Re: [xwiki-users] Extensibility of Workspaces

 Hello,
 Can the applications for Xwiki Enterprise be added to the Xwiki
 Workspaces. On the XWiki Workspaces main page it mentions that -
 Of course, under the hood Workspaces is based on Enterprise, and
 with
 some work you can get the same extensibility, but this is not the
 goal
 of this product.

 Should I even try extending the XWiki Workspaces the way it is
 possible with Xwiki Enterprise, since I am fairly new to XWiki. There
 is this concept of User spaces which is very appealing in the
 Workspaces which I really require. What are the limitations which I
 would be working against, so that I do not try to solve a problem
 which cannot be solved or atleast with decent effort.

 If you are new to XWiki, my best advice would be that you first get
 experienced with its platform and development practices in XWiki
 Enterprise before trying to extend XWiki Workspaces. Then, if you
 really
 are willing to develop/integrate new application inside Workspaces,
 the
 best way to start is to look how its current application are built.
 For
 example, for the Wiki application, you can look at the code under the
 XWSWiki/ space and the application descriptor in XWSApps/WikiApp.

 Hope this helps, Regards,
 Jerome.


 Thanks Jerome, I have already started on that. What I would like to
 know is it is possible. In making the Workspace easier and more
 straighforward to use, has some functionalities ( jars, templates,
 rights etc) been taken out from the XWiki Enterprise. Do I still have
 all the functionalities of Enterprise under the hood?

The answer is yes. XWS is built on top of XE, which itself is build on
topof the XWiki platform, so it naturally embed all those. The only thing
that you may not find exactly as in XE are some velocity templates files
overridden in the templates/ directory of the webapp (also there are not
many).

Hope this helps,
Jerome.


 Regards,
 Harjeet.

 An example of what I would like to try is bring in the application of
 forums besides others
