClassSheet")

Note how the formatting is completely broken and that some ")" are missing. When I open the page for editing, I see this:

## replace Main with the Space where you want your documents to be created ## replace the default parent with the one of your choice ## Save this template using the 'Save' button #set( $class = $doc.name.substring(0,$doc.name.indexOf("Class"##

#set($defaultparent = "XWiki.${class}Class") #set($defaultweb = "Main") #includeForm("XWiki.ClassSheet")

As you can see, there is suddenly an empty line, the ")))" have been replaced with "##" and the whole thing doesn't work. When I get rid of the Comments near the start and just leave this code:

#set( $class = $doc.name.substring(0,$doc.name.indexOf("Class"))) #set($defaultparent = "XWiki.${class}Class") #set($defaultweb = "Main") #includeForm("XWiki.ClassSheet")

that gets mangles as well:

#set( $class = $doc.name.substring(0,$doc.name.indexOf("Class"

#set($defaultparent = "XWiki.${class}Class") #set($defaultweb = "Main") #includeForm("XWiki.ClassSheet")

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Oh, and when starting XWiki for the first time, I get this exception:

Yikes! Please update the tutorial right now to make this fact *very* prominent!

Okay, I got past the creation of the class but now it fails in "Create Document Sheet" with: content: No renderer found for target syntax [XWiki 1.0] I also get errors when I switch between the WYSIWYG and the source view: Caused by: com.google.gwt.user.server.rpc.UnexpectedException: Service method 'public abstract java.lang.String com.xpn.xwiki.wysiwyg.client.WysiwygService.fromHTML(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)' threw an unexpected exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: No renderer found for target syntax [XWiki 1.0] at com.google.gwt.user.server.rpc.RPC.encodeResponseForFailure(RPC.java:360) at com.google.gwt.user.server.rpc.RPC.invokeAndEncodeResponse(RPC.java:546) at com.google.gwt.user.server.rpc.RemoteServiceServlet.processCall(RemoteServiceServlet.java:164) at com.xpn.xwiki.gwt.api.server.XWikiServiceImpl.processCall(XWikiServiceImpl.java:85) ... 29 more Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: No renderer found for target syntax [XWiki 1.0] at org.xwiki.rendering.internal.renderer.DefaultPrintRendererFactory.createRenderer(DefaultPrintRendererFactory.java:85) at com.xpn.xwiki.wysiwyg.server.converter.internal.DefaultHTMLConverter.fromHTML(DefaultHTMLConverter.java:69) at com.xpn.xwiki.wysiwyg.server.DefaultWysiwygService.fromHTML(DefaultWysiwygService.java:146) Frankly, is there a vesion where the tutorial works?

Yes, older versions, in fact there was a change of syntax between versions 1.8 and 1.9 (Vincent, correct me if I am wrong). I use that on xwiki 1.5 everyday. I did not try the last versions yet, but i reckon that if you change your config to xwiki 1.0 for default syntax like Vincent told you, it should work on 1.9 or 2.0 Best regards, Jean. -- ---- Jean Couteau Code Lutin - http://www.codelutin.com 44 Bd des Pas Enchantés - 44230 St-Sébastien/Loire Tél : 02 40 50 29 28 - Fax : 09 59 92 29 28

yes exactly. That's what I did at jazoon for my demo (i.e set the default syntax to be 1.0).

To change to syntax 1.0 for newly created pages see the instructions here: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Configuration#HConfiguri...

Okay, that's what I was missing. Now the *ClassSheet can be edited but I get an empty page (well, except for the header). I tried this: #set($obj = $doc.getObject("XWiki.CharacterClass")) obj=${obj} #set($class = $doc.getObject("XWiki.CharacterClass").xWikiClass) class=${class} which gives me obj=${obj} class=${class} in the output which probably means that it can't look up the class via getObject(). Any ideas what could be wrong, now? I'll also try with 1.5 ... okay, I don't have the problems with the editors in 1.5 but it also can't find the class. What's this "Web" variable supposed to do?

