Request for help on XWiki documentation
by Vincent Massol 23 Jan '07

23 Jan '07

Hi XWiki users, We'd like to ask for your help in making XWiki better. We're targeting XWiki 1.0 for sometime in March 2007 but there's a huge amount of stuff to do before it can happen. One area where it's easy to help and where it would provide great benefit is the user documentation on http://www.xwiki.org. There are several small tasks in JIRA for documentation. Could some of you have a look and try implementing them? They are all grouped under http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-586 For example: - Document the {image} macro - Document the {attach} macro - etc The way to implement them is easy: * Register on http://www.xwiki.org * Go to the Code Zone page: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Code/ * Use the menu on the right to add Code Snippet or Macros or Plugins. Another way to help is to create JIRA issue for macros, plugins, etc which are not already on the Code Zone and which are not listed in JIRA. Thanks a lot for your help. This will allow us to deliver 1.0 faster. -Vincent, on behalf of the XWiki dev team ___________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Mail r�invente le mail !

new page with auto-increment id
by Shawn Lauzon 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

Hi all -- I'm working to create an xwiki app that allows you to press a button, and it sends you to a new page with a generated name (i.e. not based on any user input). I can get this to work with a page name generated from the current time in milliseconds, but that gives me a really long number. I'd like to have the generated name be a number which is incremented any time a new page is created. Thus I would have pages Page_1, Page_2, Page_3, etc. I looked in our scriptlets section, but didn't see anything close. Thanks ... shawn.

Re: [xwiki-users] question about creating new user and skin

Thank you Sergiu and Vincent. As you suggested, I imported the initial .xar file (xwiki-1.0-beta-2.xar) and now I have my "admin" and familiar content/links/pages back. Problem solved. I appreciate your help. -Jimmy ----- Original Message ----- From: Sergiu Dumitriu To: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 3:19 AM Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] question about creating new user and skin customization in xwiki 1.0 b2 I think your problem is that you did not import the initial database.

Re: [xwiki-users] SVN Download
by Vincent Massol 22 Jan '07

Hi Benjamin, Unfortunately ObjectWeb SVN doesn't use the HTTP(S) protocol for SVN. I also would like very much to have it but it's not under our direct control... When using CVS there was a tool called cvsgrab but I don't know if there's an equivalent for SVN... In any case, since your last email we've released several versions of XWiki so you're probably fine. Let us know.

Groovy - permissions query
by Esbach, Brandon 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

Hi All... again! Looks like I need to use groovy for a few xwiki tools; but I just need to confirm permissions. If I understand correctly, you need programming rights to run a groovy script - does this mean all users that are viewing or modifying a page in xwiki with groovy scripts involved require programming rights? For eg: A class has a groovy script in it to compare dates (eg "is it before or after when xyz said it would be done"). This is setup at the ClassSheet level. -> On creating a document linked to that classt; will the user be able to run the groovy script attached to the ClassSheet linked to the document?

question about creating new user and skin customization in xwiki 1.0 b2

Hi, I downloaded the latest xwiki source code (last night)from svn and have delployed it in a tomcat server. It looks great and I have managed to hook it up with our openldap server for authentication. But I couldn't figure out the following issues: 1. I can log in via superadmin and the users from my ldap registry, however I don't know how to create a new user. I tried to follow the FAQ "...

b2: cannot register, links deleted by WYSIWYG, breadcrumb
by Martin Denham 19 Jan '07

19 Jan '07

I have upgraded to b2 from an old version and we have been using b2 for a week, but here are one or two issues: If I am not logged in and click on the 'Register' link (/xwiki/bin/registerXWiki/Register) it brings up the 'Login' page. So I cannot register without logging in. I have changed 'Always authenticate on editing' to Yes, but this should not apply to registration. When the default editor is WYSIWYG, editing a page removes links to images. The bread crumb (Main:Welcome Edit Menu > My Company Wiki) does not display correctly on IE7 but does on Firefox. Thanks Martin
