[xwiki-users] [ANN] XWiki 6.3 released
by Guillaume "Louis-Marie" Delhumeau 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki 6.3. This release provides a great stabilization of the Flamingo Skin, and includes new themes and some improvements to manage them. It also contains a new mail API and module to replace the old mailsender plugin, a new dynamic tree widget that is progressively replacing all existing trees in XWiki (Document Index, Navigation Panels, etc...), some improvements on the Extension Manager as well as on the User Directory and the Applications Panel. Efforts have been made on the performances side, with good results on view mode (except on the first loaded-page). We reach the same performances as 5.4.6, which was not the case during the 6.x cycle until now. This is a first milestone to get even better! Finally, and like every releases, a lot of bugs have been fixed.

[xwiki-users] Access value of property on same page
by Jason Clemons 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

Hello all, I have a list on a page which defaults to a value defined in the objects of the page. What I want to do is access the value of the list after the page is refreshed from velocity code on the same page. My users would open the page and see the lists with their default values, then select some values from the list and press a button causing a post-back. After the post-back happens, I need to essentially "reflect" the selection that the user made from velocity code. So far if I use the following code: #set($obj = $doc.getObject("myspace.myclass",0)) $doc.display("myprop","view",$obj) But, I get the default value after the page posts back, even though the selected value persists. Any help is greatly appreciated.

by Adrien Moi 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

Hello I have a little question and I couldn't find an answer on the internet... In a groovy part, I can create list the attachments of the current document with this : {{groovy}} list = doc.getAttachmentList(); print(list); {{/groovy}} how can I access the documents of another page in the same way? On a different page of the wiki I tried {{groovy}} list = XWiki.WebHome.getAttachmentList(); print(list); {{/groovy}} to get a list of the attachments on XWiki.WebHome, but it didn't work... Do you have any clue? Thank you very much ! Adrien

[xwiki-users] Setting Page Breaks in Specific Locations
by Helen Stockebrand 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

Hey everyone! I am looking to place page breaks in specific locations within the content on a page. The content in the wiki pages is instructions on how to operate various machines on our manufacturing floor. The most common export used to print these instructions id PDF. Many times a single step will be printed on two different pages. I am tasked with eliminating this. I have found a post about page breaks from 2009. *(% style="page-break-before:always" %)* It was mentioned that this was considered an advanced feature and was seldom used. It was also mentioned that there might be added support to enter parameters, such as CSS) and the WYSIWYG in XE 1.9. I was hoping someone might be able help me on this or maybe even direct me to more information about using page breaks in the xwiki. Thanks! --

[xwiki-users] Username and Password for Subwiki-Databases
by Michael Stahl 09 Nov '14

09 Nov '14

Hi all, I'm running XWiki 6.2 (Oracle-DB / Tomcat7) with two sub-wikis. I learned that for each sub-wiki, a database is created. Does anyone know the username and password for the sub-wiki databases? Are they the same as for the main database? Here's why I'm asking: I'm trying to transfer the wiki including the sub-wikis to a new server, but the XWiki-User is not allowed to create databases there. So I had the admin set up the databases and sent three dumps of the main and sub-wiki databases. After importing, I can't access the wiki, I get an error message like this: SQL Error: 1435, SQLState: 72000ORA-01435: No such user So, basically, the question is: How to transfer a wiki including sub-wikis to a new server?

[xwiki-users] [Discussion] Make XWiki Case Insensitive. WDYT?
by Eduard Moraru 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

Hi users and devs, I would like to have your opinion on the topic of case sensitive vs case insensitive and which one you prefer in XWiki. Currently, XWiki is case sensitive. This means the same resource name (document name, space name, etc) can be written with either small letters or big letters or a mix. Examples: You can have both "Main.Test" and "Main.test" as 2 different documents. Also, you can have "XWiki.Admin" and "XWiki.admin" as 2 different users. This also applies to URLs, as "/Main/Test" is different from "/Main/test" or "/main/test", so all these 3 are different resources. Even from this short description, one can already identify possible problems of this approach. >From the top 3 operating systems (Linux, Mac an Windows), only Linux is case sensitive, the other two (more user-focused Operating Systems) are both case insensitive. Since XWiki has one of its main targets the Enterprise users, it is safe to assume that the correct approach would be to also be more user-focused and simplify things and avoid confusions by being case insensitive as well. Also, a quick search on existing issues validates the need for this improvement: http://jira.xwiki.org/issues/?jql=text%20~%20%22case%20insensitive%22 What do you think? Is it OK to keep XWiki case sensitive, or would you prefer it case insensitive? Bring arguments. I have also created a jira issue for this idea: http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-11412 to track it in the future. Thanks, Eduard
