Hello Vincent,
Here is a quick update to inform you that I was able to make the RN
extension work the way I wished.
What I did :
- modified the ReleaseNotes.Code.ReleaseNotesChangesMacro :
{{changes displayer="simple" displayEditLink="true" products="$product"
versions="$versionsParameter" audience="user" containsScreenshots="true"/}}
instead of ->
{{changes displayer="simple" displayEditLink="true" products="XWiki"
versions="$versionsParameter" audience="user" containsScreenshots="true"/}}
and I also translated everything I needed inside the macro.
Now I can manage different products within the app and everything works
fine. Maybe I was doing a few things wrong, but your email and the demo app
helped me understand the logic behind the extension after a few try.
Thanks again for your help,
Yann
