Anyone got pointers to help with installing either tinyMCE or the new XWiki implementation on a 0.9.840 XWiki instance? I don't seem to have got the trick of doing it right. brain[sic]

Email from server
by Esbach, Brandon 27 Oct '06

27 Oct '06

Hi folks, Currently trying to setup email sending for our xwiki server, and following the outline provided at (http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Demo/SendMail3) but does not seem to be functioning correctly for me. On my end, the xwiki server just goes into an endless loop (like as though it's trying to access a large chunk of data). Has anyone set this up on their own local wiki server, and if so are there any guideline configurations?

[xwiki-users] XWiki Script Coexistence
by Robin Fernandes 27 Oct '06

27 Oct '06

As XWiki becomes more popular, hopefully a wide variety of scripts will become available and easy to install thanks to the new packaging system. I'm wondering if we need to do anything to ensure scripts coexist peacefully. For example, I'm considering installing the Tagging script, but I'm concerned that its use of window.onload and maybe functions it defines will clash with other javascript code on the site. Also, should there be a specific Javascript library that we expect XWiki scripts to use, so that a page doesn't have to load up several toolkits just so that different scripts can call their Ajax functions? Furthermore, AFAIK it's not possible to define namespaces in Velocity. I assume it's possible several scripts will try to use the same variable names within the same page, resulting in confusion. Not sure what workarounds there are for this. Any thoughts? Am I just being paranoid? How do systems like Google ig allow many custom widgets on the same page without clashes? Regards, Robin.

Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki Athentication Integration
by divil＠gmx.at 25 Oct '06

25 Oct '06

hi, I'm still working on the user login from the educational plattform. to be precise I'm stuck with reimplementing checkAuth(). when I fill in the username into the context with setUser() and then call checkAuth() with the modified context the wiki-page is not accessible. but when I set the username directly in the checkAuth() - method e.g. return new XWikiUser("test") - the wiki-page is accessible. Could you possibly provide me with a sample implementation of this method?

More on editing
by THOMAS, BRIAN M (SBCSI) 24 Oct '06

24 Oct '06

Another feature for editing which is sorely missed even by users of non-WYSIWYG editors is the ability to search the text of a textarea. When an XWiki document gets long, it's really painful when testing out subtle changes or scripting which requires me to keep previewing while editing, and going back to the edit screen which has now reset the field to the top. At the least, the ability to put line numbering in would be useful. I'm planning to put up a bookmarklet to do that, except that it may interfere with any onchange-triggerred scripting. brain[sic]

XWiki and mod_proxy_ajp?
by martijn.ras＠gmail.com 24 Oct '06

24 Oct '06

Heya Folks, Has anyone succeeded in setting up XWiki using mod_proxy_ajp. With the default setup you get the following base URL for the wiki: http://localhost.localdomain:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome I defined a CNAME for the machine on which xwiki is installed and want to use that as base URL for the wiki: http://xwiki.localdomain The following at least shows the XWiki Installation page, but none of the wiki pages: <VirtualHost xwiki.lcoaldomain:80> ServerName xwiki.localdomain ProxyRequests On <Proxy http://xwiki.localdomain/*> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> ProxyPass / http://xwiki.localdomain:8080 ProxyPassReverse / http://xwiki.localdomain:8080 <Location /> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Location> </VirtualHost> How to i get this setup so the wiki pages are shown as well? Mazzel, Martijn.

Work undergoing on the WYSIWYG Editor - Testers needed
by Ludovic Dubost 23 Oct '06

