[xwiki-users] 'Link that opens in a new page' not working
by BrianJones 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Hello again, I'm trying to create a link on a page that leads the user to the 'User Guide' provided by XWiki.org. Following the syntax guide found at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/XWikiSyntax#HLinks http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/XWikiSyntax#HLinks for a 'Link that opens in a new page', for the XWiki Syntax 1.0, I have created a link like this: [User Guide>_http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/UserGuide] However, when I click on this link: 1) it does not open a new window or tab 2) it transfers me to the 'homepage' (Main.WebHome) of my XWiki site, instead of the actual link destination Can anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Such a silly question, I know, but any help would be appreciated. Cheers -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/%27Link-that-opens-in-a-new-page%27-not-working-tp1470… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [xwiki-users] Can't get XWiki to work with Oracle
by Nikos Georgosopoulos 11 Nov '09

11 Nov '09

What I have discovered is that this is happening when I try to use an Oracle user other than "xwiki". Somehow the code to run the initialization oracle script has been bound to this user. It is a problem cause you can never have two different xwiki installations working with the same oracle SID (i.e. on the same instance of oracle XE). anyone that can look in the code and try to verify this?

[xwiki-users] Replicated JBossCache
by Andy Dale 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Hi, I am currently trying to set up XWiki Enterprise 1.6.1 to use JBossCache in REPL_ASYNC mode, but I am current experiencing a few issues. I discovered that the directory structure WEB-INF/cache/jbosscache is not correct, so I renamed the folder jbosscache to jboss. The default.xml file had an incorrect tag EvictionConfig instead of the correct EvictionPolicyConfig. After fixing the 2 minor issues (tested in LOCAL mode) mentioned above, nothing can be stored in the cache due to serializable issue, the stack traces: With UseLazyDeserialization = true 2009-07-13 12:30:05,080 ERROR [STDERR] org.jboss.cache.CacheException: java.io.NotSerializableException: Marshalled values can only wrap Objects that are serializable!

Hi, some questions: 1) section editing Edit button is also displayed for unregistered users (when nobody is logged in and has edit rights). disabled section editing in xwiki.cfg Edit button is still there 2) Title handling tryed to disable it in xwiki.cfg Get Title and Heading always but was awaiting old behavior. Also had a problem with a long heading: Entwicklung der empirischen Sozialforschung in Deutschland seit 1945 - Aufgaben für die Zukunft Head it as Title and as heading 1 (also tried heading 2). Was always displayed twice (title + heading). Is there a length restriction for the title.

[xwiki-users] Issue with the "Import an Office document" functionality
by Chaudier Guillaume 15 Oct '09

Hello, I try to import an Office (word 2003 document) with a "Ç" character (ALT 128). The result into the wiki page is: "Ç". The result is the same in "UTF-8" or in "ISO-8859-1". Is this due to a configuration issue or a bug? Thank's in advance for your answer. Best Regards,

[xwiki-users] [myxwiki] new wiki request
by Emrys 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Dear list, I have seen on the site that it'd be possible to get a free hosting or xwiki. I am doing an e-learning program in a French University and having a wiki for project sharing within the school groups i'll be working with would be perfect. I unfortunately don't know of any specific hosting for xwiki other than this one (or any wiki for that matter, and I have to say, I have been seduced by the richness of xwiki). Moreover, I don't think I would be able to run a computer permanently to have the wiki running days & nights - my computer performance would not allow it. I have found affordable java hosting, but then I have no clue on how to install xwiki on an ftp or even if that's possible at all. Please let me know if my request is realistic enough to be eligible for free xwiki hosting. Thanks in advance, -- Emrys

