Hi,

I'd like to create a new panel and place it in the sidebar of every wiki in my wiki farm. Is there a way to automatically make panels that I create for the main wiki available to subwikis, or do I have to manually copy them over?

Each wiki manages its own content. You can do this: * Create a template wiki with the panel and when you create a new subwiki, you’ll use that template to initiate the subwiki’s content (it’s the recommended way anyway) * In the Admin, where you specify the list of panels, you can reference a panel located on the main wiki (or any other wiki) using the full reference name. For example: “xwiki:Panels.MyPanel” (this points to the MyPanel page in the Panels space on the main wiki) Thanks -Vincent

Thanks,

Jamal

Thanks Vincent.

This raises another question: if I create a new template wiki, or turn an existing wiki into a template, can I retroactively apply it to an existing subwiki?

There’s no UI for this but I guess you could script it and use the exposed wiki script service to perform the copy. I was looking for documentation for that on extensions.xwiki.org but couldn’t find it. @GuillaumeD:  - question 1: any idea where the doc could be for the various script services of the wiki modules? - question 2: do we have a script service API to perform the template copy? Thanks -Vincent

Thanks to both of you. I'll give that a try. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Creating-a-panel-for-all-wikis-tp7593806p7... Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
