[xwiki-users] support for google sitemaps and webmaster tools? (and why do xwiki RDF's give "unsupported file format"?)
by Niels Mayer 17 Mar '09

17 Mar '09

Has anybody figured out a way to get xwiki to generate a Google sitemap as an alternative to RSS feeds? (see http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/protocol.html ). Also, video sitemaps ( http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=80472&cbid=sw…) would be useful to index xwiki attachments and media on media search engines ( http://video.google.com/ ). Video sitemaps are predicated on MRSS: *Using an mRSS feed as a Video Sitemap* back to top<http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=80472&cbid=sw…> Google supports mRSS <http://search.yahoo.com/mrss>, an RSS module that supplements the element capabilities of RSS 2.0<http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html>to allow for more robust media syndication. If you publish an mRSS feed for the video content on your site, you can submit the feed's URL as a Sitemap. For detailed information on creating an mRSS feed, including samples and best practices, please see the Media RSS specification<http://search.yahoo.com/mrss>. Google also supports RSS 2.0 using enclosures tags for video content and thumbnail urls. **Sitemaps seem to use their own protocol: > *XML Sitemap Format* > > The Sitemap Protocol format consists of XML tags. All data values in a > Sitemap must be entity-escaped<https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/protocol.html#escaped>. > The file itself must be UTF-8 encoded. > > A sample Sitemap that contains just one URL and uses all optional tags is > shown below. The optional tags are in italics. > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <urlset <https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/protocol.html#urlsetdef> xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"> > <url <https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/protocol.html#urldef>> > <loc <https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/protocol.html#locdef>>http://www.example.com/</loc> > *<lastmod <https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/protocol.html#lastmoddef>>2005-01-01</lastmod> > <changefreq <https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/protocol.html#changefreqdef>>monthly</changefreq> > <priority <https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/protocol.html#prioritydef>>0.8</priority>* > </url> > </urlset> > > The Sitemap must: > > - Begin with an opening <urlset> tag and end with a closing </urlset>tag. > - Include a <url> entry for each URL as a parent XML tag. > - Include a <loc> child entry for each <url> parent tag. > > Niels http://nielsmayer.com PS: google sitemap support sounds like a good entry-level GSOC project. :-) Probably just a big hack to existing code in Main.WebRss?xpage=rdf and Main.BlogRss?xpage=rdf. Probably a 1 day project for someone that knows how.... PPS: why does http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebRss?xpage=rdfwork in many places, display correctly in firefox 3, but when used to generate a sitemap in google webmaster tools, it fails.

[xwiki-users] generalizing Radeox RSS:FEED macro in Xwiki
by Niels Mayer 17 Mar '09

17 Mar '09

(1) Create a stylesheet http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Macros/styledRSS?xpage=plain Which is a document http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Macros/styledRSS?viewer=code with following wikicode: > $response.setContentType("text/css") > {pre} > .rssfeed {border:0px!important;padding:0px!important;width:100%!important;} > {/pre} (2) Refer to that stylesheet wherever you want/need the RSS:FEED macro to appear sized to the container displaying it, e.g. to make a "Panel" display feed contents: <link rel="stylesheet" > href="$xwiki.getURL("Macros.styledRSS","view","xpage=plain")" > type="text/css" /> > #panelheader('Twitter Lyme') > {rss:feed= > http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=Lyme+Disease|count=5|img=false|full… > } > #panelfooter() > The results: http://morgellonswiki.info/xwiki/bin/view/Panels/Twitter+Lyme http://morgellonswiki.info/xwiki/bin/view/Panels/Twitter+Morgellons http://morgellonswiki.info/xwiki/bin/view/Panels/Google+News+Lyme http://morgellonswiki.info/xwiki/bin/view/Panels/Google+News+Morgellons (3) You can change the way your feed presents in your XWiki user page, e.g. http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/NielsMayer is done by placing the following in the "Description" field of the User document: <link rel="stylesheet" > href="$xwiki.getURL("Macros.styledRSS","view","xpage=plain")" > type="text/css" /> > {rss:feed= > http://nielsmayer.com/roller/NielsMayer/feed/entries/rss|count=50|img=true|… > } > (4) Using the same stylesheet hack along with documented information on the radeox RSS macro ( http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Macros/RssMacro ) one can assemble numerous feeds in one page, fully expanded, with space for images, etc: http://morgellonswiki.info/xwiki/bin/view/Main/FeedsOfInterest Niels http://nielsmayer.com