[xwiki-users] The missing quality of xwiki?
by Carsten Heyl 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Hi anyone! Here is my transcript of trying to find out something about XWikis quaility. 1. I started at the home page. Hey looks quite good. Not too much info, main "Products" presented well, good navigation. Looks promising. 2. So take a look at the Products presented so prominent. Well done. Good overview about the products. 3. So what problems do people have with XWiki, lets take a look at the FAQ. What the ****? We want to use Wiki for structuring Information and XWiki itself does not get a simple FAQ right? (Compare thet to http://ant.apache.org/faq.html) Hmm... maybe they got overwhelmed lately? No, latest changes date back to March of 2009. 1. The "F" in FAQ stands for "frequently", so a split betwenn FAQ and QA may be useful. 2. 204 Questions without any structuring? (compare to e.g. the ant link above) 3. 73 unanwered FAQs? OK, so the XWiki don't care much for questions and usability? Hmmm can't believe that, lets try more. 3. So what does it feel to use xwiki? Any sandbox or demo available? Hey great, main navigation contains a "Playground", lets give it a try. Reading ... "second generation" (sounds promising) and "how to start" (they guide me, good!). So lets start. "Configuring your wiki by clicking on the 'Administration' link at the top right." Hmm, no "Administration link", only "Log-In" and "Register". Any info on the Log-In-Page? No. Does "demo"/"demo" work? No. Any info on the Playground-Startpage? No. Hey there is a "sandbox"-Space, lets dig. Hmm, no way to edit, just Menus "Show" and "Print". Maybe problems due to a brand new update? Hmm. Need to register? Lets try. "This will allow you to edit pages, once the admin gives you appropriate rights." OK, lets try nevertheless. 4. While waiting for the mail, lets explore the playground via "Quick Links". Index - Hmmm, velocity errors and endless "Loading" ... What's New - RSS Included and my Registration is in, too. Looks good. Hmm Adminstrator changed XWikiPreferences, maybe the cause of my problems? Taking a look at the page. "To edit preferences, please use the Administration page. " - If I only could ... Blog - Lets add an Article - OK, needs Log-in. No Registration-EMail yet :-/ Calendar - just some velocity code on the page, no calendar. :-( Photo-Album - Yeah someone managed to upload a photo. Tags - "To tag a document, edit it and enter the tags". OK, later. (No Registration-EMail yet) 2 of 6 give errors right awy, hmmm gets disappointing. 5. While waiting for the mail, lets explore the playground via "What's New". Mail - Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page XWiki.Mail Wrapped Exception: Failed to evaluate content with id Mail JavaScriptExtension - Hmmm looks pretty empty the page, can't figure out what it is good for. StyleSheetExtension - Same here. Maybe thats part of the extensability, but where would I find Information about the Extension and how to use it? (The Information-Tab on he page does not help me.) AllDocs - Hmms same as "Index", yeah it's the same page, so does not work. TreeView - even more empty than the Extension-Pages TableView - some endless loading, got bored after 2 minutes waiting for "loading" to complete. Hmmm, not much Information for a "wiki". My question to the xwiki users mailing list and the xwiki team. Does that represent typical xwiki experience? Does that represent the quality of care of the xwiki developers? Is it worth downloading xwiki and spending more time digging into it? Somewhat disappointed but not totally scared (yet :-), Carsten Heyl

[xwiki-users] listing all users
by Arnaud bourree 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Hello, I'm building a migration to LDAP page for my company on one XWiki 2.0 RC1 instance. For this I need to list all users registered in. I used the following code to list users: for(u in xwiki.wrapDocs(xwiki.searchDocuments(", BaseObject obj where obj.name = doc.fullName and obj.className = 'XWiki.XWikiUsers' and doc.fullName <> 'XWiki.Admin' and doc.fullName <> 'XWiki.TEST' and doc.fullName <> 'XWiki.dummy'"))) { ... } That looks good, most of my users are listed. But at least one user is missing: one user register as JDOE one time and one other time as jdoe So there are two John Doe users: XWiki.jdoe and XWiki.JDOE but my loop only find JDOE and not jdoe What it is wrong in my request? Arnaud.

[xwiki-users] [XWIKI-4375] xwiki paper cuts
by Roman Friesen 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

Hello, I have just created the jira task "XWIKI-4375": http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4375 <description> As you probably know the Ubuntu team has starter the project "One Hundred Paper Cuts": https://launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts They define a paper cut as (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut) * a bug, or an unintended problem occurring within an existing piece of software, * the presence of which makes a computer more difficult or less pleasant to use, * that is easy to fix, * that the average user would encounter during his/her first day of using XWiki is a great software but it contains also a lot of "paper cuts". Such little but annoying bugs or usability issues would be a great entry point for new xwiki developers, because they are easy to fix. But also experienced xwiki commiters could relax fixing this paper cuts after their hard work ;) The proposal would be to start a similar task/project for identifying paper cuts in xwiki. Related jira issues could be just linked to this jira task." </description> I have already linked one paper cut to this jira task - XWIKI-3335. Any feedback would be very appreciated. Best regards, Roman
