[xwiki-users] [Proposal] Comparing XWiki to MediaWiki and Confluence on xwiki.org
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 22 Sep '17

22 Sep '17

Hi, Since we had users asking on the IRC what are the differences between XWiki and other solutions, it would be a good idea to provide such pages on the website: - XWiki and MediaWiki http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/XWiki-vs-MediaWiki - XWiki and Confluence http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/XWiki-vs-Confluence It would be great to know if you agree with the listed content and if you find other similarities or distinctions between the above solutions. Additionally, what other solutions would you be interested in seeing comparison with? Thanks, Caty

[xwiki-users] Bounced Emails
by Keith Davis 13 Apr '17

My subscription keeps getting disabled due to excessive bounces. I would understand that if I was still hosting my web host's email server, but I'm not having email send to my Gmail account. Any ideas what would be causing that? -- Keith Davis 214-906-5183

[xwiki-users] strip accents from page name used in url
by Miroslav Galajda 23 Jan '17

23 Jan '17

Hi, I’m using XWiki in Slovak language which uses accents, which consequently causes problems with urls. The urls becomes ugly containing encoded characters with accents. Does XWiki have integration point out of the box to replace the page name with custom one, with stripped accents from it? Thank you Mirec

[xwiki-users] StackShare
by Dylan Tuttle 02 Jan '17

02 Jan '17

Vincent, You may want to have two stacks on StackShare; one for the software and one for the platform. I presume the software would be approved as a Tool. It could then be included as a component in a Stack. Thanks, Dylan -- "If it's a good idea, go ahead and do it. It's much easier to apologize than it is to get permission." - Grace Hopper

[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] Menu crashes if changed by a non admin user (see menu application extension)
by Alina Kupgisch 09 Dec '16

09 Dec '16

Hi Xwiki Team, it seems as if there is a small bug in the "Menu Application"extension (version 8.2). Every time a user, that is not in the XWikiAdminGroup, does some changes on the menu page in edit mode, the menu crashes and is no longer visible. To fix that an admin user of XWikiAdminGroup has to edit and save the page. It is important that a small change has to be done by the admin user. Best regards Alina

Re: [xwiki-users] API/Scripting : create user and attach some files to its profile
by Pascal BASTIEN 09 Dec '16

You must tell us what is this file? A custom file per user? where did this file come from? Do you want this file attached to profile user? Etc. Your file is in your ldap ilike users photo:? #-# [Since 8.1M2, XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl] #-# On every login update photo from LDAP to XWiki avatar otherwise photo will not be updated. #-# - 0: never #-# - 1: at each authentication #-# The default is 0 # xwiki.authentication.ldap.update_photo=0 Anyway you can add custom velocity code here: /bin/edit/XWiki/XWikiUserProfileSheet?editor=wiki (I don't know it it is a clean way, it depend of your use case desired) -------------------------------------------- En date de : Mar 29.11.16, mh(a)ow2.org <mh(a)ow2.org> a écrit : Objet: Re: [xwiki-users] API/Scripting : create user and attach some files to its profile À: "XWiki Users" <users(a)xwiki.org> Date: Mardi 29 novembre 2016, 9h00 Hi Pascal, Thanks for the tip :) It answers to the "how to add a field" part of my question. But it doesn't answer about attaching file to the profile. The main issue I see here is the account is created on login. Or maybe there might be a hook system so we can trigger something when the account is created( ie, to attach files to the profile) ?

[xwiki-users] Extension Release notes 1.3.1 : releasenotechanges macro
by Yann 07 Dec '16

07 Dec '16

Hello, I am new to xwiki (though like it a lot already...), I have installed the release notes extension (1.3.1) but I have a problem with the {{releasenotechanges}} macro. I may not use it properly, but I can't get my changes appear in the release note page. I changed the default macro to use the {{changes...}} macro instead, and it works better (but i need to manually enter the product, version etc...) which is less convenient. Once again I think I may not be using the extension correctly, but if someone could point me to the documentation that could help me understand how it works it would be much appreciated. (of course i have read this page http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Release+Notes+Applicat… ) Also is there a way to change the default template of the RN to adapt it to different context (for instance different languages)? Regards, Yann

[xwiki-users] New installation - top menu bar missing?
by Patrick M. Hausen 06 Dec '16

06 Dec '16

Hi, all I'm new to XWiki. Just finished a fresh installation of 8.4.1 with Tomcat any MySQL, which went absolutely smooth - great! I intend to migrate the wiki of a small not-for-profit organisation from Confluence to XWiki, so my first two questions are - how do I create spaces? - how do I get a hierachical navigation tree of all pages in a space on the left? I wouldn't be bothering you without doing some research first, so I found this documentation about spaces: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/Spaces#HSpacecreation Unfortunately my XWiki doesn't have that menu bar with the "Home | Main | WebHome | Add" at all! What am I missing here? Completely dumbfounded - the docs say "click Add -> Space" ... Second there seems to be a "Document Tree Macro 8.4.1" extension already installed. How do I get this - and only this - into the left menu column? Thanks a lot for any hints. RTFM perfectly welcome with a pointer to the correct fine manual. Search engine hasn't been of much help, but possibly my google-fu is leaving me ;-) Kind regards, Patrick
