[xwiki-users] Strange behaviour when creating new pages => new spaces are created instead (xwiki 7.2)
Hello, I'm running a fresh 7.2 XWiki install (RHEL 7, tomcat 7, postgreSQL 9.1) and I'm experiencing strange behaviour when I try to create new pages in a given space. If I use the big "+" sign on the top of the page in the space I want, the result is always the same : a new space is created instead of a new page. This is not a "parenting" problem, the space in question is indeed child of the parent space. I can try to change the location of the page in the "Location in the page hierarchy where this new page will be created." menu But it doesn't appear in the page list of the space, and it appears in the list of all the spaces. The template doesn't seem to be the problem (Page Type). I can use a page template or a blank page (default choice) in the page type. The only workaround that I found is to create a new page through the space WYSIWIG editor. I edit the home page of the space, then in the WYSIWIG editor I click on "Link" and then "XWiki Page". This way a link to a new unknown page is created in the space, and then and only then can I create a page inside the space. This doesn't seem normal. Can someone give me some insights on what might cause this ? Regards, Denis GERMAIN
Hello Denis. "This is not a bug, it's a feature" ;) In XWiki 7.2, we have introduced the concept of "Nested Pages". Actually, every time you create a page, you actually create a page called "WebHome" in a new space. From the UI perspective, it acts as if we don't have the "space" notion anymore, but only a hierarchy of pages. I invite you to read: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki72#HNested... I hope it helps. Thanks, 2015-11-19 12:08 GMT+01:00 <[email protected]>:

I see. This is what happens when you "forget" to read release notes. Though you'll notice I carefully avoided the word "bug", in case this was normal and I was mistaken ;-) I guess will have to find out if we can change our way of organising information because the spaces being irrelevant is a BIG change. Especially we used the widget that listed all the pages of a given space. This was massively used by the differents teams to find quickly their own information in their own space. Now I don't know how to do that. Thanks and sorry for the inconveniance.

Nested Spaces are a big change indeed. However what you said is not fully correct. Spaces are not irrelevant: it’s actually the opposite, they’re used more :) But yes from a UI POV we’re now hiding them in the default XE UI. Also we’ve preserved backward-compatibility so you can still create terminal pages. The big change for you is to decide when you wish to use nested pages for your content. Also note the ability to keep the previous parent field when editing pages as an interim migration solution. Since this is very new for us too we’re interested to learn more about usages and migration so if you see some issues and would like to provide feedback we’re very interested in that! :) Thanks -Vincent Especially we used the widget that listed all the pages of a given space.
