Hi Vincent,
Just got back from vacation -- sorry for the long delay.....
I'd like to pickup where we left off.
As you know -- I've followed your suggestions -- but I'm still getting the same
error.
I've
placed the PDF file on a public server as you requested. I've taken
screen shots of every step of a simple document type and instance
creation scenario.....
Please see:
http://206.130.58.54/xwikiHelp/XWikiHowToHelp.pdf
I'd really appreciate some feedback -- I'm asking very basic questions I think
-- hope you can help me get past go with XWiki.
Thanks
Frank

It would be great to see something along the lines of the "FAQTutorial" but
with more indepth look at available Velocity objects/macros and discussion of
how Documents/Classes/Objects/Properties are actually related....
I can't believe this stuff isn't better documented :(
Yep we need to rewrite that tutorial on Class/Object/Templates/Classsheets.
Would be great if you can help.Here's a short version:* Classes contain
definition of a concept. A definition is made of properties. A property can be
a string, a text area, a combo box, a radio button choice, etc. A class is
created inside a document. There's a class tab in the edit view of a document.*
An Object is the instantiation of a Class in a document. This means that
several documents can all instantiate the same class but have different values
of the class properties. When you edit a document there's an Object tab that
allows you to view all existing objects associated with a document and modify
their properties values or add new objects.* A classsheet is some generic code
to display the content of an object. Classsheets are meant to be used by being
included in a document containing an instance of the object they're meant to
display. The include is done using #includeInContext("classsheet name").* A
classtemplate is simply an "empty" page that already has the include to the
classsheet and an object added. It's meant to be used in forms and be copied
when user ask to create a new document easily.The 2 important core concepts are
classes and objects. The rest (i.e. classsheet and classtemplates) are just
easy ways to display object content and create new documents.Hope it
helps,-Vincent
