Hello, I am working on creating blog entries using xwiki. I was wondering if it would be possible to create a template for the blog entries so that they will be more structured? Thank you for your time and help! Hande Aksac

LANG property in startup script in standalone version

by Vincent Massol

Hi, Does anyone know why we have the following LANG property defined in our startup scripts: #!/bin/sh export LANG=fr_FR.ISO8859-1 JETTY_HOME=. JETTY_PORT=8080 JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx300m java $JAVA_OPTS -Dfile.encoding=iso-8859-1 -Djetty.port=$JETTY_PORT - Djetty.home=$JETTY_HOME -jar $JETTY_HOME/start.jar I think this is bad as it's french and I don't think we should set it for the user. That said, if it's there its probably because it was required in the past, hence my question here. To summarize: anyone sees any issue if I remove that "export LANG" line? Thanks -Vincent

Re: [xwiki-devs] ntlm with xwiki [END]

by Colin Tay

Hello, I have managed to authenticate users with the Active directory through LDAP. However, all the users i login were shown the error message "You are not allowed to view this document or perform this action." when i am at http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome. I pressume the users records are not in the Xwiki database. Where and how do i create these records when the user first logon onto xwiki?

Attaching an image from another document?

by Vincent Massol

Hi, I'd like to attach an image to the current document but the image is attached to another document. I couldn't find the answer in the FAQ. It would be great if the {image:} radeox macro allowed for this. Right now the only solution I'v found (which is a bit ugly) is to use an HTML <img> tag as in: <img src="/xwiki/bin/download/XWiki/Toolbar/image.gif" /> Any other solution I would have missed?

[xwiki-devs] [proposal] JS and CSS improvements

by Ludovic Dubost

Currently the albatross skin loads around 10 js and 10 css, which is quite a lot. We can improve loading time by: - compression and cache (raffaello will provide Apache configs specific to XWiki to help for that) - merging and optimizations of css/js (I've published http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Code/MergeCSS to help on that) - removing unused css/js (now we need to find which one are unused) - conditional loading of css and js. This last improvement can help us a lot since some of the css/js are not even used in view mode, or are only used by a specific panel. For this my proposal is to add a feature to the core to allow conditional loading of CSS and JS files. The current macros in the header would instead of putting CSS and JS add a placeholder for additional CSS and JS. Then everywhere where we need these CSS/JS (in a panel, in a wiki page, in a template) we would call a macro #includecss or #includejs This macro would add in the context the CSS and JS to add. At the end of the template rendering the placeholder would be replaced by the added CSS and JS. The page would be served. This would allow to manage the way CSS and JS are added. WDYT ?

[Proposal] Internationalizing XWiki Applications

by Vincent Massol

Hi, Here's my proposal for internationalizing XWiki apps. The idea is to propose several solutions for XWiki apps writers: * Use case 1: I have lots of text on my page - solution: use XWiki's mechanism for translating page by creating several editions of the page in the different languages * Use case 2: I want translation resources for my application only and I'd like to share resources between pages - solution: use: $msg("mykey", "MySpace.MyTranslationDocForThisApplication") - MySpace.MyTranslationDocForThisApplication is a standard document to which a XWiki.PropertiesClass object is attached - It'll search first in that doc's PropertiesClass and if not found in XWiki's registered document bundles and if not there in XWiki's static resource bundle files * Use case 3: I want translation resources only for a given page - solution: use: $msg("mykey", $doc) - You'll need to have attached a PropertieClass object to the page where $msg is used - It'll search first in that object and if not found in XWiki's registered document bundles and if not there in XWiki's static resource bundle files * Use case 4: I want to have a global translation resources for all my apps in the wiki - solution: use: $msg("mykey") - You'll need to have created ad registered resource bundle documents in the Wiki preferences - It'll search first in XWiki's registered document bundles and if not there in XWiki's static resource bundle files Implementation details: * Add XWikiMessageTool.get(String, String) API * Add XWiki.PropertiesClass class in XE in the Administration Application + a class sheet for presenting the properties nicely WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] simple questions

by Your XEN ICT Team - Ricardo Rodriguez

Hi all, Sorry, these are only two very simple questions I do need to clarify to try to go ahead to understand how to build XWiki from source. 1. Is the picture showing the list of repositories in the following link updated? http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/SourceRepository 2. By using Eclipse 3.3.1.1 on a MacBook running Mac OS X 10.5.1 Leopartd must I be able to create a new project by using the New Project wizard and checking out the proyect from SVN or this will simply download the source? I am a bit lost and I am not able to say if the available documentation is updated and suitable or it will need some changes. Thanks for your help, Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your XEN ICT Team

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Name the new skin on xwiki.org!

by Vincent Massol

Hi, As most of you should have seen by now we have a new skin on http://www.xwiki.org . The next step is to make that skin available as part of the XWiki distributions and thus commit it in our SVN. Thus we need to name it. Following our rule, we need to use bird name. See http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HUsingbi… for some suggestions. So, let the vote start! Here's my proposal: Sparrow Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] org.xwiki.appserver

by Stéphane Laurière

Hi everyone, I've committed this afternoon an Eclipse bundle "org.xwiki.appserver" in the xwiki-sandbox, which was written by Mikhail Kotelnikov and which is available under the Apache License. The component declares an extension point "org.xwiki.appserver.webapps" for registering webapps that are then loaded by the Eclipse component "org.eclipse.tomcat". Using this component, we can then easily run the XWiki webapp entirely from a set of Eclipse plugins + XWiki components. A step by step tutorial for doing this is available from there: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/XWikiAndEclipse_Setup We went through this tutorial this afternoon with Fabio and everything went fine. The bundle may be useful for deploying easily the XWiki offline module together with XWiki-Eclipse. We may consider replacing it by Dysoweb at some point, which looks more powerful, but I don't have experience with Dysoweb for now: http://dysoweb.requea.com/ Cheers Stéphane -- Stéphane Laurière slauriere(a)xwiki.com XWiki http://www.xwiki.com http://concerto.xwiki.com http://nepomuk.semanticdesktop.org

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Release XWiki Platform, Panels Application and XWiki Enterprise 1.2 RC2

by Sergiu Dumitriu

Hi, I'm proposing again the 1.2 RC2 release, after a long delay. Since the previous vote, a lot of bugs have been solved, mainly dealing with the database upgrade process and the new Rights Management UI. I think that the current code is stable enough to make it a release candidate, which will hopefully be the last one. Here's my +1. Sergiu
