The solution we propose for this is WebDAV (search xwiki.org on webdav). Mount your wiki as a webdav driver. This allows you to see the attachments for example. Work in your favorite editor for those attachments. When you save in your editor the attachment is updated remotely. The only possible issue is with concurrent locking. It's possible that if one has the lock others will only be able to open the attachment in read only. To be tested. Let us know!

[xwiki-users] Inserting links to files on network drives
by goldring, richard 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

Hi, Managers and other users at my company like to update excel spreadsheets on work progress. These spreadsheets get updated quite frequently by many users so attaching them to the wiki isn't so practical because of the overhead of checking checking the attachments in and out. So I'd like to make it easier for managers to put in links to these spreadsheets from a wiki page: So the users can (from the wiki WYSIWYG editor) browse to the spreadsheet files and insert them without having to workout the syntax e.g. file:// and the network drive, etc. How might I go about editing/adding macros to do this? Thanks. Regards, Richard

You probably hit http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-7121 .

Yes. Either through wiki syntax http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/XWikiSyntax#HParameters or through the WYSIWYG editor http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/WysiwygEditor#HTextFormatt ing . For the later option you need to activate some WYSIWYG editor plugins (e.g. font and color, see http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/WysiwygEditor#HPluginsan dFeatures for the full list) from the administration and add some features on the WYSIWYG editor tool bar (e.g. fontname or forecolor).

[xwiki-users] Selected pages of PDF to image conversion in XWiki?
by Haru Mamburu 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Hi! The task is: - Calculate MD5 of attached PDF document - Extract e.g first 10 pages from the attached PDF file as images - store images as attachments into the document 1. What is the best way to calculate MD5 in XWiki? Is it possible to do via standard velocity scripting in XWiki? 2. Is there any built in/hidden ways of PDF->image conversion of several pages of attached PDF file? If not, what is the solution possible? I found some opensource JAVA libraries, but I realize a big gap in my understanding between libraries and their integration in XWiki with followng velocity scripting usage. Does anyone has a clue where to dig to make all this staff runnung? Thanks in advance, Dmitry

[xwiki-users] How to Configure the search user functionality for a given user group?
by mohit gupta 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Hi All, I have question regarding search functionality i want to give rights in a way so that the users in a certain group should be able search the users of a certain group. For example i have 3 groups G1,G2,G3 . G1 contains user U1,G2 contains user U2 and G3 contains user U3. Now i want to give the the group 1 users rights in a way so that they should be able to search the G1 and G2 users only but not G3 users. I know we can customize the rights of specific group user for a specific space but what about above feature? Is it configurable? Thanks .

[xwiki-users] Background color for a livetable
by Stéphanie 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Hello everyone, I have a livetable build like every livetable : #livetable("allapps" $collist $ colprops $options) My livetable is built using a class and one of the field of this class is "state". This field can have three value : "new", "in progress", "closed". I want to put a background color for each line depending of this field "state". I want the background colors like this : - "new" -> background color = green - "in progress" -> background color = orange - "closed" -> background color = red Is there a possibility to define this somewhere ? And if yes, where exactly ? In the options of my livetable ? I hope this possibility exists because I really need it.
