Re: [xwiki-users] How to avoid nested space? - xwiki-users@xwiki.org

Hi,

The default dashboard is located in Dashboard.WebHome. When you upgraded you should have
had the Distribution Wizard upgrade that page. Was that the case? Could you check the
history for that page?

Now two things could have happened:

1) you overwrote the changes brought by the Distribution Wizard by importing old versions
of pages from your previous wiki. If you’ve done that then you’ve most likely broken the
upgrade process since you’ve removed all the upgrades that were required to all default
wiki pages! :) See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Upgrade for the
canonical way of upgrading an XWiki instance. If you’ve done that I suggest that you redo
the upgrade.

2) you have modified Dashboard.WebHome. If this is the case then you’ll need to update
your version to use the {{documentTree}} macro instead of the spaces macro.

As I’ve mentioned already in my reply the notion of Spaces have been removed from the UI
(I’ve linked you to some page with the explanation, have you been able to read that page?
was it clear? should we improve things there with more explanations?).

Thanks
Hope it helps,
-Vincent

I belived that I have use the space widget version 7.3.
I created a new Xwiki-7.3, and then import the old spaces one by one, excluding
'Main', 'XWiki' and all spaces coming with Xwiki default pages.

I just want to get a simple space list.

  How to avoid nested space?

 Since the new nested space feature, a lot of nested space such as "XXX.YYY"
appears in the "Space List" in my home page.
 If I want to create a sub page, a new nested space created silently. It becomes more and
more, and bothers our users.

 I want keep the original simple one level space and documents tree model instead of the
new nested space model. How can I get it? 
The issue is that you haven’t upgraded your home page (the dashboard I presume). We have
replaced the Space widget with a Documents widget. Normally, when you have upgrade you
should have had the Distribution Wizard kicking in and updating the default wiki pages.
Please let us know what you’ve done when the Distribution Wizard has executed.

The notion of Spaces has been removed starting with XWiki 7.2+

Please see http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/ContentOrganization

The introduction of Nested Spaces is a large change and we wish to make it as seamless as
possible to our users. Please let us know any issue you see and we’ll try to help you and
see if we can improve things by default so that other users have less problems upgrading.

Thanks for your help and patience.
