[xwiki-users] IE6 iframe security issue
by twk3 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

Possibly related to a very old issue: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1072 The issue: From within an IE6 iframe, xwiki makes some of it's file requests to the parent domain.(In my case, they have all been css file request.) My setup: XWiki Enterprise is running on an offsite server, publically available on the internet. On my local machine I am working on a website. The website contains an iframe that goes to the xwiki. When I load up my local website in IE6, these requests are sent to my local machine: GET /xwiki/bin/skin/skins/toucan/style.css - 404 330 - 1 http://192.168.0.109:8182 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) http://example.com/xwiki/bin/view/Guide-01/WebHome GET /xwiki/bin/skin/skins/toucan/print.css - 404 330 - 1 http://192.168.0.109:8182 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) http://example.com/xwiki/bin/view/Guide-01/WebHome GET /xwiki/bin/skin/skins/toucan/style%2Dkaki.css - 404 330 - 1 http://192.168.0.109:8182 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) http://example.com/xwiki/bin/view/Guide-01/WebHome GET /xwiki/resources/js/xwiki/suggest/ajaxSuggest.css - 404 330 - 0 http://192.168.0.109:8182 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) http://example.com/xwiki/bin/view/Guide-01/WebHome GET /xwiki/resources/js/xwiki/fullscreenedit/fullscreenEdit.css - 404 330 - 1 http://192.168.0.109:8182 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) http://example.com/xwiki/bin/view/Guide-01/WebHome GET /xwiki/bin/skin/resources/js/xwiki/lightbox/lightbox.css - 404 330 - 1 http://192.168.0.109:8182 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) http://example.com/xwiki/bin/view/Guide-01/WebHome GET /xwiki/bin/skin/resources/js/xwiki/lightbox/lightboxIE.css - 404 330 - 1 http://192.168.0.109:8182 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) http://example.com/xwiki/bin/view/Guide-01/WebHome I do not see these requests while using the latest Opera or Firefox. Is this the IE6 iframe messing up some relative paths, or is xwiki actually sending the requests to the parent domain? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/IE6-iframe-security-issue-tp2652428p2652428.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Invalid URL after a $xwiki.getURL() + deconnection
by Jean Couteau 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

Hi list, I have a really weird bug which is quite annoying and I don't find any solution to it : I want to edit a page in inline mode. I have a form to select the page to edit with a button. I use the $xwiki.getURL() method to get the right URL. When i select my page and click on the edit button, I have an invalid URL error and i am deconnected. What is weird is that if I reconnect and actualize the page I can access it. The second weird thing is that I use exactly the same method to edit other pages form other forms in the same first page and I do not have the problem. I am quite lost with this issue. I tried to recreate the URL as a string but I have the same problem. I am thinking maybe this is a known bug in xwiki. If not maybe i am missing something somewhere. Please open my eyes on the obvious i am missing in my code : <FORM method=POST action=""> <input type="hidden" name="backlog" value="${backlogId}" /> <input type="hidden" name="webname" value="Project" /> <input type="hidden" name="name" value="backlog" /> <input type="hidden" name="domain" value="${domainId}" /> <input type="hidden" name="cut" value="${cut}" /> Select topic : <SELECT name="topic"> #foreach ($item in $topiclist) #set ($topic=$xwiki.getDocument(${item}).getObject("XWiki.TopicClass")) <OPTION VALUE="${topic.id}">$topic.get("name")</OPTION> #end </SELECT> <input type="button" value="Select" onclick='{this.form.action="../../view/" + this.form.webname.value + "/" + this.form.name.value + "?backlog=" + this.form.backlog.value + "&domain=" + this.form.domain.value + "&topic=" + this.form.topic.value.substring(this.form.topic.value.lastIndexOf("${separator}")+1) + "&cut=" + this.form.cut.value; this.form.submit(); }'/> <input type="button" value="Edit" onclick='{url="Project."+this.form.topic.value; this.form.action="${xwiki.getURL(url, "inline")}"; this.form.submit(); }' /> </FORM> Note that the problem is only with the Edit button, the other is working fine. Thanks in advance for your help. Jean. -- ---- Jean Couteau Code Lutin - http://www.codelutin.com 44 Bd des Pas Enchantés - 44230 St-Sébastien/Loire Tél : 02 40 50 29 28 - Fax : 09 59 92 29 28

