[xwiki-users] Task Manager Extension
by Stev Williams 28 Sep '16

28 Sep '16

Hi, Is it possible to setup multiple Task Managers?For our Wiki we have various teams that use it and each would like its own task manager. I have had a look around and can't see any option to do this within the extension itself but wondered if I am missing something. Regards

[xwiki-users] Skins - Fix Nav Menus when scrooling page content
by Ramon Gomes Brandao 28 Sep '16

28 Sep '16

Hi XWiki Team, I'm trying to design a new skin based on flaming to attend our company's use cases (with XE 8.x) and we were required to fix the top menu divs (for instance, the menuview div and the headerglobal div), as well as, if possible, side panels, while scrooling the page content. The side panels div shoud also be scroolabe, when the elements overflow the viewport. I could not achieve any success overriding some flamingo's CSS and trying to fix elements with position CSS statement. How is the best way to achieve that using a new skin approach? I won't also forget to be responsible for small screens, so fixing side panels and top menu is not a good idea. How is the best way to deal with this? Best Regards, RAMON BRANDÃO

[xwiki-users] Access object from other page
by Tarekskayv 28 Sep '16

28 Sep '16

Hello all, I just started with xwiki and i've some trouble to access to object from another page. I don't know if what i'm doing is the best way to do it or not. First i'll explain what i would like to do, and after explain which way i've choose to do it. So, i would like to create a "reference" page. I mean in this page create a table with all the datas i need for ex : *PAGE CONFIG :* |IP|HOSTNAME|ROLE 192.168.0.1|ROUTER|WAN 192.168.0.2|FIREWALL|FIREWALL 192.168.0.3|SERVER1|AD/DC 192.168.0.4|SERVER2|DNS1 192.168.0.5|SERVER3|DNS2 .... Then i create differents FAQ pages where i would like to insert info as "connect on DNS1 (ip : 192.168.0.4)".... But if one day, the ip adress or hostname change (for some reason..) i just have to change the data in the page CONFIG and automatically will be changed on all other pages. Like that no need to edit all pages ... So, what i've done... Probably not the best way to do it. I've create a page with class and object + template. It create for each server a new page with all info i need. so i've for example : *PAGE IP : * IP : 192.168.0.1 HOSTNAME : ROUTER ROLE : WAN *PAGE FIREWALL : * IP : 192.168.0.2 HOSTNAME : FIREWALL ROLE : FIREWALL ... for all other page Now, what i'm looking for is on an other page : *PAGE FAQ 1 * access to the object of the page FIREWALL and display the content of the object. I can display the object of the own page but not from another page. Could you help me in this task plz my code : i don't know how refer the object of the specific page #set($object = $doc.getObject('test.XWikiTestClass')) $object.display('IP', 'view') $object.display('HOSTNAME', 'view') $object.display('ROLE', 'view') Regards -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Access-object-from-other-page-tp7601415.h… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Change page into terminal page
by Gerritjan Koekkoek 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

We have just migrated from 6.4 to 8.2.x A page holding a UIEXtension object has a parameter: icon=image:cdlsServices.cdlsNews@nw-news-icon.png In a panel we display the pages holding these UIExtension objects To display the image we use: #set($icon = $services.rendering.render($services.rendering.parse("image:${params.icon}", 'xwiki/2.1'), 'xhtml/1.0')) It used to generate a string: xwiki/bin/download/cdlsServices/cdlsNews/nw-news-icon.png But after migration it generates: xwiki/bin/download/cdlsServices/cdlsNews/WebHome/nw-news-icon.png (notice the WebHome part...) The browser reports that it can not find the image!. When going to the attached image and showing it: xwiki/bin/download/cdlsServices/cdlsNews/nw-news-icon.png And this url display's the image. I guess there are multiple paths to a solution here? - Can I change the page holding the UIExtension to a terminal page? How? - different use of rendering services? - ....???

