Yes. In my opinion, only do changes to your xwiki instance by 1. Editing pages (e.g. html or velocity). These changes consists of updating your database, and will thus survive an xwiki update. However, should the database structure change (dunno how often this happens) you are of course in trouble. 2. Write homebrew java plugins (package as jar and copy into WEB-INF/lib/) which you invoke from xwiki pages. Under no circumstance edit .vm files. This may seem like at decent idea at first, but will gradually make upgrade something you will try to avoid. Which of course is the opposite of progress. cheers :-) Thomas Drevon _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
