Yes there was those possibilities: - Adding a XWiki.TemplateClass to the document to offer has a template and remove it during the copy operation. I didn't chose it because It would have added one more bound between documents and the core. - Add a new "isTemplate" meta to XWikiDocument but it has the same drawback as 1) and it was missing extensibility (restrict the list of space is the first use case but I'm sure we'll find more). > > Jerome. > >> Hi XWikiers, >> >> I've been working on the ability to provide document templates on >> document creation lately. >> It's documented on dev.xwiki.org: >> http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/DocumentTemplates >> >> Implementation: >> - New "create" xwiki action >> - Templates: create.vm, createinline.vm (for inline and ajax uses) >> - Modification in the xwiki-core-rendering-xwiki core module so that >> it gets the correct action (create) for broken links >> - New XClass: XWiki.TemplateProviderClass (with associated sheet and >> template), this class allow to build the list of template entries to >> display in the create document form. >> - New administration section: Templates.
