One thing I've been hinting about a few times and that I have never seen yet and would be really cool for just about any XWiki installation with a development team would be to have a configurable set servers to which you could export a page or space (and maybe even a list of pages).
The scenarios I see there is that you start developing a function, then want to bring up to beta or production. Alternatively, you start to debug an issue and you need to transfer a few potentially problematic data to dev to study it. This would, of course, require admin rights both sides. I am not sure if it's doable as a single shot, using local browser storage, but that would be the coolest. paul On 28 oct. 2014, at 09:26, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi devs, > > <bad idea but kept for the sake of the discussion> > > Now that I’ve implemented http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-11337 I was > wondering if it would be a good idea to have 2 menu entries (they would be > visible only for admins by I think): > - Export Space (in the Space menu of the navbar) > - Export Wiki (in the Wiki menu of the navbar) > > When you click on them they would open a popup similar to the one that opens > when you click on Export Page but with 2 options only ATM: XAR and HTML > (since these are the 2 that support exporting at space and wiki levels). > > Now when the multipage export UI is ready, click on any Export (page level, > space level or wiki level) would open that UI with a preselection (current > page, current space or current wiki selected). > > We would also need to decide what to do with the Export screen of the Admin > UI: Would it be dropped in favor of the “Export Wiki” menu action? > > </bad idea but kept for the sake of the discussion> > > <more thinking happened here… :)/> > > <better idea> > > More generally speaking we need to think about Admin actions and where we > want them.
