I added XWikiAllGroup with level delete, edit and view in the global rights manager but there is still no delete button in the topbar for any user of XWikiAllGroup. there are also no conflicting right-entrys in the space rights manager... is there anything i forgot to attend?

Reduced window area for editing
by shivshan 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

Hi Am using the latest beta version with panels on the right. When i edit a page however, a big portion of the right hand side screen is taken up by the panel, with Xwiki document information and the parent and tag information. This is a problem, especially when typing long paragraphs or with wide images, since i have to constantly scroll to see what i have typed. Is this by design? I have attached the screenshot. Thanks and looking forward to the 1.0 release, Shiva http://www.nabble.com/file/7900/MWSnap017.jpg -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Reduced-window-area-for-editing-tf3587944.html#a10026… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

xwiki as help system and external mappings
by RonaldH 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

Greetings all, I would like to use the xwiki system as a help system. The idea is that I have a system where on each page (defined by an unique url, like listContacts.html) there is a help icon. When clicking on the icon the user, will be directed to the xwiki system with the parameter the url that the user was on. This parameter should then be looked up in the xwiki system to see if there is a page for this and shown to the user if exists or asked if he/she wants to make a page. How should I achieve this? I am an experienced java programming so some hacking is no problem, however at the moment I dont have a clue how to handle this using xwiki. Any tips or pointers are appreciated.

Document Templates
by shivshan 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

Hi I am a relative newcomer to Xwiki, and still getting used to Classes, Objects etc. However, i have an urgent need for a knowledge base that is running on Xwiki. In each space, i want any new page created to have the same structure. For ex: 1 XYZ Application Introduction in to XYZ in a few sentences 1.1 How to use XYZ 1.1.1 Login 1.1.1 Edit 1.1.1 Save 1.1 Troubleshooting 1.1.1 Login Not working 1.1.1 Save not working 1.1 References Once a new page in this space is created, this code will be available by default. The user then modifies content retaining the structure. This should be possible but i am not able to figure out how. These pages don't have any forms so am not sure whether i should use the includeform macro. Any pointers to existing documentation would be very helpful. Thanks Shiva -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Document-Templates-tf3585218.html#a10018588 Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

LDAP Authorization
by igor_ti＠yahoo.com.br 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

Hi people, I am using XWiki with LDAP authentication, and its fine, but I can't figure out how to make the authorization process. Inside xwik.cfg I have a key (xwiki.authentication.ldap.fields_mapping) where I make the ldap mapping for xwiki, so I map xwiki "name" for my ldap return key and so one, what I need to know is what's the xwiki key that I have to map my ldap role field? Or I need to use something else to configure Roles? If someone has the link for the doc that explains it, please send me. Please if anyone don't understand my question, tell me, I will try to express myself better :-) Regards, Igor Regis

Composite documents, section edit.
by roopesh＠digitalglue.in 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

Hi I am new to xwiki. I am facing a problem with composite documents. I have created 3 classes and its classsheets with a textarea in each class (classes A, B, C) and I included all the three objects in another class D's template and included the forms . Now if I edit any documents of D class then I am able to change the whole document (the part of A, B, C). But I want to do enable section edit the part of A, B, C separately. (One doubt : Is this the correct way of creating composite document?) How can I do this? (Here I am creating documents of type D and thus I am able to edit a document class D. To edit the section of classsheet B there should be a document present in B, I guess. In my case the document will only be in class D.) Can anyone please guide me the exact way to do this. Thanks, Roopesh

Excluding pages from WebRss
by Paul Armstrong 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

So I opened http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1018 with a patch that allowed for excluding pages from the RSS feed in a manner similar to Panels.Navigation (i.e. edit the WebRssCode page to remove pages and spaces). Vincent came back with: """ Thanks Paul. I looked at the patch and I have one issue with it: what about users who want to see those pages/spaces? For example, I rely on my RSS feed to verify xwiki.org every day and I want to see if someone tags/modifies one of those pages. Also I think most if not all admins will want to see them. I'd rather we have a more generic solution. Some ideas: * A RSS wizard that lets users pick what they want to see * Possibly also some special tag (like "norss") that removes pages * tagged with it from the RSS feed At the very least I think we should modify the patch to let admins have a RSS feed of all files. """ Now the wizard idea is pretty much covered by http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Code/PersonalRSSFeedApplication and I think the norss tag idea has some merit but a way still needs to be made to block out entire spaces (for example XWiki). I tried adding "$hasadmin" to the code as that seems like the simplest way to solve the site admins wanting to see all edits but that just broke the feed (anyone who's more awake able to debug it?). Another option would be to provide a third feed (but this is starting to seem excessive to me): * Blogs * Pages without the admin pages * All pages What do others think? Paul

Install Error (1.0 beta 6 / Postgres on Tomcat 6.0.10)
by martingales 16 Apr '07

I used the 1.0-beta-6 WAR and changed the hibernate config file ---- I don't believe a lack of a db connection would cause this error?? The Error: The requested resource (/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome) is not available. May I suggest that the postgres connection should look like this (at least on windows with port 5432 DEFAULT) <property name="connection.url">jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/wikidb</property> -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Install-Error-%281.0-beta-6---Postgres-on-Tomcat-6.0.… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Can xwiki run on Window2003server with IIS 6.0?
by Brian Carpenter 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

With intermediate tech skills, I have loaded mediawiki on w2k3 with IIS(WIMP). Also exteneded Mediawiki to use Oblix Single sign-on authentication. One year later, very few in out fortune 500 intranet use it due wiki markup (not wysiwyg editting) and inability to enforce group privacy. Create artcles that can only be viewed by few, then later viewed anonymously. Can I accomplish task with similar skill level on same w2k3/IIS box? <this email duplicates first attempt through nabble that never made it to the maillist archive>
