by Haru Mamburu 26 Jan '12

26 Jan '12

Hi. all! XEM 3.4. Main Wiki works fine. I want to set up virtual wiki without Workspace Manager application inside and it's links in menu, because as far as I inderstood it is useless in virtual wikis. What is right way to get rid of Workspace Manager and it's links in top menu in virtual wiki? Kind regards, Dmitry

[xwiki-users] Call for test Extension Manager
by Thomas Mortagne 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

Hi xwikiers, I just add clustering support which was the last big peace of framework that was blocking a first fully functional version of Extension Manager. I will now dedicate my time to write tests and fix bugs and small improvements I find and try to fix some UI bugs too if Sergiu does not have time. I also have some improvement work in XWiki Repository and finally make extension.xwiki.org fully based on standard XWiki Repository and not have custom version anymore. During the 3.5 and 4.0 timeframe it would be nice to get as much tests and reports as possible on what is not working or still blocker in term or usability so that we get a nice and strong first version we can advertise in 4.0. There is obviously lots of possible improvements some of which you can find on http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ExtensionManager (and I need to add more things in there) but I would like to limit to a fully working minimum for 4.0 and then do a priority survey on the many new features and improvements ideas. Here are the grey areas I know about and on which I'm going to concentrate on writing tests: * automatic xar merging is a quick implementation not excessively tested. Also the string properties content merging is not able to merge modification done on the same line which is not nice when things like the title is customized in the wiki and also changed in the new version of the xar. Right now in doubt the merge always take the new version when there is a conflict so that nothing is lost since it's easy to get back the previous version from the history. Also I'm not going to have time to work on a real manual conflict resolution UI for this timeframe, not alone at least. * clustering is a bit young ;) Also it expect all members to have the exact same constraints, if for any reason an extension is installed to a member and fail on another it could create quite a mess if that's an important extension. * it's not very hard to add versions and dependencies in XWiki Repository but it require using object editor which is not very nice for all profiles of users (now it's generally done by the developer of the extension so not a basic user either). Will try to work on that if I have some time left. Thanks, -- Thomas Mortagne

The solution we propose for this is WebDAV (search xwiki.org on webdav). Mount your wiki as a webdav driver. This allows you to see the attachments for example. Work in your favorite editor for those attachments. When you save in your editor the attachment is updated remotely. The only possible issue is with concurrent locking. It's possible that if one has the lock others will only be able to open the attachment in read only. To be tested. Let us know!

[xwiki-users] Inserting links to files on network drives
by goldring, richard 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

Hi, Managers and other users at my company like to update excel spreadsheets on work progress. These spreadsheets get updated quite frequently by many users so attaching them to the wiki isn't so practical because of the overhead of checking checking the attachments in and out. So I'd like to make it easier for managers to put in links to these spreadsheets from a wiki page: So the users can (from the wiki WYSIWYG editor) browse to the spreadsheet files and insert them without having to workout the syntax e.g. file:// and the network drive, etc. How might I go about editing/adding macros to do this? Thanks. Regards, Richard

Yes.

[xwiki-users] Selected pages of PDF to image conversion in XWiki?
by Haru Mamburu 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Hi! The task is: - Calculate MD5 of attached PDF document - Extract e.g first 10 pages from the attached PDF file as images - store images as attachments into the document 1. What is the best way to calculate MD5 in XWiki? Is it possible to do via standard velocity scripting in XWiki? 2. Is there any built in/hidden ways of PDF->image conversion of several pages of attached PDF file? If not, what is the solution possible? I found some opensource JAVA libraries, but I realize a big gap in my understanding between libraries and their integration in XWiki with followng velocity scripting usage. Does anyone has a clue where to dig to make all this staff runnung? Thanks in advance, Dmitry

[xwiki-users] How to Configure the search user functionality for a given user group?
by mohit gupta 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Hi All, I have question regarding search functionality i want to give rights in a way so that the users in a certain group should be able search the users of a certain group. For example i have 3 groups G1,G2,G3 . G1 contains user U1,G2 contains user U2 and G3 contains user U3. Now i want to give the the group 1 users rights in a way so that they should be able to search the G1 and G2 users only but not G3 users. I know we can customize the rights of specific group user for a specific space but what about above feature? Is it configurable? Thanks .
