[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] Menu extension and secondary wiki
by redactech 22 May '17

22 May '17

Hi, I am using the menu extension and I have trouble parametring it while I use a secondary wiki. The screenshot was taken from the secondary wiki. I am wondering why pages of the primary wiki are not linked anymore to the menu 1 in the secondary wiki, and how could I put the menu 2 under the menu 1? <http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/file/n7603550/pb_app_menu.png> Thanks for your help. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Menu-extension-and-secondary-wiki-tp76035… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] [Proposal][UX] Feedback for Visible Save buttons
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 09 May '17

09 May '17

Hi, We had some users complaining that the first time they edit a page they don't know how to save it. Depending on the screen resolution, the save buttons since they are at the bottom of the page are not visible and some users don't know they need to scroll in order to see them. We want to make some changes to XWiki, that: - Display the save buttons in a fixed bottom bar, when they are out of the viewport, see http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaVisibleSave/bottomB… - When the user scroll, the buttons go into their position, see http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaVisibleSave/after.p… - We compacted the bottom functionalities (summary, minor, auto-save), see before: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaVisibleSave/before.… after: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaVisibleSave/smallVi… What do you think about this proposal? Would it improve the visibility of the buttons? Do you have other ideas? Is it something we should implement? Thanks, Caty

[xwiki-users] [Proposal][UX] Feedback for Explicit Content Actions
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 09 May '17

09 May '17

Hi, We had feedback that new users don't know where to find the 'Edit' and 'Create' buttons. Also there is some confusions of why we have a 'cog' icon that contains actions like 'Delete' and a 'three dots' icon that contain other actions. Would be great if you could tell us which version you prefer: P2: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaLabeledActions/adva… P4: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaLabeledActions/P4_1… Both proposals add backgrounds around the icons, the main difference is that P2 also uses descriptive labels, while P4 keeps the consistency with the top icons and a more minimalist style. For the more actions menu, we want to combine the actions and add category labels, see http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaLabeledActions/more… What do you think? Do you have other solutions for your instances? Did you encounter the same problem? Thanks, Caty

[xwiki-users] OAuth2 Logout
by gfinesch 05 May '17

05 May '17

I'm integrating Xwiki with OAuth2. I managed to login but now I'm struggling with logging out from the server when I click on 'logout' in Xwiki. This is the code snippet that performs the redirection to the server to logout from it: else if ("logout".equals(context.getAction()) && wrappedRequest.getUserPrincipal() != null) { // redirect to the OAuth2 logout page wrappedRequest.setUserPrincipal(null); try { context.getResponse().sendRedirect( configuration.getOAuth2Param( LOGOUT_URL.replace(".", "_"), LOGOUT_URL, "logouturl", context)); } catch (IOException e) { throw new XWikiException(XWikiException.MODULE_XWIKI_USER, XWikiException.ERROR_XWIKI_USER_INIT, "Can't redirect to the OAuth2 logout page", e); } return null; } I wrote a XWikiOAuth2Authenticator class that extends XWikiAuthServiceImpl and overrides checkAuth. The code works since I get redirected to LOGOUT_URL but I also get the following stacktrace due to the calling of other Xwiki classes out of my control: 2017-04-28 17:05:31,155

[xwiki-users] User renamed space - now inaccessible
by D R 03 May '17

03 May '17

Hi everybody, I have a huge issue here with our XWiki 7.4.4 instance running on CentOS 7 / Tomcat 8.0.33. We had a document space "Customer Docs" in a sub wiki "Customers" with several nested docs (customers with more nested docs). A user managed to break the whole document space by renaming it to "@Spain Wiki". When accessing the page now the browser throws a "This page does not work, <SERVERNAME> has redirected too often" (translated from German). I see the pages with the old names in Page Index under deleted documents but when I click the actions icon (which says it can't be restored because it already has been recreated?!) I get the same browser error. Is there any way I can restore the old document space? (Restoring a database backup will not work because too many other things have been changed in other parts of the wiki, the renaming was done on April 20th but discovered today) Regs, Dennis

[xwiki-users] Detailed XWiki Install Info For RPM-Based Systems
by JMorris 29 Apr '17

