Hello, I want to control access to certain pages of my local xwiki (9.840) based on LDAP group that he/she belongs to. [I have already set up my xwiki to use my company's LDAP for authentication] How do I specify that in the rights editor? For example, if my LDAP group name is say, "abc-xyz", what string should I add in the rights editor? Option A) XWiki.abc-xyz Option B) abc-xyz ....etc Option C) Not possible with 9.840? Any others?

Writing to the Database - in General
by e Box 21 Sep '06

21 Sep '06

Hi, Q1. How does one write a new property value to the database from any generic XWiki page? XWiki's conventional method for inputting property values for a document through the ClassSheet/etc. will not work in this particular case. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Q2. Also, let's say I create a class with XWiki's standard Class Creation interface. Now I want to add an instance of this class. I go through the standard process, and now am entering data values (viewing the ClassSheet) for this particular document. At this point in the process, how exactly is XWiki engaging the database? What is going on behind the scenes? If someone can, please explain this process more (e.g., what database connections are open, methods being called, etc.) Thanks!

db schema for DB2
by Philippe Legrain 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

Hi, I've developped a wiki with Mysql, and now that it's ready to go in production I need to migrate to DB2. I'm running into troubles migrating large strings present in the db, does anyone have either: - experience and advices about doing that migration or - a basic DB2 schema with the base data that I could feed in into a DB2 db so that I can restart with a clean db Many thanks, Philippe Legrain

Cannot log in as admin after install
by Cliff Meyers 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

Hello, I am running XWiki 0.9.840. I am on Windows XP, using Tomcat 5.5.17 with MySQL 5.0.22. I dropped the .war and the application deployed fine and the home page loads. However I cannot log in with Admin/admin ... I don't get an error message, the page just submits back to itself with a blank username and password field. There are some errors being written to the console... in fact, there are WARNs for just about every page view. This is the entry from when I submit the login form: 10:37:07,000 WARN http-8080-Processor25 http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/login/XWiki/XWikiLogin?xredirect=http://loc… st:8080/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiLogin RequestUtils:createActionForm:177 - No FormBeanConfig found under 'loginerror' And here are a few more while clicking around the site: 10:41:15,125 WARN http-8080-Processor22 RequestUtils:createActionForm:177 - No FormBeanConfig found under 'view' 10:41:15,281 WARN http-8080-Processor22 http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome?xpage=history XWikiStatsServi ceImpl:addCookie:474 - Setting cookie PVWAHLRIY4TQSEEF5VJL3AKHUIAW4AMP for name visitid with domain null and path / and maxage 307875 10:41:15,281 WARN http-8080-Processor22 http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome?xpage=history XWikiStatsServi ceImpl:findVisit:314 - Found visit with cookie I2QN8PJZH1B1GKKX7JAOW6K6W9GRPLDW in session A89B0B1C6848CA198E0991556F5DE D48 for request with cookie PVWAHLRIY4TQSEEF5VJL3AKHUIAW4AMP 10:41:17,093 WARN http-8080-Processor22 RequestUtils:createActionForm:177 - No FormBeanConfig found under 'view' 10:41:17,250 WARN http-8080-Processor22 http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome?xpage=comments XWikiStatsServ iceImpl:addCookie:474 - Setting cookie XZ3W0VUQCQ4OWQ682EOC8UNBVXQMS1MI for name visitid with domain null and path / and maxage 307873 10:41:17,250 WARN http-8080-Processor22 http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome?xpage=comments XWikiStatsServ iceImpl:findVisit:314 - Found visit with cookie I2QN8PJZH1B1GKKX7JAOW6K6W9GRPLDW in session A89B0B1C6848CA198E0991556F5D ED48 for request with cookie XZ3W0VUQCQ4OWQ682EOC8UNBVXQMS1MI Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated! I am planning on configuring LDAP after I verify the wiki operating properly... but I need to get admin access to do that! Thanks, Cliff

Handy dependent HQL select lists SOLUTION
by e Box 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

By the way, (since I can't respond directly to my August post), here is the solution I finally worked out for HQL-driven, dependent selection lists, should anyone else find it useful: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">  </script> <form name="catsubcat" method="POST" onSubmit="document.location=loadSubcats(this); return false"> <% loadlist = request.getParameter("catkey"); if (!loadlist) { loadlist = "null" }; remsubcat = request.getParameter("remsubcat"); if (!remsubcat) { remsubcat = "" }; %> 1 Add/Change Category <table> <tr> <td> <select id="selcat" name="selcat" onchange="loadSubcats()"> <% println "<option value=\"error\">Select a category</option>"; sql = ", BaseObject as obj where obj.name=doc.fullName and obj.className='XWiki.NavCatClass' and obj.name not like '%ClassTemplate' order by doc.fullName"; sqlcat = xwiki.searchDocuments(sql) for (item in sqlcat) { optcat = xwiki.getDocument(item) selectvalue = optcat.name if (!selectvalue.compareTo(loadlist)) { recall = " selected"; } else { recall = ""; } println "<option value='" + selectvalue + "'" + recall + ">" + optcat.title + "</option>"; } %> </select> </td> <td> <select id="selsubcat" name="selsubcat"> <% println "<option value=\"error\">Select a subcategory</option>"; sql = ", BaseObject as obj, StringProperty as prop where obj.name=doc.fullName and obj.className='XWiki.NavSubCatClass' and obj.name not like '%ClassTemplate' and obj.id=prop.id.id and prop.id.name='parentkey' and prop.value='${loadlist}' order by doc.name"; sqlsubcat = xwiki.searchDocuments(sql) for (item in sqlsubcat) { optsubcat = xwiki.getDocument(item); remselectvalue = optsubcat.name if (!remselectvalue.compareTo(remsubcat)) { recall = " selected"; } else { recall = ""; } println "<option value='" + optsubcat.name + "'" + recall + ">" + optsubcat.title + "</option>"; } %> </select> </td></tr> </table> </form> Of course, this solution is only partial. On it's own page, it works. The rest of the implementation depends on your context (e.g., how to write values to the database). :) _________________________________________________________________ The next generation of Searchsay hello! http://imagine-windowslive.com/minisites/searchlaunch/?locale=en-us&FORM=WL…

Writing to the Database
by e Box 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

While editing a ClassSheet, XWiki shortcuts writing to the database with its hot-coded input fields. How can one explicitly write to the database in this context? Rather than allowing the user to type one of the property's values into an input box, I need the value to be extracted from the URL and directly written to the database as the property value for this instance of my custom class. Inserting: $doc.displayEdit($prop, "{property name}", ${the getParameter's new variable}) did not work. Any suggestions? _________________________________________________________________ Try the new Live Search today! http://imagine-windowslive.com/minisites/searchlaunch/?locale=en-us&FORM=WL…

Wiki page generation
by Lijour, Marc (EDU) 14 Sep '06

14 Sep '06

Hi Is there a macro or another device to generate Wiki pages automatically (via API calls)? For example, I pass a category name and 3 sub-categories and my macro creates the pages in the namespaces I programmed, with the names I want. Is something like this already available? Does somebody have a link at hand? Some code snippet? This will a must-have when the semantic plugin will become available. Thank you, Marc Lijour

Window resizing problem
by mrudula.madiraju＠wipro.com 14 Sep '06

14 Sep '06

We had customized a downloaded version of xwiki (9.840). We added a lot of new links to the left hand pane. Everything is fine - except a small cosmetic problem. When I resize the window, the left hand pane gets superimposed on the middle text and remains there even when restoring the window. Has anyone faced a similar situation? Any solutions?
