Static List Property
by Arnaud Lesueur 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

Hi, I'm trying to use a static list property in a small application. I would like to feel this listbox with several possible values. But I can't find any documentation on the format that is needed in the "Values" field when I edit this property. What is a correct syntax in order to have a list box with values : "a", "b" and "c" ? Or even better where can I find any documentation on this field and others properties ? Thanks, Arnaud Lesueur

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

Extensibility of XWiki
by malesch 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

Dear XWiki Community I am completely new to XWiki but so far I think, it could be a ideal starting point for realizing a personal documentation system. However, I would need to extend XWiki for new custom tags which would allow me structuring my contents in a special way. Can this easily be done with XWiki? Are plugins the "way to go"? Can limitations for XWiki's extensibility already be pointed out? Thanks a lot! ma/esch

Re: [xwiki-users] select objects by class and sort by property
by Brian D. Switzer 19 Dec '05

Sorry, that's not quite what I meant. My example wasn't very clear. Let's assume the class Photos.PhotoClass has a property called "location" indicating where the photo was taken. I'd like to be able to sort by that "location" property. > You can try > > #set ($sql = ", BaseObject as obj, DBStringListProperty as prop join prop.list list where obj.name=doc.fullName and obj.className='Photos.PhotoClass' and obj.name<>'Photos.PhotoClassTemplate' and obj.id=prop.id.id and prop.id.name='category' and list='${category}' order by doc.creationDate") > or > #set ($sql = ", BaseObject as obj, DBStringListProperty as prop join prop.list list where obj.name=doc.fullName and obj.className='Photos.PhotoClass' and obj.name<>'Photos.PhotoClassTemplate' and obj.id=prop.id.id and prop.id.name='category' and list='${category}' order by doc.date") > > depending if you want to sort by the creation date or update date of the documents -- "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -- Arthur C.

XWiki "Search Authorization"
by Ralph Wetter 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

Hello List I will try to describe my problem as simple as possible: I've created a User "abc" and a new Webspace "abc". Only the User "abc" has Edit- and View-Rights on the Webspace "abc". That works fine. Now if the user "abc" tries to seach a document on his webspace using the normal search-dialog nothing is found. If i do the same search as admin, searching is successfull. Why that? Normaly the user "abc" should find the documents in a webspace where he has view- and edit-rights? What am i doing wrong? Thanks and greets! Ralph

Mapping Spaces/Wikis to company departments
by Bergner, Olaf 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

We are in the process of evaluating Java based Wikis for integration into our company portal (based on Jetspeed 1.5). One key requirement is that each department should be restricted to its own private Wiki or a subset thereof. I have studied the concept of Spaces or Webs which might support this requirement. On the other hand, there is the possibility of setting up a Virtual Wiki for each department. (1) Is it possible to achieve the desired mapping from department to wiki? (2) Is there a preferred way of achieving said goal, i.e. what are the relative advantages of choosing Spaces or Virtual Wikis? (3) How do I identify a Wiki Space or Virtual Wiki resp., i.e. how do I make sure that each user is initially presented with "his" wiki? Please bear in mind that ressources allocated for this project are restricted and the product has to be delivered within a very tight time frame. So if the desired integration would be possible yet would entail considerable effort I would be glad to be told so upfront. Many thanks for your efforts, Olaf Bergner

I downloaded and installed xwiki on my desktop. I was trying the FAQ tutorial and getting exceptions thrown. XWikiClasses page did exist, however ClassItemSheet and ClassItemTemplate were not. Hence I copied the page code from xwiki. When I filled in classname and clicked Create this Class button following exception is thrown. Error number 3202 in 3: Exception while reading document XWiki.ClassTemplate If I click on ClassTemplate link on class editor, following exception page appears. Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page Wrapped Exception: Invocation of method 'parseContent' in class com.xpn.xwiki.api.XWiki threw exception class java.lang.NullPointerException : null ${doc.fullName} $msg.get("login") $msg.get("register") XWiki Version 0.9.840 $msg.get("problemoccured") $msg.get("detailedinformation"): I am unable to get to ClassTemplate content just to revise its content from xwiki. Please help. Thanks, Patrick -- Sent from the XWiki- Users forum at Nabble.com: http://www.nabble.com/ClassTemplate-t733043.html#a1919920
