Changing date of an Xwiki news (ArticleClass)
by Florent BENOIT 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Hi, In order to migrate a website to XWiki, I wanted to insert old news in XWiki and then change the date to match the true date of the news (and not having all news of the same day). This will allow to use XWiki for archives, etc. I don't want to change the date by using direct access to the database, but use velocity commands. Then, I tried : #set($mydoc = $xwiki.getDocument("MyPage")) #set($xdoc = $mydoc.getDocument()) #set($date = $xdoc.getDate()) Current date : $date Updating date : #set($milli = $xwiki.parseLong("1155311178410")) #set($tmpDate = $xwiki.getDate($milli)) $xdoc.setDate($tmpDate) $xdoc.setCreationDate($tmpDate) But it doesn't work (the news is still displayed with the wrong date) as it should modify only the in-memory document. By displaying the $xdoc.isFromCache() value, it is true. Then, I tried $xwiki.xWiki.saveDocument($xdoc,$context.context) But it didn't work neither. What could I use to modify the date of a news (without modifying directly the database). Regards, Florent

Programming Access Right Issue
by Xavier MOGHRABI 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Dear All, I use the latest version of xwiki/branches/XWIKI_STABLE_0_9_1300. I've got an issue with the programming access right since I can't allow a group of users to use such of methods: $doc.getDocument()... In fact, I use a XWiki Farm configured with about 20 virtual wikis. On the primary wiki, I've set the Programming access right to a group called Admin (used to adminitrate all the wikis). On a virtual wiki, when I set the programming right to a local group, it doesn't work since the response of $doc.getDocument() is null. Moreover even the owner of the wiki can't use that method. Finally, I've noticed that if I set the programming right to xwiki:XWiki.XWikiAllGroup, it'd work but that's not convenient since any registered user can use programmatic function. Have you noticed a such behaviour ? Does any better solution exist ? Regards -- Xavier MOGHRABI - Consortium ObjectWeb Jabber: moghrabi(a)jabber.objectweb.org Phone: +33 4 76 61 52 35

XWiki Athentication Integration
by divil＠gmx.at 24 Sep '06

24 Sep '06

Hello, We're currently working on integrating xwiki in an educational plattform. That means, we need to provide an xwiki-page for each course. We have retty much all methods laid out and most of it working, the only thing we are still not sure about handling is the automatic login, before a user gets to see a specific xwiki-page. Adding users, groups and setting the permissions (in the xwiki) is all dealt with already - the only thing that is missing is the automatic login. Is this possible with the existing methods or do we have to write our own authentication-service? If so, is there sample code or anything you could point us to how to proceed? An option we were contemplating was, posting the login data to the actual xwiki login form in the background (similar to what the curl-library provides in php), but this might just be unnecessary, if there is a certain existing method we can utilize for that. Thanks a lot for your help in advance! Florian -- NEU: GMX DSL Sofort-Start-Set - blitzschnell ins Internet! Echte DSL-Flatrate ab 0,- Euro* http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl

ODF document display in XWiki?
by THOMAS, BRIAN M (SBCSI) 23 Sep '06

23 Sep '06

Has anyone given thought (or better yet, code) to displaying an Open Document Format (ODF) document on an XWiki page? As I have recently discovered, XML documents can be parsed with tools already in XWiki's libraries, but formatting them is, of course, another question. Opening a ZIP file is probably also a no-brainer, though I don't know offhand how it's done. This ought to be fairly simple, using a very standard XSL stylesheet, or something similar. Of course, with XSL, a standard browser should be able to display ODF formats itself, although the most commonly-used browser doesn't fit that definition of standard... The question may boil down to: is there an XSL stylesheet that formats ODF as HTML? I think I'll go have a look, but if you know of one, please don't hesitate to tell me. brain[sic]

Upgrade Failure, Restore Failure
by Deven Phillips, CISSP, CCNA 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

I wass attempting to upgrade to the latest Beta of XWiki yesterday and I loaded the WAR file into Tomcat under a new context and everything worked. I then backed up my original context and moved the new install to replace the old install. The system throws exceptions right from the start about a Hibernate index conflict. I removed the new version and replaced the old version. The problem remains. Can anyone suggest a way to recover???? Thanks In Advance, Deven Phillips, CISSP, CCNA Systems Administrator Metal Sales Manufacturing Corp.

Hi, I have the latest version of xwiki ( xwiki-0.9.840 ) and I'm trying to use the xwiki Calendar, I've copied the proper page from xwiki.org and saved, the page displays correctly except the bottom part ( "New Event" ) where there should be some input text boxes, there's nothing there, just the labels and the "Add Event" button. Am I missing something ? I've checked the plugin, it is enabled in xwiki.cfg, any other ideas ? Whant else should I check or should I do in order to make it work ? Thanks for any help, Billy
