[xwiki-users] XWiki XmlRpc help requested
by Dilipkumar Jadhav 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hello friends, I need a little help here with the XWiki XmlRpc API. I am able to connect to my xwiki instance using the Swizzle Confluence. However, I am currently able to only view contents of a particular page which I supply to the getPage() method. I would like to build a client which could fetch a list of pages based on hql queries (which XWiki supports internally). Could someone please guide me to a search method that could be used here (eg. search(query, maxinterval) ). I've tried pushing queries such as search("where doc.creator='XWiki.Admin", 10) but this results into an empty result list. It was mentioned on the http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XMLRPC that XWiki implements the most important part of the Confluence <http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Remote+API+Specification> XML-RPC API including Pages: retrieval, rendering, creation, history, update, search and removal. Could someone please please guide me as to what I might be doing wrong here. As always, any help would be much appreciated. import org.codehaus.swizzle.confluence.SpaceSummary; import org.codehaus.swizzle.confluence.Confluence; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.List; import java.util.Vector; public class ConfluenceExample { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { String username = "Admin"; String password = "admin"; String endpoint = "http://127.0.0.1:8080/xwiki/xmlrpc/confluence"; Confluence confluence = new Confluence(endpoint); confluence.login(username, password); String sql = "where doc.creator='XWiki.Admin'"; List searches = confluence.search(sql, 10); System.out.println(searches.size()); } } Regards, Dilipkumar Jadhav

[xwiki-users] Strange new Users on my XWiki
by Andreas Schaefer 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hi I just realized that I have a bunch of new users all created with the same first and last name. I saw one with the same name 'Kunstkamera' being created also on the XWiki.org (or at least I thought so). Any idea what is going on. Is there someone trying to spam XWiki's and is there anything to be of concern as an administrator? Which leads me to another concern: Every Import of the Enterprise XAR file is reseting the Admin password to the default. Is there anyway to prevent that because in the heat of the upgrade procedure that gets easily overlooked ? Cheers - Andy

Re: [xwiki-users] Trying to create migration path from moinmoin to xwiki
by cj91-3 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hi Everyone, New to XWiki and we're trying to come up with a migration strategy. Our old wiki is an ancient version of moinmoin. We can develop a file parser for the old moinmoin documents on the filesystem quite easily. The syntax to XWiki is similar, so a couple of regexes will have the conversion process underway. We're not really concerned with preserving the wiki history, although that would be nice. The big problem is, how do we load the pages into XWiki? Is there a webservice or some sort of API for XAR files available? Thank you! -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Trying-to-create-migration-path-from-moinmoin-to-xwiki… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Color Theme Changes Ignored in 2.0.2
by Andreas Schaefer 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hi I upgraded to 2.0.2 without a problem (http://madplanet.com/xwiki) The only issue I encountered so far is that I am not able to change the 'Color Theme' in the Administration -> Presentation even though I use the Colibri skin as my default skin. This does not work for the entire Wiki nor for a particular Space. That said I can access the Color Themes in the ColorThemes space and the look and feel looks right. Any idea why? Thanks - Andy

Thanks for your response Guillaume & Sergiu. I changed the ColorTheme space to be viewable by Guests. That did resolve the original issue. And it happened just in time :)

[xwiki-users] Windows 7 - Account Renders XWiki Inoperable
by Orion 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

I recently transitioned not only from MediaWiki to XWiki, but an older computer running Windows Vista (Ultimate x64) to my present PC, operating on Windows 7 (Ultimate x64). The reasons for the change and system specs should, I believe, be irrelevant in this case for the following reasons: * I was able to install XWiki for All Users without a hitch * XWiki runs perfectly while logged into the Administrator (aka, the hidden "Super Administrator") account Therein, however, is the problem: XWiki runs only in the Administrator account. The MS-DOS Prompt reads as such while in the Admin-account... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2009-10-27 14:41:20.279: :INFO: Logging to

[xwiki-users] Livetable tag cloud modification
by Dilipkumar Jadhav 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Hello all, Background: We're trying to build a searchable user directory of XWiki users where people can be searched by specialty. The deal here is that each user who contributes to the wiki is good at something and we wanted other users to be able to find contributors by their specialty in case they need some help. XWiki Feature: We are using the livetable user directory example provided on the xwiki.org website & it works great. However, users are adding their specialty through the tags on their own profile pages. This too is searchable using the livetable macro option to enable a tagcloud. Concern/Issue: Our user base is currently a few hundred and is expected to grow rapidly soon. Each user has some tags to add to his profile which leads to a lot of tags in the tagcloud right above the livetable. Also, the page loading has become very slow since the entire tag cloud is loading along with the livetable. Possible Solution: Could it be possible to use the ajax suggest to type in these "specialty" tags rather than display an entire tag cloud on the livetable page. The single tag textbox would provide the search criteria to the livetable document filtering process. Alternatively, could someone please help me with the search query for pulling up pages with XWiki.XWikiUsers objects by using values of XWiki.Tags objects on the same document. I've looked up queries for hql searches & unable to find one which crosses multiple classes . Most queries are searches based on objects of one class only. (Can we have 2 BaseObjects, let's say obj1 & obj2 to represent the two different object types embedded in the same document). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Dilipkumar Jadhav

[xwiki-users] Colibri skin inaccessible when unregistered users blocked
by Dilipkumar Jadhav 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Hello all, We've been trying to setup wiki access rights in a manner that only registered users can access pages. As a result, we blocked any unregistered user from either viewing or editing pages without a login. This was due to the fact that we were trying to setup a feedback mechanism where it was important to know who gives the feedback. However, due to these access right changes, the Colibri skin themes applied from the presentation control panel no longer work. The default Colibri theme (with the gray background) is what comes up. I am assuming this is due to the fact that the themes too are pages in the wiki (with the Colibri skin & ColorTheme space being introduced) & blocking everyone out from viewing/editing pages will apply the same access rights to the ColorTheme space. The strange part is when a user does login, still the skin remains the default one and doesn't change to the theme set in the presentation panel. Could anyone please recommend a workaround to this. Thank you for your time & consideration. Regards, Dilipkumar Jadhav
