Note that it’s very very hard ATM to write an app that will work when installed in any space. Some gotchas: * xobject references in wiki pages are absolute * class sheet bindings are absolute
Before we can do this we need to work on inventing the new syntax for relative references, see http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/DeprecatingSpaceAndSpaceReference#HNewreferencesyntax283F29 For example we need to be able to write in a class sheet binding xobject: .XXXSheet (or ..SomePage.XXXSheet). And we need to save xobject references as relative in the DB. Basically we need to have everything stored relative in the DB… Thanks -Vincent > On 20 Sep 2016, at 13:41, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi devs, > > Now that we support Nested Pages, I think it would be nice if we had the > option to install an Extension in a space (i.e. a page from a user POV). > > Technically at the Component Manager level, we can already register a > component at the farm level (root), in the current wiki, in the current space > or for the current user. > > We already have the option to install an extension in a wiki and it would be > nice to extend that concept to a space. > > We also already have the concept of space admin UI. > > Of course the app should tell whether it supports being installed in several > spaces or not. > > The use case is simply to be able to install several times a given > application. > > From a UI perspective, when you go the the space admin UI (called the Page > Administration for users), you’d have the option to list installed extensions > and install new extensions (basically what you currently have at the wiki > level). > > Now, the same should be doable also for importing XARs, i.e. also have an > Import option in the Page Administration UI. > > WDYT? > > How complex would it be to do that? > > Do we already have a JIRA for this (couldn’t find one)? > > Thanks > -Vincent > _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
