Hi, We have pages having ONE UIExtension objects of XWiki.UIExtensionClass. Using as $services.uix.getExtensions('dashboard.mainMenu.items',{'sortByParameter' : 'displayorder'}) With a #foreach loop we can access all the parameters. (and other extension properties) But is it possible to get the page information (Name, Title, Creator, Rights) The use case is that we want a dynamic menu based on that information? The following did not give the desired result: #set($dashboardMenuItems = $services.uix.getExtensions('dashboard.mainMenu.items',{'sortByParameter' : 'displayorder'}) ) #foreach($dashboardMenuItem in $dashboardMenuItems) #set($dashboardMenuItemDocument = $xwiki.getDocument($dashboardMenuItem)) #end

When providing a new Extension Point the developer must document * the list of parameters he requires. * * @return a map of parameters provided by the extension */ Map getParameters(); /** * @return the {@link Block} that must be rendered when this extension is displayed */ Block execute(); } So as you can see there’s no way to return anything else here. However, when you define your UIX you can pass any number of parameters (which are retrieved through calling getParameters() on UIExtension). So you could have params like: name = $doc.documentReference (or $doc.fullName) title = $doc.title creator = $doc.creatorReference hasAdmin = $services.authorization.checkAccess(‘ADMIN’, $doc.authorReference) ... Hope it helps, -Vincent

FWIW and FYI the code is here: https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/4533b98fb45a9010198582a7053bc6… My suggested work-around would be to use the ExtensionID; and with that ID perform a XWQL query on object of UIExetensionClass where ExtensionID = :ExtensionID(from the uiExtension) Off course this would require Unique ExtensionID's but that would anyway be a good-practice?
