[xwiki-users] It's time to tell us what you're looking for!
by Guillaume Lerouge 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Hi fellow XWikiers, While celebrating XWiki's 5th birthday last week, we spent a couple days brainstorming with the full team about where XWiki stands today and what its future holds. We came up with a long list of features and ideas and we'd love to get community feedback before deciding in which direction we're going to move forward once our 2.0 release is out. To this aim, we've built a survey that we'd like our users and developers to take. It's a bit long though definitely worth the pain. We're eagerly waiting for your feedback to start working on new and existing features. You can access and fill the survey at the following address: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/SurveyXWikiFeatures Thanks a lot for your time, Guillaume on behalf of the XWiki Team -- Guillaume Lerouge Product Manager - XWiki Skype: wikibc Twitter: glerouge http://guillaumelerouge.com/

[xwiki-users] problems changing back encoding to ISO-8859-1
by Matthias.Gsottberger＠o2.com 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi! We have a problem with the encoding of special characters like german umlauts since XWiki Enterprise 1.9.2.22089. In earlier 1.8 versions of xWiki we had no problem with the encoding still you changed the default encoding to UTF-8. Our Database Encoding is set to ISO-8859-1 and we cannot change this. We tried to change the encoding parameters in following files without success: xwiki.cfg: xwiki.encoding = ISO-8859-1 web.xml: <filter> <init-param> <param-name>encoding</param-name> <param-value>ISO-8859-1</param-value> </init-param> </filter> hibernate.cfg.xml: <property name="connection.useUnicode">false</property> <property name="connection.characterEncoding">ISO-8859-1</property> What else should we change to save special characters properly ? Thanks in advance Matthias Gsottberger

[xwiki-users] XEM : domain name error when creating a new wiki
by Gaëtan GUYODO 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi, I had to create a new wiki, and unfortunately I made a mistake : name : test description : blabla domain name : I put here the main wiki domain name (the one I use to create and manage others wikis)... Now, I can't access to my main wiki (pages doesn't exists) nor the test wiki. Is there any way to repair that ? I have full access to the database. Gaëtan

[xwiki-users] Enable statistics on a virtual xwiki instance
by Liniger Pascal 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi folks I would like to enable statistics on one of my virtual wikis. I've configured my xwiki.cfg like this: ----- xwiki.stats=1 xwiki.stats.default=0 ---- and now i need to enable statistics for one of my virtual wikis. In the xwiki documentation is written that you can enable statistics if you set the statistics field in Xwiki.XwikiPreferences. Quote: "A wiki can decide whether Statistics is on/off by setting the "statistics" field in XWiki.XWikiPreferences. If no such field is defined the the default value xwiki.stats.default is used. " But how can i set this field? I'm running XWiki Enterprise 1.7.21212 and can't find a statistics field in my administration panel. I also tried to edit the XWiki.XwikiPreferences page in class mode and added a boolean property called "statistics" and set the value to true. Do you have any advice for me how to enable statistics on my virtual wiki? As an alternative I could also enable stats for all of my wikis by setting the xwiki.stats.default parameter to true but i would prefer to enable the statistics just for one wiki. Thanks for your help. Regards Pascal

I have written a class to attach some property to my page. Now I see that I can query xwiki to retrive only document with a specified property values. Can I pass this query, or filters to document tree plugin via getDocumentTree() command? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Document-tree-filter-tp3366868p3366868.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] LDAP subscription
by Geoffroy Carrier 01 Aug '09

01 Aug '09

Hello, I'm volunteering as a technician and hoster for the design-platform.org collaborative project. We are seriously considering using to the XEM platform, in particular for its internalization and multi-wiki support, and its nice WYSIWYG editor. A major feature we are looking for is LDAP support; however, I didn't find any information about LDAP subscription. The objective is to create LDAP accounts for all subscriptions on the wiki, and completely avoid XWiki-only subscriptions. Is this feature already available? If yes, do you have any pointers to documentation and/or source code? If not, do you have any thoughts on an efficient way to alter XE to enable it? Thank you in advance, -- Geoffroy Carrier

[xwiki-users] SOLUTION to a bug in Chronopolys: calendar for schedule doens't display to users out of Admin.
by wiki wiki 01 Aug '09

01 Aug '09

Hello, This is the answer (translated from french) that I got from Xwiki developement team regarding the calendar/schedule problem which doesn't display if you're NOT logged as Admin, meaning as an user. QUOTE The bug you found with the schedule/calendar is known to our development team: It is related to a problem from the translation of the calendar items. The workaround is as follows: - Go to the form of a user' profile as global Admin (Admin / admin is the default account, for example) - Click "Edit" "Objects" in the top left - You then come to a window where you have menus that unfold, click on XWiki.XWikiUsers and change the field "Chronolanguage" to "English" Handling is of course to each user. We probably releases a version fixing this bug but I can not offer that yet. UNQUOTE Best regards

[xwiki-users] Several questions and help needed on Chronopolys (allow comments & attachments, future upgrade, display avatar for user)
by wiki wiki 01 Aug '09

01 Aug '09

Hi, We are planning to use Chronopolys as our project management. We tried hard before sending this email to resolve the issues we faced. Here they are. 1/ How to allow comments and document attachments in wiki page under the workgroup? A/--> In the PLOG section you can comment article, but you cannot comment wiki pages under a work group in the Wiki section. B/--> Although it is already possible to attach documents in the workgroup (in Documents section), our users need to attach document in the wiki page in the workgroup in order to provide them a "context". C/-->We also expect to be able to comment the attached documents. 2/ How to allow comments and attachments (image for avatar) on the user' page? A/ We would like to allow user to easily upload image(s) into their page profile and display it as their avatar. 3/ Coming upgrade? We do believe Chronopolys is the true missing link between Project management and wiki. Although this application remains partially bugged (ex: ajax calendar, relatively slow on ajax functions ), it is still on the top of the list according to us (out of zoho project 2.0). However, Chronopolys needs an upgrade since the plateform is becoming old. Any development planned? Best regards,
