[xwiki-users] Troubles with Document Tree
by Julien 04 May '17

04 May '17

Hello, We decided to use XWiki as our company wiki. I am trying to configure it, but currently I'm stuck at implementing a very simple Document Tree as a panel. Our Wiki is in one space : Main, which contains three children pages, let's say Our A, Our B and Our C. I'm trying to build a document tree to list all the subpages starting to Our A instead of Main. Currently, using this reference as root: $services.model.createDocumentReference('xwiki', 'Main', 'WebHome') I can build a document tree showing the 3 sub-pages. However, I couldn't manage to catch the reference of one of the sub-page. I tried : $services.model.createDocumentReference('xwiki', 'Main', 'Our A') $services.model.createDocumentReference('xwiki', 'Main.Our A', 'WebHome') $services.model.createDocumentReference('xwiki', 'Our A', 'WebHome') but none of them is working. I don't know if the problem comes from the space, or if I'm not getting at all the notion of spaces and pages (which is deprecated from what I read). Thank you for your help, J -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Troubles-with-Document-Tree-tp7603755.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] News panel wizard
by Sebastian Luna Valero 04 May '17

04 May '17

Hello, Is it possible to make announcements to users on XWiki so they can see it easily when they log in? Not sure whether this functionality is already available somehow on XWiki (I'm using version 8.4.5) and I am thinking of presenting the announcements within a panel wizard similar to one like "recently modified". Best regards, Sebastian

[xwiki-users] Trouble with nested pages after upgrade from 5.X version
by jan.stehlik＠gmail.com 04 May '17

04 May '17

Hi, Please, I run into strange situation after upgrade from obsolete version 5.4.5 to 9.3.1. Now I have for example following links: https://czwiki2/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Komunity/ https://czwiki2/xwiki/bin/view/Komunity/ Both links are pointing to same page, however I would like to have just one link. Rename or deleting always affect both links. Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks!

[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] Question about activating css source maps and cache cleaning
by Interaktionsweise 03 May '17

03 May '17

Hi, I've been wondering if there is something else do to to get the source maps for css enabled. I followed the instructions on the Extension page of the "LESS Module". I edited and un-commented the property "lesscss.generateInlineSourceMaps = true" within "xwiki.properties". Afterwards I restarted the server service. I also switched color themes to clean the cache. But I cannot see a change in the developer views of Chromium or Firefox. Every style still refers to style.css. At this point I also want to ask about the usage of the manual cleaning method for the cache. The documentation says that I can use the LESS CSS script service and provides a snippet {{velocity}} $service.lesscss.clearCache() {{velocity}} But where should I put this? The section "Script Service" on the LESS Module page only has a link to the source code on GitHub. I'm still digging into the XWiki world so maybe it is just a matter of time if can figure it out. The whole velocity less scripting thing is a huge topic though. Regards, sthag

[xwiki-users] Question to skins and inheriting files
by Interaktionsweise 03 May '17

03 May '17

Hi, I'm trying to create a new skin. I followed the section Skins within the Developer's Guide and also Platform Features / Skins. The article "How to create a new skin" says to copy the whole colibri (should be flamingo by now) skin folder and make an example change. Then there is a part about skin.properties. The property "parent" indicates a skin to inherit from. It says that it always has a value, even if I don't explicitly enter one for myself it will inherit from WAR or whatever is configured in "xwiki.defaultbaseskin". Does that mean I don't have to copy the whole flamingo folder if I reference flamingo as "parent"? This way I could only create a custom named folder within the xwiki/skins folder with the skin.properties file and for example a logo.png file which would replace the flamingo logo.png file. I don't understand the behavior and the functionality of this inheriting and parent child relation of skins from the articles in the documentation. Why have a parent if I copy the whole skin folder anyways? Regards, sthag

[xwiki-users] Page Administration: Rights: Page & Children
by Thomas Froehlich 03 May '17

03 May '17

Hello, I have a problem to set up the right page permissions (or may be I have a understanding problem ... ) using XWIKI 9.3 I want to set up access permissions to a certain page and to all children of this page. - A group "XWikiAdminDocumentation" was created. - A page "Administration" was created to be filled with documentation for administrators only. - Only members of group "XWikiAdminDocumentation" should have access to page "Administration" (and all coming child pages of "Administration"). - At page "Administration", menu "Administer Page - Users and Groups - Rights: Page & Children" I set up the following permissions: --- ALL rights to groups "XWikiAdminDocumentation" and "XWikiAdminGroup". --- NO rights to groups like "XWikiAllGroup" and "XWikiGuests". --- Please, have a look at the attached screenshot (sorry fort he "German screenshot" but the screenshot should be self-explaining I hope). - The problems are: --- First thing: As an administrator I can't forbid the right "Admin". Yes, I can disable this right. But if I open the menu "Page Administration: Rights: Page & Children" a second time the former set right "is lost" (see screenshot). --- Second thing: Despite oft he defined page permission rights a user of the group "XWikiAllGroup" kann read and edit the page "Administration". Much worse, this user can also open the "Administer Page" menu and he can change the permissions. I found no corresponding exceptions in the xwiki.log, therefore, from a technical point of view every thing seems to be okay. Now, I have no more ideas what elso to do :( Kind regards, Thomas

[xwiki-users] Installation from .deb packages
by Timo Dachs-Wegmann 02 May '17

02 May '17

Hello all, I have an issue installing the .deb packages from the maven repositories. The installation of xwiki-enterprise-tomcat8-mysql (and all other mysql installations) has a dependency to the old "mysql-server" package from the old versions of debian. It was replaced/removed in debian Jessie. It would be great if you could fix the dependency so the automatic installation works as it should. :) Kind regards, Timo Dachs-Wegmann -IT-
