[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.

by xrichard 27 Apr '16

Hi, I'm trying to retrieve attachments stored in a XAR export file. According to documentation (see http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/XAR+Module+Specificati…) XML node <attachment> contains everything I need to get files content but how is encoded and how to decode the node <content> ? Thanks for your answers, best regards, -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/What-is-the-format-of-attachments-in-XAR-… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Disabling skin preview
by Mehdi Oulmakki 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

Hello everyone, I want to disable the skin preview functionality from my xwiki instance. so that urls in the form https://mywiki.com?skin=colibri do not actually change the current skin, and just use my default. The reason for this is that I've overridden a skin with extra functionality and made that my default skin, reverting to a different one now breaks some of the wiki functionality that relies on my changes. Any idea on where the modifications to support this can be made? Thanks

[xwiki-users] MyXWiki.org maintenance
by Fabio Mancinelli 26 Apr '16

26 Apr '16

Hi all, tomorrow we will perform some operations on www.myxwiki.org to migrate it to a new virtualization platform. These operations will last around 4h (depending on how fast the data-transfer will be) We are going to start around 9h30 (Paris time) and if everything goes fine the wiki should be back at the end of the morning. During the operations the wiki will stay up and accessible but it will be set in read-only mode. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks, Fabio Mancinelli Infrastructure Manager XWiki SAS

[xwiki-users] HTML file downloads instead of displaying in browser
by Mark J. Bobak 25 Apr '16

25 Apr '16

Hi all, I'm an XWiki newbie. I've written a script that generates an HTML file, and then I upload it as an attachment to XWiki. When I create a link on that file, and then click the link, I get the HTML file downloaded by the browser, rather than displayed. >From what I've read, this may be caused either by something in my HTML or by an XWiki setting. In the HMTL, my headeer looks like this: <!DOCTYPE html><html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; c harset=utf-8" /><h1 align=center>NITS Solutions AWS Server List</h1><style>table , th, td { border: 2px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; }</style></head> My undedrstanding is that the 'text/html' should tell the browser to display rather than download. Also, in the xwiki.properties file, in the Attachment section, I found the 'attachment.download.whitelist' and 'attachment.download.blacklist', but both were commented out, which I assume means this feature is disabled? I even tried uncommenting the whitelist and making sure it contained 'text/html', and then bouncing, but it made no difference. Can anyone offer me a clue? I just want my simple little document to display rather than download. Thanks, -Mark

[xwiki-users] Changing App within minutes behaviour
by dullfig 25 Apr '16

25 Apr '16

I made an App within Minuts application that is basically a list of job responsibilities. It's just two fields, job name and job description. Can I change the "edit" behaviour? If I go to the main page, there is a live table showing a list of all the job descriptions. If you want to "edit" one, you press the edit action, and it takes you to the data input screen to edit the job description. But when you press the "save" button, I want it to save the data and automatically take you back to the main App screen (the list of jobs). Casual users won't know that they are supposed to go back to the main screen.
