[xwiki-users] Panel Wizard doesn't show it
by Antonio Goncalves 15 Mar '09

15 Mar '09

Hi, I'm using XE 1.6.2 / XEM 1.4.1 and when I click on the Panel Wizard it just doesn't show up. I click on the link, but nothing happens. Is there a way to skip the wizard and set up the panels layout manually like the previous versions of XWiki ? Thanks, Antonio

[xwiki-users] Images in links
by Lewis Denizen 14 Mar '09

14 Mar '09

Hi xwiki-users, In XWiki Syntax 1.0, I was able to do something like this: <a href="${documentURLRoot}"><img src="$xwiki.getSkinFile('icons/black-file.png')" alt="Root URL" title="Root URL" /></a> This would render an icon from the current skin as a link. I understand that in XWiki Syntax 2.0, there's a new form of this available: [[image:Space.Wiki@picture.png>>${documentURLRoot}]] This works if the image exists in your document as an attachment, but doesn't work when the image link is relative to your web context: [[image:$xwiki.getSkinFile('icons/black-file.png')>>${documentURLRoot}]] This renders as the following: <a href="http://www.google.com/"> <img alt="/xwiki/skins/albatross/icons/black%2Dfile.png" class="wikimodel-freestanding" src="/xwiki/bin/download/XWiki/WebHome/%2Fxwiki%2Fskins%2Falbatross%2Ficons%2Fblack%252Dfile.png"/> </a> which is not what I expected... One workaround is to put an explicit "http://server-name:port/" before the $xwiki.getSkin() call, but that ties the wiki to the server's address/port. One other interesting thing I found out was that: {{velocity}} {{html wiki=true}} * this works - [[image: http://localhost:8080/$xwiki.getSkinFile('icons/black-file.png')]] * this doesn't work - <img src=$xwiki.getSkinFile('icons/black-file.png')> {{/html}} {{/velocity}} It seems that the HTML Macro's final filter parses this last test case as 1 BulletedListBlock and 1 XMLBlock, but I'm not sure if this the expected behavior. If this is the expected behavior, the more need to get the [[image:]] tag working... Thanks again for the great job!

Weird little problem. I am trying to purge my xwiki of a lot of users who have left. But when I delete the user, go to another part of the XWiki and come back to the users page, all my deletions are magically back. I'm logged in as Admin. Any ideas? Sam

[xwiki-users] XEclipse: New XStream bugfix version?
by grinko 12 Mar '09

12 Mar '09

Hello, I've been trying to use the latest Xeclipse (both standalone and plugin) for some Velocity scripting, but a weird bug renders it unusable for me. When I try to open my page, it opens fine and is cached on the HDD. If I close the page and reopen it (or close eclipse) and try to open the cached page again, I get a com.thoughtworks.xstream.io.StreamException Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence. This seems to be an already resolved problem ( http://markmail.org/message/syf6cpe4vcne4tca) so how can I update the XStream version in XEclipse, or is a bugfix release already in the works? Thanks in advance!

[xwiki-users] Translation Volunteers needed
by Ludovic Dubost 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

Hi, Guillaume (Lerouge) has done incredible work to transform all hardcoded strings in XWiki Enterprise to translations strings. We now have 620 translations strings more !!!! So we need all the help we can to get these translated before 1.8 final. I think we can achieve the following languages: French: 622 translations to do German: 629 translations to do Romanian: 1516 translations to do French and German were complete before we added the 620 more translations, and Romanian we HAVE to be able to do it with the number of romanians in the team ! Guillaume will coordinate the French translation. We need a volunteer from the Romanian team to coordinate the Ro translation. Let me know if there are volunteers to coordinate the translations effort in Geman or other languages before the final 1.8 release.

[xwiki-users] XWiki and Kerberos SSO: authorization checks fail
by Stevo Slavić 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

Hello all, I'm trying to configure Kerberos SSO using AppServerTrustedAuthServiceImpl. I'm using latest xwiki, 1.8 rc 1 and to the contrary of what Admin Guide for Authentication states, this class is included in xwiki-core module. Nevertheless, I've configured application server well and set AppServerTrustedAuthServiceImpl to be used. Problem is that user authorization checks fail. In debug log I saw that user creation was started but auth_createuser context param was empty/null and thus not equal to string "empty" which createUser of XWikiAuthServiceImpl expects, so user wouldn't actually get created and thus when XWikiRightServiceImpl. To set auth_createuser parameter to "empty" I've adjusted xwiki.cfg by adding xwiki.authentication.createuser=empty. If this is what really has to be done, it would be good that Admin Guide gets updated with this information. After setting createuser to "empty", debug log changed but just a little bit (see attached log archive). Now it seems that user is being created but it still has no access rights. Does someone have any ideas how to configure this to work? Thanks in advance! Regards, Stevo.

