Create a new instance of Xwiki
by Lichman, Mark Eugene 28 Jul '05

28 Jul '05

Hi Cwiki users, I noticed the instructions for adding another space, unfortunately this isn't quite what I needed. Here are some instuctions for creating a new instance of Xwiki in case you'd like to keep two completly separate databases (i.e. searching one will not give results for the other). I wasn't quite sure where to put this online. 1 Create a new instance of Xwiki # Create a folder with the name of the new Xwiki (i.e. support) in the tomcat/webapps folder) # Extract the xwiki war file into this folder # In the webinf/hibernate.cfg.xml file * modify {code:xml} <property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost/xwiki</property> {code} replacing xwiki with the name of the new database you wish to create # create a new database with the same name as in the line above # import the sample database located here [http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/XWikiDownload] into your new database All set! Go to http://localhost/your_wiki_here/bin/view/Main/WebHome to check it out. Caution, you may wish to modify the index.html file to point to your url just in case.

Re: [xwiki-users] Stylesheet viewed on login

The important thing is that once you have given view rights to the Skin you are using, you should log out and hit "CTRL-REFRESH" (on IE) or "Shift-Reload" on Firefox to make sure the skin is setup right even on the login page.. If this is the case you shouldn't get any problems after login..

Ergonomics !
by Ludovic Dubost 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hi, Thierry Grandsart is an intern working on ergonomics for XWiki. He has been working on studying the different wikis and making some recommandations on the XWiki interface. We'd like to include you in giving us feedback about his proposals and particpating in the discussion around them. He has started publishing a first sketch of a new interface proposal for XWiki at http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/Ergonomics Other proposals will follow and will be put up to discussion.. Don't hesitate to comment on the XWiki document or in the JIRA task at http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-109 Ludovic -- Ludovic Dubost XPertNet: http://www.xpertnet.fr/ Blog: http://www.ludovic.org/blog/ XWiki: http://www.xwiki.com Skype: ldubost AIM: nvludo Yahoo: ludovic

Create very simple Form
by Xavier MOGHRABI 22 Jul '05

22 Jul '05

Hi all, I'd like to create a forms using XWiki and that my data may be stored into the database. Thus I try to create a XWiki Class. First to test a small example, I just create a Class with the Class Editor (XWiki/XWikiClasses). I've named my class Main.EssaiClass. I keep the default configuration. I added 2 string attributes to the class named "a" and "b". XWiki.EssaiClass contains the following code : #set( $class = $doc.name.substring(0,$doc.name.indexOf("Class"))) #set($defaultparent = "XWiki.${class}Class") #set($defaultweb = "Main") #includeForm("XWiki.ClassSheet") XWiki.EssaiClassSheet : 1 Document $doc.name ## Change class name to your class name #set($class = $doc.getObject("XWiki.EssaiClass").xWikiClass) <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> #foreach($prop in $class.properties) <tr><td> *${prop.prettyName}* </td> <td>$doc.display($prop.getName())</td> </tr> #end </table> XWiki.EssaiClassTemplate : #includeForm("XWiki.EssaiClassSheet") Now I can see my class in the ClassEditor. However If Y create a new document such as Main.TestDoc I can just see the title of the document. No form is displayed :-( Did I something wrong ?

Hi. Is there any way to include user's comments into RSS feeds? If no - is there an efficient way for authors to follow comments on their pages? Richard. -- "First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win." - Mohandas Gandhi.

RE: [xwiki-users] Wiki Syntax conversion
by Lichman, Mark Eugene 19 Jul '05

Found a site which uses a nice PERL script to convert html > wiki for various wiki syntax types. In principle I think it should be easy to modify this to convert to XWiki syntax, I'll send the modified script when I have time unless somes else would like to take a crack at it. http://diberri.dyndns.org/html2wiki.html It may also be pretty neat to use something simlliar to flow seamlessly from a html editor to a simple text editor as in seedwiki http://www.seedwiki.com/wiki/flight_gear/flight_gear.cfm?edit=yes&doc=fligh… r&wiki=flight_gear&i=23 - Mark Lichman -----Original Message----- From: Ludovic Dubost [mailto:ludovic@xwiki.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2005 2:35 PM To: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Wiki Syntax conversion Not that I know off..

Right, never mind.

A couple quick questions
by matheus＠mindsatwork.com.br 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

Hi all, I am new to XWiki but already find it the best wiki around, even compared to big ones such as MediaWiki and MoinMoin, which I have run before. Congrats! Well I have a couple quick questions: - Is there any support (or plans) for XWiki farming? Such as MediaWiki's feature to use a unique database with prefixed tables? - Is it possible to change a XWiki's name (the folder under webapps) after it is installed? How? - I have messed with access rights and I find it powerful and complex, but the interface is ankward to use. Also, in some circumstances, I had to restart Tomcat to make access rights for new users work correctly. Is that possible? - What is the correct way to remove a group? Couldn't find that in the docs. Thank you very much! Matheus --------------------------------------------- This message was sent using Endymion MailMan. http://www.endymion.com/products/mailman/
