URLs

How can I turn off the "shortcut" URLs where /bin/Space/Page is interpreted as /bin/view/Space/Page? (Specifically, I'm using mod_redirect to clean up the URL architecture and need to assume that anything prefixed /bin that isn't /bin/view needs to be passed through as an action.) - - - Hans Gerwitz http://phobia.com/

Re: [xwiki-users] Spellcheck

(Moving this to xwiki-dev) True, but a plugin architecture for simple, linear editing "workflow" beyond the present edit->preview->save might make sense. It'd be nice to have edit-time plugins that not only correct spelling, but suggest internal links, verify external links, request entry of tags, auto-create objects based on content, etc. While working on SnipSnap, I often find myself wanting to plug into the edit lifecycle. Perhaps refactoring the render lifecycle to use WikiModel presents an opportunity here? - - - Hans Gerwitz http://phobia.com/ On Dec 20, 2005, at 11:04 AM, Ludovic Dubost wrote: > > Hi, > > A spell check plugin does not make much sense anymore.. > The Googlebar is compatible with both IE and Firefox and includes a > spellcheck toll for forms > > Ludovic > > Marc Lijour a écrit : >> Hi >> >> Is there a spellcheck plugin available? >> >> Regards, >> >> Marc >> >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> --- >> >> >> -- >> You receive this message as a subscriber of the xwiki- >> users(a)objectweb.org mailing list. >> To unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected] >> For general help: mailto:[email protected]?subject=help >> ObjectWeb mailing lists service home page: http:// >> www.objectweb.org/wws >> > > > -- > Ludovic Dubost > XPertNet: http://www.xpertnet.fr/ > Blog: http://www.ludovic.org/blog/ > XWiki: http://www.xwiki.com > Skype: ldubost AIM: nvludo Yahoo: ludovic > > > > -- > You receive this message as a subscriber of the xwiki- > users(a)objectweb.org mailing list. > To unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected] > For general help: mailto:[email protected]?subject=help > ObjectWeb mailing lists service home page: http://www.objectweb.org/ > wws

New Skins work
by Ludovic Dubost 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Hi All, I'm working right now on new skins both for XWiki.com wikis and the open source XWiki. In the process, the structure of the main templates has been simplified to handle 2 columns by default. We plan to reintroduce the third column later. We also plan to add an easy system to choose colors for your skin using "color schemes" in the XWiki preferences. I'd like to start a discussion about which is the best skin for the default wikis on xwiki.com and in the open source wiki, as well as which one is the best skin for the xwiki.org web site. XWiki.com will have a different skin which is going to be "business oriented", which we could also use for XWiki.org. You'll find links to the skins on http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/Skins The three new skins are Sinorca, Blue, Wikipedia http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Dev/Skins/SinorcaSkin.gif http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Dev/Skins/BlueSkin.gif http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Dev/Skins/WikipediaSkin.gif The other 2 skins are a little older: Business: http://pause-java.com/xwiki/previews/business/800_600.jpg ModernBlue: http://pause-java.com/xwiki/previews/modern-skin/800.jpg We are also interested in feedback about the business skin: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Dev/Skins/XWikiComBusinessSkin.gif Let us know what you think. The number one objective is deciding for a default skin for Wikis and the skin for XWiki.org.

Improvement: LDAP authentification with virtual wikis
by Xavier MOGHRABI 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

Hi XWiki developers, I'm using LDAP to authentificate users for several virtual wikis. I'm using a single LDAP a base for all the wikis. The problem I had is that when a user logged on a wiki he was only added on the wiki he logged even if my authentification is unique. So that's difficult to manage the access rights if I have to look for the user page. So, when we use virtual wikis and LDAP authentification, I propose that users should be added in the wiki where the LDAP has been configured: - 1st case if the authentification has been configured in the preferences of the Main Wiki or in the xwiki.cfg file, the users should be added in the Main Wiki. -2nd case if the authentification has been configured in the preferences of a Virtual Wiki, the users should be added in the Virtual Wiki on which the user is logging. By the way, to prevent access right problem, after having creating the user XWiki should flush the cache. Here is attached a patch that I've tested on my wikis with the 1st case only that should do this. Regards. -- Xavier MOGHRABI - Consortium ObjectWeb Email : xavier.moghrabi at objectweb.org Phone : +33 4 76 61 52 35

