Installable with the Extension Manager

Description

The Query Generator uses XWiki's core capabilities to generate search forms and a query automatically.
It generates a macro than can be reused in any XWiki page.

The query generator can generate an XWQL query, a query macro and a livetable macro:

The query generator can also generate a chart macro to count documents or sum values grouped by one field:

Prerequisites & Installation Instructions

We recommend using the Extension Manager to install this extension (Make sure that the text "Installable with the Extension Manager" is displayed at the top right location on this page to know if this extension can be installed with the Extension Manager). Note that installing Extensions when being offline is currently not supported and you'd need to use some complex manual method.

You can also use the following manual method, which is useful if this extension cannot be installed with the Extension Manager or if you're using an old version of XWiki that doesn't have the Extension Manager:

  1. Log in the wiki with a user having Administration rights
  2. Go to the Administration page and select the Import category
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to upload the downloaded XAR
  4. Click on the uploaded XAR and follow the instructions
  5. You'll also need to install all dependent Extensions that are not already installed in your wiki

To install the Query Generator and macro install the attached jar
