[xwiki-users] When adding a new page, can a standard template be used?
by Sheila Hobeck 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

We would like some pages to have the same look and feel and for users to be able to add a page with a standard "look" to it. Can that be done? I couldn't find any documentation on it. S.H.

Hi all, Anyone know the answers: * Does anyone know how to update the text on the login page with say an email link for people to request an account, etc? * Redirect the user to a certain initial page when they login? If anyone has any answer I can paste them to the FAQ section of the XWiki website.

[xwiki-users] Changing default right policy: how to restrict a User's pages to its own access by default
by nodje nodje 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

I haven't been able to find a satisfying answer nor have I been able to find it out by myself. So I have to rely on you guys! I just would like to have that policy by default: The view and edit rights assigned to any resource created by a User are restricted to that User only by default. Unless it does create it in a public space. In other word, I'd like to be able to provide a private space to my users. cheers -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Changing-default-right-policy%3A-how-to-restrict-a-Us… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] How to attach a class to _every_ page created
by Nikolai Ugarov 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

Hi All, I'm wondering whether it is possible to configure the whole xwiki or (preferably) a space to have certain class attached to every page created. Just like it is done with tag class by default. I know that similar questions have been here several times. I've learned the standard way with template and custom HTML form. But I'd like to avoid custom form - i need to guarantee this class is attached, even if user didn't use any form (clicked non-existent wikiname for example). The final goal is to implement my own tagging system with more advanced features (like hierarchy, tags on tags etc) Thanx in advance -- Synchronously Nikolai Ugarov || | |||| | || | | | || ||| |||| | ||| http://www.xko.kiev.ua

[xwiki-users] Why do the pages "flash" when loading?
by Sheila Hobeck 26 Sep '07

Hi everyone, Just curious, but the pages appear to "flash" from blue to white as the page is loading. I know this will be a complaint from my users. Any ideas on how to fix? S.H.

[xwiki-users] Layout and sharing
by Artamonov, Juri 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

Hi Guys, I have several questions about xwiki usage. 1. I want to change layout of the space named "Main". How I can do this? I should say that that after installing xwiki with jetty and hsqldb and see {edit this panel} link but after installing war on tomcat I don't see it. Perhaps I need to specify the rights for this? Sure I'm logged as Administrator in both cases. 2. How do you keep the same content between the pages? For example feature list on xwiki.com? Is it different copies or you specified links somehow? I was told that it's #includeInContext <irc://irc.freenode.org/%23includeInContext> but I couldn't get example even registering on xwiki.org by looking on the code. Thanks, Juri.

[xwiki-users] Problems with Panel Wizard
by Benjamin Muschko 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

Hi, I deployed xwiki-web-standard-1.1-rc-2-hsqldb.war to Tomcat 6.0.14 running with JDK 1.6. Furthermore, I imported xwiki-enterprise-wiki-1.1.xar and selected all available documents. My goal was to create a new panel and add it to either the left or right column. I created a new panel, dragged&dropped it to one of the columns using the Panel Wizard and pressed the "Save new Layout" button. After going back to Main I can see a new panel but it's not the one I dragged&dropped there. In my case it became the Blog Entries and not the one I created. I just can't get my panel to show up in the columns. My xwiki.log has the following entries: 08:27:55,712 [http-8080-2] ERROR log.SimpleLog4JLogSystem - Method sendRedirect threw exception for reference $response in template at [57,1] 08:29:13,198 [http-8080-2] ERROR log.SimpleLog4JLogSystem - Left side ($velocityCount) of '==' operation has null value. If a reference, it may not be in the context. Operation not possible. Blog.Category [line 50, column 42] Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?

Re: [xwiki-users] Problems with Panels

Hi anyone, Quite a few times page contents (especially tables) get obscured by the right hand menu panels. Is there anyway to have a button or something to click to hide the menu panels or/and perhaps to have a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the page so the user can scroll to see the rest of the page? Perhaps any css gurus out there might know how to tweak the skin to do this. I've managed to wrap (with overflow) : <DIV STYLE="overflow: auto; width: 900px; height: 500; border-top: 1px gray solid; border-left: 1px gray solid; border-bottom: 1px gray solid; padding:0px; margin: 0px"> around large tables to provide a horizontal scroll bar, but the WYSIWYG editor removes it, so its not ideal when users want to use the WYSIWYG editor to edit a table!

[xwiki-users] Tomcat and Windows2003
by Esbach, Brandon 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

Hi All, We've just had an issue on our main produciton servers that has resulted in an effectively fresh windows 2003 installation for our Xwiki services - the problem is, tomcat has some needed configs that I cannot seem to recall at this point. Pretty much what happens is that the server cannot be reached from any pc outside the actual server. It is there and accessable (pings fine), users can even browse the shares on it - but tomcat does not seem to be willing to open itself to the outside world. If memory serves, there are a few files (or was it one?) that need certain permissions on 2003, does anyone have any idea of which one(s)?
