[ANN] XWiki 1.0 RC 5 Released
by Vincent Massol 18 May '07

18 May '07

The XWiki development team team is pleased to announce the availability of the 1.0 RC 5 release. Go grab it on http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download The 1.0 RC4 release was supposed to be the last release before the 1.0 final but we've discovered some important bugs, the most important being that with RC4 you couldn't anymore copy/paste content from Word/Excel into the WYSIWYG editor. This release is a bug fix release and is planned to be promoted as the final 1.0 release on next Tuesday. Let's hope it's the last RC. * Bugs fixed: o XWIKI-1205 - Going to the Main.WebHome page on a wiki with an empty database generates a NPE o XWIKI-1210 - Nested lists are discarded by WYSIWYG editor o XWIKI-1224 - Html tags is escaped when we switch from wysiwyg editor to wiki editor o XWIKI-1225 - Entering a multiline cell content only keeps the first line when saved in WYSIWYG mode o XWIKI-1227 - Incorrect paragraph when copy and paste from other editor to WYSIWYG editor o XWIKI-1229 - Toolbar in Wysiwyg Editor cannot wrap properly under IE7 o XWIKI-1233 - Unindent button greyed out even though line is indented o XWIKI-1234 - Editor doesn't understand the 1. syntax notation for lists o XWIKI-1238 - Horizontal line breaks table * Improvement o XWIKI-1228 - Change the style sheet for select list in toolbar of WYSIWYG editor o XWIKI-1237 - Add handle button toolbar for font size and font family select in toolbar of visual editor. IMPORTANT: XWiki 1.0 RC 2 has fixed an important security issue in past releases where passwords were stored in clear in the database. Passwords are now hashed. If you are upgrading from a previous version, any new user or any password update will automatically get the password hashed. However existing users who do not change their passwords will still have their passwords in clear in the database. Thus, we are providing a tool to automatically hash all passwords from an existing database.

Intra-document links to XWiki headers in 1.0B3
by THOMAS, BRIAN M (ATTSI) 16 May '07

16 May '07

I really like the WYSIWYG editor's "Add/edit link" feature. One problem, though, is XWiki headings. There are two problems generally: first, it isn't intuitive how to name the link. For example, for a level-2 XWiki heading (1.1 in Wiki markup, generates HTML h3 element of class "heading-1-1") named Styles, the fragment identifier was "HStyles". Also, a level-1 (h2, class "heading-1") was also named by prepending an "H" to the heading text. Is this the way it's supposed to work, where in the "link" field I have to put "Hsomething" for a link to a heading called "something", unless there's another heading with that same text, which could be added after I compose that link and then what do I do...? The other is that following the link causes the page to scroll to just below the heading text, which is a bit confusing. brain[sic]

LDAP/ActiveDirectory authentication not what I expected
by BSayatovic＠amig.com 16 May '07

16 May '07

I set up XWiki 1.0RC3 (soon to be upgraded to RC4) with ActiveDirectory authentication. However, it's not what I expected. First, I must still create XWiki users with the same username that users have in my directory. If I don't first create the XWiki user, the ActiveDirectory user won't be able to log in. However, as soon as I create the XWiki user, the corresponding ActiveDirectory user can log in with their ActiveDirectory credentials. I had hoped that XWiki would simply allow an authenticated user to log in. So am I misunderstanding how it should work? Second, when an ActiveDirectory user does log in, it is the user details from their XWiki user that is shown, not the corresponding ActiveDirectory details. For example, if John Smith is an ActiveDirectory user with username "jsmith", and I create an XWiki user named "Johnny Boy", then when John logs in, "Johnny Boy" is shown for his name, not the "John Smith" form ActiveDirectory. This surprises me because some of the LDAP value I has to specify for XWiki's ActiveDirectory integration were telling it how to glean information such as the displayName from the directory. Again, and I misunderstanding how it should work?

xwiki build questions
by jimmy＠comkraft.com 16 May '07

16 May '07

Hi, I tried to build xwiki RC 4 but got the following questions: 1. I can only see pom.xml in the svn://svn.forge.objectweb.org/svnroot/xwiki/trunks-users location as described by http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/SourceRepository. I can see many modules in the svn://svn.forge.objectweb.org/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki/trunk though. I guess either the document needs to be updated or the repository needs to be aligned to the document. 2. I want to get the souce for RC 4 but cannot find a tag/label for it. What is the tag for RC 4 so I can use my SVN client to download the correct version? Thanks -Jimmy

Problem while creating my own user groups.
by roopesh＠digitalglue.in 16 May '07

16 May '07

Hi, In my xwiki application we have got a hierarchy of users, viz., admin(xwikiadmin), monitors, registered users, banned users, and guests(xwikiguest). In our application admin can create monitors. Monitors are users having some special rights. Monitors can assign rights to a set of users viz., the registered users (who doesn't have admin rights). Monitors can ban a registered user etc. But to allow this monitor should have admin privileges (see - http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/UserGuide/RightsManagement) But if we give admin privileges to monitors, then a monitor can even change the rights of an administrator, or even his own rights. Is there a way in xwiki for me to do make a user group so that he is not able change the rights of admin but is able to change the rights of normal users? Another query : how can I get the group of the currently logged in user from a velocity page? Regards Roopesh

Access to create a blog entry
by thegios 15 May '07

15 May '07

I would like to set up the access rights for my wiki in the following way ADMIN: can do everything ALL GROUPS: can only view pages, add comments and create a new blog entry The problem is hat i dunno how to setup permissions for the blogs: if I set no access for the spage "BLOG" than a standard user cannot create a new blog entry. The only way to do this is to set for ALL GROUPD edit access to the space "BLOG", but then they will be able to edit parts of the blog i don't want them to touch.
