Hi,
One aspect thats driving me a little scatty - and I have to date installed XE,
XEM and Chronopolys and XW - so far only Chrono seems pretty intuitive for me
to drive out the box - is having a way for a user to see the pages they have
created in some sort of hierarchy but built into the menu of the page or the
quick links section or some such for easy page navigation and knowing where
they are in the wiki.
e.g. I can see the page "breadcrumbs" allow one to move backwards to a higher
level page, but how does one move forward or see that there is a fwd page short
of placing a hyperlink to the next page on the current page or expecting users
to click on "information" tab of the current page to find its "children"
I mean in Dekiwiki this is built into it so was positively elementary so I'm
frustrated that I don't seem to be able to do this in Xwiki. What am I missing?
I was hoping the "Document index" tree could be used for this by say finding a
way to display it as part of the "Quicklinks" or similar dashlet on the
dashboard, but the script to do this doesnt appear to work for user pages I'm
finding and it appears this issue is regarded as a minor script issue by the
developers, and even if it were to work I'm guessing that being a separate page
to browse to its not really what I was hoping to see.
I can create something like this (I'll use the Xwiki terms (in parentheses) as
I understand them for what I'd like to do) and write the page names in
UPPERCASE and use some hypothetical names. Using XEM where I have created Wiki:
MAIN_HOME (as the first wiki of the farm) I would like to use and navigate
something like this ito user page hierarchy:
(Wiki)
MAIN_HOME (Wiki) --
|--Departments(Space)
|-- Planning (Page)
| --Planning projects
(Page)
| -- Efficiency project
(Page)
| -- Warehouse project
(Page)
| -- ISO 9000 (Page)
| -- Production (Page)
| -- Downtime (Page)
| -- Utilisation
(Page)
| -- ISO 14000 (Page)
| -- Finance (Page)
| Budgets (Page)
| Guidelines (Page)
| Safety (Space)
| Weekly topic (Page)
| Safety projects (Page)
| Training (Space)
| Agenda (Page)
etc
Can this type of thing be done in Xwiki or do I misunderstand something
fundamental in how to use it?
I realise the XE product is intended to be basic out the box and must be
customised and isnt a universal plug and go solution but I'm wrestling with
what I thought should be simple to achieve so I'm wondering.
I really like the way Xwiki converts pages to PDF stripping out all the Wiki
clutter and the Edit, Show print bar that hide a lot of clutter that other
Wikis put and print on the wiki page, but the Xwiki created user page
navigation is less than intuitive and if I'm struggling then the most users our
side will be completely lost so I need to resolve this aspect first if its
possible.
Is there a way - a plugin maybe?
Thanks
Cheers
