UI Extension Points
Last modified by superadmin on 2026/10/09 18:59
Explanation
The UIExtension Module offers the same extension points (UIXPs) to an installed extension as to XWiki itself, so what a point is and how a contribution reaches it is explained once, in UI Extension Points. Every point an installed extension adds and the documentation covers is listed below, with the page documenting it; the points XWiki ships are listed separately, in All Bundled UI Extension Points.
Three things follow from the point coming with an extension rather than with XWiki:
- The point exists only while the extension providing it is installed. A contribution made before that install, or left in place through an uninstall, is simply never rendered, and nothing reports it.
- "Contributor Id" is the extension to install to obtain the point, written in the form the Extension Manager searches on:
<groupId>:<artifactId> - "Introduced in" is a version of that extension, not of XWiki.
FAQ
Why is a point of an extension I have installed missing from this list?
That extension has no documentation page for it yet. UI Extension Points says where the points this documentation does not cover are still listed.
