Hello,
To customize our entreprise wiki, we have identified a few plugins / macros
that we need to develop. I have checked the online xwiki documentation /
tutorial, but i find them quite uncomplete, so here i am with my questions :)
1) It is my understanding that, if my macro need some specific javascript (eg
jquery.js) and css, i must use xwiki skin extension. While i can find easily
how to create xwiki velocity code that use those extension, i found no
explanation on how to do this in java from within "public List<Block> execute(T
parameters, String content, MacroTransformationContext context)"? Where can i
find example of embedding javascript/css inside a java macro jar or xar?
2) Extensions are provided as xar, maven archetype for xwiki java macro
generates a .jar. How do i generate a xar with maven so that in one archive i
have both my macro, the css and the js?
3) Most extension referenced on xwiki main site are open source, but where are
the source? I can only find the compiled xar files on download
4) Is there some recommanded way to pass complex parameters to macros? I need
to create some dynamic menu that will get as parameter a list of node + links +
icon to show + subnodes + for each subnodes icons / links + subsubnode etc. Is
it good practice to just put some kind of json in the body of macro, something
like
{{mymenu width="200px"}}
[
{ name: "node1", link: "MySpace.MyPage1", icon: "somelinktoanattachement"} ,
{ name: "node2", link: "MySpace.MyPage2", icon: "somelinktoanattachement"},
{ name: "node3", link: "MySpace.MyPage3", submenu: [
{ name: "node3.1", link: "MySpace.MyPage31", icon: "somelinktoanattachement"},
{ name: "node3.2", link: "MySpace.MyPage32", icon: "somelinktoanattachement"}
]
}
]
{{/mymenu}}
And in this case, are there already some stock xwiki methode to transform json
into objet array?
Thank you,
David Delbecq
