[xwiki-users] Chinese characters will be replaced by # when exporting a page to PDF
by Billtec 09 Mar '17

09 Mar '17

Hi all,I'm using the xwiki v9.1.2 and I found that when exporting a page to PDF, the non-English characters will be replaced by "#".I spent a lot of time searching in jira.xwiki.org and found that there's similar issues like XWIKI-4724 and XWIKI-1609. However, non of the solutions work on me.Finally I found this commit log in github - https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/437f28bee5545670b2478c93498f… and I manually create a fop-config.xml file in xwiki\WEB-INF\classes folder, with the "" not commented out. Then the problem solved.The question is that why in 2015 the dev team want to comment out the auto-detect propert and it seems that it results on the issue I mentioned above. Will it be fixed in next release?Regards,Bill -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Chinese-characters-will-be-replaced-by-wh… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Tagging user to get their attention.
by Oliver Angélil 09 Mar '17

Is it possible to do this on a page to alert a user if you would like to get them to view some page/comment? I.e. this is a useful feature on Facebook, but then I guess most of don't use Facebook. ;) Thanks, Oliver

Hello All, I’m new to xwiki, and have lots of questions. Running xwiki 9.1.2 on Mac OS X, lion, on an old mac. Its looking pretty good but… 1. Starting up there are some error messages, and I don’t know how seriously to take them. 2017-03-08 15:37:36.509:WARN:oeja.AnnotationConfiguration:main: ServletContainerInitializers: detected. Class hierarchy: empty 2017-03-08 15:38:03,012 [main] WARN o.r.Reflections - could not create Vfs.Dir from url. ignoring the exception and continuing org.reflections.ReflectionsException: could not create Vfs.Dir from url, no matching UrlType was found [file:/System/Library/Java/Extensions/QTJava.zip] either use fromURL(final URL url, final List<UrlType> urlTypes) or use the static setDefaultURLTypes(final List<UrlType> urlTypes) or addDefaultURLTypes(UrlType urlType) with your specialized UrlType. at org.reflections.vfs.Vfs.fromURL(Vfs.java:109) at org.reflections.vfs.Vfs.fromURL(Vfs.java:91) at org.reflections.Reflections.scan(Reflections.java:237) at org.reflections.Reflections.scan(Reflections.java:204) at org.reflections.Reflections.<init>(Reflections.java:129) at org.xwiki.extension.maven.internal.MavenExtensionScanner.scan(MavenExtensionScanner.java:150) 2. The soft shutdown ./stop_xwiki.sh never works, it always goes in for the kill. any thoughts? thanks in advance Keith

[xwiki-users] Upgrade to 8.4.4 Read Only have Copy Option
by Stev Williams 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

Hi, I have recently upgraded our xwiki from 7.4.4 to 8.4.4 and all seemed to go well, however one thing has come up in that if a user or a group has read only access to the Wiki on 8.4.4 the cog is appearing with just the option to Copy. I have tried to copy a page with a read only test account and it will not allow the copy which is fine however any ideas why the option is showing and is there anything I can do to get rid of it? Regards

[xwiki-users] Customizing navigation menu in sidebar
by Willi Schiegel 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

Dear All, is it possible to customize the navigation menu in the sidebar, for example to change the ordering from automatic alphabetical to a manual order? Would be the extension "Menu Application" the right choice for this? Thank you very much. Best, Willi

[xwiki-users] LDAP Authentication extension config
by Douglas Landau 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

Hi, Another dumb question, apologies in advance. I'm running Tomcat 9.0 + mysql 5.7 + XWiki 8.4.3 installed from WAR. I installed the LDAP authentication thru the extensions manager, at least I think I did, but don't see the installed package files anywhere. Nor do I see anything about it in the GUI. Except in the extensions manager, that it was installed to Farm. This page: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/LDAP/Authenticator/#HG… says to edit your xwiki.cfg as follows. But I don't see the lines below in my xwiki.cfg. I am supposed to add them, I guess? Or was there some step I was supposed to take to get me from "Installed on Farm" to "Installed on Xwiki" ? Thanks! Doug Generic LDAP configuration In order to enable the LDAP support you have to change the authentication method in WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg as follows: #-# LDAP authentication service xwiki.authentication.authclass=org.xwiki.contrib.ldap.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl #-# Turn LDAP authentication on - otherwise only XWiki authentication #-# - 0: disable #-# - 1: enable #-# The default is 0 xwiki.authentication.ldap=1 You can setup the LDAP configuration in the xwiki.cfg file by filling the following properties: #-# Turn LDAP authentication on - otherwise only XWiki authentication #-# - 0: disable #-# - 1: enable #-# The default is 0 xwiki.authentication.ldap=1 #-# LDAP Server (Active Directory, eDirectory, OpenLDAP, etc.) #-# The default host is localhost xwiki.authentication.ldap.server=localhost #-# The default port is 389 (636 if xwiki.authentication.ldap.ssl is enabled) # xwiki.authentication.ldap.port=389 #-# LDAP credentials, empty = anonymous access, otherwise specify full dn #-# {0} is replaced with the user name, {1} with the password xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN=cn={0},department=USER,department=INFORMATIK,department=1230,o=MP xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass={1} -----Original Message----- From: users [mailto:users-bounces@xwiki.org] On Behalf Of Douglas Landau Sent: Monday, March 06, 2017 1:44 PM To: XWiki Users Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Stopping Xwiki-8.4.3/Tomcat-9.0 and integrating with systemctl >Port in <server> property is a Tomcat system port used for shutdown, it should not be confused with a port Tomcat service connector listens on (client connection port like 80, 8080, 443 etc). So changing it to 8080 is not what you should've done, I think. Thanks. I changed it back to 8005. But when I start up it is still not listening on 8005, and so the shutdown script does not work. What have I overlooked/do I have to do to enable port 8005 shutdown?

Re: [xwiki-users] Android Authenticator (XWiki API)
by Thomas Mortagne 06 Mar '17

Hi, Your candidacy does seems interesting but the policy at XWiki is to talk with the community ideally, not just the official mentor. Basically the mentor is the community but I have the duty to make sure the student will have answers to his/her questions and follow the his/her progress ;) The XWiki main REST API is documented on http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XWikiRESTfulAPI and the good news is that some of the limitations the API had last year that Fitz had to work around during the GSOC project have been fixed since. Still ideally this application should work with the oldest possible version of XWiki and not require anything newer than 8.4.x which is the current LTS.
