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

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] 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] Migration away from TikiWiki - Forms based question.
by HadleysHope 20 Oct '15

20 Oct '15

I wonder if anyone can help. I started using xwiki but have been a long time use user of tikiwiki. In it there is something called "trackers" these are basically forms. So I can create trackers that people can fill out and even forms that reference other forms. So for instance I might have a tracker called regions that might have two fields, State and City. So I fill out a bunch of those for different states. Then I can use this in another tracker so that when I select a state, a list of cities relevant to that state entered in the previous tracker will auto populate a drop down. My question is, firstly, how do you create these forms (I looked at create app and it doesn't seem to do what i want it to) and secondly how do you reference other forms? Any help greatly appreciated.

[xwiki-users] Attachment- and extension problems, with related documentation questions for latest stable release
by Johan Eriksson 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

Hi! I performed my first install ever of xwiki today using the latest stable. Running with mysql (on separate hosts) as database. I've installed my servlet container on Centos 7, with java and tomcat versions as below: [root@tomcat-01]# java -version java version "1.7.0_85" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (rhel-2.6.1.2.el7_1-x86_64 u85-b01) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.85-b03, mixed mode) Installed Packages Name : tomcat Arch : noarch Version : 7.0.54 Release : 2.el7_1 Since this is my first xwiki installation ever, I would like to share my experience, problems I faced and unanswered questions below. >From http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationTomcat I thought that as per example, java settings: JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx800m -XX:MaxPermSize=192m" would allow me to install and play around with the application, since that recommendation is higher than the "small installation" (512M) reference found here http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Performances#HMemory * My first problem appeared when I right after successful installation, in the sandbox, created an empty testpage with one attachment of 3M in size. I got an OutOfMemory exception when deleting that attachment. - Are the documented java memory recommendations still applicable or should they be considered as outdated for latest stable? so I updated the java settings to solve the problem: JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx1400m -XX:MaxPermSize=192m" * My second problem appeared when I created my first page. The intention was to create a page with a bunch of image attachments, using an extension for displaying these images as an image gallery. When uploading 116 images of individual size ~ 3M, a total size of 374M. Uploading of files failed after 80 something files had been uploaded to the page. The disk space on the servlet container server host was full. In /var/cache/tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost/xwiki/xwiki-temp/attachment-cache a total of 6.3G of data had been stored. - Looking at the checksum of the 2000 something files stored in this directory there are 86 unique files some of which stored in 29 copies during the upload process. Is this a desired behavior of the attachment cache, or is this a bug? * My third problem was when trying to install an extension. I was really curious about, and wanted to test, the social login application, that even is referred to from the administration guide http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Authentication#HSocialL…. This extension does not install at all on the latest stable. My java knowledge is limited, but, I interpret the error message as failure to satisfy requirement of servlet api version 2.5 (maybe since latest stable xwiki has servlet version prereq of 3.0+). - Since the documentation only exist in one latest version, should I as user assume that the documentation is applicable for latest development-, stable- or long term release? Now, it might be bad luck, or my failure to understand the xwiki release process, that my first three tests of the software failed with problems. I will now try the long term support release hoping that I successfully can add attachments and install extensions according to my requirements. Best regards Johan Eriksson

[xwiki-users] Defining a macro for the confluence syntax
by Paul Libbrecht 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

Hello XWiki experts, I'm porting confluence-syntax-pages from a confluence to my shiny new xwiki. I've made a little tool to grasp the attachments (by hand) and am copying the page content. These pages were using two macros that I am try to reprogramme but am failing thus far. I succeeded creating the macro with the easy tutorial here http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WikiMacroTutorial, including content or parameters references in the XWiki 2.1 syntax but in the confluence syntax I am failing: - how can I specify macro parameters there? - confluence macros do not have open and close tags. Does it mean it cannot have content? If the macro requires content, an error is displayed constantly that the content is missing. thanks Paul

> > created your wiki here: > > http://coc.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ Hello, About my new site on myxwiki.org, I'm very disoriented about the customization of welcome page ... If i'm login as Admin, Main.WebHome show only this text: <<<C'est un site web facile à éditer qui aidera les membres de votre équipe à mieux travailler ensemble. Ce wiki se compose de pages organisées par espaces. Vous êtes actuellement sur la page d'accueil (WebHome) de l'espace principal (Main). Vous pouvez utiliser le bac à sable afin de tester les fonctionnalités de votre wiki.>> When I'm login as admin if I edit my welcome page this message is displayed on top of gadget dashboard: <<Vous êtes en train de modifier un tableau de bord défini dans un document différent,coc:WikiManager.Dashboard. Vos changements auront un impact sur toutes les pages incluant cette configuration de tableau de bord. Si vous souhaitez personnaliser cette page, éditez-la en mode WYSIWYG et configurez la macro "tableau de bord" avec un paramètre source vide.>> I don't understand what's meaning " configurez la macro "tableau de bord" avec un paramètre source vide"? I must edit the source of Main.Welcome and replace {{dashboard source="Main.Dashboard" /}} by {{dashboard source="" /}} ? If I follow the instruction like a normal user, I'm quickly lost: I can not follow this instruction and I obtain 2 different welcome page depending of language of my browser: english one with dashboard and the french one with the short text "C'est un site web facile à éditer..." http://coc.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/?language=fr http://coc.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/?language=en In my advice, xwiki must be simplier to customize welcome page. It is the first impression the most important, isn'it? (I activated 2 langages on: coc.myxwiki.org, en and fr default) Thxs Pascal B.
