Re: [xwiki-users] datetime in xwiki rss feeds
by Sudhir Rao 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Actually I saw that code. The simplest fix I could figure was this... In the page http://.../xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/WebRssCode, I replaced this line <dc:date>$currentdoc.date</dc:date> with <dc:date>$xwiki.formatDate($currentdoc.date, "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss")</dc:date> The fix however omits the timezone. There is java code at http://www.dpawson.co.uk/relaxng/schema/datetime.html which handles the timezone as well. The SimpleDateFormat pattern "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ" is close as it gives 2005-06-29T17:20:46.171-0800 This however does not work because of the missing colon. It needs to be 2005-06-29T17:20:46.171-08:00 The simplest way seems to be to use commons-lang utilities DateFormatUtils.ISO_DATETIME_TIME_ZONE_FORMAT.format(new Date()) Since commons-lang is already part of the distribution is there a easy way to add this code? I just don't know how to incorporate it in here at this point due to unfamiliarity with velocity, groovy etc. Thanks very much. regards Sudhir On 6/29/05, Ludovic Dubost <ludovic(a)xwiki.com> wrote: > > Yes..

Login Bug
by Tim Suter 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

I am having a problem that I want to resolve before xwiki becomes our production knowledge base. I have xwiki set so that you have to log in to view the content. LDAP is configured in xwiki.cfg. Upon navigation to the login page, it is displayed in an unformatted manner. You can see the User and Pass box...but when you go to enter them in it will bring up the style.css. This displays out as totally illegible and unformatted. Now here's the kicker. When you hit the back to go to the log in page, it's displayed correctly. When you hit the forward button, you got it....it's the front page for the xwiki. When I reproduce this, which I have before, I can send in some screen shots of what I am talking about for those of you that may not know. I just figured this might be a common issue. xwiki 0.9.840 MySQL 4.1.12 SunOne Web Server 6.1 Thanks, Tim

does xwiki support translations?
by charles gay 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

Hi, firstly, thanks to the xwiki team for thier great product! one question: is there any "translation support" in xwiki?: when i see one page with a language preference, i see a specific version of it (english in my example). when i've got a portuguese preference, i see the last version of the page edited with the portuguese label. can i create a page, and associate with it the related translations?(the original page and its translations have got the same url): => the url is the same for all the translations, but i can see translations depending on my language preference. is it the case?(we've created on our wiki, one page per translation.... => http://jguard.xwiki.com ). sincerly yours, Charles(jGuard team).

XWiki forms with database select fields
by Pierre CARLIER 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

hello everybody ! I'd like to design a form with one database select field. The xwiki standard distribution provides a good basic example with the Category field within the XWiki.ArticleClass. But some additional information could be helpful : - a relational map of all the database tables involved in this application - the names and descriptions of Hibernate objects corresponding to the database objects so that I can fully undestand queries like this one : select prop.value from BaseObject as obj, StringProperty as prop where obj.className='Blog.Categories' and prop.id.id = obj.id and prop.id.name='name' (standard hibernate query for the category field) - for my current project, I intend to automatically feed this table with data updated in another database by another application software (CRM in that case). So it's crucial to know with precision what XWiki requires when managing "database select fields". Do you know about some existing developments like this one ? Thank you by advance for any information you could send to me ... Pierre Carlier pcarlier(a)repgroup.net

FI: Fwd: Hippocratic Oath for Webmasters
by Jim Stuttard 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

