[xwiki-users] What is recommended DB for XWiki?
by Roman Muntyanu 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

Hello, As we are currently migrating our XWiki server to 64bit platform I believe I have freedom to consider switching DB. We are currently using 32bit MySQLv5.0.77 (innodb engine, 500M of attachments stored in-db) so the options are · Upgrade to MySQLv5.6.x · Migrate to PostgreSQL 8.1 (via XWiki export/import as xar backup feature) The question is: which of those databases is more supported? (mostly used for development, supported by admin application, etc) Regards, Roman

[xwiki-users] Sheet - How to use a link for switching between VIEW and EDIT?
by Torsten 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Hi there, Although it sounds really easy, I haven't managed to define a Link that, when pressed, will stay on the same page but change from VIEW mode to the EDIT mode. I tried this [[My Link Text>>$doc.getURL('edit', 'editor=inline')]] And I tried to switch the $context object with set LinksAction() etc. That all does not work as expected. I am currently testing with the admin account to make sure that it is not a rights problem. My solution is based on the FAQ example, i.e. XYZClass, XYZSheet and XYZTemplate. It works nice but Iwant to give the user the ability to switch easily frpm VIEW mode to EDIT mode while viewing an object. I added the above line to XYZSheet. The Link has a questionmark behind it. If I click the Link it shows "edit" in the URL but an empty xwiki edior is opened instead of the form in EDIT mode. The work around is currently to access in VIEW mode first and to replace "view" by "edit" in the Browser URL field - that works but is of course no durable solution. Any help would be great. Thanks a lot Torsten p.s. I am using Xwiki enterprise 3.5.1 under Linux with MySQL

Re: [xwiki-users] [xwiki-devs] How to Include a page without velocity code into another page
by Geo Du 02 Nov '12

Hi Marius, Thanks for your response, it works when I use display macro to include the testpage into the other page, but I need also to include (display) the page with inline mode inside the other page, since user can click the edit pencil button on the right corner of the testpage to edit it, right now the edit button will lead to the testpage in inline mode but the testpage is not inside the other page which originally include(display) the testpage. So how to include or display a page with inline mode into another page? Thanks for your help.

by Geo Du 01 Nov '12

Hi All, I want to include one page into another page in terms of content instead of velocity code, for example, the Blog.WebHome is a page without velocity code if you choose Edit->Wiki, but it has Blog.BlogClass if you select Edit->Objects, from Blog.WebHome page, I can create a new post with tile testpage, now the Blog.testpage is the new page created that I need to include into another page, this testpage has no velocity code from Edit_>Wiki. so how to include that page into a different page? I tried: include Macro, includeInContext Macro, includeTopic Macro, none of them displays the testpage for me, any idea? Thanks very much for your help. David

by Geo Du 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

Hi all, I like to remove some of the menu items based on the user logged in, for example for one type of users, I need to remove the Add menu, or change Wiki, Space or Page menus to my own menus, I checked the users rights, it has View, Comment, Edit, Delete, Register, Program, they seem not designed for that, any suggestions? I checked menuview.vm, that is where to control the menus, it seems I need to change this file. Thanks for your suggestions in advance. David

[xwiki-users] Just questions regarding filesystem storage feature
by Jeremie BOUSQUET 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

Hello, No issues here just needing some insights on filesystem storage ... I just moved to it (on 4.3-milestone-1), and ran script to migrate my attachments from db to filesystem. Though attachments seem to open perfectly well, I'm surprised by the difference in size: file "xwikiattachment_content.MYD" (I'm using MySql as you guess) is about 1,3GB, while my whole folder ${xwiki.data.dir}/storage is only about 600MB. What could explain such a big difference ? (apart from some attachments that may not have been migrated) Considering: "It is prudent to leave the attachments in the database since in most situations the attachment data is not bothersome just sitting in the database (The only risk of attachments left in the database is that they will bloat the size of the database files)" [1] Ok with that, but supposing that I checked my attachments are ok and I'm satisfied with fs storage (or I'm just using a test xwiki that I can blow away without risk), removing attachments from db means cleaning table xwikiattachment_content, is it right ? Can I remove other xwikiattachment* tables, or are they still used to reference the attachments ? (I guess they do but...) Thanks, Jeremie [1] - http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Filesystem+Attachment+…

[xwiki-users] Organising files on the network
by Hamster 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

To all, In our organisation we are using a lot of MS Excel Spreadsheets which holds all kinds of data. These Excel Spreadsheets are stored on our servers, but they are "scattered" across our network. We want to organise there files better. We DONT want to upload these files to XWiki, because we want those file to be easily accessable from our network as well (and we have trouble with large attachments (71Mb) which refuse to be removed from XWiki). We have created multiple spaces in our XWiki, lets say they are called A, B and C. Each space has been "locked down" and only users with the right permissions can access those spaces. I am thinking about creating a new file-structure on our server. One main folder called "XWiki" I want to create sub-folders "A", "B" and "C". Our IT department will apply the correct rights to each sub-folder. In our XWiki, we can then create UNC-links to the files on our server (which I create by hand, because I am the only one with the knowledge to create these links :-). What do you think about this setup? I am interrested in all opinions, experiences, etc. P.s. With "MS Excel Spreadsheets" I mean all kinds of files :-) -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Organising-files-on-the-network-tp7582099… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] images are missing when running wiki in disk mode?
by mohit gupta 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

Hi all, I log in to wiki with my admin credentials. Now navigate to administer wiki but i do not see the wiki default images like configuration.png,lf.png,usersgroups.png etc When i go to firebug and inspect that image , i see the path as /mywiki/bin/download/XWiki/AdminSheet/configuration.png but there is no folder like this under mywiki (looks like they are stored in db and returned thru servlet.Just a guess) Just for information, i am running my wiki instance in disk mode so that all my attachments are stored in file system instead of db. Below is the change i did for that:- xwiki.store.attachment.versioning=0 # disable document recycling storage.attachment.recyclebin=0 xwiki.store.attachment.hint = file xwiki.store.attachment.versioning.hint = file xwiki.store.attachment.recyclebin.hint = file *I am not sure what i am missing here? Is running wiki under disk mode the cause for it ?, If yes what is the right way to proceed?*
