[xwiki-users] How to use the ajaxSuggest
by PERINAUD Christophe 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

Hello all I would like to use the ajaxSuggest feature to help users inputting data in an input field of a form. I checked in the tagedit.vm how it works but i can't have a result. I create that : --- #set($script=$xwiki.getURL("Main.TestXML")+"?xpage=plain") <input type="text" name="project" value="" class="panelinput" style="margin:auto;" onfocus="new ajaxSuggest(this, {script:'${script}', varname: 'input', seps:'', offsety: 13} );"/><br> --- The page Main.TestXML is like that : --- $response.setContentType("text/xml") <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <results type="1"> <rs id="1" info="info1">valeur1</rs> <rs id="2" info="info2">valeur2</rs> <rs id="3" info="info3">valeur3</rs> </results> --- So when the user inputs something like "al", i would like to see the popup with the three values. I just got a javascript error saying "Object required" on the line with the input field Christophe Périnaud Windows Server 2003 SP2 in a VMWare instance Oracle 10g Java 1.6.0_12 Xwiki 1.8 from the pack Jetty/HSQL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail is intended only for the addressee named above.

[xwiki-users] How do I get a user to add himself to a group?
by Dean G Weber 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

I've been struggling for a while with the dilemma of getting a user into a group. Let me supply some background on what we've been trying to do with Xwiki. We're trying to use Xwiki for an internal collaborative site. Management has decided that users of the wiki must complete proper training. Without the training, the user cannot add to the wiki pages. For authentication, we've connected the wiki to our LDAP server via the xwik.cfg file. Authenticated users are automatically placed into the XWikiAllGroup by default. In order to accommodate management requirements, I created a new user group... let's call it "TrainedUsersGroup". Once authenticated, users are placed into the Webhome page of the wiki. I've placed Velocity script on the Webhome page to check if the user is in the TrainedUsersGroup. If the user is not in the group, the user is redirected to the NoAccess.WebHome page. On the NoAccess.Webhome page another check is made to determine if the user is in the TrainedUsersGroup. If the user is not in the group, a call is made to a Groovy class (on another page in the Groovy namespace). The groovy code executes a system call to grep on the Linux system running the Xwiki against a CSV file pulled from an intranet web report. The passed user's login (which is the same as the LDAP user id) is checked against this file. If the returned grep output shows that the training has been completed, the NoAccess.WebHome page will attempt to add the user to the TrainedUsersGroup. If the user is added to the TrainedUsersGroup as determined after another check, the user is redirected back to the originating WebHome page. This mechanism works great if the user accessing the pages is an admin. However, if the user is a regular user everything except the addition to the group works. Instead, the code to place the user in the group displays on the page. It does not run and put the user into the TrainedUsersGroup. This is no good for our needs in which we must restrict Xwiki access for non-trained users. (My original goal was to connect to our Oracle database and based upon the user id determine directly if the user has completed the training. I've had luck with a simple Groovy script running on my desktop and on the Linux server. However, from within the Xwiki Groovy console or on a page, I get no output. Therefore, I have abandoned the Oracle query check via Groovy.) I've been researching the Xwiki user list for weeks. I've poured over xwiki documentation. I've peeked at wiki page source. I've done all this in an attempt to figure out how to get a user to place himself into a group. I've found a lot of confusing and contradicting information. Programming rights are mentioned. The only place I found the ability to set this right was in the xwiki administration. I can't determine if the problem is even related to programming rights. I've put a debug statement on the NoAccess.WebHome page to print whether the user visiting the page has programming rights. In all cases it display that they do. Yet, only admins can add themselves to the TrainedUsersGroup. This doesn't work for me. I need to automatically add the visiting user to the TrainedUsersGroup once the training has been validated. What is the problem? Why won't the user go into the group? Is there a better way of doing this? Any help, code snippets or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

[xwiki-users] how to add a calculator to a xwiki-based site in one minute
by Niels Mayer 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