[xwiki-users] Translating shortcuts
by Hernández Cuchí, Francisco Ricardo 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

Hello All, I've been translating a little, and I found that there are shortcuts to be translated. I wanted to validate with no change, but they are still in the list of empty translations. Why do you want the shortcuts to be translated? Why Validate with no change do not work (or maybe I didn't understood the term)? The language is the Spanish one.

Hi xwiki-users! Our xwiki is in version 0.9.543 and we need a working upgrade path. But it seems that all our effort end up in a non operational state. Currently i try to get working the stable XWiki Enterprise 1.7.2. After installing, importing the xar, copying the database and starting tomcat, it does a lot of conversions. All I get afterwards is an exception report: root cause com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 3 in 0: Could not initialize main XWiki context Wrapped Exception: Error number 3201 in 3: Exception while saving document XWiki.XWikiPreferences Wrapped Exception: java.lang.String com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.getMainXWiki(XWiki.java:326) [...] In the logfile a probably wrong sql statement can be found: insert into xwikipreferences (XWP_LANGUAGE, XWP_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE, XWP_MULTI_LINGUAL, XWP_AUTHENTICATE_EDIT, XWP_AUTHENTICATE_VIEW, XWP_AUTH_ACTIVE_CHECK, XWP_BACKLINKS, XWP_SKIN, XWP_STYLESHEET, XWP_STYLESHEETS, XWP_EDITOR, XWP_EDITBOX_WIDTH, XWP_EDITBOX_HEIGHT, XWP_WEBCOPYRIGHT, XWP_TITLE, XWP_VERSION, XWP_MENU, XWP_META, XWP_USE_EMAIL_VERIFICATION, XWP_SMTP_SERVER, XWP_ADMIN_EMAIL, XWP_VALIDATION_EMAIL_CONTENT, XWP_CONFIRMATION_EMAIL_CONTENT, XWP_INVITATION_EMAIL_CONTENT, XWP_MACROS_LANGUAGE, XWP_MACROS_VELOCITY, XWP_MACROS_GROOVY, XWP_MACROS_WIKI2, XWP_MACROS_MAPPING, XWP_NOTIFICATION_PAGES, XWP_LEFT_PANELS, XWP_RIGHT_PANELS, XWP_SHOW_LEFT_PANELS, XWP_SHOW_RIGHT_PANELS, XWP_PAGE_WIDTH, XWP_LANGUAGES, XWP_REGISTRATION_ANONYMOUS, XWP_REGISTRATION_REGISTERED, XWP_EDIT_ANONYMOUS, XWP_EDIT_REGISTERED, XWP_COMMENT_ANONYMOUS, XWP_COMMENT_REGISTERED, XWP_DOCUMENT_BUNDLES, XWP_ID) values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?) com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 3201 in 3: Exception while saving document XWiki.XWikiPreferences Wrapped Exception: java.lang.String at com.xpn.xwiki.store.XWikiHibernateStore.saveXWikiDoc(XWikiHibernateStore.java:590) at com.xpn.xwiki.store.XWikiCacheStore.saveXWikiDoc(XWikiCacheStore.java:135) at com.xpn.xwiki.store.XWikiCacheStore.saveXWikiDoc(XWikiCacheStore.java:128) Can someone give me a helping hand, please?

[xwiki-users] Help with "balloon styled" tooltips
by Dilipkumar Jadhav 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Hello friends, I am here to request help on embedding a balloon styled tooltip in our XWiki instance. I have had a fair amount of success in embedding various third party javascript libraries, however, the ones that depend on jquery do not seem to work through XWiki. I did go through an article which guides us through creating tooltips and custom validations in forms. Our requirement, however, is to have a balloon styled tooltip that can hold images, text (generally info) about the link that the user is about to visit if s/he were to click on it. Our users are having a hard time navigating the pages since they move from page to page assuming that the next page that they are about to visit is the one where they will find their answers. It is also not possible to load the current page with too much info about the links that they are about to visit (as this will lead to cluttered pages). Could someone be kind enough to guide me through embedding a tooltip that "pops-up" when the user hovers the mouse over a link. Or maybe there is plugin for it already which i might have missed. Thank you for your time and interest friends.