29 Apr '17

Hi Folks, After LOTS of research, we have decided to seriously explore XWiki; one feature in particular (among many) that stands out is the support for *annotation*. We like the idea of a "*second generation Wiki*" (especially after some extensive experience with MediaWiki and Confluence). Right now the biggest *hurdle is getting a successful install*. We have ready a large number of documents, but have now run out of insights. *TARGET SYSTEM*: VPS running 42.1 OpenSUSE Linux (RPM-based). Latest MySQL (actually MariaDB), Java, Apache etc. Currently a CRM system (PHP-based) and an accounting system (PostBooks) running. *CHALLENGE*: Tomcat and the WAR file. *SPECIFIC QUESTION: What is the best documentation that would enable us to very systematically install and configure XWiki? * /Especially in a non-deb environment. And with details concerning e.g. "ports". Widespread adoption will be encouraged when technically savvy individuals and small teams can try XWiki without having a sysadmin as a permanent team member. / We have voted for a *Bitnami *XWiki stack package. But we don't want to wait! Thanks for any pointers! -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Detailed-XWiki-Install-Info-For-RPM-Based… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] LDAP Authenticator working but "You are not allowed to view this page or perform this action."
by Douglas Landau 27 Apr '17

27 Apr '17

Greets, I don’t get it. I moved my environment.permanentDirectory and got into a messed up state. I started over: I shut down tomcat I said "mysql drop database xwiki" and recreated it and re-granted app privs on xwiki.* I copy-n-pasted the LDAP settings from my previous installation, where LDAP auth was working I started tomcat, wenth thru the distribution wizard, and then installe LDAP Authenticator I stopped tomcat and restarted it Now I can log in with my AD account, but instead of the main page, I see ERROR You are not allowed to view this page or perform this action. I don't get it. I pasted the LDAP setting from a previous install, where LDAP seemed to be working fine. I tried another LDAP account and got the same results. What could I have done wrong? I think that this time the LDAP settings were there before the LDAP authenticator was installed, could that be it? Could it be that I need to open the perms on the permanent data dir? It is writable to the xwiki user, and that is who is executing tomcat. I see this in the catalina log: 2017-04-26 12:29:26,103 [http://dwswiki10.westmarine.net:8080/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin] ERROR o.x.c.l.XWikiLDAPConfig - Error parsing LDAP fields mapping attribute from configuration ... but as I said I didn't get the "You are not allowed..." bit last time around. And the LDAP settings were pasted from there.

[xwiki-users] default language and translation pages
by Vishal 27 Apr '17

27 Apr '17

I have set en (English) as the default language for our wiki (Administer wiki -> Localization -> Default language). Despite this, some of our pages have separate en page in translations. Though it hasn't created any problem for us yet, I have concern whether editing default page reflects the edits in its en page or not.. Also some time back, XWiki supported Marathi (mr) language. But currently, I find it nowhere in the list. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/default-language-and-translation-pages-tp… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Configuration of XWiki registration message not visible to non-admin users
by Gilles Dubochet 27 Apr '17

27 Apr '17

Hi list, This is my first post. Just starting with XWiki, and pretty excited about everything it can do. I’m trying to configure the registration text (what unregistered users see when they create a new account on page XWikiRegister). I changed what I want in Administration:Registration (page heading and welcome message), as described in the XWiki help. However, when an unregistered user goes to the registration page, they will not see my custom message, but a default message above the registration form (note absence of styling): > Registration > Sign up here so you can edit pages and participate in the wiki. > But… when I navigate to the registration page while logged in with my administrator account, I get the page with my customised page heading and welcome message. By navigate, I mean copy the link ".../xwiki/bin/register/XWiki/XWikiRegister" into my address bar. And… when I navigate to the same page while logged in with a non-administrator account, I get an error ("You are not allowed to view this page or perform this action.”). Which is OK, I guess. Can anyone point me towards what might be going on? My best guess is that it is a rights problem (I’ve been fighting with those). But I have no idea where to look. My XWiki version is a hosted enterprise 8.4.4. Thank you so much for your help! Cheers, Gilles
