How Do I make tags in Xwiki for a page

Development
1

If https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/UserGuide/Features/XWikiRESTfulAPI should work with a PUT on https://funky.mos-eisley.dk/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/AtlassianHome/tags with XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<tags xmlns="http://www.xwiki.org">
  <tag name="food"></tag>
</tags>

I cant get it to work.

Browsing and looking around I found [xwiki-users] XWiki RESTful API: TAGS and unicode - but I guess/assume that is the old Xwiki style of REST?

Hi @moseisleydk,

In XWiki, tags are XWiki.TagClass objects and the way objects are added is documented here https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/UserGuide/Features/XWikiRESTfulAPI#HCreatinganXWikiObject

Hope it helps,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the response, - so what is not right here?

page: Atlassian Home - XWiki

Using https://funky.mos-eisley.dk/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/atlassian-home/objects is the same

It looks like the page you want to add object to is non terminal and the object needs to be added to

https://funky.mos-eisley.dk/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/spaces/atlassian-home/pages/WebHome
instead of
https://funky.mos-eisley.dk/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/atlassian-home

So your endpoint is https://funky.mos-eisley.dk/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/spaces/atlassian-home/pages/WebHome/objects

I do get 201 created now - but the tag is not visible in the UI:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<object
	xmlns="http://www.xwiki.org">
	<link href="http://funky.mos-eisley.dk/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/spaces/atlassian-home/pages/WebHome/objects/XWiki.TagClass/0" rel="self"/>
	<id>xwiki:Main.atlassian-home.WebHome:bcebc248-73da-4bb8-a046-e9875bea080f</id>
	<guid>bcebc248-73da-4bb8-a046-e9875bea080f</guid>
	<pageId>xwiki:Main.atlassian-home.WebHome</pageId>
	<pageVersion>2.1</pageVersion>
	<wiki>xwiki</wiki>
	<space>Main.atlassian-home</space>
	<pageName>WebHome</pageName>
	<pageAuthor>XWiki.bnp</pageAuthor>
	<className>XWiki.TagClass</className>
	<number>0</number>
	<headline></headline>
	<property name="tags" type="StaticList">
		<link href="http://funky.mos-eisley.dk/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/spaces/atlassian-home/pages/WebHome/objects/XWiki.TagClass/0/properties/tags" rel="self"/>
		<attribute name="name" value="tags"/>
		<attribute name="prettyName" value="Tags"/>
		<attribute name="unmodifiable" value="0"/>
		<attribute name="disabled" value="0"/>
		<attribute name="relationalStorage" value="1"/>
		<attribute name="displayType" value="input"/>
		<attribute name="multiSelect" value="1"/>
		<attribute name="size" value="30"/>
		<attribute name="separator" value="|"/>
		<attribute name="cache" value="0"/>
		<attribute name="separators" value="|,"/>
		<attribute name="freeText" value="forbidden"/>
		<attribute name="largeStorage" value="0"/>
		<attribute name="number" value="1"/>
		<attribute name="values" value=""/>
		<value></value>
	</property>
</object>

I can see that the versioning is adding up for each tag "added"

You are using the wrong property name. It is tags and not text in <property name=”tags”>
