by Thomas Mortagne 28 Feb '17

Hi XWikiers, Good news, this year again XWiki has been selected as mentor organization ! The next step is for mentors to register to https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ as ask to be mentor for XWiki project (admins can also send invitations). Also don't hesitate to add more proposals on http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/ (there is only proposals from two mentors right now), more details or co-mentor existing proposals. Some students already started to communicate with the community which is great so continue and read http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Guidelines to have a better idea of how to get more chance to be selected by XWiki mentors. Good GSOC 2017 ! -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-users] Groovy equivalents to Velocity examples
by [IDIS Technical Secretariat] Ricardo Rodríguez 27 Feb '17

27 Feb '17

Hi! After many years surviving with Velocity scripts, it is time to enjoy Groovy's magic! :-) Both XWiki sites and the web, in general, are crowded with sites/pages with plenty of Groovy tutorials and manuals, but it would be great to have some simple examples to helping understand the similarities and differences between Velocity and Groovy. Please, is there any XWiki resource explaining, for instance, how to achieve the same results shown in these sections by using Groovy? http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/APIGuide#HAccessobjectsin… http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/APIGuide#HAccessobjectsfr… Thanks for your help!

It seem that you use a mysql database to store your xwiki pages, then you must copy (or download) your MySQL JDBC Driver JAR like indicate here: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationMySQL#HInst… <<You need to have the MySQL JDBC Driver JAR (named mysql-connector-java*.jar) installed in XWiki's WAR file.

[xwiki-users] PlantUML
by Timo Dachs-Wegmann 27 Feb '17

27 Feb '17

Hello, I want to draw a UML Diagram with the XWiki Plugin "PlantUML". As I tested it, I found a problem with the feature of including links in the diagram. I can't connect an URL to an object, because XWiki seems to import the Macro as a picture (something like jpeg or gif). There is a good Manual on how to insert links on the HowTo Page of PlantUML.com ( http://plantuml.com/incubation ). The one I tried was a very basic test: @startuml Bob -> Alice : ok url of Bob is [[http://www.google.com]] @enduml The problem with this is, that you can't click on "Bob" as a link because the link is not passed through to the XWiki page. Maybe you have an idea how to solve it or could tell me if there is a way to work around this. Thank you in advance Kind regards, Timo Dachs-Wegmann -IT-

[xwiki-users] Upgrading xwiki
by Timo Dachs-Wegmann 24 Feb '17

24 Feb '17

Hello, I'm trying to upgrade our xwiki from 7.1.2 to 9.0. I figured out how to do it with copying the xwiki.cfg, xwiki.properties and hibernate.cfg.xml but I can't use the new .jars in the WEB-INF/lib directory. If I import the 9.0.jars tomcat7 can't find the xwiki Main page. I tried to configure it in hibernate.cfg.xml but it looks okay to me. On the Upgrading Page http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Upgrade Tom Neumann said, that you have to copy the MySQL Connector file from the old xwiki installation. At first I couldn't find it so I replaced the whole WEB-INF/lib directory with the old one. That is working but now I have all the old .jars from 7.1.2... So I decided to replace them with the new ones but that doesn't work because as I said above Tomcat won't find the pages. I tried to copy only one at a time to figure out which one needs to be configured or has to stay the same as in the old version but every .jar I copy gives me the same error... Could you help me please? I have now a 9.0 Version running (as it says on the bottom of my page) but with all the 7.1.2 libs in the WEB-INF folder... Thank you in advance. Kind regards, Timo Dachs-Wegmann -IT-

[xwiki-users] PageName with "plus" character
by Eugen Colesnicov 23 Feb '17

23 Feb '17

Hello, When I creating page inside XWiki (version 8.4.4) and my page name contains character "plus" (+), for example "Test+Metric+Report" in browser address bar this page name looks like (visually) as "http://localhost/bin/view/Sandbox/Test%2BMetric%2BReport/" but, in xwiki.org site page with same name looks as created - for example (real page) - http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/Test+Metric+Report/ Why exists difference? Maybe need some additional configuration? -- Eugen -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/PageName-with-plus-character-tp7602825.ht… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Failed to Save Error
by Jesse Bright 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Whenever I save a new class (app?) based wiki page (blog, FAQ or custom app) I get a red error at the bottom of the page that reads: "Failed to save the page. Reason: Server not responding" The strange thing is the page did save. Other than the error message nothing appears to be wrong. Any thoughts on what could be causing this or where I should begin troubleshooting? Regards, Jesse