[xwiki-users] Problems with both WYSIWYG editors
by alx_0x41 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

Hi Everyone, I've been testing XWiki for a few days and there are several problems with both GWT and CKEditor editors. With the CKEditor: 1. In 95% of cases the tree view button in the "add link" dialog is not working. In the google developer console I see the following messages when opening the editor: tree.js:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < hierarchy.js:1 Uncaught TypeError: b is not a function Seems like in Chrome that happens more often then in Firefox. Tried both production-like WAR installation and the versions from the "graphical installer for all platfroms" - both 8.2 and 8.3-M1. 2. Sometimes the editor just does not show up at all - the editor load progress indicator inside the page is rotating and nothing happens. Could not find and error messages. Seems that this does not depend on any particular page contents - sometimes it happens, sometimes not. Tried cleaning the browser cache, but that did not help. 3. The similar problem with the "source" button. Very often it just shows the empty page. If I click it about 5 times on/off then sometimes the contents finally appears, but sometimes I get the raw HTML contents of the whole current page inside the text box. After giving up with CKEditor I tried the GWT editor (although I believe that since the CKEditor became the default one, the GWT might soon became deprecated). But here I met another problem: if I format any cell in a table with either "forecolor" or "backcolor" the removeformat command does not remove these colors. It only works if I switch to the source and put a space between '|' and '(%'. I'm really frustrated, because the table color formating is one of the main reasons I started looking for a new wiki engine for our company and after spending almost two weeks on the evaluation of different products I came to the conclusion that XWiki is currently the best one around. So any help would be very appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Problems-with-both-WYSIWYG-editors-tp7601… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] TOC from other Page
by tskala 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

Probably easy for someone familiar with API. How can I display TOC from other page? Played with {{include}}, {{display}}, {{context}} but none gives results. ( {{display}} is close if it had original page as a context instead of "new".) All I get is heading and empty (or current page) TOC. There must be a way with some velocity based rendering and cropping specific header but have no idea how. Thanks -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/TOC-from-other-Page-tp7601369.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Flamingo color theme advanced Less
by Gerritjan Koekkoek 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

Our Advanced box in the flamingo color theme is getting pretty Big (But it works !) But would it be possible to attach less files to the color theme page and adding something like @import("....waihonabuttons.less") in the advanced box of the color theme? What would I need in the .... part of the filename?

[xwiki-users] Wanted pages as siblings
by tskala 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

According to http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Include-Macro-Usage-tp7597998.html and http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13148 Is there any switch to make non-existent links create sibling pages rather then children? We are trying to use xwiki as a wiki. Meaning we have many terms that interlinks between each other. Atm. it hits "almost unusable" barrier :/ Using Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) example: [[TestMain]] [[TestMain1]] [[TestMain2]] - new link results in: http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/TestMain/ http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/TestMain1/ http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/TestMain1/TestMain2/ In this case TestMain2 cannot use [[TestMain]] nor [[TestMain1]] links (another great inconvenient for "wiki", but let's put that one aside). Given there is no parent linking, we need to use absolute path for any and all links that actually goes to other branches, which is inconvenient on its own. But with unrestricted "create new links as children by default" it means hell. Even worse, creating new page from link doesn't offer any choice of correcting parent, so atm. non-existent links are liability because they must not be under no circumstances clicked or they create unwanted children where no links will work. And to extend the bad things.. we use templates. There are more of them so we need to restrict templates just to specific departments they are meant for. But template provider's visibility restriction seems absolute. It doesn't extend to children of checked parent. Which is also bad, because we cannot even create children easily as they won't see templates they need to. But it also means [[TestMain2]] from above example cannot even be created using template because with "always child link" it doesn't see templates defined for [[Main]]. I tried to make [[TestMain1]] terminal page even if it's not recommended (nor wanted really) but it didn't help. [[TestMain2]] is still offered as [[TestMain1/TestMain2/WebHome]]. And since it's a child it won't see templates defined for [[Main]] even when it should because we need templates for entire branch, without the need to manually administrate every new nested page created so its pages can use templates as well. Any way out of it? Config param to make new links siblings and [[.TestPage1]] for explicit child would solve the worst problems. Offering the same dialog as for new pages so parent could be fixed manually each time would at least help. But links are already pretty hard to use (again, for a wiki; namely anchors and pages from other branches) to make it even harder (with something like mandatory [[..link]] added to every link there is) Using v.8.0 -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Wanted-pages-as-siblings-tp7601368.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
