issue: new blog post created in wrong space
by xwiki xwiki 13 Jun '07

13 Jun '07

Hi, When I use the new page panel in XWiki 1.0 final to create a blog post, I found that the new blog post has been created in the Blog space not Current space (noted at bottom of the panel). I did some look in the calling, and I found that equalvalent is adding, e.g., following line after a page link: ?xpage=create&tocreate=post&title=testblogcreation also I did a test on the xwiki.org page: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome?xpage=create&tocreate=post… which should result in create a new page at Main space but I got directed here: http://www.xwiki.http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/inline/Blog/testblogcreatio… see, it's not Main. test for "tocreate=page" result in right place. thus I doubt that the code for "tocreate=post" has some where miss the space parameter. as we need use the "new page" panel tool for creating blog posts in the calling space, anywhere I can get into solving this? Thanks in advance! Muzi

Register Rights
by Jonas Dias 13 Jun '07

13 Jun '07

Hi friends, I'm planning to use XWiki on a lab as a Documentation Tool. The Access to the Wiki would be restricted... so, people could only be added by an Administrator. By default, anyone who clicks on Register link on XWiki main page can Register itself. I tryed to change the Acess Rights of the Register Page (I`ve added XWikiAdminGroup with full acess to Register Page and XWikiGuess Denyed), but nothing changed... anyone can still register anyperson. I've already tried many things on AcessRights but I'm not able to see what's the problem. The rights on Register Page seems to never change. I really need to restrict the rights on Register Pages. May anyone, please, help me? cheers Jonas. -- JONAS FURTADO DIAS >> jonasdias(a)gmail.com

More about the JDK 1.5 upgrade and Google Docs Integration
by Radu Danciu 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

Hello again, and here's my progress report: I need the Google gdata api integrated into xwiki to help me with my task of developing Google Docs capabilities for XWiki. The gdata api can be downloaded from: http://code.google.com/p/gdata-java-client/ (other programming languages available, but I believe we need java, right? :) ) Upon build, said api exports about a dozen jars into it's lib folder, of which (I believe) I only need 3: gdata-base, gdata-spreadsheets and gdata-client (might need others too, not sure, since I can't attempt to build right now - the gdata api requires JDK 1.5 to build). Those jars need be added to the xwiki lib folder and updating of build.xml and pom.xml as necessary. >From my observation, Google updates this api frequently (2 weeks?) so it would be really nice if we could actually include the gdata download and build process into svn / building xwiki (not sure if it can <or should> be done, since I am not up to speed with how the whole svn building is done). If there are any other details required, do ask, and I'll do my best to answer ASAP. Have a nice day, Radu

Cheers guys! I need help with something: I need to add a couple of fields to the registration form (google user and password for Google Docs), but I can't find the darn sources responsible for generating that page or any user management tools (tried spotlight-ing them, searching with eclipse, and still nothing), please hint me at them. Thanks for your time, Radu Danciu

Java and xhtml
by evelyne24＠gmail.com 12 Jun '07

Hello, How can I get in java the value of an input build with apache.ecs.xhtml? I searched an hour or so on google and haven't found anything related to that. E.g: input hidden_input = new input(); input.setID(prefix + name); ... and at a certain moment its value changes (with javascript). Then I need its value in java. Maybe there is a way to get it using xwiki api somehow... I would be very thankful for an answer. Thank you very much. Evelina

Use of privileged methods in the default wiki
by Jerome Velociter 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

Hi all, While implementing XWIKI-1264 <http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1264>(Transform the AllDocs page into an index with A-Z links to show docs by letter) I faced the following problem : I wanted to show letter links only for relevant letters (for the user not being faced with empty result for letters that has no document related). But how to search for distinct letters from the wiki ? 1- we use $xwiki.search("select distinct substring(doc.name, 1, 1) from XWikiDocument as doc where 1=1") but then, the document depends on a privileged API, if someone without programming right edit and saves it, it breaks. 2- we implement a method like "getDocumentsIndex()" in the XWiki API but as Vincent says, it's not really generic, it applies only on this case. 3- we call a groovy script that holds privileged API calls (possibly the whole wiki privileged calls) but, it's not really clean either, and it's too bad we have to maintain two docs for a small script like the AllDocs one. As for now we found none of this option good enough, there will be all letters proposed... with the possibility the users faces an empty result page. What do you think? Are there any other option ? I think this problem leads to the more generic problem of how to handle privileged calls in the default wiki. Jerome.

Regarding issue XWIKI-523 (Tags should be shown with comments and attachments)
by Thomas Drevon 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

Hey! Regarding the dialog going on over at http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-523 ..thought I'd move it here. Touché regarding the point that I should do this myself. It might not be a hard thing to do, theoretically, if you're into both the java code and the db model of xwiki. However, without the benefit of this knowledge, I'm of the impression that fixing this would take me a lot of time. And I am of course in no position to expect that you guys, who are busy developing xwiki for the good of all mankind, would do this for me. But maybe I can suggest a trade of some sort? I produce something within my abilities, and vice versa? My plan is to get deeper into the development matters of xwiki by writing snippets and plugins, and thereby growing steadily more familiar with the architecture and the api. Right now I'm working on jabber (maybe using the JWChat client) inside xwiki, enabling real-time communication between the currently logged in users. Would this be of interest to you? I will of course contribute this plugin no matter what you decide to do about the mentioned issue, but at least now I've stated my humble wish :-) best regards Thomas Drevon

How to backup standalone instalation
by alainm＠pobox.com 10 Jun '07

10 Jun '07

I have searced the xwiki site, list history, the web, subscribed to xwiki-users, before asking this: I am running xwiki standalone, the file is wiki-1.1-milestone-1.tar.gz and it says "Standalone installation including a Jetty container and an HSQLDB database all set up. Should be used by first-time users" Please tell me where are the files (or directories) that I need to save to have a full backup. Both database and configs but not the libs. It is running in /home/alain/dev/java/xwiki. I compared the original .tar.gz with my modified xwiki, appart from logs, only these files are different: db/xwiki_db.script db/xwiki_db.properties (only the date changed) temp/imageCache/ (empty directory, belongs to root) db/xwiki_db.script looks like an sql-dump, and my modifications are included. Could it be that a database dump is created every time I modify something? Anyway the database apears *not* to be inside the xwiki directory... PLEASE HELP, I want to make a full backup, but without all the libs and fixed stuff (the whole directory is 55Mb! ). Thansk for any help, Alain
