Hi, Ludovic, Thanks for the XWiki! I was helping setting up Princeton Girl Scout xwiki site, the site was up then disappeared. (a few times) However, it is staying now. I didn't do anything special, but it seems to work now. If you can find out why, that will be great.

RE: [xwiki-users] Dead on-topic (was: Slightly off-topic: Digital ID required by some mail)
by Tancredi, Perry 26 May '06

26 May '06

Being in the industry as such, I feel a certain obligation to respond. It appears that this is only a problem for the emails that Adrian Hall is sending (sorry Adrian). All of Adrian's emails are encrypted. Not to get too technical, but if the recipient doesn't have the private key corresponding to the certificate used to encrypt the mail, then he or she won't be able to open the email. This is what Outlook means when it complains about not being able to find your Digital ID. The encryption is triggered either by the user explicitly asking for the email to be encrypted, configuring his mail client to always encrypt email, or an email gateway encrypting the message, so this may or may not be under Adrian's control. If it is a gateway, then the gateway can likely be configured to not encrypt messages to this group. Adrian, if you want help figuring out what's going on, I would tell you that you can email me directly, but I'm unfortunately one of the one's not able to read your messages. If you can turn the encryption off to email me directly... well then you don't need my help.

I created a site on xwiki.com, 5 minutes later, it disappeared (The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.) I did it again, the same result, the wiki site showed up with my editing, then disappeared. Anyone seen this before? Thanks. Wei-hsing

Boolean operations output
by THOMAS, BRIAN M (SBCSI) 26 May '06

26 May '06

This problem seems to be spotty, but in (at least) several methods that return a Boolean value, it is output on the document even when I use it in an #if or #set directive. In several cases, I have been completely unable to suppress the appearance of "true" or "false" in my documents. Is this a bug or a feature? If feature, how can I suppress it? Brian M.

Slightly off-topic: Digital ID required by some mail
by Esbach, Brandon 26 May '06

26 May '06

Folks, a fair chunk of group emails the last few weeks have had digital id control. From looking over the last few weeks, these are the emails that are less likely to be responded to, as I suspect they are not readable except by a select few. I suspect the online archive is able to display these messages fine enough, but to be honest (I'm not sure if I'm alone here); unless I'm researching a problem before mailing the group, I don't really go looking there for new posts. Suggestion: If it's to a mailing group I would consider not using this method, to ensure whoever has a solution/suggestion can reply to you.

More extensive Wiki Plug-in example?
by Adrian Hall 26 May '06

26 May '06

Does anyone have a more extensive Wiki plug-in example? I'm needing to do an LDAP directory application, and I'm lazy, so I don't want to do the whole UI. So I figure I can create an LDAP search plug-in that does: $results = $xwiki.ldapsearch.search("ldap://ldap.example.com:389/o=Top??sub?(cn=${text} )") Foreach ($result in $results) $record = $xwiki.ldapsearch.get($result) {$record.get("cn")} End . or something like that - anyhow. The idea is to create a list of names, phone numbers, etc. that match the search criteria. Unfortunately, the example "hello world" plug-in does not show off a collection, so if anyone has any pointers, I'd like to hear them. Of course, if anyone has already done this, I'd definitely like to hear that too.

