that's what I was thinking but I continue to get an error when I create a ClassSheet (it will not allow me to). I keep getting an error every time. a 4.26 while parsing velocity error. Do you have any information or installation errors I might have? Are certain velocity or java files/programs necessary that are not in the documentation?

Hi all, I just did something like this recently and think I can explain it briefly. It's a bit of work and I get some errors I do not understand, but it works. Here's how I did it: 1. Make a complete export of the Wiki in the admin backend. 2. Extract the XAR you have. 3. Edit package.xml : remove all lines NOT referring to the Blog space. 4. Delete all folders except the Blog one. 5. Decide the spacenaam you would like to give it: I chose Blogboek (let's call it that for the rest of this explanation). 6. Change the foldername to Blogboek. 7. Change all references to Blog in Blogboek. I did that by running a script on the commandline (using Linux) that replaces .Blog by .Blogboek. 8. You should now have the package.xml containing the subscription of the files in the Blogboek folder. Note that this also contains all the Blog-posts that were in the Blog space. 9. To get the categories displayed properly, change line 113 in CategoriesPanel.xml: #getCategoriesHierarchy('Blogboek' $tree) 10. When ready, put everything in a zip and rename it to XAR. MAke sure the folder and file are in the root of the zip, not in a folder (chack by view it). 11. Now you can import the XAR in the Xwiki admin backend. The only error I encounteres was a list of files named Blog.xxx.xxx that were not imported. It seems somehow there is metadata that knows the files came from the Blog space. The other files (Blogboek.xxx.xxx) are imported correctly, so the result was what I wanted: a seperate space with the complete Blog functionality, seperate from the Xwiki core. Note that Blog is in development and there are irritating bugs in the editor. http://n2.nabble.com/Blog-2-0-Upgrade-and-WYSIWYG-td3266917.html#a3266917 http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XABLOG-63 I really hope a syntax 2 version will be in a coming Xwiki release using the new editor.

Thank you all for your help, hope this is usefull! vmassol wrote: > > Since this is such a frequently asked question it would be nice if > someone could: > > 1) document it on xwiki.org, either: > - in the FAQ > - as a code snippet on http://dev.xwiki.org > > or even better: > > 2) create an application (XAR) that does this and upload it on > http://code.xwiki.org > > Anyone up for this? :) > > Thanks > -Vincent > > On Jan 8, 2008, at 8:55 PM, Campbell, Timothy D wrote: > >> that's what I was thinking but I continue to get an error when I >> create a ClassSheet (it will not allow me to).

Maybe this should be renamed to "Blog" and have 2 sections in there: - one for managing categories - one for creating/managing blogs

Hi Sergiu, The form was not exactly matching our needs, because it leaves the categories in the Blog space, while the document are in another (as far I could see).

We have a seperate space for all our documents, because we prefer to not be forced to update standard components that we use. Since Blog is in the XWiki core now, an update of the core might change our functionality, which we would like to keep in our own hands. I am lloking forward to the Blog being included as a seperate space, especially because there are many changes in it related to the XWiki 2 syntaxis. Thank you for your quick reply, I hope my answer is usefull.

hi Vincent, Thank you for your response. I have a full agenda these days, but I will try to evaluate 2.1RC1.

We will probably upgrade from 1.9.3 to 2.1 release anyway when it comes out, but I am waiting for servers to be made ready to do a new install and off course we will report issues on that. Thank you (and your collegues) for all your work! Given there are some issues with XWiki, we do really like the product and the way it is built!

hi Vincent, I am really happy with the new editor, I can use backslashes again now :) \. We also made a few modifications to the Blog, which makes it possible to post when in a category. A wannahave would be to be able to do this and have the current category marked in the publish screen by default :). Thanks a lot!
