[xwiki-users] strange access rights phenomena
by Yishay Mor 29 Nov '08

29 Nov '08

I have a few pages in my wiki, that "insist" on denying view rights from registered users. These pages are generated by form, using a template, following the todo app example. they should be created with view for all. edit rights are set by calling: #setEditors($obj) ############ permissions ################################################ ######## allowEdit ##################################################### ## set rights to allow creator and contributors to edit #macro(allowEdit $users) #if($xwiki.checkAccess($doc.getFullName(),"edit"))  #set ($rights = $doc.getObject("XWiki.XWikiRights", true)) #set ($result = $rights.set("levels", "edit")) #set ($result = $rights.set("users", $users)) #set ($result = $rights.set("allow", 1)) $doc.save() #end #end ########## setEditors ################################################## ## set owner, contributors, and edit rights ######################################################################### #macro(setEditors $obj) #set ($ownr = $obj.Owner) #if ((!$ownr || $ownr == "" ) && !$doc.getURL.endWith("ClassSheet")) #set ($needRefresh = true) #set ($ownr = $doc.getCreator()) #if (!$ownr || $ownr == "") #set ($ownr = $context.user) #end $doc.set("Owner",$ownr,$obj) #end #set ($contributors = $obj.Contributors) ##if ($context.user == $ownr) #set($editors = $contributors+","+$ownr)  #allowEdit($editors) ##end #end ## setEditors ################################################## For some reason this doesn't always work. Furthermore, for some pages (but not all), view rights are denied. I try to set them right, and they revert to their problem state. For example, in http://patternlanguagenetwork.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Patterns/VisualNar… I set view on for all, but when I leave the page and come back, that right has disappeared. ___________________________ Yishay Mor, Researcher, London Knowledge Lab http://www.lkl.ac.uk/people/mor.html http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=yishaym%40gmail.com +44-20-78378888 x5737

[xwiki-users] Comment field in XE 1.6 for page display
by Art Yeung 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

Hi All, [Nabble told me my last post didn't get sent, so reposting, apologize if it caused a duplication] There are few tabs for comments/attachment etc in the new layout for XE 1.6 which is great. However, can I suggest we do not show the details by default until users click? (which like version 1.5). The reason is that currently every page made an authentication call. When we are using LDAP for authentication this may take 1-2 seconds. Since the comment field is opened by default, it's another 2 seconds delay for until the page is completely loaded. Reducing this 2 seconds means 40-50% faster per page which is very significance. Many Thanks Art. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Comment-field-in-XE-1.6-for-page-display-tp1328527p132… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Password Policies
by syam_kg 28 Nov '08

Hi Does XWiki has any password policies ?. I could see that it accepts the password even if it is a single character. Or is there any configuration need to be provided for this ? Please help. I am using XE1.6 Regards Syam -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Password-Policies-tp1459548p1459548.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Issue on Registration
by syam_kg 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

Hi I am facing a problem with user registration. An user registers by putting all the required fields and he gets a page saying that 'Registration is successfull'. A validation email is also been send to him. If he tries to login without activation, XWiki logs him in and gives a message 'Your account is not yet active, because your email has not yet been confirmed.'. He goes back to his mail box, copies the activation link and paste it on the same window. But the page remains the same and doesn't allow the user to activate his account. He need to open a new browser or logout to activate his account and login to XWiki. This looks like a bug. Any comments on this ? I am using XE 1.6.

[xwiki-users] Patch to templates/docextra.vm : where to report in jira ?
by Clemens Robbenhaar 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

Dear XWiki Users, I have a little patch for the "docextra.vm" template which I would like to submit to the issue tracker, but I am not sure where to post it. The file to patch is in the SVN repository at http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/web/trunk Which category / project in jira does this part belong to? Is this still "XWiki Core" aka XWIKI or is it one of the skins, e.g. "XWiki Toucan Skin" aka XSTOUCAN ? Cheers, Clemens

[xwiki-users] [VOTE] XEclipse release
by Fabio Mancinelli 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

Dear all, I would like to release XEclipse soon. During the last days I've fixed many of the outstanding bugs thanks also to the effective collaboration of Eduard Moraru who provided a lot of patches and I think that now XEclipse is pretty stable, usable and functional. This release incorporates a lot of features that have been implemented during the last months. In particular a better integration with the Eclipse ecosystem, object editor, translation management, page history, syntax highlighting and completion (thanks to the work done by Malaka during the last GSoC and Venkatesh) and many other improvements. There are still many things to do but I think that it's a priority to have a new version out asap in order to have more feedbacks from users and to build upon it. Due to some previous engagements I think I will be able to release it on Friday or during the weekend. WDYT? -Fabio

[xwiki-users] Pygments
by Lewis Denizen 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

Hi xwiki-users, I have a question (or more of a request) regarding the upcoming Pygments support in XWiki 1.7. We currently use XWiki at work to keep an internal documentation wiki for our application. We've created a few plugins which we've used in the following fashion perfectly (XWiki 1.0 syntax): {code:sql} DECLARE myDate DATETIME SELECT myDate = '$xwiki.dateParser.parseDate( "-1b", "yyyyMMdd" )' -- this gives us the previous business date in yyyyMMdd format ... {code} Vincent kindly gave me a heads up regarding XWiki 1.7's Pygments support (seems to be supported by running it under Jython - VERY exciting :-D). So, I was wondering... Would something like the above be supported (i.e. verbatim code, but allow velocity macros to be run inside the code block)? If not, are there any documentation out there (other than the source code) detailing steps to create an XWiki macro (found http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/Tutorial+to+Write+a+Macro+in+the… does help a bit if viewed in the code viewer), so that maybe we can build in support for something like that? Again, thanks for the great work!

[xwiki-users] General questions about XWIKI WORKSPACES
by sdugravo 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

Hi, We (University of Nancy 1, France) are leading a study about enterprise wiki software. 4 softwares have been selected, and one of them is XWIKI of course in the XWIKI WORKSPACES version. Our goal is to open the wiki to every students, teachers, work group, etc ... After some tests, we have some questions : The version is XWS 1.1.1, not in virtual mode, with LDAP Authentication. * Is it impossible to access to the function "WATCH THIS PAGE" in Workspaces as found in the toolbar of the Enterprise version ? o How can i add the toolbar (or the functions of the toolbar) of the Enterprise version which give the + "WATCH THIS PAGE" function + and EXPORT AS ... as a normal user o May i modify the template ? * There is not tags in Workspaces, is there a way to activate them as in Enterpise version ? o Whereas i have "xwiki.tags=1" in xwiki.cfg ... * Comments in blog or wiki are not visible through the RSS notifications, it is possible ? * I didn't have found tools for importing another wiki. It is possible for example from Confluence (i know, you know ... :-) ) : o http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFEXT/Universal+Wiki+Converter o Possible with XWIKI ? * I18N seem's to be : one language for all spaces o When as admin user, i select from administration Global Preferences + MULTI LINGUAL=YES + Languages = fr,en + Default Language = fr o All spaces fall into EN language ... o Can we have 2 workspaces in two differents languages ?
