[xwiki-users] When adding a new page, can a standard template be used?
We would like some pages to have the same look and feel and for users to be able to add a page with a standard "look" to it. Can that be done? I couldn't find any documentation on it. S.H.
Hi Sheila, When you are talkign about pages look and feel, what exactly do you mean? If you are talking about the general view of the wiki, you will have to look into the Skin configuration. If you are talking about creating new pages that are supposed to follow a predefined template (such as a blog article template that would typically include the article's title, publication date, author name and so on) then you can definitely do it and create as many page templates as you want to using XWiki. So the short answer is that creating pages with a standard look can be done easily. I would be glad to answer you in greater length but i would be easier if I had a better descrpition of what you have in mind. Guillaume On 24/09/2007, Sheila Hobeck <[email protected]> wrote:

Yes it can be done. We don't have any good documentation on that unfortunately. You could start by reading the FAQ tutorial though: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial Then here's an example of creating a page using a form and using a template (this is from the FAQ page on xwiki.org): http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/?viewer=code& <form action="" id="newfaq"> <input type="hidden" name="parent" value="FAQ.WebHome" /> <input type="hidden" name="template" value="XWiki.FAQClassTemplate" /> <input type="hidden" name="sheet" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="webname" value="FAQ"/> <input type="hidden" name="name" value=""/> <table> <tr> <td> <input type="text" name="faq" value="" size="30"/> </td> <td> <input type="submit" value="Add this FAQ" onclick='if (updateName(this.form.faq,this.form.name)) { action="../../inline/" + this.form.webname.value + "/" + this.form.name.value; this.form.submit (); }' /> </td> </tr> </table> </form> When you got it to work, would be nice if you could contribute a short tutorial on it :) Hope it helps, -Vincent
I just upgraded to xwiki 1.1 final from 1.1 M2 and now I am getting a script error when I try to edit any page. I get an error that reads (text from IE6 on XP): Line: 242 Char: 9 Error: wikiEditor¹ is undefined Code: 0 URL: http://<mysite>/xwiki/bin/edit/Main/WebHome?&editor=wysiwyg I can reproduce the error in Firefox 2 and Safari 3 but IE is the important one as that is the browser our end users must use. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jacob Bresciani A\Service Manager, Information Systems Support Procurement and Supply Services Phone: (250) 356-7115 Fax: (250) 387-0388 E-mail: [email protected] Visit us online at: http://www.pss.gov.bc.ca/ Committed to our customers ... always working for you!
Hi Guillaume, Sorry I was not more detailed. I am referring to the predefined template - like a blog article. We will likely have areas of our blog for things such as meeting minutes, and we would like to use our standard format to post these. How do I go about creating those?

Hi, to do this you should probably first spend some time on this tutorial: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial to find out more about creating XWiki classes. Then you will need to tweak the class page to add the objects you need (such as "meeting leader", "date", "content", "summary" -> the categories defined on your meeting minutes form). The next step will be to modify the ClassSheet to display your elements the way you want them to be seen by users (using CSS). Say, a table to display participants names, the meeting title in bold and so on... The last step will be to add an input button on a page in order to let people create new pages of that class easily. All this may sound a bit complex and you'll probably need to dig a bit into XWiki.org... Though having done it myself I can assure you it will be worth it :-) Guillaume On 24/09/2007, Sheila Hobeck <[email protected]> wrote:

Thanks Guillaume, I will give the FAQ tutorial a try today and see how that goes. Thanks again for your help. XWiki is looking better all the time! On 9/25/07, Guillaume Lerouge <[email protected]> wrote:

Ok, I followed the tutorial for creating an FAQ. I setup the class, the template and the sheet as directed. I added properties to the template - but these do not show up when I create a new document, any ideas? On 9/25/07, Sheila Hobeck <[email protected]> wrote:

Ok, so I figured it out. The tutorial should be updated for the latest release. It doesn't describe the process to associate the object very well. Anyhow, thanks just the same. On 9/26/07, Sergiu Dumitriu <[email protected]> wrote:
