xWiki Behind Apache Mod_Proxy. https -> http
by Douglas Culnane 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

I am using xWiki behind an apache server and using Mod proxy to proxy https requests to the tomcat server. The problem is that xWiki rewrites the urls to http://host... so they have to get bounced off the http default server host configuration that redirects them to https://host.... Therefore the posts do not work because the redirect breaks the session. How can I turn off the url rewriting in xwiki so that the urls use the relative reference not the full absolute reference? Or is there a way to tell it to rewrite urls with the https (not http) protocal?

Order by property of a class
by Roopesh P Raj 25 May '08

25 May '08

Hi, I am querying for all the users whose addresses are matching a particular pattern. (there is an "address" property in the UserClass). Also I want to the results to be sorted by another property, "username". I found a similar query in this mailing list thread : http://www.nabble.com/select-objects-by-class-and-sort-by-property-tf710844… I tried forming the following query but it is wrong. , BaseObject as obj, StringProperty as prop, StringProperty as otherprop join obj.id=otherprop.id.id and otherprop.id.name='username' where obj.name=doc.fullName and obj.className='Users.UserClass' and obj.id=prop.id.id and prop.id.name='address' and prop.value like '%someaddress%' order by otherprop.value Can anyone tell me what the correct query should be like. Thanks in advance Roopesh ------------------ DigitalGlue, India

[xwiki-users] Problems on customizing xwiki --copyright, logo, panel
by Ren, Peng P (GE Healthcare, consultant) 12 Apr '08

12 Apr '08

Hi all I have some problems on customizing Xwiki layout. 1. I change the copyright information in Administration Preference, for example "It is Roc's wiki, please join us". but I can see only part of this,"It is Roc", in some pages's right bottom corner, and "<div id" in the same row on the left,other pages seems ok. 2. I replace the logo following the instruction on xwiki.org, attached my logo to /xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/DefaultSkin and edited objects for my logo. Every logo inside xwiki is ok, but the logo in login page still remained xwiki.org logo. (I set anyone must regist and login befor seeing anything in my xwiki). 3. After I put a large table which contains 70 rows, the bottom panels (not only one) disappeared. And left some error message <h5 class="xwikipaneltitle" onclick="if(eltHasClass(this.parentNode, 'expanded')) createCookie('XWiki.Admin_Panels.NewPage','collapsed', ''); else eraseCookie('XWiki.Admin_Panels. Anyone who can help me. I am trapped in these for several days.Thanks very much. Regards. Roc <mailto:pengp.ren@ge.com>

[xwiki-users] changing some layout details in a single page
by [Ricardo Rodriguez] Your EPEC Network ICT Team 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

Hi all, Although this issue comes from some previous threads, please, allow me to reformulate it here. I do need to change some layout appearance details in some single pages. I more or less understand how CSS now allows to change most of the layout characteristics, and how, skins are the best vehicle to apply CSS, but I don't know how to apply a skin to a single page. I've tried by adding a skin document to a page, but this doesn't work. So: 1. Is it possible to apply a skin to a page? How? 2. Is there any simpler way of using some new/different CSS definitions on a per-page basis? Thank you so much for your help, Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your EPEC Network ICT Team

Re: [xwiki-users] new skin example
by Hosam Hassan 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

Hello Riccardo, I was actually exactly like u a month ago and now I just finished my own skin:). I will try to give u some tips that might help you with the customization. First of all use the toucan skin as its very easy to customize its style. Download firebug http://www.getfirebug.com/ to use it with firefox. Using firebug you can simply using the mouse identify the location of each element in the CSS style file. After this you will need to change in the templates for the pages but I would say start and play around with firebug and try to change the style of the skin. Feel free to ask if u have any further questions. I know its painful in the beginning but its quiet easy after that. Cheers, Hosam Original Message: Hi Riccardo, riccardo grazioli wrote: > Hi, > I'm new to XWiki and Velocity too, > I don't understand how to set a new skin by the "Edit object" page. > > Can anyone help me to solve this issue? At the moment I'm trying to modify the Albatross skin by css... I know there is a better way to do this... but after I've read the guide I'm not able to do. > > I ask if someone can explain me by example... I do understand that it is not easy to understand how the whole thing work! Even because many features/structures are evolving in real time. But what is clear for me is that it is not a good idea to start by modifying the default skin. You will frequently, and easily, achieve results that you will want to conserve/use in your wiki. And it is by no means easy to make an update, which is usually needed to take advantage of new features, and keep track of the changes you have done in the default of base skins. Perhaps "Modifying a skin" in http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Skins is a bit messy, but it is a perfect starting point. Please, what have you done and at where are you stuck? I am sure we could find the right way of doing the job and modifying this reference document if needed.

[xwiki-users] Attachment Store Location
by Squirrel 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

Hi guys, As I understand from the archive, attachments are stored in the DB itself, is that correct? That's not very handy for my personal use. I have written an automated backup bash-script, which dumps all DB's from my MySQL-installation into a backup folder and store it there (a daily folder with the last 7 dumps, a weekly folder and a monthly) and pushes once a night the backup folder to a backup-server. Now if every attachment is stored into the DB, the DB will grow extensively (versioning?, picture album), while with an ordinary file-store system you just backup files, who have changed or are new....in my use scenario, attachments are way more stable than the actual content in the XWiki... Out of curiosity, what's exactly the benefit to store files in a DB? For the XWiki, is that the way you go or are you planning to implement a choice? Thanks!

[xwiki-users] Custom Default Skin Everywhere, Except Login Page
by Andrew Hughes 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

Hi All, I've changed my default skin to a custom skin. Once logged in all users on all pages get this default theme.... :) However, the login page has the albatross theme still. I've tried adding &skin=myskin on the end and that works brilliant. But that's not good behaviour. What am I missing in order to fix this? Thanks in Advance --Andrew