Jonathan -- See http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Sandbox/Calc and http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Sandbox/Calc?viewer=code ( http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/download/Sandbox/Calc/Sandbox.Calc.xar ) The above took about 1 minute to do, basically cutting and pasting the code as-is from the article below into a new document, adding one line at the beginning to get it to include the Javascript I pasted into XWiki.JavaScriptExtension[0] in the object editor and that's it). Let me know if you want help getting this example running on http://jonathanmayer.info (you're going to need to see me do the JavaScriptExtension trick at least once )... from there, you can add new functions or whatever to learn about javascript programming on the web. http://www.maconstateit.net/Tutorials/JSDHTML/JSDHTML09/jsdhtml09-05.htm A Simple Calculator Use of buttons to create a simple JavaScript calculator is demonstrated below. The "Calculator" button opens the calculator in a ModelessDialog window that remains on top while providing access to the underlying Web page. The layout below shows the same calculator with a "Formula" textbox that is normally hidden but is revealed here to show the calculations that take place behind the scenes. JavaScript Calculator Formula: *Figure 9-34.* A simple JavaScript calculator. The XHTML code and button event handlers are shown below. The calculator is formatted inside a table to control its layout. <table border="7"> <tr> <td colspan="4" style="font-family:comic sans ms; text-align:center; color:white; background-color:gray; font-size:9pt"> JavaScript Calculator </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3"><input id="Answer" type="text" style="width:100px; text-align:right"></td> <td><input type="button" style="width:30px" value="=" onclick="EnterEqual()"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="button" style="width:30px" value="1" onclick="EnterNumber(this.value)"></td> <td><input type="button" style="width:30px" value="2" onclick="EnterNumber(this.value)"></td> <td><input type="button" style="width:30px" value="3" onclick="EnterNumber(this.value)"></td> <td><input type="button" style="width:30px" value="+" onclick="EnterOperator(this.value)"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="button" style="width:30px" value="4" onclick="EnterNumber(this.value)"></td> <td><input type="button" style="width:30px" value="5" onclick="EnterNumber(this.value)"></td> <td><input type="button" style="width:30px" value="6" onclick="EnterNumber(this.value)"></td> <td><input type="button" style="width:30px" value="-" onclick="EnterOperator(this.value)"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="button" style="width:30px" value="7" onclick="EnterNumber(this.value)"></td> <td><input type="button" style="width:30px" value="8" onclick="EnterNumber(this.value)"></td> <td><input type="button" style="width:30px" value="9" onclick="EnterNumber(this.value)"></td> <td><input type="button" style="width:30px" value="*" onclick="EnterOperator(this.value)"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="button" style="width:30px" value="C" onclick="EnterClear()"></td> <td><input type="button" style="width:30px" value="0" onclick="EnterNumber(this.value)"></td> <td><input type="button" style="width:30px" value="." onclick="EnterNumber(this.value)"></td> <td><input type="button" style="width:30px" value="/" onclick="EnterOperator(this.value)"></td> </tr> </table> <input id="Formula" type="hidden"/> *Listing 9-22.* Code to format and style the calculator. Notice the final <input id="Formula" type="hidden"/> field. The type="hidden" attribute creates a standard textbox that is hidden from view. In the example above, this control is given the attribute type="text" in order to make it visible so you can see the formulas being created by the button clicks. Four functions are called by the buttons. All of the number keys call function EnterNumber(), passing the number value of the button; the arithmetic operator keys call function EnterOperator(), passing the operator symbol; the "=" key calls function EnterEqual(); and the "C" key calls function EnterClear(). <script type="text/javascript"> var op = false; var eq = false; function EnterNumber(Number) { if (op == false) { document.getElementById("Formula").value += Number; document.getElementById("Answer").value += Number; } else { document.getElementById("Answer").value = Number; op = false; if (eq == true) { document.getElementById("Formula").value = Number; eq = false; } else { document.getElementById("Formula").value += Number; } } } function EnterOperator(Operator) { if (document.getElementById("Formula").value != "") { document.getElementById("Answer").value = eval(document.getElementById("Formula").value); document.getElementById("Formula").value = eval(document.getElementById("Formula").value) + Operator; op = true; eq = false; } } function EnterEqual() { if (document.getElementById("Formula").value != "") { document.getElementById("Answer").value = eval(document.getElementById("Formula").value); document.getElementById("Formula").value = eval(document.getElementById("Formula").value); op = true; eq = true; } } function EnterClear() { document.getElementById("Answer").value = ""; document.getElementById("Formula").value = ""; op = false; eq = false; } </script> *Listing 9-23.* Script for the calculator.

[xwiki-users] Special Characters in Titel
by hel-o 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

Hi, I inserted Text "Text" in the title field of a page. When i edit the page again the "Text" part disappears. Tried other special characters (; @) and everything seems to work normal. So its only the " character that makes problems. (XWiki 1.8.4, syntax 2.0, language: german) Is there a way to have heading levels 3 or above also used as titel when the title field is empty? Thanks hel. ----- hel(a)hel.at -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Special-Characters-in-Titel-tp3024569p3024569.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
