Re: [xwiki-users] Template Property Value Propagation

Please forgive my naivety but how would I store static text (ie, text that is not user editable) within a class/template. Sorry there is nothing like static values associated to the xClass yet. The workaround depends on how you want to use theses static values. What you could do is writing some custom UI to edit/view theses objects and: - take care of propagating the value change to all objects of the same class - display and edit the value from the template instance Thanks again, Joe Guillaume Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Normally the SOPTemplate page gets copied during the creation process thus any data stored in it and its objects should get copied too. I used that in the past. I've been creating my classes, sheets, templates, properties, etc based on the FAQ Tutorial on the Xwiki website. The objects are copied fine but the text stored in the SOPTemplate objects isn't copied with them. The SOPClass was created in a Space not named Main. I created a new class in the Main Space assuming that I messed up the default parent or default space assignment. However the new class created in Main still does not propagate data saved in the template object when I create a new document. I'm completely befuddled. Maybe it's time to trade in XWiki 2.0.3 for XWiki 2.0.4. Is there a way that the SOPTemplate can propagate it's property values to new instances of the SOPClass? That is, I want some (but not all) of the properties of SOPClass to be the same for every new document/instantiation of the SOPClass. Is this possible?

I wish the text contained within my SOPTemplate would update like that... Guillaume Thanks again, Joe Guillaume Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
