[xwiki-users] Page created from Velocity with template can't be edited
by Jason Clemons 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

Hello all, I have an issue with some Velocity code I got from here ---> http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Create+Page+With+Object When the code runs the resulting page is created and the template is used, but none of my users can edit the page after (not even the admin). It looks like the template page was actually included in the page, not that the page was created "from" the template. Here is the code I'm using: {{velocity}} #set($newDoc = $xwiki.getDocument("Sandbox.TestPage")) $newDoc.setTitle("TestPage") $newDoc.setParent("Sandbox.WebHome") $newDoc.setContent('{{include document="Templates.TemplateToUse"/}}') $newDoc.save() {{/velocity}} When I go to my space and create a new page manually and select to use a template for the new page the resulting page CAN be edited appropriately using the EXACT SAME TEMPLATE, so I'm very confused. Any help is greatly appreciated

[xwiki-users] Reading a file submitted from a form
by Bryn Jeffries 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

Hi, I have a form as follows: {{html}} <form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="addFile" value="true" /> <input type="file" id="myupload" name="newfile" /> <input type=submit> </form> {{/html}} And I'd like to perform a simple check that I can access the file (by returning the file size and a line-by-line echo) using a velocity script: {{velocity}} ## If this page is called with addStudy=true then do something with the information #if ($request.addFile == "true") {{info}}Request received to add file{{/info}} #set ($fileUpload = $xwiki.fileupload) #set ($newFileName = $fileUpload.getFileName("newfile")) #if (!$newFileName) {{warn}}Failed to find submitted file{{/warn}} #else Found file $newFileName to load #set ($discard = $fileUpload.loadFileList()) #set ($fileitem = $fileUpload.getFileItems().get(0)) Found file item for $fileitem.getFieldName() to load, of $fileitem.getSize() bytes #set ($filestream = $fileitem.getInputStream()) {{info}}filestream.getText(){{/info}} $filestream.getText() {{info}}filestream.readLines(){{/info}} #foreach($line in $filestream.readLines()) | $line #end #end #end {{/velocity}} And also with a Groovy script: {{groovy}} if(request.addFile == "true") { println "{{info}}addFile requested {{/info}}" fileUpload = xwiki.fileupload newFileName = fileUpload.getFileName("newfile") if(newFileName != null) { println "Found file $newFileName to load" fileUpload.loadFileList() fileitem = fileUpload.getFileItems().get(0) println "Found file item for ${fileitem.getFieldName()} to load, of ${fileitem.getSize()} bytes" filestream = fileitem.getInputStream() println "{{info}}filestream.getText(){{/info}}" println filestream.getText() println "{{info}}filestream.eachLine{{/info}}" filestream.eachLine { println "${it}" } } else { println "Failed to find submitted file" } } {{/groovy}} I've tested this page out with a 3kb text file, and both scripts tell me I have a 4 byte file and I get no lines returned. I'm sure I'm being a total noob, but can somebody please put me out of my misery and explain why this isn't working?

[xwiki-users] Guidance on sponsoring
by Bryn Jeffries 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

The consortium that I am currently working for is interested in using XWiki for managing its projects and performing some reporting. Supporting this is beyond my current skillset and availability, so I'm interested in sponsoring this work. I know the sponsor system is quite new, but I'd appreciate any guidance on how one should determine a reasonable fee for such work. What sort of amount is likely to generate sufficient interest from active XWiki developers? Thanks, Bryn

[xwiki-users] Query external MSSQL DB in a wiki page
by Jason Clemons 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

Hello, Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm trying to query and external Microsoft SQL database from a wiki page. My current wiki runs on MSSQL just fine using sqljdbc4.jar configured with hibernate. The DB I want to query is actually on the same server, I can actually make it appear in the same DB if that makes things easier. I've looked at SQL Tools extension --> http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/SQL+Tools and I can get that to work just fine even querying the other database, but I don't know how to make the results of a query from that tool appear in a separate page I've created for use in Velocity for example. I've tried to get the example on the "Execute SQL" page here --> http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Execute+SQL to work but I get a Groovy error on the second snippet and nothing at all appears on the page using the first snippet (but no error). I've also looked at this plugin --> http://xwikisql.gradsoft.ua/docs/XWikiSqlPluginGuide.html but it hasn't been updated since 2008, so I'm not really sure that's a good idea from a sustainability perspective in a production environment. Ultimately, I will have a flat table in some database, really any database (e.g..it can be the XWIKI DB)..and I need to be able to get the rows and columns from the table and expose them as an HTML table in my wiki page. Once I figure out how to get the data making it into a table is easy enough, but I can't even figure out how to get an object or array with the data in it to iterate. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jason

[xwiki-users] run document skript with admin rights
by Adrien Moi 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

Hello ! on one wiki page I have a skript to delete a comment on another page. But when a user that has no edit right tries to do it, it fails. Is there a way to go around this and let the user delete the comment as if he had edit rights? for reference here is my simplified code {{groovy}} yourDocReference = new org.xwiki.model.reference.DocumentReference('xwiki','Main','WebHome'); yourDoc = xwiki.getDocument(yourDocReference); comment = yourDoc.getComments(); if(comment.isEmpty()){ println("No Comment to remove!");} else{ yourDoc.removeObject(comment[comment.size()-1]); yourDoc.save(); println("First comment removed !")} {{/groovy}} thanks for the help Adrien

Hello: I would like to use xwiki to write text articles. A page would be created for each article. Then I would like to read this article from a java web application that would publish it on that site. Seems like this should be doable. I'm just learning xwiki so I need someone with more understanding of xwiki to help me plan. Using a url, how to do lookup of the page (my article) in xwiki? Thanks lee

Re: [xwiki-users] users Digest, Vol 89, Issue 7 - What would you be interested in seeing in XWiki 7.x?
by Pracht, Matthias (ATS) 05 Dec '14

Hi Vincent, To push XWiki a biiig step forward, you should think about improving the WYSIWYG editor in my opinion. Always if I explain users XWiki I can see surprised faces, if they see the limited possibilities of the editor. Especially 2 features are always highlighted to keep their "MS Office" way of working: 1. Table handling (formatting and usage - today not only displaying tables is needed) 2. Pasting images in a page in edit mode via clipboard. THX Matthias -----Original Message----- From: users [mailto:users-bounces@xwiki.org] On Behalf Of users-request(a)xwiki.org Sent: Freitag, 5.

I?d like to start some proposal on the xwiki devs list (for the XWiki 7.x cycle) around end of December so it would be nice if you could shoot your suggestion ideas fast so that we can take them into account in the discussion! :) Thanks a lot for your help and I hope you?re enjoying using XWiki!? -Vincent Massol XWiki Committer ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2014 13:34:32 +0100 From: Daniel Lundh <dlundh(a)gmail.com> To: XWiki Users <users(a)xwiki.org> Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] What would you like to see in the XWiki 7.x cycle?

[xwiki-users] documentation

Hello all, is there documentation I can refer to that lists all the properties of "doc". I find most of the stuff I need in HQL or Velocity or whatever are attributes of a document, but I'd like to see all possible attributes and their meaning somewhere if it exists.
