[xwiki-users] Inclusive groups and membership test in velocity
by Hoani Cross 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hi ! I installed recently the 1.6 version of XWiki and found that a new functionnality allows to add logical groups to the group members list : great ! This recursive inclusion is properly managed in global rights (like allowing a global group for accessing a space) but this does not seem to be included in velo xwiki API. For example I have one client that belongs to its company group XWiki.MyClientCompanyGroup that I added to the group XWiki.Clients. I have a dedicated part of my menu for clients and I tests whether the current user is a client or not with the test `$xwiki.user.isUserInGroup("XWiki.Clients")` which always return false :( Maybe a special macro could help... anyone has a clue ? -- Hoani CROSS Globotraders Tahiti Founder [http://globotraders-tahiti.com]

[xwiki-users] Table style not being affected
by BrianJones 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Sorry, this may be a bit of a pedestrian question, but I've searched the forum, tried the examples given, and followed the examples in the documentation guide all with no avail. On a page, I have a table: <table width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td> <h3>Blah Blah Blah...</h3> <h3>Blah Blah Blah...</h3> </td> <td> {image:Some_image.jpg|400|300| |right} </td> </tr> </table> But for the life of me, I can't get it to render without borders. The border="0" attribute doesn't seem to be working, I tried adding an in-line css to the <table> tag (<table style="border:0;">), this also didn't work. I searched the forums here for some ideas, and it was suggested to edit the table.css file accordingly. The only table.css file I have on my installation is for the albatross skin (which I'm not using). Anyways, just for the sake of being complete, I tried editing this file, and completely REMOVED anything about borders, then restarted Tomcat, and the table still renders with borders. Does anyone have any ideas? It's so simple, yet so aggrivating... Thanks ahead of time guys. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Table-style-not-being-affected-tp1395116p1395116.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Use page as parent instead of space
by BrianJones 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Quick question regarding the 'parent' feature. I'd like to be able to use pages within a space as parents for other pages in that space, to provide a more complete breadcrumbs trail for the user to see. As of now, whenever I create a new page, it is created under the the current space being viewed. I have no problem with this, but I need to be able to provide a more substaintial hierarchy within a space. So, instead of something like this: Space -> Page 1 -> Page 2 -> Page 3 -> Page 4 Could I arrange something like this: Space -> Page 1 -> Page 3 -> Page 4 -> Page 2 -> Page 5 -> Page 6 Is this functionality possible, and if so, how do I change the parent of an already existing page to use a different page as it's parent (instead of the space it resides in)? So many questions, so little time... Thanks again all you fellow XWiki users and Developers, your help is appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Use-page-as-parent-instead-of-space-tp1400305p1400305.… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Login troubles when using a domain name instead of IP address
by BrianJones 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hello all, I'm not sure if I'm explaining this correctly but here goes... I'm using XWiki Enterprise 1.6.1.13621 with Tomcat 6.0.16. Everything works fine when I access the XWiki site through the URL: http://www.my_ip_address:8080/xwiki/, I can login fine, everything works etc... However, when I use a service to route a domain name to that URL, I am unable to login using pre-existing usernames/passwords. To clarify, for example: I use the service to route the URL: http://www.my_domain_name.ca/ to this URL: http://www.my_ip_address:8080/xwiki/. This works in basic functionality, as when I enter the domain name in a browser, the XWiki login page appears, however if I try to login using my login/password that already exists, I am unable to. The domain service I'm using has a feature called 'URLKeeper', which in effect hides the IP address the domain is mapped to from the user. When this feature is turned on, the above behaviour is in effect (can't login, but page displays). When the feature is turned off, I can login using pre-existing XWiki accounts. However, I want the functionality of hiding the IP address from the user. When the feature is turned off, and http://www.my_domain_name.ca/ is entered into the browser, it is then simply converted (and displayed to the user) as: http://www.my_ip_address:8080/xwiki/. Does anyone know if there is a setting in some .cfg file that sets the 'Server Base Url:' (like in Confluence) or something similar? Or has anyone else experienced this difficulty and may be able to lend me a helping hand? Thanks in advance, regards! -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Login-troubles-when-using-a-domain-name-instead-of-IP-… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] How to add new categories to the Event Calendar? And why are my Tags not appearing?
by Gijs 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hi all, First issue: I'm currently working with XWiki 1.4M1 (the standalone installation) and when I go the Event Calendar I get an empty Category list in the New Event area. I did already some research but I just can't find the place to add new categories which can be used by the Event Calendar. I found the page where you can add categories to the Blog (/bin/Blog/Categories) but I was wondering if there is a similar page for the Event Calendar? Or do I need to hard-code the list in /bin/XWiki/CalendarSheet?viewer=code? Second issue: I have added tags to pages in my wiki but they are not appearing on the Tags page. I renamed the xwiki folder (in webapps) but I can't imagine that this is the problem, to be sure I searched for xwiki/bin in all the files and replaced it were necessary. But still the tags are not appearing, who knows what to change? Thank you! Gijs.