[xwiki-users] import administration enhancement/feature request
by Niels Mayer 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

In addition to selecting a xar and allowing a user to check to allow the xar's content to blindly overwrite the previous entry; add a third option "merge". When "merge" is selected, for that selected document, the diffs between the uploaded-xar and the current db are presented in a "mergediff-in-browser" style, allowing selection of original content from the db versus xar. clicking "ok" then collapses the diff and remembers the choices taken. When the user has either selected the xar files they want to import directly, or used the mergediff tool above to select the contents of the new file, they click "import" and it's done. Note that the "mergediff" files, create a new version, unlike the overwrite done by the current selected checkboxes in the import tool. Niels http://nielsmayer.com

[xwiki-users] XWiki Office 1.0 Milestone 1 and authentication
by Stevo Slavić 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

Hello all, I'm trying out XWiki Office 1.0 Milestone 1 and I'm experiencing issues with authentication. XWiki is on Tomcat, which is behind Apache HTTPD. SSO with Kerberos is configured, with fallback to basic authentication - all this doesn't seem to accept j_username and j_password XOffice plugin is sending (can see login requests in apache access log). Since login isn't successful, every next request from plugin results with "The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.". Has any similar setup/scenario been supported/tested, and if not, are there any plans? +1 for Office 2003 support +1 for OpenOffice plugin Regards, Stevo.

[xwiki-users] Changing XWiki to Read-only
by Samuel Lee 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

Is there any way to backup the user/group permissions, set the entire Xwiki to read only then revert to the original permissions at a later date? We are handing one of our XWiki to another team, and during the transition, we don't want any changes made to the XWiki during this transition process. Sam

In the ActivityData page i put this code and now i'm able to have statistics. I know it's temporary (poor database performances), but i hope it helps people having the same problem (sorry for the code quality, i'm sure it can be improved) : #set($pattern='yyyy.MM.dd') #set($step=86400000) #set($scope=$xwiki.criteriaService.scopeFactory.ALL_PAGES) #set($dtf = $xwiki.jodatime.getDateTimeFormatterForPattern($pattern)) #set($interval=$xwiki.criteriaService.rangeFactory.createAllRange()) 1 Current week activity #set($currentPeriod=$xwiki.criteriaService.periodFactory.currentWeek) #set($periodStart=$xwiki.jodatime.getDateTime($currentPeriod.start)) #set($periodEnd=$xwiki.jodatime.getDateTime($currentPeriod.end)) #set($datejour=$periodStart.getMillis()) #set($nbElt = ($periodEnd.getMillis() - $periodStart.getMillis()) / $step) {table} Date | Views | Edit #foreach($i in [1..7]) #set($datefinjour=$datejour + $step) #set($period=$xwiki.criteriaService.periodFactory.createPeriod($datejour,$datefinjour)) #set($stats=$xwiki.statsService.getDocumentStatistics("view",$scope,$period,$interval)) #set($totalViews=0) #if($stats.size() > 0) #foreach($item in $stats) #set($docStats = $xwiki.getDocument($item.name)) #if ($docStats) #set($totalViews=$totalViews+$item.pageViews) #end #end #end #set($stats=$xwiki.statsService.getDocumentStatistics("save",$scope,$period,$interval)) #set($totalSave=0) #if($stats.size() > 0) #foreach($item in $stats) #set($docStats = $xwiki.getDocument($item.name)) #if ($docStats) #set($totalSave=$totalSave+$item.pageViews) #end #end #end $dtf.print($datejour) | $totalViews | $totalSave #set($datejour=$datefinjour) #end {table} -----Message d'origine----- De : users-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:users-bounces@xwiki.org] De la part de Dilipkumar Jadhav Envoyé : mardi 10 mars 2009 12:43 À : users(a)xwiki.org Objet : Re: [xwiki-users] Stats module configuration Hello friends, I've tried placing the new xwiki-plugin-jodatime-1.3.jar.

[xwiki-users] problem of data persistence in xwiki forms
by zouheir cadi 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

Hi, I'm a user of the dedicated xwiki farm for Java User Groups. I have a noticed a very strange problem. I have created a form linked to a class. With this form I create and save some data. I have also told to users of our web site to create data (it is something like a registration). When I come back to my pages few days later, some of the data previously recorded are lost. Is there a problem of data saving (problem with hibernate sessions, ...) ? Zouheir CADI, Paris JUG Leader

[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
