Hi All, When we register with XWiki, if there is a invalid input in any field, entire form is reset. For example, 1) if we have typed in the Login Id field with special character 2) if password in Password (repeat) field does not match the one in Password field ANUJ SHARMA. --------------------------------- Get the freedom to save as many mails as you wish.

[xwiki-devs] New SVN repo: problems in committing
by Vincent Massol 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

Hi everyone, Just a note to say that I currently have problems comitting. The commit seems to work but then the svn rev is increased but nothing is committed. It works fine for Raffaello and it used to work for me too in revs up to 5203 included but since 5204 I can't commit anything. So it's possible you'll get some issues too. Raffaello and I are looking into this and trying to understand what happens but we're a bit puzzled right now... Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Ref: Displaying lists of wiki pages given a set of criteria
by goldring, richard 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

Hi all, Does anyone know how to generate a list of links to wiki pages that meet a set of defined features i.e. filter and sort (features defined on the objects or tags on those pages)? Perhaps like the Google search, list the first 20 or 30 pages and have a next/previous, 1, 2, 3, etc buttons to list the next selections of page links (to cope with the display of large numbers of page links). If anyones got any code snipits to get me started then that would be really useful - thanks. The idea is perhaps to explore how to use XWiki to semi automatically generate pages to record tasks or issues, and then to list those pages (tasks/issues) according to say the status or owners of those tasks/issues. For tasks I'm thinking XWiki might be used to help guide users through business processes and semi-automatically document they have followed those processes (for CMMI) so they can be simply audited. Documents generated through users following the tasks/processes can then be generated from templates and stored within the wiki. If anyone else has any ideas/code that could help perhaps realise this then let me know!

[xwiki-devs] [Important] SVN migration
by Vincent Massol 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

As planned and advertised last week, today is SVN migration day. At 12:00 AM GMT+1 I'll remove SVN access to everyone on the ObjectWeb SVN so that nobody can commit. One the migration is over, I'll add again SVN accesses to the new repo. The new repo uses a different authentication mechanism. Everyone with SVN commit access need to have an account on xwiki.org and I'll have to add him/her to a special group on xwiki.org. One this is done you'll be able to commit with your credentials from xwiki.org. Please send me your user id on xwiki.org so that I can add you. As usual if you have any issue with this please let me know quickly. Thanks -Vincent

Re: [xwiki-devs] Display the edit button even when not logged in?
by goldring, richard 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

Hi, Yes it would certainly encourage my users to edit - at the moment its not obvious that a page can be edited, so they don't even try and just think its a normal uneditable website. On another wiki the right hand menu bar only appears when you move your pointer to the right hand side of the screen, so you effectively have more room for viewing the wiki content and only have a menu bar when you need it - thought that might be a cool feature for xwiki but how to do it I'm not sure. Regards, Richard -----Original Message----- From: devs-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Vincent Massol Sent: 01 October 2007 21:21 To: XWiki Developers Subject: [xwiki-devs] Display the edit button even when not logged in? Hi, I was looking at a wiki tonight and I noticed there was an edit button even though I wasn't logged in. So I clicked on it, and then I was told that if I wanted to edit the page I had to register/log in. I found that this was very nice since: * Users are tempted to click on the edit button and contribute * It clearly shows to users who don't know wikis that they can contribute content I think we should have this feature in XWiki. I would even go as far as proposing that it be on by default. WDYT?

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Jerome Velociter as a committer
by Vincent Massol 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

Hi everyone, I'd like to propose voting Jerome Velociter as a XWiki committer. Jerome has been sending patches (see http://tinyurl.com/3cbz2j) for a long time now and his patches are good. I like the fact that in his latest patches he takes care of submitting nice code with nice javadocs ;) I propose we let him commit his own patches! Here's my +1. Note: For full disclosure, Jerome is working for XPertNet, the company behind the creation of XWiki. FWIW, out of the 24 committers (http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/HallOfFame) 7 are working for XPertNet (including myself). Note that we're running XWiki as a meritocratic project (trying to follow the Apache rules as much as possible) and thus anyone can become a committer (see http:// www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Committership) The more the merrier! Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Can't check-out sources from behind a proxy
by Asiri Rathnayake 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

Hi All, I tried to check-out the xwiki sources from within the university network (behind a proxy) but it didn't work (I have set all svn parameters required). I wonder if this is something with objectweb's svn server configuration since i can check-out sources from some other repositories (like subversion source for an example). For the moment I have all the sources I want but i thought it would be better to mention this right now. Thanks. - Asiri ps: I changed my boarding and no ADSL for another couple of weeks, that's why I'm trying to use university network.