[xwiki-users] Encoding problem with external database
by Zik23 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

Hi, I am using XWiki with external database with my own data. I am using SQL plugin. When I run this simple script: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #set ($mydb=$xwiki.sql.getDatabase("jdbc/xwiki_conference")) $mydb.executeUpdate("UPDATE table SET title = 'ěščřžýáí' WHERE id = 1"); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - I get "?š??žýáí" saved in the database. My web.xml and xwiki.cfg are set to UTF-8, database has utf8_general_ci as encoding. What else should I change to save the characters properly? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Encoding-problem-with-external-database-tp2645316p2645… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Questions about custom authentication
by Mathias Herberts 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

Hi, I'm in the process of evaluating XWiki and I'm trying to integrate it with our SSO. I've so far written a class that extends XWikiAuthServiceImpl and I'm seeing calls to checkAuth and showLogin, but I don't really understand the logic behind those different calls. checkAuth seems to be called very frequently with XWiki.XWikiGuest as the user even though I returned a valid XWikiUser after the call that followed the authentication. Is there a document that explains what the different methods in XWikiAuthService do and when they are called? Any help or pointer would be appreciated. Mathias.

[xwiki-users] Dynamic 'Database List' / 'Static List' on a page
by juergen 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Hello, I´m looking for a dynamic 'Database List' at my Wiki. I wan´t to select with the first 'Database List' the category and then select multiple items of sub categories in the second 'Database List'. The second 'Database List' has to show the actual sub categories dependent of the selected first 'Database List'. Database: +Category_1 |-Subcategory_1_1 |-Subcategory_1_2 |-Subcategory_1_3 |-Subcategory_1_4 +Category_2 |-Subcategory_2_1 |-Subcategory_2_2 |-Subcategory_2_3 |-Subcategory_2_4 +Category_3 . . . . I´m testing the 'Database Tree' but when multiselect is enabled I can select items in all Categories. Is there a possibility to realize this with standard classes? Have I got to use a script like java script or something similar. Have somebody an example or some information how to design this on a xwiki database? Thank you very much! Best Regrades Juergen

[xwiki-users] new install, 404 error
by Ken Teague 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

CentOS 5.3 Tomcat 5.5.23 PostgreSQL 8.1.11 Xwiki 1.8.1 I installed Xwiki 1.8.1 from the WAR file but get a 404 error when I browse to http://host:8080/xwiki. Rather than detailing the procedure here, I posted it to http://rafb.net/p/FhUlVP37.html for (hopefully) easier reading. I did confirm that Tomcat is listening on port 8080 and I get its default page when I browse to http://host:8080/. For the time being, I've disabled SELinux and iptables for testing. I followed the instructions for the installation of Tomcat and PostgreSQL that is detailed on the xwiki.org web site. http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationTomcat http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationPostgreSQL

[xwiki-users] XWiki 1.8.1 Editor problem, lost line breaks and escaped wiki syntax
by Jonas Almfeldt 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Hi, I hope someone out there can help me with this very strange problem with the editors. I have WYSIWYG as the default editor, and have edited the xwiki.properties and set xwiki/2.0 as default editor syntax. Scenario: I create a new page. Wysiwyg editor is default. Editing the following content: Heading 1 bold text bold text And saving. It looks nice when viewing the new page, with "Title 1" formatting of the heading line and bold text on the second and third lines. But when I chose to edit the page again, the wysiwyg editor appears, with the following faulty content: = heading 1 = **bold text line 1** **bold text line 2**\\ \\ Hitting the Preview button from wysiwyg editor shows the same result, raw xwiki/2.0 syntax, minus the original line breaks in the preview mode. If I instead of preview change to the Wiki editor mode, the content is escaped: ~= heading 1 = ~*~*bold text line 1~*~* ~*~*bold text line 2~*~*~\~\ ~\~\ And if cycling between the editors once more from there, even more escape ~ characters occur. What am I doing wrong? config issue? or is this a bug? wysiwyg editor appears not to be able to parse xwiki/2.0 syntax in 1.8.1? Details: * XWiki 1.8.1 stable * WebSphere Application Server 6.1 fixpack 21 Kind regards, Jonas
