[xwiki-devs] Unable to add user to group after Xwiki update
by echocoder 15 Oct '13

15 Oct '13

I am currently running Tomcat 7.0.39 as well the Xwiki 5.0.3 WAR. I imported the Xwiki database into MySQL from an older version of Xwiki which could be the cause of the problems below... When I enter "Administer Xwiki" and choose "Groups" I am sent to the following which lists the groups as expected. /xwiki/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=globaladmin&section=Groups#|t=groupstable&p=1&l=10&wiki=local When I click on the "pencil icon" to add a user to a group the same page URL is refreshed and shows a lot of white space followed by a list of users in that group at the bottom of the page. There is no option to add the user to a group. So somewhere along the line I believe something became corrupt during my Xwiki update. I tried copying some VMs from the templates subdir back to my main webapp directory but that didn't work. Any suggestions on where to look? Screenshot attached. <http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/file/n7585667/part2.png> -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Unable-to-add-user-to-group-after-Xwiki-u… Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-devs] Web Viewers
by Ludovic Dubost 14 Oct '13

14 Oct '13

Hi, With Caleb we are working on http://www.webviewers.org/ which documents a new standard for portable javascript web viewer and editors which can be used to view and edit files of supported format (current text, pdf, spreadsheet) in any web applications (starting with XWiki). We are demoing this technology on Friday at the Open World Forum in paris. We would need a mailing list to complement the wiki. There are multiple options for that list: - have it maintained by xwiki.org webviewers(a)xwiki.org - open a google group - open a google plus space - open some other web support space What would you think is better, knowing that the objective will be to have participants from developers working on javascript viewers and developers working on web applications.

[xwiki-devs] Using XWQL and HQL on panel
by Prachi Maheshwari 10 Oct '13

10 Oct '13

Hey everyone, I wrote a panel in XWiki to do some kind of filtering and retrieving data using both XWQL and HQL, and it works fine on the panel Editing page. But when I try including that panel on some other page, it throws errors. Caused by: org.xwiki.velocity.XWikiVelocityException: Failed to evaluate content with id [xwiki:Panels.Event Summary] Caused by: org.apache.velocity.exception.MethodInvocationException: Invocation of method 'execute' in class org.xwiki.query.internal.DefaultQuery threw exception org.xwiki.query.QueryException: Full form statements requires programming right. Query statement = [select doc.name from XWikiDocument doc, BaseObject as obj, StringProperty prop where doc.fullName = obj.name and prop.id.id=obj.id and prop.name='shortText5' and prop.value='USA' and obj.className = 'Event revised.EventrevisedClass'] at xwiki:Panels.Event Summary[line 14, column 278] Caused by: org.xwiki.query.QueryException: Full form statements requires programming right. Query statement = [select doc.name from XWikiDocument doc, BaseObject as obj, StringProperty prop where doc.fullName = obj.name and prop.id.id=obj.id and prop.name='shortText5' and prop.value='USA' and obj.className = 'Event revised.EventrevisedClass'] I don't know what could be possibly wrong. So, Please help. Thanks, Prachi

[xwiki-devs] [Notice] Change in JIRA components for runtime vs development time issues
by Vincent Massol 10 Oct '13

10 Oct '13

Hi devs, I've changed 2 components in JIRA: * I've created a new component named "Dependency Upgrades" for when we upgrade third party deps used by XWiki at runtime (don't use this category for third-party deps used only at development time like Selenium) * I've renamed "Build, Infrastructure and Tests" to "Development Issues only" to remove the confusion. This is for issues that shouldn't make it in the release notes since they're internal issues only used for our development process and do not affect users running XWiki. See http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HRule:Do… for details Let me know if there's any problem for you with this. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] LESS CSS
by Hamster 10 Oct '13

10 Oct '13

In my "struggle" to adjust the size of the panels, I need to change the CSS at multiple locations in order to change the width. I then thought "If the width of a panel was a variable, and all other CSS where formulas which uses that variable, I only have to change ONE parameter..." So I did a quick search and found this site: LESS CSS <http://lesscss.org/> Maybe this is something that is useful for XWiki? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/LESS-CSS-tp7587496.html Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-devs] [Call for help] Help the XWiki project update applications on extensions.xwiki.org
by Vincent Massol 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Hi developers/contributors, We have quite a lot of applications on http://extensions.xwiki.org However several haven't been updated for a very long time even though XWiki has made progress. I can think of 3 areas where help would be appreciated: * Some apps have wiki pages in XWiki Syntax 1.0 version. Those need to be upgraded to XWiki Syntax 2.1. * Some apps don't register themselves in the Applications Panel. To change that just need to create a new page with the proper XObject. You can copy the Blog.ApplicationsPanelEntry page to this app's space and edit it. * Some apps don't automatically register translations and force the user to manually add documentation resource bundle in the Administration. There's now a better way which is to add an object of type XWiki.TranslationDocumentClass Example of app that would need an update: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Polls+Application So who's willing to help? :) Note that the best strategy is to ensure that the application has a git repo on https://github.com/organizations/xwiki-contrib (there should be a Source button on the app page on extensions.xwiki.org too). If not, then let me know by answering this email and I'll create it for you and give you access so that you can make changes there. FYI the full process is documented at http://contrib.xwiki.org and I can help you with that. Thanks! -Vincent
