[xwiki-users] [Optimizing] Changing the Default Wiki
Dear XWIKI-Community, I am setting up an internal Wiki for our enterprise and actually the Wiki is ideally suited for our requierement, but there are some problems for me. First of all I want to change the Mainname of the Wiki. For now there is the following content: "WIKI: XWIKI" - and I want "WIKI: ENTERPRISENAME". If I change the name of the folders theres no connection to the CMS anymore. So wheres the option to change this name? For the next step I want to use the Spaces for seperating the departments like Development, Projectmanagement etc., but if I set up the Groups and the rights of the users, they are landing on the mainpage. Is there a way to redirect them directly to the site, which they should see? Thanks for your help for now. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Optimizing-Changing-the-Default-Wiki-tp758...

You can go to the wiki administration and check with the "Look & Feel" -> "Page Element" The first input field in that page might be helpful ;)

I vaguely feel that subwikis might be better suited than spaces to your use case. I remember I once had to set up a wiki, where some members ("special guests") for some reason should not be allowed to see the home page, but instead got redirected to another "special" space. That was quite a hack already :-/ (Actually I overrode the default header.vm in the Xwiki.DefaultSkin ... not sure if you want to know the details.) If I would have to extend the hack this means adding something more that redundantly tells the home page which user (or group) "belongs" to each space ... that does not look like a good idea to me. On the other hand it is maybe possible to give each user a "home space" by extending the user object, but still this means some odd hacking. So maybe better check out subwikis and see if they work for you hope this helps clemens
Thanks for your help for now.

Thank you very much for your advise. So I go to create subwikis at all. Theres an official way to handle them? I just found to links with some snippets. And do you mean theres a option to redirect the groups directly to the wikis or I have to handle it with the link? I think I am forced to programm some sourcecode for reach my targets, don't I?

No of course not! That wouldn't be very user friendly otherwise ;) Check the Workspaces application at: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Workspace+Application Thanks -Vincent

You will want to install the "Wiki Manager Application" and/or "Workspaces Application", if they ware not already installed. (I have to admit I forgot if they are there by default or not; if they are not I guess I already unconsciously install them ;)) Check out the "Extension Manager" in the Wiki Admin for that. See also e.g. http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Virtualization

With subwikis it should work without having to write a single line of code.
Thank you!
