[xwiki-users] top navigation bar on toucan skin is flickering/flashing while scrolling
by Henning Sprang 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Hi, A thing that I already recognized since a long time, but now it affects me more because I really start using xwiki in production, daily, and look more often in the documentation on the .org website: On Ubuntu Linux with firefox (3.0.6), the administration/navigation bar on top of every xwiki page is flickering a lot when scrolling hte page instead of just keep being there as it is probably intended. it keeps there in the end, but it flashes heavily, which makes me very nervous and is bad for the eyes. On my own site I change is by making albatross the default - here it works poerfectly as intended. The bar is always there but no flickering at all when scrolling. I see, the problem doiesn't happen with Opera on UBuntu so I can work around it, but sure I'd rather like to use firefox. Am I the only one experiencing this? Did somebody try to look into this ? At a glance I see no great difference between the css settings of the two skins that could make this effect happen, but I'll look further into it.

[xwiki-users] organize vote with XWiki
by pkernevez 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Hi, We are using XWiki for the http://jugl.ch JUGL . We want that all users would be able to add new subjects and vote on already purpose subjects. At this time we are using doodles, it works fine for the votes but all participants can't add new subject to the list. Is there a better way using XWiki and its plugins for our meeting organisation ? Thanks, Philippe -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/organize-vote-with-XWiki-tp2358524p2358524.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Forgot UserName / Password pages not working
by Henning Sprang 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

Hi, another problem I am currently facing with my new xwiki installation: There is a link "forgot username/password" on the login page. it looks like this: http://myhost/bin/XWiki/ResetPassword But when I click on it (as an not-logged-in user), I always get redirected to the Login page - no possibility to enter an email adresse or username to get a reminder as it's normally the case. What am I doing wrong? Henning -- Henning Sprang http://www.sprang.de | http://lazyb0y.blogspot.com/

[xwiki-users] security concern: XWikiGuest rolling back versions
by Yishay Mor 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

This has happened a few times on http://patternlanguagenetwork.myxwiki.org/, and I can't explain it. I set the access rights to allow view by all, but edit is restricted. I'm seeing documents rolled back to older versions by XWikiGuest. Example: http://patternlanguagenetwork.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Patterns/tabletopc… ___________________________ 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] Problems with Email verification
by Henning Sprang 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

Hi, I want to require users to register and verify for an existing email adress before being allowed to write comments - to prevent spam. So, I set "Use email verification " to yes in the wiki registration preferences. But there are two problems: 1) the newly registered user can edit and write comments without properly verifying the email address. 2) The registration mail is not correctly showing the link to registration. It seems to show the plain velocity template, like this: Subjec: Validate your account on $wikiname Hello my user, This email address was used to register a new account on ${wikiname}. If you did not make the request, please ignore this message. In order to activate your account, please follow this link: $xwiki.getDocument("XWiki.AccountValidation").getExternalURL("view", "validkey=${validkey}&xwikiname=${xwikiname}") Any idea what I could be doing wrong? -- Henning Sprang http://www.sprang.de | http://lazyb0y.blogspot.com/

[xwiki-users] Directory permissions
by Sean Davis 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

I probably just missed this in the documentation, but I have installed xwiki-1.8.... into a tomcat container. What are the preferred directory permissions in this setup? I'm new to both web containers (moving over from python) and xwiki, so a simple link may be the answer. Thanks, Sean

[xwiki-users] permissions/rights for printing
by Henning Sprang 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

Hi, We decided to write an online book by using xWiki as the authoring system. While we want to make it freely available, we'd like to restrict pdf and other printable output apart from plain html. (we might want to sell pdf outputs later, with watermarks, but that would be a different story - and we will probably go via Latex then). But current permissions seem only to make a distinction between view(including html, pdf, rtf, xml, ...) and edit. How would we go to add such a "print" right, and even differentiate pdf and .xar and other there? Thanks in advance, Henning -- Henning Sprang http://www.sprang.de | http://lazyb0y.blogspot.com/
