[xwiki-devs] New XEM releases dates
by Thomas Mortagne 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Hi all, As XEM is based on XE 1.2 branch it needs to wait for a final XE 1.2 version to be released to release a 1.0 final version. But a lots of bugs has been fixed on XE 1.2 and final version takes more time than initially planned. So waiting for a final version of XE here a proposition of new dates for XEM (also Application Manager and Wiki Manager) : - 1.0M3 : 7th of January - 1.0RC1 : just after XE 1.2 final release (planned for 11th of January) : 14th of January - 1.0RC2 or promotion of RC1 as final : 17th of January -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-devs] Guide in LDAP Authuentication
by Colin Tay 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Hi all, I understand that once the user had successfully log into XWiki. A new user record will be inserted into the XWIKIDOCS table and any future login of that particular user will attempt to lookup the database and retrieve the dn from the user record. Then bind the connection. Prior this process of re-login, any changes make to the user's record in the active directory will not be reflected in the database. It should not be the case, instead the system should update the user record in the database each time the user login and updates any information pertaining to the user. (eg. MemberOf, last name, first name) How should i go about in doing this?

[xwiki-devs] Guide for XWiki Rights Management (XWiki Rev. 6435)
by Colin Tay 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Hi All, I am currently revising on the rights management on XWiki. Instead of using XWiki rights management module, is it possible to use your own rights management module? Any guidance would be appreciated. Regards, Colin __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Singapore Answers Real people. Real questions. Real answers.

Hi Vincent, I guess you misunderstood what i meant. I am not changing the authentication portion but on the rights management (ie, view, edit, delete...) In short, i am attempting to remove the rights mangement implemented in XWiki and override it with another one.

[xwiki-devs] help for building
by Paul Libbrecht 01 Jan '08

01 Jan '08

Hello XWikiers, I am bit in doubt with building XWiki and particularly Curriki which is my goal. On the one hand there seems to be DB-oriented sub-folders for which mvn install seems to only install... a pom in the repo! On the other hand, the default build seems to build only for a special DB, hypersonic... This indeed what I got doing the following a few days ago: - svn co of trunks - cd-ed to xwiki-product-curriki - mvn install, failed - cd-ed to xwiki-platform-web, mvn install success - cd-ed to xwiki-platform-pom, mvn install success - cd-ed to xwiki-product-curriki, mvn install success What is the normal way to get the "normal build" (mvn install in xwiki-product-curriki) to build for a specific DB? Thus far I am still hoping to build curriki for Postgres if possible. In any case it should work for MySQL since that's where curriki.org runs. thanks in advance paul