23 Oct '06

Hi, We have currently some work undergoing on the WYSIWYG Editor by Nam. http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-382 We would love some testers and get feedback about it. To test it on your installation, you need to replace the tiny_mce and wiki_editor directories with the one from the attachment on jira. Here is currently my feedback about the editor: - The style does not switch to standard text when you hit enter after a title (that's a behavior that would be great) - the window size is not good for the table window - If you finish a bloc in a table with a carriage return and an empty line the conversion fails. Here is an example of that failure. {table} Title 1|Title 2 abcd |abcd\\ {table} - an empty line in a table fails to convert to wysiwyg from the wiki syntax {table} | {table} - titles should not be allowed in list - there should be a standard text button (first item in the title list) - windows are too slow to come up - translations appear after a while in the windows - clicking on an image and then the image button does not retrieve the current image parameters. - you need to find a way to center an image (the text 'center' as the alignement info could add a <div align='center'> tag). - xwiki should find the windows size ratio of an image and/or explain to the user that setting up only the width or the height will take care of preserving the ratio - font size, color, and type should be changeable - other improvements would be predefined and customizable styles in the editor 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

Bug or feature?
by Frank Haefemeier 21 Oct '06

21 Oct '06

Hello, I upgrade my xwiki from 0.9.840 (tomcat 4) to 0.9.1252 under tomcat 5.5. More or less it is running. But three things are not as before: 1. If I have a document called for example 'Doc.WebHome' the url in the generated html side is then '.../Doc/' without 'WebHome'. Is this a bug or a feature? 2. I get many velocity error messages like Velocity [error] RHS of #set statement is null. Context will not be modified. [line 6, column 1] What kind of log4j config line have I to do, to get more information, what's wrong? Currently I use the default skin! 3. If I go to a document (click on a link;-)) the whole document is shown, but after that the browser shows an active connection and is working several seconds before its finnished. This irritates a little bit and I don't see any reason why this happen. Has anyone see this behaviour by yourself? Thanks for your time! Bye Frank -- Dipl. Inform.

RE: [xwiki-dev] Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki Silicon Valley Meetup this week - Oct 16 to Oct 21st ?
by Gurnani, Anil (Exchange) 18 Oct '06

18 Oct '06

If this meeting does get set up, is it possible to set up a phone conference number so I could participate(as in listen in :-)? I am on the East Coast. I have recently joined this group and am interested in contributing when I can find some time. Since I have just recently joined this group (and haven't even built the latest xwiki myself yet) I might not have a lot of useful things to contribute, but I might be able to learn something from the meeting. We are using xwiki here (at Bear Stearns) for a couple of projects. I was thinking it would be nice to have the following features (and am going to begin working on these one of these days :-)) - full rich text editor for editing pages - menu items to add new tab (space), and new page - a dashboard like home page where people can add some spaces to their Favourites - a default home page and what's new for every new space (tab) Quick introduction of myself: - went to school in India - started my career here in Mountain View with Sun - went to work for cc:Mail which became Lotus which became IBM - came over to the East Coast and started consulting in 1994 - started converting slowly from C/C++ to Java/J2EE - did some very cool stuff during the .COM era (a bunch of web based financial apps including stock trading, and IPO for NDB which was bought by Deutche Bank, portfolio management for Smart Money magazine's web site, online Stock trading apps for Wells Fargo) - am now working at Bear Stearns in Architecture Office Thanks Anil -----Original Message----- From: Ludovic Dubost [mailto:ludovic@xwiki.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 10:57 AM To: xwiki-dev(a)objectweb.org Cc: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org Subject: Re: [xwiki-dev] Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki Silicon Valley Meetup this week - Oct 16 to Oct 21st ? After rethinking it, it seems that getting from Santa Cruz to SF in the evening is going to be an issue for us. Since our advertisement of this meetup is limited and there are not too many people, we should plan for cancelling it unless there are many peoples showing interest today. We can have a separate conversation about clustering.. My skype is 'ldubost'.

{pre} tag render workaround
by fanuzzi＠us.ibm.com 18 Oct '06

18 Oct '06

All, I was trying to find if there was a work around for the double rendering of the {pre} tag. I did find archive topic "{pre} tags not working" and it reference a Blog entry however I could not find it. Here is my problem and I assume it is the same thing. I have an inline form I am editing (xwiki class) and in the SheetClass I am displaying the fields and the values (it is an faq). However, whenever I display the textarea that contains the answer and it contains {pre} tags they never show up. And it messes up the formating if you save it after you click edit. However, ... Answer: $doc.display('answer', 'edit', $obj) ... Thanks, Tony Nuzzi
