[xwiki-users] Usability Question - Blog Edit
by Squirrel 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

Hi Maybe I just don't get it, but it seems to me that on the blog level the usability, meaning to edit the document, suddenly breakes with the usual way to do it (Inline from). Is it a feature or a bug? Cheers, Squirrel

Re: [xwiki-users] special rights

hello again. i have tried to solve this paragraph rights for the last couple of days. didn't work :))) i made a var similar to $isAdvancedUser called $isMyUser and tried to give it or not access to parts of a page. then i tried to create a macro that i can add in my page where i want to protect the text. i was probably doing something very much wrong . and so i am starting again. i have read your idea more times to be sure i get it:) i am curious where did u put the #includeTopic('Sandbox.FirstParagraph') or more importantly where have u explained what does that mean. i see this as a method. i still don;t know if xwiki knows about methods. lost :))) Take care , Gabriela Radu :) www.gabrielaradu.com ----- Original Message ---- From: [Ricardo Rodriguez] Your EPEC Network ICT Team <webmaster(a)environmentalchange.net> To: XWiki Users <users(a)xwiki.org> Sent: Tuesday, April 1, 2008 1:36:38 PM Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] special rights Hi Gabriela, Gabriela Radu wrote: > hello.. > i don't think i get what you said about the rights on space.. > i was talking about sections from the page that can have different rights(to edit or not) then the page. > this is what i am trying to make... and yep...i said trying. a bit lost. if you have some pointers they are more then welcomed :D > i have to write something like macros? in .vm files? > thank you Sorry if I have not been able to explain myself. In fact, the problem is that I am also a bit lost! Let's try to start again (it will help me with this issue! It is important for our group as well): We are speaking about being able to create a "page" where "sections" can have different assigned rights. Look at this: http://xepecnet..environmentalchange.net/xwiki/bin/view/Sandbox/NichitaStan… It seems a "page" including text, but it only includes five "calls" to other "pages". Look at the code: #includeTopic('Sandbox.Title') #includeTopic('Sandbox.FirstParagraph') #includeTopic('Sandbox.SecondParagraph') #includeTopic('Sandbox.ThirdParagraph') #includeTopic('Sandbox.FourthParagraph') In this case I am using a page (a single XWiki entry in a single space, in this case, Sandbox.NichitaStanescu) as a "document" metaphor and I can assign rights to any of the pieces as you do with any other page. I must not be difficult to add a button close to the starting point of each paragraph that only appears if the logged user has edit rights on each "section" and allow him/her to edit it. Please, let me know if this makes sense for you! It will be help me to decide if this makes sense for me! Then, we could go ahead completing this solution. XWiki is PLENTY of tools/features. The "only" point is to put it in the correct order :-) Cheers, Ricardo BTW: I think it is time to add XWiki to your CV ;-) -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your EPEC Network ICT Team _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users ____________________________________________________________________________________ You rock.

Re: [xwiki-users] A default filter for page lists
by goldring, richard 07 Apr '08

Ricardo, Perhaps, yes you could filter results for XWiki, Main, Panel and perhaps add central customisation in the admin pages to specify what to include/exclude for specific types of user - so admin users see everything, developers see developer pages, and other users see only pages/spaces relevant to them, etc. So spaces and page would need to have a tag to define the type of space/page and then when the spaces and pages are listed in an index, panel or search then spaces/pages can be filtered out which aren't relevant for a particular page. This could be an additional feature built into XWiki. In addition could provide filtered views on to an XWiki's contents, so a user could select a view of the XWiki contents based on a set of filter criteria, but its main use would be to hide irrelevant content to particular users e.g. admin/code type page from general users. What do other users think of having such a feature in XWiki?

I am working with XE, so it is possible that other configurations require to filter out other spaces as well. As XWiki is completely flexible and allow you to create customized filters, I am not sure about the need of adding it by default. You could easily make this separation by creating new spaces where users create their pages then filtering search results based on this spaces names. Just me 2c.

Yes I think that's a good idea - it just confuses users when they see 'structural' type wiki content - and it looks "messy" - only xwiki admin and developer users should be able to see xwiki 'structural' pages and elements when they do searches, view pages in a space or via an index. -----Original Message----- From: users-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:users-bounces@xwiki.org]On Behalf Of MSilverboard(a)cfglife.com Sent: 01 April 2008 20:45 To: users(a)xwiki.org Subject: [xwiki-users] A default filter for page lists On pages like the Index and Search Results, it would be helpful to end users if there were a way to filter out structural objects like classes and skins from the results list, and show only user-contributed pages. The XWiki.Results object already filters out things that users don't have permission to see. #if ($xwiki.hasAccessLevel("view", $context.user, $itemfullname)) ...list items... #end I think that what's needed here is some way to classify "content".

[xwiki-users] Informations about the user in the xwiki.cfg file?
by Philippe GABERT 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

Hi, I would like to modify the xwiki.cfg file to set the e-mail address of the user. After retrieving informations from LDAP, I would like to build the e-mail address and set it to the current user. (Indeed, it is not stored in our AD DB.) I tried to do that: xwiki.authentication.ldap.fields_mapping=name=sAMAccountName,last_name=sn,first_name=givenName,fullname=displayName,email=givenName '.' sn '@XXX.COM',ldap_dn=dn but it doesn't work. I also tried: xWiki.User.email = "xxxx" but it doesn't work. What could I do? Thanks in advance.

[xwiki-users] Disable mail activation and add automatically users to a group
by Philippe GABERT 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

Hi everyone, I retrieve the informations about people from an Active Directory server with my xWiki. The problem is that when someone new arrives and connect, this message will be shown: "Your account is not yet active, because your email has not yet been confirmed." so my question is quite simple, I would like either disable mail activation, either automatically activate an new created account. How can I do that? The next thing is about groups. Let's say that's the first time a guy connect to the website. I would like him to be automatically added to a group. How can I do that? Thanks !

[xwiki-users] Which Java and JBoss version is required (tested with) for 1.3.X XWiki?
by Frantisek Kall 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

Because of having problems with some XWiki functionality (tags, bulletin board app., ...) I checked environment of our Xwiki installation. We have: XWiki 1.3.1 Java 1.5.0_11 Jboss 4.2.2 (for this version Java 1.5 is required) I read that one of general goals for XWiki Enterprise 1.4 is switch to Java 1.5, so I’m not sure if we run our Xwiki 1.3 in proper environment. So, which Java and JBoss version is required (tested with) for 1.3.X XWiki?
