12 | |||
3.1 | 13 | == Flamingo == | |
1.1 | 14 | ||
3.1 | 15 | Following the introduction of the Nested Documents feature, we have made some modifications to the Flamingo skin: | |
1.1 | 16 | ||
9.1 | 17 | * For non terminal documents, we have introduced a "Page Administration", where you will find settings that concern the document and its children (it's actually the old space administration behind the scene). But we have also introduced 2 sections for setting rights on these pages: | |
10.1 | 18 | ** a section to set rights for the document only. | |
19 | ** a section to set rights for the document and its children. | ||
3.1 | 20 | * For terminal documents, nothing changes, you can change the access rights of the page in the "edit" menu. The only addition is a "Administer Parent" link in the "More actions" menu to administer the parent page (which again is the space administration behind the scene). | |
25.1 | 21 | * The create action has been relooked (with the introduction of the "page type" field) and proposes to import an office document. | |
28.1 | 22 | * A new "children" viewer is now accessible in the "more actions" menu, along with the other viewers. | |
34.2 | 23 | * For Terminal Pages, a new "siblings" viewer is present, which replaces the old "space index" feature. | |

35 | |||
40.1 | 36 | == Solr Search == | |
37 | |||
38 | You can now search for nested documents using the [[Solr Search Application>>extensions:Extension.Solr Search Application]]. The display of the search result location has been updated to support nested documents. | ||
39 | |||
43.1 | 40 | {{image reference="searchResultLocation.png"/}} | |
40.1 | 41 | ||
42 | The "Space" facet has been replaced with a "Location" facet that supports nested documents. This allows you to search in a specific location in the page hierarchy. | ||
43 | |||
43.1 | 44 | {{image reference="searchLocationFacet.png"/}} | |
40.1 | 45 | ||
43.2 | 46 | The "Page" facet has been removed by default because it doesn't bring value in the context of the nested documents: all non-terminal documents have the same name 'WebHome'. The "Wiki" facet is displayed by default only on the main wiki and only if you have multiple wikis. | |
43.1 | 47 | ||
1.1 | 48 | == Miscellaneous == | |
49 | |||
44.1 | 50 | * The [[Document Tree Macro>>extensions:Extension.Document Tree Macro]] is now displaying a message when the tree is empty.((( | |
45.2 | 51 | {{image reference="emptyDocTree.png" /}} | |
44.1 | 52 | ||
53 | With the new ##showRoot## parameter you can force the document tree to show the actual root node (either the one specified by the ##root## parameter or the default root node). | ||
54 | ))) | ||
13.1 | 55 | * It's now possible create new FAQs in Nested Spaces. | |
45.3 | 56 | * When using the XWiki Jetty distribution, a memory dump is automatically created in XWiki's ##data/## folder when an ##Out Of Memory## error occurs. | |
33.1 | 57 | * The Activity Stream now also displays activity for Nested Spaces. | |
39.1 | 58 | * Skin editor now properly works for a nested skin document | |

153 | {{comment}}Eduard @ 7.2RC1: | ||
43.4 | 154 | I have found 3 differences in xwiki-platform that have not generated a clirr error, maybe they are leftovers or the clirr report did not catch them for some reason. See https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/pom.xml#L493:L510{{/comment}} |
