[xwiki-users] Xiwki improvement : w3cschools example
by xavier.mehaut＠free.fr 19 Sep '07

19 Sep '07

Hello, Up to now we only have pages ans spaces to structure information. I would like to suggest to have another level of structuration, as we can have for instance in MindMaps (MindManager) or in http://www.w3schools.com/ or even in formalisms like SADT(IDEF0). The idea is to have a tree of plans, each plan can have pages structured into spaces, but each plan is itself structured into a tree. In mind manager, each node can be refined in a sub-tree and we can navigate easily from one level to another one. In http://www.w3schools.com/, the information is well presented on the left side of the site as spaces containing pages. Somes pages are themselves subplan, and when we clik on the, we enter in the sub tree with the same kind of presentation... It is really clear, and efficiant... I've made 5 years ago a generator in Mindmanager to generate from the mind map automaticcaly an intranet following the ruels edicted for w3schools. It was actually very convenient . regards Xavier

[xwiki-users] Xwiki : user and group administration
by xavier.mehaut＠free.fr 19 Sep '07

19 Sep '07

Hello, I'm quite new with Xwiki, evenif I used tu use wikis since a long time, especially swiki (dyed), editme wiki, or mediawiki. I would like to make a little remark about users and groups administration (and maybe the whole administration) ; the ergonomy is not very good up to now, compared to other tools (for instance edit me wiki)... I've seen that you started to develop modules with GWT, and it isa good thing. Maybe a more friendly manner to administrate users and groups could be good. Best regards Xavier

[xwiki-users] Remove content from main tab
by Josh Joy 19 Sep '07

19 Sep '07

Hi, On my "main" side table, I would like to be able to modify exactly what gets placed in there. Currently, there is a mix of some static links such as "All Docs" "Dashboard" "delete space" as well as whenever I create a new page those links go there as well. Can the content for this side table be customizable by me (the admin) ? Also, I would like to remove the "Sandbox" side table as well. Thanks, Josh

[xwiki-users] question about building xwiki 1.1
by Chengmin Ding 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

Folks, I am trying to pull the source code for xwki 1.1 and build it. However, after eluding from this list for several month, I no longer knows how to build it. I built xwiki 1.0 before via ant and I have used maven 2 before, but I am not quite sure which module should I checkout and choose if I just want to get the xwiki application(not the tools or add on modules). I have browsed the documentations from xwiki.org's community site, but I am not quite sure where should I start. My questions are the following: 1. What are the minimum set of modules should I choose to download for just the xwiki web application? (not the panels, tools, plugins etc. just the core application which can build a .war like xwiki 1.0 or 0.984) The xwiki platform or xwiki product? 2. I used to be able to download a specific release vesion of the source code, but now I cannot find any version tagged by 1.1 but checking the history of xwiki-platform or xwiki-products 3. Is ant build still supported or maven 2 is required now? This topic might have been discussed before but I seem not able to find them. Any of your help is highly appreciated. Thanks -Chengmin

[xwiki-users] Oracle Xwiki schema
by FAUX, Emmanuel 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

Hi, I use Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0 - 64bi I have two databases on two different platforms. ( One for devs and one for production. ) On my dev database I have a schema/user named XWIKI/XWIKI On my prod database I have a schema/user named WIKI9/WIKI9 XWIKI 1.0 is installed on both platforms and it works very nicely. Planning to upgrade to version 1.1, I installed XWIKI 1.1 on the dev platform. It works well. I decided to install it on my prod platform, it failed. I think, xwiki 1.1 expects a schema named XWIKI. ( As detailed in the oracle install page. http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationOracle ). I'm going to ask our DBA to change the schema/user name but it worked well with xwiki 1.0 Best regards. -- Emmanuel FAUX Tél. : 01 70 18 24 01 - Mob. : 06 28 09 73 20 DSI Opérateur et Réseau, Eligibilité & Installation Clients Neuf Cegetel 40-42 Quai du Point du Jour, 92659 Boulogne-Billancourt

[xwiki-users] Want to set the logon time!
by Geert Verhaag 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

Hi XWiki users, I'd like to limit the logon time for users visiting our experimental XWiki site, and want TomCat to take care of that! >From the Web I understand that one should disable the cookies, and let TomCat take care of that by modifying the session-timeout tag in the conf/web.xml file. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work (I use version 1.0.3342)! When I disable the cookies, xwiki keeps asking the user to logon, whenever a link to a page is selected! Anybody any idea? Thanks!

[xwiki-users] [1.1] "With history" import option
by BOUSQUET Jeremie 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

Hello, I would like to know how the option "with history" in the import tool should be understood ? Does it mean : - history of existing pages will be preserved (new revision added for last revision of imported page) - history of imported pages will be preserved and replace local pages history - history of imported pages will be preserved as well as local pages history (concatenation) I added a line for this in the admin guide, but need to detail the exact way it works (btw I need to be sure of how it works before importing pages in my own wiki ;-) ) http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/ImportExport Thanks, Jeremie
