Hi All, We upgraded our internal wiki from xwiki 1.6 to xwiki 1.9 recently and discovered that our old macro syntax doesn't work any longer because we have the default syntax set to 2.0. I had added some custom macros, one of which added links to documents stored in a particular location. This was connecting our svn document storage with the xwiki documentation and was simple enough for all my users to use. ## ## Insert a link to a document in the documentation repository ## Usage ## doclink( "repo_path_to_doc" "display_name") ## #macro(doclink $path $name) <a href="/docs_repo/$path">$name</a>#end My users didn't have to worry about how the repository was managed on my xwiki server or use html. Now I need to have them do this {{velocity}}{{html}}#doclink("repo_path_to_doc" "display_name){{/html}}{{/velocity}} Instead of #doclink( "repo_path_to_doc" "display_name") It may not seem like a big deal to a developer, but it is less user friendly. I want to continue with the new syntax, but I was wondering if this is going to be the permanent syntax for macros. Thanks, Regan

Regan Gill a écrit : You can insert the {{html}} element inside the macro to remove the need for the velocity item. And as Vincent says in 2.0 there will be the bridge to velocity macro to simplify things and allow macros to be exposed in the Wysiwyg, which is what will actually help democratize macros.

Thank you very much These clues will help me a lot -----Original Message----- From: users-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:users-bounces@xwiki.org] On Behalf Of Anca Paula Luca Sent: Friday, July 03, 2009 11:03 AM To: XWiki Users Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Hello - I'm new to XWiki MAI QUOC, Phuong-Tram wrote: XWiki allows grouping documents in "spaces", some sort of directories for the docs, for simple, one-level categories. Also, you can attach tags to documents (see the information tab at the bottom of a document) which you can use for filtering afterwards (checkout the tag cloud on the main page of your wiki /xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome). For the model, you can define classes (types) and instances of the types (objects) in documents, as well as templates to create documents of these types and sheets to configure how these types are displayed. Checkout the FAQ and TODO application tutorials here: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Tutorials . Be warned that they are slightly outdated, since changes happened in the mean time (for example, they use xwiki/1.0 syntax documents although in the current version the default is 2.0). But the model and the concepts are the same. Happy hacking, Anca _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
