No it's not, XWiki instance is the current XWiki instance, i.e. the database and other places where you have data in the current instance so nothing to do with a remote instance. In other word it's what you use for what we usually call "import" and "export". A module that would be used to pull or push documents on a remote instance would probably be something like "XWiki REST input and output" (the module providing input/output documents through the XWiki REST interface). That would be the clean way but you can get the same result by using other hacks with the existing modules. For example you can directly import documents from a remote instance using as output the current XWiki Instance and in input the XAR module to which you give a XAR export URL from the other XWiki instance so for example something like http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/export/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki523?format=xar&name=ReleaseNotes.ReleaseNotesXWiki523&pages=ReleaseNotes.ReleaseNotesXWiki523 to import http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/export/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki523 page in your wiki. > > Thanks > -Vincent > >> paul >> >> >> On 28 oct. 2014, at 09:26, "[email protected]" wrote: >> >> > Hi devs, >> > >> > >> > >> > 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? >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > More generally speaking we need to think about Admin actions and where we >> > want them.
