Including Rendered Content or Object Properties with an includeTopic
by mark.robinson＠hk.tntfreight.com 07 Jan '06

07 Jan '06

Hi First of all - Congratulations Ludovic. I am amazed at the usefulness and flexibility of xwiki. Secondly, I have created a xwiki with individual subjects on each page. The data is held in a structured manner in attached objects. Individually they are displaying perfectly with the ClassSheet. However, ideally I want to make collected pages which group the individual subject pages so that any change to the base information, also updates the group documents. Unfortunately, if I include the pages with includeTopic they are not displayed (i think because the relevant object is not referenced). So 2 questions: How would I reference the object so it will display correctly? In the api I can see that you can request the RenderedContent from a page. Could I build a macro that accepted a page name and returned the Rendered Content? (if so how) Cheers, Mark Robinson

Hello, I've created an class with a property defined as a number. Hower, when I retrieve an object in my XWiki document, $doc.display("property", "view", $obj) will return me a String. This prevents my from adding the property values of several objects. So how to retrieve an number property as a number in a XWiki document. Thanks, Joep Janssen

All, I am still having some troubles with the left vertical Menu on my site. There seems to be 2 menus defined and I can only edit 1 of them. The home page Menu has a different look than the other pages. When I edit the Menu it only changes the Home page. Can someone please tell me what I need to do to get this fixed?

Style of login page changes
by ali＠naddaf.org 06 Jan '06

Hi Everyone. I am new to XWiki. I installed that on my system and I started adding some users with various rights to my system. Then I noticed that when I go to the login page, the style of the page is actually ugly, and is different from the default and nice style (as if it is using a different or no stylesheet). Could someone please direct me to how I can fix this issue? Many thanks, Ali.

INSTALLATION HELP XSERVE

Hi all...I've looked everywhere for installation instructions for Mac OS X...can someone give me links or instructions? I am using a G5 XServe with Tiger (10.4). It comes with MySQL 4.1.13a and Tomcat 4.1.29. So far I've been using the Linux/Tomcat/MySQL install instructions and everything works out except that I am getting lots of errors when I try to access the main xwiki page. It is a long exception error starting with: javax.servlet.ServletException: Error number 3 in 0: Could not initialize main XWiki context Wrapped Exception: Error number 3201 in 3: Exception while saving document XWiki.XWikiPreferences Wrapped Exception: Could not create a DBCP pool at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processException(RequestProcessor.java:516) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processActionPerform(RequestProcessor.java:423) Any help would be greatly appreciated. I apologize in advance if this information is somewhere else on xwiki site. Quoc Vo qvo(a)pingry.org

{pre} tags not working
by jpalmer＠purina.com 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

Greetings, I'm working on a locally installed XWiki, using the 0.9.840 release. I've got a couple problems with Wiki syntax that I need assistance with. First, I want to use the {pre} tags around some text, but XWiki seems to be stripping the tags out. For example: this {pre}*text*{/pre} sample ...will show up with "text" in bold type. When I edit the page, the {pre} tags are gone. this *text* sample Our XWiki installation is very new. {pre} worked for a while, but then stopped working, making me question whether there was a (system?) change made a some point that caused {pre} to stop working. I've also got problems where Wiki {table} will turn to HTML the next time the page is edited. Is this related to, or somehow a clue to the {pre} problem? Thanks in advance for any assistance, John

RE: [xwiki-users] includeTopic and PDF issue
by Hiller, Dean 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

I ran into this same issue without the includeTopic tag. I looked in my logs and it turned out there was an exception on parsing the document so it could not generate a pdf and instead gave me an html. Make sure that exception is not in your logs.....if it is, look through and it should be complaining about some xml element(for me it complained about <describe> element not being valid html).....then I edit it in wiki mode(do not use the wyswig), and I deleted this element and the pdf feature started working again. dean -----Original Message----- From: Vern Kyle [mailto:vkyle@acm.org] Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2006 5:17 PM To: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org Subject: [xwiki-users] includeTopic and PDF issue I'm working on a large document that I've split into sections using the includeTopic tag. However, I notice that once I use an includeTopic tag, that PDFs can no longer be generated (it tries to open an html page rather than a pdf.) Is there a workaround to prevent this behavior? Also, is there an xwiki bugs page to see if items like this have been submitted prior? Thanks in advance, Vern
