PageSeeder Web services API documentation

<project>

Summary

The project XML output is used to represent PageSeeder projects.

There are two representations basic and extended.

The extended representation includes all the basic attributes plus additional attributes that further describe the project. It also includes the welcome message if there is one. The extended representation is only used by services where the additional information is useful.

Groups and projects are returned as a tree structure, in that case, only the <project> element can contain child <project> and <group> elements.

Usage context

Permitted content<group>, <message>, <project>
Permitted parent<discussion>,
 <membership>,
<project>,
<project-creation>,
<project-modification>,  
<task>

Attributes

This element inherits the following attributes from the <group> element.

The extended representation provides additional attributes to expose more advanced configuration options of the group, the extended attributes are listed in the following table.

NameTypeRequiredDescription
commentingenumyes*3Who can post comments on the project
defaultnotifyenumyes*Default notification for new project members
defaultroleenumyes*Default role for new project members

visibilityxs:stringnoWho self-register to this group (60 char)

Project-specific variations

In the context of a project, some attributes have a slightly different meaning.

There is no practical reason for the “common” attribute to be set to true for a project.

2 In practice, a project name is always to be less than 58 characters, as it would otherwise make impossible to create a group under that project.

3 The value only applies in case commenting has been enabled on the project. By default, commenting is disabled in projects.

Some attributes that are specific to group commenting might be removed in future version of PageSeeder and shouldn’t be relied upon.

Examples

Common basic

A project with basic attributes.

<project id="121"
         name="dev"
         title="Development"
         description="Project for all development groups" 
         owner="Example Corp"
         access="member"
         common="false" />

Common extended

A project with extended attributes.

<project id="121"
         name="dev"
         title="Development"
         description="Project for all development groups" 
         owner="Example Corp"
         access="member"
         common="false" 
         visibility="dev"
         template="dev"
         editurls="false" 
         commenting="public"
         moderation="reviewer" 
         registration="normal"
         defaultrole="reviewer"
         defaultnotify="immediate"
         indexversion="3300"/>
