[xwiki-users] How can I upgrade XWIKI from an older Version?
by Arnaud bourree 01 Jan '10

01 Jan '10

Hello, I've XWiki 2.0rc2 instance and I want to update to 2.0.5 version. I find empty FAQ here: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/WhoCanIUpdateXWIKIFromAnOlderVersion I'd like to update it on myself experience. But before I've one question at the end of my email on xar import. 1st/ re-deploy war (easy part) By chance we didn't update any files excepted xwiki.cfg and hibernate.cfg.xml. So I did the following: - zip current webapp/xwiki folder - remove webapp/xwiki folder - deploy xwiki-enterprise-web-2.0.5.war in webapp/xwiki - report my old xwiki.cfg and hibernate.cfg.xml configuration to the new one 2nd/ import xar (difficulties start here) First, I import the full xar without any question: whao, everything is broken. Do not forget to backup your database before upgrade! After restoration, I decide to write a small script based on curl to export same xar as the one I want to import: #!/bin/bash XWIKI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080 if [[ $# -ne 2 ]]; then echo usage $0 login password exit 1 fi EXPORT_XAR="?format=xar&name=Current" for page in `jar tvf xwiki-enterprise-wiki-2.0.5.xar | sed -ne "/\/.*xml/{s/.*\s$\S\+$\/$\S\+$.xml/\1.\2/ p}"`; do EXPORT_XAR="${EXPORT_XAR}&pages=${page}" done curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -d"j_username=$1&j_password=$2&j_rememberme=true&submit=Log-in" ${XWIKI_BASE_URL}/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt ${XWIKI_BASE_URL}/xwiki/bin/export/Main/WebHome${EXPORT_XAR} -o Current.xar Whatever I used the best diff tool (Beyond Compare IMHO), it is not so easy to check if difference are good or not: I need other way. Thanks to RESTful API, I write a second script which check page version: version 1.1 was never updated from previous xar version: #!/bin/bash XWIKI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080 for page in `jar tvf xwiki-enterprise-wiki-2.0.5.xar | sed -ne "/\/.*xml/{s/.*\s$\S\+$\/$\S\+$.xml/\1\/pages\/\2/ p}"`; do version=`curl -s -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt ${XWIKI_BASE_URL}/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/$page | sed -ne "/version/{s/.*version>$.*$<\/version.*/\1/ p}"` if [[ $version != "1.1" ]]; then echo $page $version UPDATED fi done Cool, only 8 updated pages: Main/pages/WebHome 144.1 UPDATED XWiki/pages/XWikiUserSheet 4.1 UPDATED XWiki/pages/XWikiAdminGroup 4.2 UPDATED XWiki/pages/XWikiPreferences 78.1 UPDATED XWiki/pages/LiveTableResults 2.1 UPDATED XWiki/pages/XWikiAllGroup 34.1 UPDATED XWiki/pages/WebPreferences 3.2 UPDATED XWiki/pages/LiveTableResultsMacros 2.1 UPDATED All other pages can be updated without any check :-D 6 pages of 8 should be not updated: - Main.WebHome: it is our own main page - XWiki.AdminGroup and XWikiAllGroup: list Admin users and users - XWiki.XWikiUserSheet, we apply a patch to display user contribution: not updated - XWiki.LiveTableResults and XWiki.LiveTableResultsMacros, I check with my diff tool: there is a tag object inside.should not updated it. But I block on XWiki.XWikiPreferences and XWiki.WebPreferences. I want our own preferences, I should not update But new preferences may be added My diff tool find them too different. Could I keep my old preferences or do I have to merge? Regards, Arnaud.

[xwiki-users] how to prevent xwiki 2.X colibri skin from displaying db-name of virtual wiki host in top-menu
by Niels Mayer 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

For some reason, I chose db-names for my virtual hosts that were descriptive, but ugly and not meant to be seen in the UI. Unfortunately, in Xwiki Enterprise 2.X, the new colibri skin exposes this name e.g. "host_xe_foo_dot_com" on the left-hand-side top-menu. As a quick hack to suppress this new feature, I cloned "colibri" into a new skin "exlibri" (runner up names: NorwegianBlue and DeadParrot :-) ) and changed colibri.css ROOT-golem-85-.../java/xe-210> diff -c skins/exlibri/colibri.css.~1~ skins/exlibri/colibri.css *** skins/exlibri/colibri.css.~1~ 2009-12-08 17:37:58.000000000 -0800 --- skins/exlibri/colibri.css 2009-12-31 13:55:51.082007773 -0800 *************** *** 916,921 **** --- 916,926 ---- text-transform: uppercase; } + /* NPM: get rid of annoying ServerHost name, leaving all other top-menus the same */ + div#tmWiki a.tme strong { + display: none; + } + .actionmenu .hasIcon a.tme { padding-left: 20px; } Niels http://nielsmayer.com

[xwiki-users] Xeclipse plugin : the Eclipse Navigator don't show the pages
by et 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

Hi everybody, I've a problem with Xeclipse Plugin (xwiki-eclipse-feature-1.2-rc-1). The connection to xwiki is OK If I do a refresh in the navigator, the list of spaces appears, but no pages inside. For each space I've this error : Cannot find navigator content extension (using triggerPoints) for object "org.xwiki.eclipse.core.model.XWikiEclipseSpaceSummary@1d501c5c" parent path: "org.xwiki.eclipse.core.DataManager@1c10945d". Check that you have an expression for this object in a navigatorContent triggerPoints or enablement. I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.2 and Eclipse Galileo. Any idea ? Thanks, Emmanuel -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Xeclipse-plugin-the-Eclipse-Navigator-don-t-show-the-p… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Add imported users to XWikiAllGroup
by Gerritjan Koekkoek 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

