Description

Display a preview and a description during the page creation steps in order to help users with no HTML or XWiki language knowledge to have better page layouts.

Jiras

Failed to execute the [groovy] macro. Cause: [startup failed: Script4275.groovy: 14: unable to resolve class XmlParser  @ line 14, column 12.     def xml = new XmlParser().parseText(cont)               ^  1 error ]. Click on this message for details.

Use Cases

UC: Creating a page shows the template selection form
UC: The list of template is taken from the document template list (feature from the administration)
UC: Each template can have a description and a preview thumbnail without it being mandatory

Proposal

Benefits

  • Templates push the content/wiki usage
  • This will improve the visibility of the feature

Flows

  • This proposal imply to modify the administration too
  • Some advanced templates will need the use of the source mode (depending on the wysiwyg tool)
