by Stéphane Laurière 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

Hi everyone, Short note to tell you that since last Wednesday the new Mandriva Club has been XWikied and is going well! The server gets approximately 40000 page views per day. It contains for now 5500 documents, 2600 objects, 73 classes, 25000 users and 15 groups. It runs on a 64bits Opteron mono CPU, 2Go RAM. The packaging of XWiki into JPackage and into Mandriva Linux is underway. As mentionned on the "Credits" page, we'll be more than happy to offer a VIP account to any active developer of XWiki: http://club.mandriva.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Credits Kudos Ludovic! Thanks everyone! Stéphane PS: the threaded comments feature will be submitted this week -- Stéphane Laurière slauriere(a)mandriva.com Mandriva Club - http://club.mandriva.com Mandrakesoft becomes Mandriva!

Question to the right management?
by Frank Haefemeier 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

Hi, I have a question to the rights management. I created a special document, which has an input field to put in a name to create a new document. This document use a template of a specific class. The code on this page is copied from a page on xwiki.org. I think it was from your HowTo page. On this template there are two objects and a call to include a class sheet with the layout. This class sheet use velocity to view the content of the two objects. There are different layouts for edit and view. This works fine, but only if I have admin rights. A user which has the default rights of the group XWiki.XWikiAllGroup has no privilege to edit the new created document. What's wrong? What kind of rights do the user need, to create and edit this documents? Thanks for your help. Bye Frank -- Dipl. Inform.

RE: [xwiki-users] Need Aggregate PDF's with TOC
by Lichman, Mark Eugene 23 Aug '05

This may be a bit of a longshot for you however, before turning to XWiki I had taken a look a egroupware (www.egroupware.org) It seems to be capable of doing what you would like, as a warning though the code is a bit overgrown and can be very messy in places. It is in php and they have managed to incorporate wikkitikkitavi into the product as their wiki engine. I suspect that with some work it may be possible to incorporate XWiki into this project using the php java extension http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/marknold20001221.php3, although it is no doubt a non-trivial task. - Mark -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Schaub [mailto:stephen_schaub_88@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 8:48 AM To: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org Subject: [xwiki-users] Need Aggregate PDF's with TOC I am attempting to use Xwiki as a CMS for software development project documentation. A key requirement is to generate aggregate documents with page numbers and a table of contents. Currently, Xwiki doesn't seem to offer this feature, so I thought I would try using Cocoon to pull documents from Xwiki, aggregate them, and generate a PDF. (Cocoon lets you get source documents either from the file system, or from http URL's.) Has anyone attempted this before? I am running into difficulty and am not an expert on Xwiki or Cocoon, though I do have some experience with xslt technology. Before spinning my wheels too much, I thought I would post here to see if there might be a better way to accomplish what I want to do. I really like what I see in Xwiki, but if there is another product that might work better for this requirement, I might consider it. I've looked at a number of free CMS products, and so far I haven't found any that offer the ease of Wiki editing with the kind of aggregate PDF generation I want (specifically, TOC with page numbers). Last year in teaching this class I used Apache Forrest, but it's not very user friendly. I would love to find something that would be easier for the students to use. Thanks in advance for any suggestions... Stephen

How to see all pages / delete pages
by Cody Burleson 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

Can someone help me out here? I have created some pages (just through messing around and experimenting) that I decided I did not want. I did this using the [bracket around text] method. Then afterwards, I deleted the bracketed text. But, I am assuming that my page data is still sitting somewhere in the database. Is there some way to generate a list of all pages? And if so - is there also some way to delete pages for good? ================================== Cody Burleson

Re: [xwiki-users] When editing some pages the last changes have been lost
by Jorge Ferrer 22 Aug '05

Hi Luis, There are several reasons, both from a user point of view and a developer point of view: - ZWiki has a horrible wiki syntax (space based) - Modern wikis had much better functionality (we evaluated MediaWiki, MoinMoinWiki and Xwiki) such as attachments or structured information. - We are Java developers so with Xwiki we can add a functionality if we miss it. - ZWiki was giving spureous server errors and was becoming very slow as the number of pages was growing I think these are the most important, if you have a specific question I'll be glad to answer.

LDAP authentication not working

21 Aug '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Try as I might, with 0.8.40 and the current Subversion HEAD, I cannot get LDAP authentication to work.

xwiki backup / database conversion
by CeDeROM 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

hi! im trying to install xwiki on few enviromnents and then choose one that suits best xwiki needs. im using mysql and postgresql databases and i have _great_ problem with sensible performance testing because example mysql database provided on xwiki website cannot be converted into postgresql. also dump provided for PostgreSQL doesnt work with current xwiki release... :( as there is no backup facility built into xwiki (while it should be standard) i cannot use simpliest method of data conversion. i think that backup would be very very helpful feature, not only for making backups (in xml) but also for transferring xwiki into different environments! maybe developers could look at http://dbunit.sourceforge.net/ can anyone share xwiki database dump both in MySQL and PostgreSQL format? greetings! tomek
