Hi, My first need when I made this application manager was to be able to organize an entire wiki as applications tree with the wiki itself as top application to easily manage wiki template and share applications between wikis.
Export an application is just a useful feature of this application manager, not the main goal. To do this export I simply looked at how the Administration Import/Export pages do and then use the internal xwiki package plugin. 2007/9/14, Vincent Massol <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > On Sep 14, 2007, at 7:39 PM, Erin Schnabel wrote: > > > I should ammend, it interacts w/ the packager plugin that's already > > part of the base: > > com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.packaging... > > Right, it's just an extension of it that adds an Application > Descriptor and API to manage it. > > It's an early implementation of http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ > Design/ApplicationManager > > -Vincent > > > On 9/14/07, Erin Schnabel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> This sounds a lot like what the "Packager" application already in the > >> CodeZone does... > >> > >> http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Code/PackagerApplication > >> > >> I assume you'd be basing partly on that, rather than starting from > >> scratch? > >> > >> I've made minor changes to the Application since I d/led it... but > >> the > >> PackageClass is essentially the ApplicationDescriptor, and there > >> already is an Export page which takes care of exporting the > >> documents. > >> > >> It's currently based on a text-field list of documents.. with the > >> Applications I manage, it works just fine, as I know the documents in > >> the application, and include the Package document w/in the xar I > >> export. > >> > >> I was going to add a variant of the Export document that will do a > >> query based on the space, and generate a xar based on the result of > >> the query... > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> On 9/12/07, Thomas Mortagne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>> 2007/9/12, Ludovic Dubost <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > >>>> > >>>> Hi Vincent > >>>> > >>>> +1 > >>>> > >>>> I think it would be great if applications have an "active" field > >>>> and > >>>> have a "translations" field which would be parsed by XWiki to load > >>>> translations.