[xwiki-users] Edit sections
by Mihails Agafonovs 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hi! In the next XWiki version, is it possible (I'm actually asking or advising, as you wish) to create "edit section" spans into the heading (lalalaedit)? Because it becomes hard to manage these sections using negative margins and absolute positions, besides that, it would be logical that edit section is included in corresponding heading. Ar cieņu, Mihails

[xwiki-users] Trouble with LDAP/ActiveDirectory authentication
by BSayatovic＠amig.com 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

I've set up XWiki 1.6 for my IT department, and configured the LDAP authentication (the new, default XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl) to point to our corporate Active Directory server. For all users in the "US-IS" ActievDirectory group, it works fine; however, I have some users that are split off into "US-info_mgmt" that can't log in. I don't have the power to alter the Active Directory group membership or structure, so I'm stuck with it how it is. #-# only members of the following group will be verified in the LDAP #-# otherwise only users that are found after searching starting from the base_DN xwiki.authentication.ldap.user_group=cn=US-IS,cn=Users,dc=XXXX,dc=YYYY After looking through the XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl, it looks like this is a single value, not multiple. So, I can't simply list two groups. My next thought was to comment this out because the XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl looks like it will ignore the group check if its not set to a value. However, when I did this, no one could log in... sort of. Actually, I was able to log in, but then the custom logo in the skin didn't show up, and the comments area showed another login screen embedded within the page. Any ideas on how I can configure this?

[xwiki-users] Moving a space in 1 xwiki to a different database on different server
by Samuel Lee 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

I have a space in one of our databases on one of our xwiki servers. We would like to isolate this space and move it to it's own database on another server. Is there any easy way to do this? Some of the things I saw involved moving the entire database (which I don't want to do) and I'm not sure the rename space page snippet code will help me move it to another server. Any ideas? Sam

[xwiki-users] 2-1/2 naming questions
by Dave Mangot 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

Bonjour, We've just upgraded to Xwiki 1.6 and I have some questions from a user that are not necessarily 1.6 specific. 1. Is it possible to have a page name with a period (.) in the name. e.g. [Release 1.6]? In Xwiki 1.0 it renders as underlined 6. In Xwiki 2.0, it doesn't even render as a link. In fact, I can't get any Xwiki 2.0 links to render at all. 2. Is it possible to have Xwiki store attachments with spaces in the name? Say I want to store a file that is called "Marketing Plan Oct 2008.pdf". Xwiki seems to take all the spaces out and munge the filename, especially if it is a long one, it puts in tildes (~). I want my users to be able to download the plan without having to rename it themselves. How do I do that? 3. How beta is the Confluence 1.0 rendering? I made a page like this: h1. header1 h2. header2 h3. header3 h4. header4 Only the h1 rendered correctly, everything else showed up as plan text. That has got to be the most basic page imaginable. Do I have something installed incorrectly?
