[xwiki-users] Admin password
by Tommy Irizarry 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

I just installed the latest version of xwiki for testing purposes . We are in the process of evaluating wiki engines. I was able to add my self as a user, but can't modify anything else because I need the admins account. So, what is the default admin username and password? I've searched all over the documentation and didn't find it. Tommy

[xwiki-users] Create external hyperlinks?
by Hande Aksac 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

Hello, As my project requirement, I am using a textbox area property for users to enter a URL address when they are posting information for a blog entry. I want this URL address to be clickable after it is posted. For instance, when they enter www.google.com in this text area and click on the URL afterwards, the link should take them to www.google.com. Is there a way to do that in xwiki? Thank you for your time and help in advance! Hande

Hi, Having file:// would be useful to link to files on network drives which my users tend to want to do. How do you raise this as a jira issue? Richard -----Original Message----- From: users-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Sergiu Dumitriu Sent: 04 October 2007 14:33 To: XWiki Users Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Create external hyperlinks? Hi, For the moment, if the URL also includes the http:// or ftp:// of https:// part, then it will automatically be transformed to a link. We don't do this transformation for URLs starting with www (without the http:// part), but you can make a jira issue to ask for this, and if we vote that it won't be a dangerous change, it could be implemented in 15 minutes.

[xwiki-users] XML-RPC returns no data
by Fabian Gorsler 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

Hi all, I'm just setting up a simple Java class in order to export our old XWiki (0.9.840) into our new XWiki (1.1.4935) via XML-RPC. The export is working quite nice, I can retrieve all documents and all needed URLs of attachments in order to download them using a small shell script for a later import. The problem is that I always receive timeouts when connecting to our new XWiki. There is no data returned (twice checked with tcpdump). I can't figure out where the problem is. Did I miss a needed parameter for working XML-RPCs in XWiki 1.1? On both Xwikis I use this XML-RPC URL: /xwiki/bin/xmlrpc/confluence. If I point my browser to this request, I receive an error message about improper use of XML-RPC so there seems to be a listener working. The environment of the XWiki server is: Linux 2.6, Tomcat 5.5.17, Java 1.5.0_08 The environment of my client is: Windows XP, Java 1.6.0_02 with Apache XML-RPC client 3.0 What could I do in order to find the problem? catalina.out is empty... -- Thanks in advance and best regards, Fabian.

[xwiki-users] Could not initialize main XWiki context
by Sheila Hobeck 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

I had to install Tomcat with MySQL so that I can set the wiki up as a windows service. I tried to set it up with just Jetty - with no luck. I have been struggling with this for hours now. I read old emails regarding hibernate.cg.xml setup - and I have tried many possible combinations: <property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/xwiki?useServerPrepStmts=false</property> <property name="connection.username">xwiki</property> <property name="connection.password">xwiki</property> <property name="connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property> <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property> <property name="connection.provider_class">com.xpn.xwiki.store.DBCPConnectionProvider</property> <property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost/xwiki?useServerPrepStmts=false</property> <property name="connection.username">xwiki</property> <property name="connection.password">xwiki</property> <property name="connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property> <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property> <property name="connection.provider_class">com.xpn.xwiki.store.DBCPConnectionProvider</property> All of which give me the same error..... javax.servlet.ServletException: com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 3 in 0: Could not initialize main XWiki context Wrapped Exception: Error number 3202 in 3: Exception while reading document XWiki.XWikiPreferences Wrapped Exception: Unknown entity: com.xpn.xwiki.doc.XWikiDocument org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processException(RequestProcessor.java:535) org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processActionPerform(RequestProcessor.java:433) org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process(RequestProcessor.java:236) org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1196) org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doGet(ActionServlet.java:414) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:690) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) com.xpn.xwiki.web.SetCharacterEncodingFilter.doFilter(SetCharacterEncodingFilter.java:117) Please help. If I don't get this installed as a windows service (which IMHO should not be difficult), I will have to resort to another wiki. Sheila

[xwiki-users] renaming xwiki folder
by Your XEN ICT Team - Ricardo Rodriguez 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

Hi, I am trying to update a XWiki installation to the last 1.1.1.5166 release available for download. Doing some tests I've stoped Tomcat, rename xwiki folder to xwiki.old and created a new xwiki holding the new release. xwiki.cfg and hibernate.cfg.xml where accordingly modify. After starting again Tomcat, the new release was up and running but I am facing some problems with LDAP authentication. I've tried to come back to the old release by renaming back xwiki.old to xwiki. But the only message I get is error: type Status report message /xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome description The requested resource (/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome) is not available. Please, could you tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks! -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your XEN ICT Team

[xwiki-users] NIS authentication
by "Víctor A. Rodríguez" 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

Hi all, it's me again :-) According to http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Authentication seems that not NIS authentication is available. Does anyone have had a success with this ?? I mean, currently we're using NIS with a custom authentication plugin and a modified struts jar (http://mail-archive.objectweb.org/xwiki-dev/2005-08/msg00025.html) but I would like to know if this modification was added or there exists a new one.

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

03 Oct '07

Anyone? 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-users] [1.1] Linking lists
by BOUSQUET Jeremie 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

Hello, I would like to do the following : create a new class, with a number of properties being lists. For the end-user it would be like this : select an entry in first list, depending on the value, the second list is restricted to a limited number of choices. And the same on and on with third list. Constraint : I cannot modify database and create new tables and such. Do you think this would be feasible ? I hoped, if yes, someone could just through some ideas to start with, because I'm not sure on how to proceed to have such "dynamic" lists ...
