Need to delete news item with error in it
by kburns＠swilsa.lib.ia.us 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

I made the mistake of adding a news item with a double dash in the name and didn't preview before saving. Consequently, if I include the blog macros the entire home and blog, with the exception of the welcome/intro (and a new news item, is double-strikethrough. I know I could delete a news item if I clicked on the permalink for it but, of course, because of the strikethrough I can't do that. At the moment I have excluded the blog macros so the rest of the home/blog appears and is workable, but there is no news. I have tried editing every page I can think of, but no way to get to that news item. I don't much care if I have the old news items, so if the only way is to somehow get rid of all those, I'm fine with that. Question is...how dod I do that? Thanks!

Sascha, Thanks for the reply. I didn't intend to spam the list, but I did not see the two mails I sent out, nor did I receive the mailing Dean Hiller sent about my mailing. I'll be checking with our Email admins to see if any filtering is happening somewhere.

[xwiki-users] displaying list properties as checkboxes/radio buttons
by Robin Fernandes 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

Hi, Am I right in thinking list properties can currently only be displayed as HTML select elements, and that checkbox/radio button displays are currently not implemented? Cheers, Robin

[xwiki-users] Help with database list classes
by Robin Fernandes 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

Hi all, I'd like a property in a class to represent a list of all users, plus an "unknown" option so that the field can be left "blank" if required. I can get the list of users with the hibernate query: select prop.value from BaseObject as obj, StringProperty as prop where obj.className='XWiki.XWikiUsers' and prop.id.id = obj.id and prop.id.name='fullname' order by prop.value But don't know how (or if it's possible) to modify the query to append an extra static value like "unknown". I would rather not create a dummy user to represent this value, and if I can avoid creating a separate dummy class and object to hold the value that would be good too. If the list class could understand velocity arrayLists rather than the hibernate query, I could do something like: ### Select all users: ### #set($query = "select prop.value from BaseObject as obj, StringProperty as prop where obj.className='XWiki.XWikiUsers' and prop.id.id = obj.id and prop.id.name='fullname' order by prop.value") #set($users = $xwiki.search($query)) ### append an extra value: ### #$users.add("(unknown)") Is there a way to modify the hibernate query to achieve the same effect directly in the class editor? Thanks, Robin.

locking bug found
by Hiller, Dean 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

ah, I found what the locking bug was. It is only when using WYSIWYG. If I use normal wiki editing, it works fine. If I use WYSIWYG, it does no locking and two people can edit the document. guess I really do have to wait for the new WYSIWYG release :(. I was hoping not to slow adoption as people here find that difficult(dealing with business types). thanks, dean

John has been mailing to this list, but he wasn't sure if it was going through. Did anyone receive the following mail previously? Please just one person reply all to let us know his mail to the list successful. I am not trying to verify this mail.....I know my mailing to the list works. I am trying to verify the below mail. I personally can't tell as some mail list software is smart enough not to give me mail twice. thanks, dean -----Original Message----- From: jpalmer(a)purina.com [mailto:jpalmer@purina.com] Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 6:17 AM To: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org Cc: dhiller(a)carrieraccess.com Subject: {pre} tags not working Greetings, I'm working on a locally installed XWiki, using the 0.9.840 release.

includeTopic and PDF issue
by Vern Kyle 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

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

adding attributes to a wiki page
by Duke Tantiprasut 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Is it possible to add other attributes / properties to a "wiki page"? For example when you edit a page, you currently get the page content, parent, default language and creator properties. Can you add additional properties such as keywords / tags which may be referenced by scripts? Thanks. Duke

All, I have certain HTML that I do not want interpreted before it is rendered. How can I tell xWiki to render exactly what I have in my HTML?
