What you have in your example cannot work, you have to understand how Velocity macro work: it executes the Velocity in the macro content and then the result is parsed and executed as wiki syntax, Velocity engine does not have any idea what {{context}} mean, its just plain text for it and will end up in the result of Velocity execution as it is. To make the context macro work in your use case you should cut your Velocity macro in pieces, something like: {{velocity}} #panelheader('Product Wikis') {{/velocity}} [[Company Main>>url:http://172.30.29.50:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/]] {{context document="wiki1:Main.WebHome"}}{{velocity}}#if ($hasEdit)[[Wiki1>>wiki1:Main.WebHome]]#end{{/velocity}}{{/context}} {{context document="wiki2:Main.WebHome"}}{{velocity}}#if ($hasEdit)[[Wiki2>>wiki2:Main.WebHome]]#end{{/velocity}}{{/context}} {{context document="wiki3:Main.WebHome"}}{{velocity}}#if ($hasEdit)[[Wiki3>>wiki3:Main.WebHome]]#end{{/velocity}}{{/context}} {{velocity}} #panelfooter() {{/velocity}} But unless you use case if more complex than testing $hasEdit you should use right service API instead of switching the context like that, see http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Security+Module#HScrip….

It doesn't even work if I do something as simple as: {{context document="OtherSpace.WebHome"}} [[WebHome]] {{/context}} or with an image. The image is broken when this is entered in, for example, Main.Context Test: {{context document="Sandbox.WebHome"}} image:XWikiLogo.png {{/context}} -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Context-Macro-Broken-tp7593647p7593660.ht… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Hm. If ($hasEdit) can't be recontextualized I guess I'll have to expand my options. Thanks for the link. BTW, the problem I had with opening and closing the velocity macro is that, in a panel, closing the velocity macro signals the end of the panel to the CSS.

The entire contents of the panel appear in the sidebar but only the header is enclosed in the box. The rest of the panels contexts float in whitespace between the Product Wikis panel box and the next panel's box. So, functional but ugly. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Context-Macro-Broken-tp7593647p7593662.ht… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
