Hallo everybody,
I want to have permanent Webdav access to multiple virtual wikis for file
synchronisation. However, there are some problems with achiving that:
1. Mounting a webdav access on a networkdrive via Netdrive won't suffice as
there will be more than 26 Wikis. Ideally there could be one webdav access
for the whole wiki farm, for example through URL-Path based webdav access.
(One drive for the whole farm)
I did some digging into the code and it seems current webdav implementation
does not take into account multiple wikis, it always access the main wiki.
Our top-level webdav view consists of following sub directories:
- home
- spaces
- attachments
- orphans
- whatsnew
IMO we should have a top-level view which lists all the wikis available, and
inside each such wiki directory we can list above sub directories. The
reason for webdav support not being actively developed is that it is not a
feature frequently requested or funded (w.r.t components like
officeimporter, wiki macros etc.). If this feature is really important for
your organization what you can do is:
1) Dig into the code, implement support for multi-wiki environments and
contribute the code back to xwiki.
OR
2) Sponsor the development of this feature (via a commercial xwiki support
company like XWiki SAS and ask them to contribute that code to XWiki
opensource project).
Either way you can support the xwiki opensource project while getting your
work done.
2. It seems adding files via a mounted Netdrive webdav access is not really
possible; it works through http:// webdav access though.
No, this should already work. Did you drop the files inside a wiki page
directory? Then they should be added as attachments. If you are on a linux
environment you can use [1] or [2] and develop shell scripts to manage your
attachments. Note that the behaviour of webdav servers is very much
dependant on the webdav client you are using, you should try out several
clients and pick one that works best for your OS / environment.
Hope this helps.

Help will be very appriciated!
P.S. where can I change the core. and xe. messages in XWiki?
