Draft Documents
Draft Documents
This is a space for XWiki contributors interested in helping on the xwiki.org documentation. The other spaces on xwiki.org are meant to contain finished documentation so if you wish to start working on some part of the documentation (like new tutorials, etc) but you plan to do it over a relatively long period of time, or collaboratively with others, or simply if you prefer to show your work to others before it's made public to everyone, then you should create documents in this space and link them from this page.
List of draft documents
- Page and page object manipulation
- Demonstrates how to manipulate pages and page object to produce simple applications such as a task manager. Meant to be linked from DevGuide.Tutorials when finished.
- Using DWR with XWiki plugins
- DWR is a framework enabling you to access java servlet objects directly from the javascript code you use in your pages.
It is mentioned here since you might need it if you want to customize the look'n'feel of XWiki. A good example would be the [DocumentTree plugin>code:Plugins.DocumentTreePlugin], since you might want a hierarchy of pages with an unspecified level of depht. using DWR enables you to create complex data structures in your plugin (for example, a tree hierarchy) and process them using javascript (for example, to create HTML elements in order to display a tree view of XWiki pages).

- Explains:
- how to add support for metadata attached to wiki pages

The different usages of the class properties of type Database list and database tree list
- Manual Testing Plan