Query classes for common property = get value; Variable sort
by e Box 25 May '06

25 May '06

If you can, please help me with this XWiki query. The languages in XWiki are ALL new to me: Java, SQL, Velocity, Hibernate, etc. The complete page code is at the end, for reference. GENERAL APPLICATION GOAL To dynamically sort XWiki content through navigation by custom "categories" (slightly similar to XWiki's News/Blog/Articles classification model). THE PROBLEM Construct a query for a page where: - Class name must begin with "XYZ" (e.g., "XYZ.PROClass") - all ClassTemplates are excluded - there is a common class property called "category" (which does NOT exist for ALL "XYZ*" Classes) which is equivalent to the value of a temporary variable "category1" obtained from the current URL (i.e., getParameter from a URL Get posted by the previous page) - results are sortable by standard document properties (and eventually, also sort by custom Class properties, too) CURRENT QUERY ATTEMPT sql=(", BaseObject as obj where obj.name=doc.fullName and obj.className like 'XYZ%' and obj.name not like '%ClassTemplate' and obj.category like '${category1}' order by '${mrsorter}'"); TROUBLESHOOTING The present query, upon repeatedly splicing it, is apparently not working for either of these components: * obj.category like '${category1}' - returns page error: "java.lang.ClassCastException" * order by '${mrsorter}' - returns page error: "com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 3223 in 3: Exception while searching documents with sql ,BaseObject as obj where obj.name=doc.fullName and obj.className like 'XYZ%' order by 'doc.name' Wrapped Exception: could not execute query " ABOUT XYZ* CLASSES & CATEGORY PROPERTY Right now, in my XWiki there exists one "XYZ*" custom class (as a document template) which contains a property called "category" among other XYZ* classes which do not. The goal is to add more classes with names beginning with "XYZ*" that this query will need to explore in order to find matching "category" property results. I modeled the category property after the classification system in XWiki's Blog/ArticleClass, such that: Name: category Pretty Name: Category Unmodifiable: No Number: 2 Display Type: select Multiple Select: Yes Relational Storage: Yes Size: 5 Hibernate Query: select prop.value from BaseObject as obj, StringProperty as prop where obj.className='XYZ.Catsv02Class' and prop.id.id = obj.id and prop.id.name='name' FYI, XYZ.Catsv02Class exists as the class of all categories for content. When context= inline, I need a select list of these (similar to editing an XWiki Article) - but I can't get one to display on the page. But that's another story ... back to the query! COMPLETE PAGE CODE <% title1=request.getParameter("title"); category1=request.getParameter("category"); if (!title1) { title1 = "Unspecified" } if (!category1) { category1 = "Unspecified" } mrsorter=request.getParameter("orderby"); if(!mrsorter) { #set ($mrsorter = "doc.name") mrsorter = xwikidocument.getName(); } sql=(", BaseObject as obj where obj.name=doc.fullName and obj.className like 'XYZ%' and obj.name <> '%ClassTemplate' and obj.category like '${category1}' order by '${mrsorter}'"); %> [XYZ Home>XYZ.nav] : [${title1}>XYZ.subnav] : 1 ${category1} <br> Sort by: [Document No.>XYZ.catdoc?category=&orderby=doc.name] / [Date>XYZ.catdoc?category=&orderby=doc.date] / [Title>XYZ.catdoc?category=&orderby=doc.title] [+ Add New>apps.AddNew?category=${category1}] <% def formatdate(arg) { rd=arg.toString() a=rd.split(" "); return a[0] } println "1.1 Controlled Documentation"; println "<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=12>"; println "<tr> <td>*Title*</td> <td>*Document No.*</td> <td>*Version*</td> <td>*Released*</td> <td>*<nobr>Previous No.</nobr>*</td> </tr>"; for (item in xwiki.searchDocuments(sql)) { d=xwiki.getDocument(item) rd=xwiki.formatDate(d.date,"MM/dd/yyyy") println "<tr><td>[${d.title}>${d.fullName}]</td><td><nobr>${d.name}</nobr></td><td>${d.version}</td><td>${rd}</td><td>${d.orig_doc_no}</td> </tr>"; } println "</table>"; %> END PAGE CODE I would greatly appreciate any assistance you are able to provide.

Session not maintained on Internet Explorer
by chandra.verma＠headstrong.com 25 May '06

25 May '06

Hi, I am trying to install XWiki on my company�s intranet for online project management. I am having trouble using Internet Explorer with XWiki. When I login as a user, I can see my name on the top right hand corner and I can also see the all the admin options on the top action bar (I have admin privileges), which means that I have Logged in successfully. But as soon as I click on a link, the page refreshes and I find that I am logged out. All the admin options are gone. This happens for all the links On further investigation I found that this problem occurs only when I use a url of following type- http://machineName:8080/xwiki If I use following url, it works fine http://localhost:8080/xwiki I found that a cookie gets created in �C:\Documents and Settings\userName\Cookies� when I use localhost, but there is no cookie for the machineName. So when the application finds that there is no cookie, it thinks that user is not logged in, and shows default pages. The interesting thing is that it works fine with Firefox/Mozilla. Since most of our users use Internet Explorer, I am trying hard to get it working but till now I have no clue how to fix this problem. I have enabled all the cookies, kept the intranet security at lowest level and bypassed the proxy, still it�s not working. I have also selected �NO� for the preferences �Always authenticate on viewing� and �Always authenticate on editing�. I tried searching on the internet but it seems no one else has faced this problem earlier. Please suggest a solution. My environment is � XWiki 0.9.840 Windows XP SP2 Tomcat 4.1.31 MySQL 4.1.19 JDK 1.5 Looking forward for your help. Thanks, Chandra
