wikimatrix entry
by THOMAS, BRIAN M (SBCSI) 12 Jul '06

12 Jul '06

Just visited wikimatrix.org again for the first time in several months, and it's not only much expanded but much improved. Two things should be of interest the XWiki community: The XWiki entry on wikimatrix is a little thin. For one thing, I think it's wrong on a couple of counts. There is a forum there which is sitting idle. This is a fabulous opportunity to get some exposure. Brian M. Thomas - Senior Technical Architect AT&T Services, Inc.

basic installation problem
by John Fry 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

Hi folks, I'm having trouble installing xwiki and looking for advice. I'm new to tomcat so I suspect the problem is something simple that I've overlooked. System is Debian unstable with tomcat5 and mysql5. The Tomcat default page looks fine at http://localhost:8180/, and the JSP and servlet examples there work fine. I followed the directions on Linux+Tomcat+MySQL and InstallerXWikiSurDebianInstable The instructions are a little confusing as to where I should copy xwiki-0.9.840.war. The instructions at InstallerXWikiSurDebianInstable say to copy it to /usr/share/tomcat5/server/webapps/xwiki.war When I do that and restart tomcat5, the xwiki.war file is not found (no xwiki directory is created). The instructions at Linux+Tomcat+MySQL say to copy the war file to tomcat5/webapps/xwiki.war When I do that and restart tomcat5, /var/log/tomcat5/catalina_2006-07-10.log reports: INFO: Installing web application at context path /xwiki from URL file:/var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/xwiki Jul 10, 2006 9:25:54 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext processTlds SEVERE: Error reading tld listeners javax.servlet.ServletException: Exception processing TLD at resource path /WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld in context /xwiki javax.servlet.ServletException: Exception processing TLD at resource path /WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld in context /xwiki at org.apache.catalina.startup.TldConfig.tldScanTld(TldConfig.java:549) Any advice would be much appreciated! Best, John

by Guillaume François 07 Jul '06

07 Jul '06

Is there a way to obtain a dump of the database for Oracle ? Even a small one could be right (but if the dump is huge, this goes well too). I'm askking 'cause on the official xwiki website there only a MySQL Version. Could someone, send me a dump with some pages or tell me where to found such a thing ? Thanks. -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/IT d(+) s++:- a-- C++$ ULC(+)>+++$ !P--- L+>$ !E---? W+++$ !N* !o-- K--? w(+) !O---? !M- !V--?

Thanks, -Adrian On the right side of the text editor in xwiki give you some hints about the syntax. To create a link to a attachment you can do {image:filename.gif} inserts an image {attach:filename.doc} creates a link getAttachmentURL() returns the URL which you can use with the <a> HTML tag directly.

How to specify an attachment?
by Adrian Hall 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

I'm trying to put a link in my document that links to an attachment. I thought it was this way: * [File 1>$xwiki.getAttachmentURL("Main.Thispage", "file1.pdf"] But, when I actually do this (on 0.9.840), I get this link: /xwiki/bin/edit/%2Fxwiki%2Fbin%2Fdownload%2FMain%2FThispage%2Ffile1/pdf?pare nt=Main.Thispage Which doesn't look like an attachment URL. 1) Is getAttachmentURL() just broken, or am I mis-interpreting it's function (since there is no javadoc for it) 2) How do I get the URL to an attachment on the same page when I want to link to it but give it a different link name? Thanks, -Adrian

For example you can access them through this wiki: Default Styles: http://openmpt.xwiki.com/xwiki/skins/default/ Default Templates: http://openmpt.xwiki.com/xwiki/templates/ They will be identical on all hosted wikis since these are the default files on the file system that the skin falls back to if they are not overridden - you can't edit 'em unless you can get to the file system. However, I have not "fixed" these links, since I think it is conceptually better that they point to the files on the main sites (xwiki.com or xwiki.org) Can someone enlighten us as to where these default templates / styles have gone? > --- Robin Fernandes <rewbs.soal(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > Someone kindly created a French translation but has > > overwritten the > > English version in so doing.
