[xwiki-users] how to debug a picture not being scaled down?
by Paul Libbrecht 04 Aug '13

04 Aug '13

Hello fellow XWikiers, I now have an XWiki 5.0.3 and an XWiki 5.1 where my picture never gets downsized. e.g. /xwiki/bin/download/XWiki/polx/photo%2Dpasseport%2DPaul%2D2012%2D07.jpg?width=50&height=50&keepAspectRatio=true has width 345 x 443 (the original). How can I debug this? The log does not seem to say and it seems not related to have an AWT thread at hand (the 5.1 is run with a graphics environment). thanks in advance. Paul

[xwiki-users] Using a commercial pdf-rendering library
by jhaimerl 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Hi, we want to modify the pdf-export by using a commercial pdf-rendering library. As so far the pdf-export is located in the xwiki-platform-oldcore package, I suppose the reengineering is still pending. Because of that I wanted to ask how is the future strategy for the pdf-export? How can we integrate our pdf-export to be prepared for future modification? Thanks and regards, Josef -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Using-a-commercial-pdf-rendering-library-… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Add Extensions via Admin UI for local admins
by Clemens Klein-Robbenhaar 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

A few days ago I ran into some problems when trying to install an extension via the extension manager. The problem was that the pages of this extension require programming rights and I have been doing the install as a local admin of a subwiki. As the local admins have no programming rights the extension got installed without error message, but then it failed to work properly (of course). I first thought about reporting a bug that users without programming rights should have no access to the extension manager to avoid these problems, but then I figured out that this might be too restrictive. For example one does not need Programming rights to install a color theme; there is not reason why a local admin should not be able to do that. The problem is that one cannot distinguish in advance between the two cases of an extension needing programming rights and one not needing it. So I wonder if it would be feasible to extend the ExtensionClass with a flag "Requires Programming rights" or the like and then any extensions found via the ExtensionManager will tell the Admin UI, if they need Programming rights to be installed or not. The UI then could check with the rights of the current user and inform about the problem before installing. Of course this creates a backward compatibility issue; one has to treat a missing value for that flag somehow. Maybe assuming that a missing flag means "no programming rights required" is ok, because that way extensions without this flag will be handled exactly the same as they are currently handled However I wonder if I talk about a real problem here, or if this is not really needed, but it is me doing something wrong. (E.g. is it actually advisable to install an extension only on one local wiki, and not on the complete farm?) Any thoughts? Clemens

[xwiki-users] Unpublished Blog-entries show up in the Activity stream
by Clemens Klein-Robbenhaar 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

Hi, I just noticed that whenever someone creates a new blog page, this new blog page shows up in the Activity Stream, even if the page entry is not yet published. I guess this makes just sense from the point of view of the Activity-stream, as creating the blog page always creates an entry in the activity stream DB of type "create". However I feel it might upset some users who expect that their unpublished blog pages remain "secret". I wonder where I should dig in to prevent these entries showing up. Is it possible to suppress logging the "create" event in the activity DB until the Blog entry gets published? Or should I better try to filter these events in the macro displaying the activity stream. Oh, and is there any general interest in suppressing these entries in the activity stream, or is it just me and I can look for a solution on the "works-for-me" level instead of something others might find reusable?

[xwiki-users] [myxwiki] new wiki request
by Glen Coulthard 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

As a college professor, I would like to set up an example wiki to teach my students about collaborative web-based tools for small-to-medium sized businesses. I believe that XWiki provides an excellent example, but our IT group will not allow me to purchase a cloud-hosted solution or to set up a local server. Specifically, I would be placing initial course materials on this wiki and then asking students to contribute to, comment on, and annotate these topics throughout the term.

[xwiki-users] Main menu z-index problem
by Neumann, Tom 30 Jul '13

30 Jul '13

Hi everyone, I've got a problem with my main page. I embedded 3 iFrames with a z-index of 2 and 3. In the Firefox Browser everything is working perfectly, but the Internet Explorer (9) is displaying the iFrames on top of the menu points... Here is a piece of code from the menu I am using: {{menu type="vertical" position="left" id="Navigation links"}} {{html}} <span style="font-weight:bolder;font-size:125%">Navigation</span> {{/html}} * [[Navigation 1>>Main.Navigation1]] ** [[News>>Navigation1.News]] ** (...) And here is the code for my iFrames: <div style="position:absolute; top:250px; left:230px; z-index:3;"> <iframe src=" index.html" width="575" height="800" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe> </div> <div style="position:absolute; top:230px; right:260px; z-index:2;" id="container"> <iframe src=" index2.html" width="500" height="280" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe> </div> <div style="position:absolute; top:550px; right:250px; z-index:2;" id="accordion"> <iframe src="index3.html" width="650" height="400" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe> </div> In the colibri.css in the xwiki directory I saw, that the z-index for the menu is =1000... Where is the problem for Internet Explorer to display the menu points ontop of the iFrames? And also: Why does the Internet Explorer put the Navigation points 1cm downwards and displays an empty Navigation point??? Regards, Tom Neumann
