[xwiki-users] rerun distribution wizard
by Kelly Steinke 20 Dec '16

I have recently upgraded from 3.5 to 5.5. The upgrade went fine however after logging in I accidentally hit the cancel button instead of the skip. I now want to rerun the Distribution Wizard but I cannot figure out how to re-trigger it. Can this be done?

[xwiki-users] The "zh" Chinese support in XWiki-7.3 is very bad.
by KirbY ZhoU 19 May '16

19 May '16

1. The "tags" feature display a lot of jumbled text. For example: "运营" displays as "è¿è¥", if I click "è¿è¥", it becomes "Ã¨Â¿ÂÃ¨ÂÂ¥", much worse. 2. The "Solr Search" feature display a log of jumbled text. For example: "表格" displays as "Ã¨Â¡Â¨Ã¦Â Â¼" in the search result page. And of couse, it returns no hitted page, but it is actually appeared in the default "Sandbox" chinese page. For example: 3. The Chinese Sandbox, incorrectly use ">" instead of ">" in wiki source text. For example: [[沙箱测试页面1>>Sandbox.TestPage1]] Should be: [[沙箱测试页面1>>Sandbox.TestPage1]]

[xwiki-users] Mindtouch to Xwiki
by Daniel Tibô 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

Hello, In our department, the actuel wiki is based on Mindtouch/dekiwiki and we want to go to for a global wiki for the company with Xwiki. To do that, we need to transfer our data from the actual wiki and I managed to extract all the pages in HTML format (600+ files). I have found in the mailing list history a reply from Vincent in August 2013 to a similar request : ------ Hi Jason, I don't know of any existing Mindtouch converter to XWiki. However there are several handmade converter tools on http://extensions.xwiki.org that could serve as examples. What is the markup syntax used by Mindtouch? I have the feeling they only provide HTML which would be fine since XWiki's Rendering can convert HTML into wiki markup for example (or keep it as HTML too). So converting a page would be: * Read the export format from Mindtouch (what is it? XML?) * Use the XWiki API to create a wiki page, convert the HTML content to wiki markup (easy to do), add attachments Also note that Thomas Mortagne (one of the XWiki committer) is currently working on a wiki stream API that is an ideal scaffolding for importing/exporting wikis: https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/wiki-stream . But there's non trivial dev work to be done to make it work. Another idea is to contact one of the companies providing professional services around XWiki and ask them how much it would cost for a conversion: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Support#HProfessionalSupport Hope it helps, -Vincent ------ Could you please point me to the right direction to convert my 600+ HTML pages to xwiki markup ? If you have any information to help me for the integration, that would be very kind of you Thank you for your help. Daniel.

[xwiki-users] RESTful API to create a new object of custom class?
by Ashtar Communications 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

Hi, Is it possible to create a new object of a custom class using the RESTful API? The documentation page only lists the following POST method, which doesn't accept a class name: /wikis/{wikiName}/spaces/{spaceName}/pages/{pageName}/objects[?start=offset&number=n] I have tried things like the following: curl -u Admin:admin -X POST -H "Content-type: text/plain" -H "Accept: application/xml" -d "@test.xml" http://localhost/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Test/pages/Test/objects/XWik… Where test.xml contains some variation on: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <properties xmlns="http://www.xwiki.org"> <property type="com.xpn.xwiki.objects.classes.TextAreaClass" name="Text"> <attribute value="Text" name="name"/> <attribute value="Test" name="prettyName"/> <attribute value="0" name="unmodifiable"/> <attribute value="0" name="disabled"/> <attribute value="100" name="size"/> <attribute value="10" name="rows"/> <attribute value="" name="customDisplay"/> <attribute value="Text" name="editor"/> <attribute value="6" name="number"/> <attribute value="0" name="picker"/> <attribute value="" name="validationMessage"/> <attribute value="" name="validationRegExp"/> <value> This is some text. </value> </properties> Curl returns this: <html> <head> <title>Status page</title> </head> <body> <h3>The method specified in the request is not allowed for the resource identifi ed by the request URI</h3><p>You can get technical details <a href="http://www.w 3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.4.6">here</a>.<br> Please continue your visit at our <a href="/">home page</a>. </p> </body> </html> Simpler syntax without the XML file still fails for me. In fact, I can't seem to even get the basic "create object" method to work, even without the class. For example: curl -u Admin:admin -X POST http://localhost/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Test/pages/Test/objects Just comes back with a "malformed syntax" error. Is there an example anywhere of how to do this? Thank you, Aaron

[xwiki-users] migrating from .war to Debain apt package
by shouldbe q931 06 Jan '16

06 Jan '16

Hi, I'm struggling with migrating a 6.3 .war instance to a Debian APT/package 7.3 instance. I had hoped I would be able to install as per http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationViaAPT choosing the xwiki-enterprise-tomcat7-mysql package, then edit hibernate.cfg.xml to point at the existing (external) MySQL instance hosting the database, then edit server.xml, xwiki.cfg and xwiki.properties to match the previous. The new instance connects, and after editing xwiki.cfg, I can login as superadmin, the previously setup LDAP auth not working), I was expecting to see the xwiki updater run, but it did not, and the top bar of xwiki is empty, it only has the logo on the far left and the three little lines on teh far right under which the only option is logout. Do I need to to do a .war update to get it up to 7.3 before migrating to a Debian APT/package instance ? or is there something that I have missed ? Cheers

[xwiki-users] New Page Has No Parent
by Randy Havens 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

When I create a new page in my Main space, the "Parent" field defaults to empty, but when I create a new page in any other space, it defaults to the name of that space. When a user tries to post a new page with the parent empty, they get an "access denied" message, but if you put "Main" in the parent it works as expected. Is there a way to default this value to "Main" when not in another space, instead of having it default blank? This wasn't an issue up to XWiki 7.1.2, but it is an issue in 7.3 and 7.4 - when nested pages started getting worked on. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/New-Page-Has-No-Parent-tp7597344.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] XWiki java client authentication
by Bryn Jeffries 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

Hello, I need to write a small Java utility to interact with my XWiki server - it's main purpose is to take a file containing paths to various files, and then upload (POST) them to the server. It looks as though this cannot be done from within the browser directly since sandboxing prevents working with file paths directly. Having read through the RESTful client information (http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XWikiRESTfulAPI) I am not sure I need to completely go down this route as I don't need access to representations of the XWiki objects. AFAICS I will simply need to GET and POST to specific URLs of the wiki. However, I would greatly appreciate advice on how best to handle authentication. Guest users are not allowed, so username and password should be provided, and in some way a session needs to be maintained. Are there any simple examples for logging in to XWiki and maintaining a session from within a Java client? I'm wondering if I still might need the RESTful API for this, but the documentation doesn't really cover this in detail. Thanks, Bryn
