Hi Kito!, Nice to see you here :) On Jun 13, 2007, at 4:03 AM, Kito D. Mann wrote: Have you already succeeded in running xwiki inside Exo? The integration of XWiki as a portlet in Exo isn't perfect yet and there are a few things to fix AFAIR regarding the albatross skin. We can work together to make that work if you really need that integration. The other possible integration is calling Exo services from within XWiki. This works very well and I've demoed that already. Which means you could do things like trigger an exo workflow, call the exo JCR API, etc. You can do this by creating groups and allowing edition of docs by Authors/Editors. Same as above. If the author has the edit permission he'll be able to write the content. Here what you could do easily is create a Status "class" within xwiki and you'd create a template for articles and a Status object would be attached by default to the newly created Article document. When you create the Status class you can have a single field named "status" which is a list of values representing the status of the document: created, written, edited, reviewed, published. Then it'll be up to the various individuals to edit the objects on the article page and set the status to the valid one. Of course you could very easily develop a little UI for it too (really simple). For example you could write a Panel that contains a combo box with the statuses inside and when clicked it'll change the article's Status object accordingly. Le me know if you need more directions for doing this. You should read the FAQ application tutorial on xwiki.org in the dev guide to understand what Objects, Classes and Templates mean. Then feel free to ask more specific questions here and I'll help you. Above you said that authors were writing the document but now you say they can only view them. Do you mean that the author rights has to vary during the workflow? If so, that's possible too but you'll need to add velocity/groovy code to the Panel for example so that when the status is changed the permissions are changed too for that document. The document's permissions will override the space or wiki level permissions for that document so that'd work nicely too. This is where there's the more work I believe. It really depends if you're using the WebOS of Exo or the older interface. I think it should work fine with the old interface but with webOS there might be some tweakings of xwiki required. You may want to try it and see how it goes. Thanks -Vincent
