by sebastian.steinfeld＠ropardo.de 24 Aug '06

Hi, I'am new to XWiki and trying to configure it for our intranet. In the beginning I set up different spaces with topics and some contents to test it. But the WebSearch doesn't work. It doesn't find keywords in the contents. I'am using XWiki 0.9.840, which is installed on Tomcat 5.5 Thanks for any help. Greetings, Sebastian

Email notifications
by Esbach, Brandon 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

Hi All; First up, this is for our local configuration (not xwiki.com) What I'm wanting to do is setup an email system for notifying people that they must activate/sign in to the wiki and approve a request. For example (for the precise among us, assume "he" means "he/she" ;-) ) 1) UserA creates a financial statement and creates a document of class Approval Request. He then adds users to the document via xwiki. 2) UserB, being the first member of the list of users, recieves an email from the Xwiki server. He opens the page via the link provided, and - assuming he is happy with the change - grants approval (button/link/whatever). 3) UserC receives notification from the xwiki server; he also approves. 4) Iterates through list, requiring each user to approve before moving onto the next. 5) Once all users are complete, send an email to the document creator and flag the document as "XYZ" (approved/done/etc). Simplified quite a lot, and probably missing a few things but that's the basic idea - most of this I can work out fine enough, what I'm not sure about is the routing part (sending email from xwiki based on actions). Any ideas or suggestions very welcome!! Brandon Esbach Software Engineer M/A-Com Eurotec Operations LoughMahon Technology Park, Skehard Road, Blackrock, Cork, Ireland Tel +353 21 4808305

I have a downloaded version of xwiki which I am running on my local machine. It was working fine, until for the past few days, whenever I access the main page it is forcing me to login.

How do I give a user permission to edit a group?
by Adrian Hall 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

Hi, One of my users wants to control the people that get edit access to his area without coming to me each time. I figured the easiest method of doing this would be: a) Create a group XWiki.MyGroup b) Give the controlling user "edit" or "admin" access to XWiki.MyGroup so he can edit it c) Set the ACL on the space so that XWiki.MyGroup has view and edit permissions a) Create a document that does a $xwiki.flushcache(), make it publicly available, and put it in the group page so he can easily flush the cache when updating. The question is on (b). What permissions does the user need to that page in order to add and delete users from the group? Regards, -Adrian

Lost Admin rights for user "admin"...
by ajerrom＠latentzero.com 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

Hi XWiki users, I have an xwiki installation on my server and have restricted all users so they have to log in to view any pages. I then added content using admin user. I then added my ordinary users and wanted to give them edit rights only (once they have logged in). I saw that all users are in the Xwiki.XwikiAllGroup and figured this would be a quick and simple way of achieving this (but I assumed that �admin� had God like rights!) so I changed the settings to: Groups: Xwiki. XwikiAllGroup Access Levels: edit Users: Xwiki.Admin Allow/Deny: Allow >From the original: Groups: Access Levels: edit, admin, programming Users: Xwiki.Admin Allow/Deny: Allow Now I have (very stupidly!) taken away the rights of the admin user! Is there any way I can run a Mysql script or SQL statement to add these rights back in for admin? Should I create a new group called AllNoAdminGroup and assign access levels to the ordinary users that way thus protecting the God like admin account? Any help would be much appreciated because I have spent hours adding content as Admin and do not particularly want to reinstall and start again! Thanks in advance for your help. Best Regards, Andy Jerrom.

Rare bug when creating a templated document+object from a form
by marty.israelsen＠usurf.usu.edu 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

http://mail-archive.objectweb.org/xwiki-users/2006-04/msg00133.html I am using Version 0.9.840. I am new to xwiki but really like its potential. I haev worked through alot of issues but this one has me stumpped. I saw the above posting and it describes a problem I have been having with FAQs and other Forms. It appears that when multiple people on the xwiki at one time and people are filling out FAQs or other forms they will fill out the form but when they hit save it somehow does not copy in the template?? The blank page is created but the form and what they typed in is lost. This is very frustrating to the users. I also dupliated this problem by bringing up two browser windows both on the xwiki site. Then on one window I bring up my FAQ form. on the other window I bring up a page that has the $wiki.flushCache() command on it. Then I go back and finish typing in the form and save. the form is lost everytime. I thought that my flushCache call somehow was causing the problem for everybody because it was on the main page. I had put it on the main page about a month ago when I had permissions problems and I forgot to remove it. When I removed the flushCache() I could not duplicate the problem from my end anymore. However the users still are creating blank pages somehow. Is this issue resolved in another version of xwiki? What can I do to resolve this issue for my users? Thanks, Marty

[xwiki-users] purpose of parent pages
by Jeff Ousley 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

Hello, I'm trying to figure out the purpose of "parent" pages in XWiki. What can they be used for? If I set access rights on a page, do they trickle down to the child pages? Thanks! -jeff