Hi, I notice that when you import a XAR file with 'users' these users are not automatically added to XWikiAllGroup? Is this by design, and if so how do you restore them as members of this group (have > 100 users) Is there a script or macro to add users to a group? Gerritjan

[xwiki-users] default xwiki classes
by Gerritjan Koekkoek 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Hi, Is there a reference document describing the default classes of xwiki I'm specifically interested in XWiki.XWikiUsers. In the version we have developped in (1.6) i see a property (or class attribute) Country In the new version 2.1.1 I do not see that property (or attribute) Is this because our developer has customized the class in 1.6 or does the class editor not show all the properties of the class in 2.1.1 ?

They are not using XWiki... yet! Cheers, Ricardo -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Obo-discuss] CFP: The Future of the Web for Collaborative Science (FWCS 2010) at WWW'10 Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2009 16:10:54 +0000 From: Jun Zhao <jun.zhao(a)zoo.ox.ac.uk> Reply-To: obo-discuss(a)lists.sourceforge.net To: undisclosed-recipients:; [apologies for cross-posting] ================================================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS - International Workshop on The Future of the Web for Collaborative Science 2010 ================================================================================================= The First International Workshop on The Future of the Web for Collaborative Science (http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLS/WWW2010/Workshop) co-located with WWW'10, April 27 or 28 2010, Raleigh, NC, USA --------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION The Web was originally invented with the physics community in mind, but rapidly expanded to include other scientific disciplines, in particular the health care and life sciences. By the mid 1990s the Web was already being used to share data by biomedical professionals and bioinformaticians. The Web continues to be immensely important to these fields, however use cases have expanded considerably. Researchers are now looking to share extremely large data sets on the Web, extract insights from vast numbers of papers cross sub-disciplines, and use social networking tools to aggregate data and engage in scientific discussion. Furthermore, individuals are beginning to store their medical records online, and some are sharing their genetic makeup in a bid to find others with a similar profile. These use cases are pushing the boundaries of what is currently possible with the Web. This half-day workshop will present how scientists are currently using the Web, and discuss the functionality that is required to make the Web an ideal platform for both cutting edge scientific collaboration and for managing health care related data. The goals of this workshop are the following: * Foster innovation in applying the latest web technologies to collaborative HCLS * Explore HCLS specific requirements for collaborating on the web, e.g. trust, privacy, intellectual property, knowledge management, and the scale and diversity of data * Learn about the latest developments in data modeling, tools and technologies for web-based collaborative science * Bridge communication and knowledge transfer between the HCLS and web communities --------------------------------------------------- TOPICS FOR PAPER SUBMISSION We would encourage submission of papers covering the following topics: * Web 2.0 applications for large, heterogeneous and complex data sets * Models for collaborative scientific annotations * Tools and applications for aggregating information across web sites * Provenance, attribution, trust, and intellectual property * Policy for data access, sharing, and anonymization We seek three kinds of submissions: * Full technical papers: up to 10 pages * Short technical and position papers: up to 5 pages * Demo description: up to 2 pages --------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSIONS Submitted papers will be refereed by at least three members the Program Committee. Accepted papers will be published on the workshop web site. All submissions must be formatted using the WWW2010 templates (http://www2010.org/www/authors/submissions/formatting-guidelines/) The address for the online submission system will be published shortly. --------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES: * Submission deadline- February 15, 2010 * Notification of acceptance - March 8, 2010 * Camera-ready version - March 22, 2010 * Workshop date - April 27 or 28, 2010 --------------------------------------------------- Workshop Chairs Jun Zhao, Oxford University Kei Cheung, Yale University M. Scott Marshall, Leiden University Medical Center / University of Amsterdam Eric Prud'hommeaux, W3C Susie Stephens, Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development --------------------------------------------------- Programme Committee * Christopher Baker, University of New Brunswick * John Breslin, GUI Galway * Simon Buckingham Shum, Open University * Annamaria Carusi, Oxford University * Helen Chen, Agfa Healthcare * Paolo Ciccarese, Harvard University * Tim Clark, Harvard Medical School * Anita de Waard, Elsevier * Michel Dumontier, Carleton University * Lee Feigenbaum, Cambridge Semantics * Timo Hannay, Nature * William Hayes, BiogenIdec * Ivan Herman, W3C * Vipul Kashyap, Cigna * Nikesh Kotecha, Stanford University * Phil Lord, University of Newcastle * Robin McEntire, Merck * Parsa Mirhaji, University of Texas * Mark Musen, Stanford University * Vit Novacek, DERI * Alex Passant, DERI * Elgar Pichler, AstraZeneca * Rosalind Reid, Harvard University * Patrick Ruch, University of Applied Sciences Geneva * Daniel Rubin, Stanford * Matthias Samwald, DERI, Ireland // Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research, Austria * Susanna Sansone, EBI * Nigam Shah, Stanford University * Amit Sheth, Wright State University ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Obo-discuss mailing list Obo-discuss(a)lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/obo-discuss

May I kindly ask for any hint? Thanks a lot mb
