[xwiki-users] Albatros menubar questions
by Paul Grodt 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Why does the top menubar go away when in edit mode? Is this by design? Shouldn't there be an option within the "Show" menu to return to the original article? I realize you can just click on the last leaf in the parentage tree (or whatever it's called, sorry), but that seems less intuitive. When I click into the 'Show->Wiki code' or 'Show->History' or when linking to it directly, it's a bit awkward to return to the formatted article. Thanks, Paul D. Grodt TECORE Wireless Systems

[xwiki-users] Code highlighting
by Paul Grodt 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

I'm interested in adding support for rudimentary highlighting of C++ within the code macro. Should this be a separate issue from http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-864 ({code} macro should support highlighting for radeox and velocity), or should this issue be extended to include it? Should I investigate adding this directly to the Radeox project instead? I really don't know much about Radeox yet, but from the documentation for the code macro, it sounds as though all the existing highlighting code comes out-of-box from Radeox Paul D.

[xwiki-users] How to upgrade xwiki 1.1.2 stable to 1.1.2 milestone 2?
by Yin Kee Yee 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Hi, I search and read through the upgrade info from this link below. http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation#HUpgradinganXWi… It said that the general strategy for upgrade is to download the WAR Distribution and to replace your current installed WAR. Since I did an initial xwiki install using the standalone xwiki enterprise window 1.1.2 installer, how can I upgrade to 1.1.2 milestone 2 without losing any current data? To be more specific, which file should I download and use? Thanks, YinKee --------------------------------- Be a better pen pal. Text or chat with friends inside Yahoo! Mail. See how.

[xwiki-users] Feedback on working XWiki installation w/ Oracle 10g
by William Lesguillier 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Hi, I'd like to give some feedback on our installation of XWiki Entreprise. We used Tomcat 5.5 and Oracle 10g. The connection with the database works fine, although we had a little fear because we didn't restart the whole Tomcat after adding the driver, so we had lots of errors. There is one thing that doesn't work properly though: the database username specified in the configuration file hibernate.cfg.xml is not recognized by the system. It uses the username "xwiki" as if it was hardcoded. We have a naming policy for or DB users, so this is a problem for us. It might be troublesome if we start mounting a wikifarm but I'm not sure about that, you tell me. Should I file an issue on this? We are now making tests in a production environment and it seems that everything works fine. Thanks for the good job on XWiki. We'll keep you updated with the good and bad news. -- William Lesguillier Consultor gestión de las tecnologías de la información Junta de Andalucía Consejería de Economía y Hacienda Dirección General de Sistemas Económico Financieros Servicio de Producción http://www.ceh.junta-andalucia.es

[xwiki-users] Problem configure xwiki.backlinks snippet
by Yin Kee Yee 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Hi, I'm new xwiki user and recently just setup xwiki running on a Window server by downloaded the latest xwiki enterprise window installer. The problem I having here is getting the Backlinks Snippet working. I follow the instruction using BacklinksSnippet feature link below. http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Code/BacklinksSnippet Basically, I have a wiki page with three sections. The first two sections have the links and I created the third section "What Links Here" and insert the code provided above. However, it doesn't shows any wiki links leading to this page but message "No back links for this page!" I checked the default installation directory and verified that the xwiki.cfg under C:\Program Files\XWiki Enterprise\webapps\xwiki\WEB-INF already have the following line below enabled by default. xwiki.backlinks=1 Did I miss something here? Any advise to resolve this newbie problem is greatly appreciated. Regards, Yinkee --------------------------------- Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.

[xwiki-users] forgot password link?
by Josh Joy 26 Nov '07

Hi, I tried reading the documentation, though could not locate any help in regards to a forgot password feature. Does XWiki currently provide such a feature where if a user forgot their password they have it emailed to them? Thanks, Josh

[xwiki-users] Newbie to Xwiki
by Robert Hercz 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hi, We are trying out XWiki, TWiki, DokuWiki and MediaWiki, to see which will fit best in our organization as a general collaboration and information tool, for both ever changing project work and documentation, and for more static information. One thing I need to find out, is if it is possible to disable the ever-present "Comments" and "Attachment" fields on the bottom of every page. Can they be enabled/disabled on a per page basis, or do they have to be removed globally (if at all possible)? I'd appreciate if other XWiki users can mail me some trips, tricks and traps: What should I look for specifically to experience XWiki's strengths over the others, and what do I need to be aware of to avoid its pitfalls (if there are any)? Best regards, Robert Hercz / Teletopia

[xwiki-users] search when not logged in
by Josh Joy 24 Nov '07

24 Nov '07

Hi, If I search when I log in (as Admin), when I search I receive results back. However, if I log out and repeat the exact same search, the results page is empty. What can I configure to allow people who have not registered to still perform searches? I tried setting the space rights to "view" for "XWikiGuest" for the space "XWiki", though this doesn't appear to work. Thanks, Josh
