[xwiki-users] XWiki API - Save Document, Keep Editor?
by Chris Wagner 28 Dec '10

28 Dec '10

Hello, Sorry to be coming up with so many questions. At the moment, when certain documents on our Wiki are saved, we run a handler to set some salient information in the document's properties, then save the document to update them. This sets the "Editor" to the author of the handler that is doing the resaving. Is it possible to prevent this from happening, and keep the original editor? We are using the standard http://maven.xwiki.org/site/xwiki-core-parent/xwiki-core/apidocs/com/xpn/xw…, boolean) save method with minor revision set to true. Thank you, Chris -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/XWiki-API-Save-Document-Keep-Editor-tp587… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Document.save but no change saved?
by Paul Libbrecht 27 Dec '10

27 Dec '10

Hello XWikiers, I am troubled with XWiki's objects and documents save operations by a programme, groovy or velocity. The following doesn't seem to work for me: // <% import com.xpn.xwiki.api.Document; import com.xpn.xwiki.api.Object; import com.xpn.xwiki.api.XWiki; //XWiki xwiki; Document doc = xwiki.getDocument("space.www"); // set to write mode (i.e. activate cloned back-end) doc.setTitle(doc.getTitle()); Object obj = doc.getObject("Space.ClassName"); obj.set("propName",1); doc.save("Fiddling"); doc = xwiki.getDocument("space.www"); println("propName: " + doc.getObject("Space.ClassName").getProperty("propName").getValue()); // %> It does create a new history step at each display of this page but I can't seem to be able to set the property propName (which is of type boolean). The property always displays as value-less (e.g. in the object editor). thanks for clues and advice for saving xwiki objects. paul

[xwiki-users] Questionaire
by Wouter de Vos 24 Dec '10

24 Dec '10

Hi everyone, I'm working with Xwiki for a few months now, and I am really pleased with all it has to offer, and enjoying the vivid community mailing as well. I want to put a questionaire in my wiki, lets say 10 questions with open text fields for answers and as well some multiple choice possibilities. Then I want a submit button that sends the whole thing to an email address. I am experimenting with importing html forms, which work OK-ish, except for the mailto submit, which gives nasty popups from IE. I come from a HTML background and im not that stable (yet) with groovy, php and all that. What is the best way to make my questionnaire? How do i make a decent submit button? If all this is old news, please send me links to previous posts, but i looked for the last 3 hours and did not find anything on this subject that i understood. Thanks everyone for your help in advance, Wouter

[xwiki-users] [XWord] Can't create System log file
by Paul Harris 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Hi again, I've been investigating problems with XWord. One of the big problems on Vista and Windows7 is this line in Log.cs EventLog.CreateEventSource(eventSource, logName); It can't create a system log at this point as that must be done as Administrator... and normally its the User running XWord/Word at this point. This sort of thing is supposed to be done at the point of installation, but I don't have any idea of how to do this yet. Does anyone know? Can someone please explain how the XWord installer works? The "Setup XWord" project appears to be completely empty to my untrained eye! thanks Paul

[xwiki-users] 4Developers: Questions about disappointing small bugs and missed conveniences
by Eugen Colesnicov 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Hi Developers! I am sorry for some inconvenience, but at the ending of XE 2.x cycle, I saw some discussions about plans for finilazing 2.x and for the 3.x future development. All features are very interesting, very progressive and will move XWiki forward. But unfortunatly for a long time existing some very disappointing small bugs and disappointing missed conveniences. I read carefully most of yours discussions, but I don't see, that this problems stay in focus now. For this reason, I want to ask about these issues. This is important for me, because without resolving the following issues maybe I will be forced to migrate to another colaboration adn app.development platform. If is it possible, can somebody give some plans about my issues (will be resolved near future, not in plans, etc...)? MULTILANGUAGE: 1) What about supporting any symbols (russian, chinese, space simbol and others) in a attachment filenames? 2) When will be resolving problems with russian symbols when I try to import document from some file (use openoffice service) or use viewoffice macro/feature? (but when I copy document content from the clipboard - all is ok) 3) What about idea of separating interface language selection and document content language selection? I read this idea after was separated document header and main application header. 4) Need possibilities to create own clases with supporting multilanguage content (Also, old question). I can now create own applications only with multilanguage interface (livetable headers, forms captions and etc.). Each of these issues is not critical, but together its create point of view, that XWiki ONLY DECLARE multilanguage, not real comprehensive multilanguage... Same situation with another group of questions. APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT PLATFORM: 5) Have you plans (and when) to fully implement XWQL? (possibility to use XWQL in a own class query (database list property, resolve issues with dates in XWQL, etc.). 6) What about full implementation of Groovy / Velocity? Witch language will be main? Because in some situations I haven't possibility to use velocity (for example in a sheduler script) in others - cannot normal use groovy ... OTHERS: 7) office attachment preview - why "eye" exists only on doc, xls, pdf files? What about docx, xlsx, odf, ... (all formats OpenOffice and Office2007)? OpenOffice has suporting all these formats. 8) Main menu (green) "ADD" "Page" - Page creates with parent of current space (if you didn't indicate space). Why? Normally (for example in a "Create Page" Panel), if you didn't show special space page will be created in a current space with parent of a current page. (As a result I cannot use this feature at all). 9) some restrictions of a WebDAV implementation (issues with authentication, browsers issues, ...) As you can see, many of a old and new features (multilanguage, offce preview, webdav, create pages besed on template provides, query datas, create own classes, and etc.), are magnificent in a general, but not implemented totally in details. As a result - most of these great features users cannot use at all! Maybe will be great to stop all future development and concentrate (1-2 month) on issuses like described here in a XWiki 2.x cycle? Many another large-scale software teams made like this in a some periods. They freeze development and focused on a past issues, on a clarification and deepening of a curennt features results and details. What you think about this? PS. All these issuses appeared before in a xwiki forums or in a jira ... If need to define more exactly some of my questions - I, with great pleasure, will give more explanations on each of them. -- Best regards Eugen Colesnicov -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/4Developers-Questions-about-disappointing… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] object template and groovy
by Vito Impagliazzo 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

I have created a XWiki class as described in the FAQTutorial ( http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial) I have then modified the Document Sheet code, and I have tried to use groovy scripting instead of velocity. However when creating a new object, I get the error Failed to execute the [groovy] macro org.xwiki.rendering.macro.MacroExecutionException: You don't have the right to execute this script whereas the same works if I translate the code into velocity. Editing an existing page with the groovy script works fine, it only fails when creating a new document. Any idea? thanks Vito
