[xwiki-users] Convert existing Intranet to XWiki
by Hamster 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

To all, We want to replace our existing Intranet with XWiki. Our current Intranet is a bunch (100's) of HTML pages with text and hyperlinks. Can we import/convert our existing Intranet pages to XWiki? If so, which steps should we take? Of is this impossible and should we just create XWiki pages by hand? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Convert-existing-Intranet-to-XWiki-tp7195… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Creating unique serialised pagenames
by Joris Dirks 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

One of the use cases I have for my wiki is storing 'issues', where each issue should have a serial number consisting of year + subsequent number. I was thinking about a script like this, but one of the problems is: there is no 'while' function in Velocity. How would you create a form for this? Thanks for your ideas! Joris #set($space="Issues"} #set($template="AppSpace.IssueTemplate") #set($parent=$space.WebHome) #set($year= ${xwiki.formatDate($datetool.date, 'yyyy')}) #set($partID="0" #set($genericID=$space"."$year) #while($xwiki.exists($space.$issueID'') { #set($partID=$partID+1) #set($issueID=$year"-"$partID) } #if(!$xwiki.exists($issueID) && $xwiki.hasAccessLevel('edit', $context.user, $issueID)) $response.sendRedirect($xwiki.getURL($ID, 'inline', "template=$template}&parent=$parent")) ## Stop processing, since we already sent a redirect. #stop #end

[xwiki-users] Your feedbacks on a possible MailArchive application
by jerem 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Hello xwiki community ! Since a long time, I work on a MailArchive application, and try to find time to post it to the community ... It's used in my team and is satisfying, but as I'm working on it currently I think it's time to unveil what to expect from it, and have your feedbacks before I (eventually) post a first version ... What's implemented so far : - "eats" mails from specified mail server / account / folder - creates Mails and Topics pages and objects in wiki. Algorithm for topics tries to be "hijack-proof" ;) - Custom Livetable and timeline view for archive, table/threads/forum views for topics - persists main parts of mails (html content, main headers, attachments, attached mails, images, detects encrypted mails), with a clean display - configurable mailing-lists (independant of mail server) upon pattern matching, with auto-tagging of created pages - statistics page (top posters, ...) What I would like to implement before first release : - reply button and sheet - configurable auto-typing of mails (for example, Mail/Newsletter/Annoucement ...) (it already exists but it's hard-coded ...) - test it with other server than exchange (ie gmail at least) - configurable ldap integration : auto-creation of mail users from ldap (by matching emails). Already implemented but not inside the app itself. It's a very cool feature for enterprise level mailing-lists. Real users are also automatically assigned as mails/topics authors/creators in wiki pages, as well as mail dates. - remove everything that's hard-coded and dependent of our usage - put more simply, make it generic. What I expect to add in next releases : - multi-mail-server configuration - improve admin pages - ratings - for now it dumps mails from a folder, meaning it does not act as a mail server by itself. This means that some common features are not available (validation of mails ...). For now it's more a simple dumped "clone" of a mailing-list, but it does not interact with users / mails. Some open questions / remarks: - considering last point, I don't know how mailing-lists and mailing-lists archives do work (ie xwiki-users and robot, nabble ...), so I don't really know how I could implement such features inside xwiki, or even if it would be something useful for users ... For now the whole application is a XAR and I don't want to bring too much complexity to it. Anyway I'd like to keep both functionality. - for "reply" feature, I assume to use the global mail server configuration parameters of the wiki, and the email from connected xwiki user profile ("from"). To simplify I would ask user for his password when he clicks on "send" (and the form is valid), because depending on mail server configured, you might need to be authentified to send a mail. There could be an option to use or not the xwiki login for credentials. I don't know what 'd be the better for this ... Maybe I should add specific configuration for outgoing mail server in mail archive app ? Of course with a "real" mailing-list (with a robot), you don't have this kind of problem as I believe it acts as a mail server itself (kind of proxy). Feel free to comment, manifest your enthusiasm (or your un-interest :) ) ...

Re: [xwiki-users] Can't attach files to wiki

Yes its strange, This has happened since migrating from version 2.7 to 3.2. The import of the wiki pages via Exported xar files seemed to work ok, and the attachments are listed at the bottom of the wiki pages, butwhen you cick on them to view the attachments the wiki displays aa error message that the "The attachment does not exist." Has anyone any idea what's happened and how to fix it? Thanks.

Hi! Thanks a lot for the new XWiki version. As for: "New default color theme" - http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-6982 It's the old one, but looks actual still. Great thanks for: "* Special characters in attachment name". I checked cyrillic names - works fine. Also I checked an issue we couldn't reproduce earlier. It failed to work again. http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-7399 Kindly ask somebody to reproduce steps in this JIRA issue and prove the bug or clarify how to avoid it. Till now I failed to get it working :-( Thanks in advance, Dmitry 13 января 2012, 22:00 от Marius Dumitru Florea <mariusdumitru.florea(a)xwiki.com>: > The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of > XWiki Commons, XWiki Rendering, XWiki Platform, XWiki Enterprise and > XWiki Enterprise Manager 3.4 Milestone 1. > > This is the first and only milestone of the 3.4 version.

[xwiki-users] Attachment Download Count
by Ashtar Communications 15 Jan '12

15 Jan '12

Hi, This has probably been asked before, but I can't seem to find a clear answer in the archives. Is there a way to configure the statistics extension (or something else in xwiki) to keep track of how many times an attachment is downloaded? Am I stuck doing something like editing htmlheader.vm and attachmentsinline.vm to insert Google Analytics code and keeping track myself? Has anyone out there already done this? Thanks, aaron

Hello, first, thanks to XWiki SAS for hosting my Wiki, it works really fine ! I wonder if it's possible to get some stats about visitors, but I came across a page saying I need to edit "xwiki.cfg" : http://xhe.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Stats/WebHome Afaik, I do no have shell/filesystem access to the server and can't do this modification. Am I wrong ? Is there a way for myxwiki users to modify this setting ? Regards, Nicolas