Are you sure you have an Object of type "XWiki.CharacterClass" added to your page?

I just clicked on the buttons in the order the tutorial and the text on the wiki pages told me. I'm not aware that I created an instance of the class, yet. What I'm sure is that the class got created (coz I can add properties to it) and I copied the name of the class with cut&paste from the "edit properties for class ...." page. How can I check that this object exists? How can I add one if it doesn't exist? Or rather: Can someone, who knows XWiki for more than five minutes (like me) spend an hour to follow the FAQ tutorial and make it work with XWiki 1.9? I mean that was *the* feature which Vincent proudly presented at the Jazoon and it's *completely* broken with the current *release*! Guys, please, this must not happen!

Give me 10 mins, I'm trying the tutorial now :)

Ok, I just tried the tutorial on 2.0-SNAPSHOT and it works ok except for the syntax change. You need to make sure the page syntax is set to xwiki/1.0. So, when you complete the tutorial there should be three wiki pages created: 1. One document for the Class definition (FAQs.FAQClass) 2. One document for the sheet (FAQs.FAQClassSheet) 3. One document for the template (FAQs.FAQClassTemplate) Questions for you: 1. Do you have all these three documents? 2. Are the syntax of all these documents set to xwiki/2.0 3. On the sheet & template, are you sure you have the correct wiki code? That is sheet document should be referring the correct class document (FAQs.FAQClass) and the template document should be referring the correnct sheet document (FAQs.FAQSheet). Thanks. - Asiri

Okay, I think I got it now: After creating the class and the sheet, the document you see is empty (the sheet). This is confusing since the class exists and it has properties, so why is XWiki not displaying them?

I don't understand what you mean. The sheet doesn't contain any class.

IMHO, it would be better to automatically create the sheet and template along with the class and attach an object of the class with the template right away. That would allow need a lot less clicks and edits and yield the same result.

This class wizards stuff is just a small application to help you creating classes. The notion of sheets and templates are also not core constructs. In lots of cases you don't even need them. It really depend what you're doing. If everything was hidden it would be nice and automagical but you wouldn't understand what you're doing. Still I agree that we would need to work on the class wizard application. It hasn't been touched for years and would greatly benefit from a big overhaul.

Also, this replacing of names must go. I already entered this information and XWiki should use it (instead of having me to reenter it three times).

Yes, I agree.

Lastly, adding another property should not throw away the edits I made to existing properties.

It doesn't for me. This is actually what I did in the demo at jazoon: I created several properties before click on save. Thanks -Vincent PS: Keep sending feedback and ideas (even though we're aware of most of them - what we really need are patches to progress ;)).

Hi Vincent, hi Zeljko,

I initially got the same results as Zeljko when I tried it. It took me three or four tries before I got it right. The trouble is that so many things are going on at once. I don't exactly remember how I solved it, but I remember that the problem I had was changing the places in the macros correctly to correspond with my needs. I would just encourage you, Zelko, to continue trying and you will get it.

Reading the concepts of Xwiki helped me, as well as just playing around with XWiki. If you mess things up you can in the history editor just roll back. After a while the parts begin to fit together. If you are familiar with Java's Class - Object paradigm, it will help too. Objects are just concrete examples of the classes you create along with their properties and methods. Xwiki seems to me to have this concept as well, with the added difficulty that the template pages are added to separate display from content. In IT circles this concept of separating those aspects of an application is called MVC for "Model-View-Controller". That's why so much is happening. Until I got that, Xwiki was a bit confusing for me too.

That's a bit abstract, I know, but I am convinced that checking into the deeper functioning of Xwiki is rewarding and will help when making new applications on top of the Xwiki engine. The FAQ I have is created on the page as shown in the tutorial, but to edit it after creation you need to go to the Object editor. Then you are with the concrete examples of the class you created.

Vincent, it might help us who are new at Xwiki to take a screenshot of the page where the FAQ macro is shown and color-hightlight the items to be changed. That would avoid some of the confusion I think. Just an idea...

Regards,

Steven Calkins