TinyMCE Wysiwyg Problems
by Sascha Österle 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

Hello, I intesively tested the tinyMCE wysiwyg editor from the standalone package. (XWIKI 0.9.1000 - I know its a developer version) and discovered some problems. I would be gratefull for some hints/workarounds. If there are none I hope that my report is helpfull for the X-Team. 1) It does not always save when using Internet Explorer, but it is not clearly reproducable for me. Has anyone got a idea how to solve this (workaround or sth.) 2) It keeps Changing Links when saving [NoSpace] => [NoSpace] => [NoSpace] [With Space] => [With Space] => [With Space>With%20Space] [WithGermanCharÄ] => [WithGermanCharÄ] => [WithGermanCharÄ] Legend: "=> means 'becomes when saving'" From now on, IE and Firefox both show very strange links in the status bar. I believe the URLs are escaped once more before displaying. This leads to: http://../With%2520Space.... for a link that should in my opinion be http://../With+Space or perhaps http://../With%20Space This leads to several Problems: a) IE not usable b) You have to save the document twice to get your final Links. c) "http://../With%2520Space" Links are always marked as non existent. When I try to edit them, the content apears in the editor. After saving they are still shown as non existent. Wiki Syntax edited Links handled special chars and spaces well. Does TinyMCE have to escape those? How can I stop it from doing this? Thanks! Sascha ps.: Besides the links thing the editor ist just great! It works perfectly even vor longer texts. Thanks a lot for such a neat tool.

XWiki Release?
by Paul Dlug 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Is there any time estimate on a new release of XWiki? It seems to have been a very long time since the previous one. Are there also any plans to include functionality to allow one wiki page to be included inside another? (to do some rudimentary templating) Thanks, Paul

impressive set of features...
by Brill Pappin 12 Dec '05

12 Dec '05

Hello, Just discovered XWiki... very impressive set of features, but the installation leaves something to be desired, even for someone experianced with installing webapps of this nature. Couple of questions: - Do you (the developers) need someone to help with configuration management and packaging? - Have you thought of using Maven for your build environment? - When is the lic expected to change to LGPL? - Brill Pappin

Shibbing XWiki
by Alistair Young 04 Dec '05

04 Dec '05

Hi there, I've been looking at "shibbing" XWiki - i.e. turning it into a Shibboleth compatible Service Provider. I've done that bit, using the Guanxi system: http://guanxi.uhi.ac.uk/xwiki The goal of "shibbing" xwiki is to allow users from certain named institutions to automatically login to xwiki and have an account created on the fly, based on their attributes. What this involves is two steps: 1) Protect an XWiki Shibboleth Login page with Guanxi - I've done that 2) Based on the SAML Assertion from their Identity Provider, authenticate them - I've done that too (almost!) 3) Create them an account on the fly once authentication succeeds. The information required to create an account (username etc.) would come from their Identity Provider in SAML Attribute Assertions. I've still to do this. What I'm wondering is there a way to create users on the fly without having an XWikiContext? What I'd like to do is create a new class that can create XWiki users directly. The goal of Guanxi + XWiki is an XWiki at, say UHI Millennium Institute that will allow users at the University of Leeds or Oxford who are software developers to login automatically, using their Leeds or Oxford username, with their accounts being created on the fly, so they don't need to register. I've done about 80% of the work, I just need a cleaner way of creating users without having to use the XWikiContext and request parameter maps etc. Hope you can help, thanks, Alistair
