Hey there We are interested in having a wiki hosted on this farm. The Association of Swiss Communes (www.chgemeinden.ch in German oder French) is a small non-for profit organization that defends the Swiss Communes interests at the federal governmental level in Switzerland. The Associations' executive office would like to add this Wiki for internal use in order to enhance our internal commnication and mutual exchange of information. We already registered on myxwiki.org with the user chgemeinden and would like to use the server name chgemeinden.myxwiki.org to access the wiki. Thanks in advance to the community Admins to create it for us! Best regards, Michael Bützer ---------------------------------------------- Schweizerischer Gemeindeverband Dr. Michael Bützer Leiter Politikbereiche Umwelt, Energie, Verkehr, Wirtschaft und Finanzen Solothurnstrasse 22 3322 Urtenen-Schönbühl

[xwiki-users] Doing a File Exchange App
by Scardino, Leonard R Jr ERDC-ITL-MS Contractor 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

I'm being asked to do a File Exchange application in XWiki. Basically giving the users the ability to upload and download files for each others use. My first thought was to simply use different pages for collections and have people use the built in file attachment stuff. However, I'm being told that isn't intuitive enough, so I'm looking to do some sort of FTP like thing where paths can be created and files uploaded to those paths to be later downloaded by others. I guess my question is, does anyone know of an existing app that does this, or am I going to have to create this myself? Thanks, Lenny

[xwiki-users] XWiki IntenseDebate integration
by Alessandro 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

Dear XWiki users, I'm developing on XWIKI and I would need to ask you for a specific information about comments management I haven't been able to retrieve. I need to understand if together with the XWiki user registration an IntenseDebate account could be automatically created as it is currently for Wordpress. I really would need for this solution in order to avoid XWIKI users to create two separate accounts and then to link them. Thank you for your support, Kind regards, Alessandro

[xwiki-users] how to rename of page with a trailing space?
by Paul Libbrecht 20 Jan '11

20 Jan '11

Hello XWikiers, I am a bit stuck with a page whose URL ends with %20 because of some earlier automated population process. The problem is that using Document.rename doesn't work, that using the GUi also doesn't. Deleting also fails. My best bet is to go into the SQL and I did this but that was not sufficient: I changed xwd_fullname and xwd_name and now the document is said to exist with xwiki.exists() but the page with spaces seems still to exist and the page without space seems to be not web-callable. I would love hints. paul
