RE: [xwiki-users] how to connect wiki to an external database

Hi, Thks a lot, I will have to connect Xwiki to a Document Image processing DB. People provide documents which are stored in a DIP but I am looking for an easy-to-use presentation system so as to view docs, edit annotations etc.. So, I think a xwiki could be a good solution.

RE: [xwiki-users] access rights problem

Thanks a lot Brandon, I managed to log in as super admin after editing the xwiki.cfg file. _____ From: Esbach, Brandon [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2006 6:00 PM To: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org Subject: RE: [xwiki-users] access rights problem Depending on what page (looks like webhome/main); there is an easy solution. How the xwiki permissions work is by exclusion (hope that term is correct). IE, you've told it that XWiki.XWikiGuest is allowed to view the page - xwiki assumes you thus mean that all others are to be denied. This is not unusual, if you've ever worked with network apps it becomes easier to use (MUCH easier than specifically grant/deny). To fix this, all you need to do is remove the permission (click on "XWiki Access Rights" link to get back there); you do this by clicking the "remove this right entry" once you've selected the entry. You most likely need to be logged in as admin to do this. If admin is also causing a problem, you'll need to use the superadmin configuration (details on the xwiki.com if I recall correctly) A tip: When I setup permissions, I always use groups. That way it's easier to relate functions to groups. In your case, I assume your aim was to allow guests to view the page - and you had the right process in mind. Simply add XWiki.XWikiAllGroup to the Groups entry, or any other group you need to view the page, and add the guest user afterwards.

RE: [xwiki-users] Date value compare (the sequal)
by Joep Janssen 07 Jun '06

07 Jun '06

I'll explain. I've got a class with a date attribute. This class is represented through a form to the user, so he/she has to set this date. Now I want, on a separate page, to create an overview of all objects of that class which fall in a given period. But not from the current date to 1 month back. Rather from a set start date to a set end date. And yes I want to do this with a Velocity script. Hope that explains a bit more.

This allows me to go back in time from the current date/time a certain amount. But suppose I want all objects, of a class with a date attribute, where the date attribute has a value from a start date to an end date. For instance: all object where date between 01-05-2006 and 31-05-2006. Is this possible as well? I haven't succeeded yet.