A start? ------- Forwarded message ------- From: "Marcelo Finkielsztein" <mfinky(a)gmail.com> To: public-evangelist(a)w3.org Subject: Fwd: Hippocratic Oath for Webmasters Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2005 11:36:10 -0000 Hi, I would like to see specific reference about spyware. Does point number 3 cover that? Marcelo. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Martin Poulter <M.L.Poulter(a)bristol.ac.uk> Date: Nov 22, 2005 9:49 AM Subject: Hippocratic Oath for Webmasters To: public-evangelist(a)w3.org Hello everybody, I one of a small group of professional webmasters in the UK who have regular physical meetings. We are trying to codify and promote best practice. I am used to referring people to the W3C's QA efforts, including the QA Tips page and TimBL's writings in http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/ . However, the QA tips are not ideal for our purposes. They are addressed to authors and webmasters. We want a statement of best practice that is intelligible to users (so they recognise that someone is working to make the web easier for them) and managers (so they understand why we spend time working to achieve this). This led to the idea of a "Webmaster Pledge", written as a letter to a user. This is not a badge that requires a judging panel to enforce it: I'm not revisiting "Top 5% of web sites". This is more like Buddhist ethical codes ("I undertake to refrain from...") or maybe the Hippocratic Oath. After an initial brainstorming session, I've boiled down a ten-point, 300-word pledge, which I've included at the foot of this email. As you can imagine, it's very hard to make something that is in plain English, technically correct, challenging, attainable and non-presumptive about the nature of the site (educational, commercial, personal...) being discussed. For instance, we say that URLs should be bookmarkable, rather than URIs, because there might be one-shot URIs used legitimately in some applications such as e-commerce, but more importantly because the nontechnical audience is more likely to recognise the term "URL". A temporary site for the pledge, with annotations and more background, has been created here: http://www.economicsnetwork.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wiki.pl/Webmaster_Pledge I've joined this list because I'd be interested in: * Comments on the idea of a webmaster pledge * Suggestions on any important topics that have been missed out * Improvements to the form of words we have so far (especially ways to make the first item succinct) Thanks in advance for comments of any nature. Webmaster Pledge v0.3 Authored by the HE Academy Technical Group, edited by Martin Poulter 1. Pages on our site will have a clear, consistent structure that lets you find and use the content no matter whether you are using a graphical, text-only, speech browser, mobile device or even reading the page on a printout. Although we cannot guarantee a site will work on all past, present and future browsers, we aim to be usable with all current browsers and operating systems. 2. Content on our site will have meaningful URLs and be bookmarkable. If we move or delete documents, the old URL will be redirected to a relevant part of the site. 3. Our site will not break the controls on your web browser. 4. Links will give you a reasonable idea of what will happen when you click on them, and warn you if it requires a large download or a helper application. 5. We will regularly check for and replace broken links. Content that isn't marked as archived or given a definite date will be regularly checked. 6. The document content of the site will be searchable in a way that supports multiple terms, phrases and combinations of terms. Search results will show you the location of each file and its relevance to your search terms. 7. We will not hold personal information about you without your express permission. 8. We will never show you a bare error message. If there is an error (e.g. incorrect password, mistyped link), you will be told what the problem is and what you can do next. 9. We will not make content difficult to read with superfluous music or animation or intrusive advertising. 10. When you use our site for a transaction, such as making a purchase or creating a personal account, it will be clear at which stage you are and what remains to be done.

Problem upgrading from 0.9.793 to 0.9.840
by Ryszard Lach 22 Nov '05

22 Nov '05

Hi. I've tried to upgrad my xwiki within versions mentioned in subject. I've set xwiki.store.hibernate.updateschema=1 in xwiki.cfg and... upgrade (probably) failed. Xwiki seems to work as before, but there is an error in catalina.out; I suppose it has something to do with schema change and I suppose I will have problems in the future if I ignore it now, right? Do you have any ideas what could be wrong? This is the error message.

hi. i solved the problem by copying the propertie-files into the folder. the script now executes without any errormessage. but no data is written into the remote database. i think i have to add the jdbc-drivers(oracle 10g) somewhere to the env.sh file, right? my os is linux, the server's running linux too and the remote oracle db is 9i. florian On Tue, 2005-11-15 at 00:33 +0100, Erwan Arzur wrote: > it looks related to your locale settings.
