by Vincent Massol 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

The XWiki development team is pleased to announce the release of XWiki Enterprise 1.2 Milestone 2. Go grab it at http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download This is the last milestone release for the 1.2 version. It's packed with new features and improvements. The next version will be 1.2 RC 1 and will focus on improving the stability. The roadmap is to release 1.2 final for beginning of December 2007. Main changes from 1.2M1: * Completely redesigned the UI for managing permissions and groups/ users. It's now a nice Ajax interface which scales to any number of users. * A new Mail Sender plugin has been added. It's a generic plugin that you can use from Velocity/Groovy pages and that is also used by the Watchlist feature below to send notification emails. * New Watchlist feature which allows watching pages and spaces and receive email notifications when they are modified. * The Scheduler Plugin and the Scheduler Application have been released in version 1.1 and are bundled with XWiki Enterprise 1.2 milestone 2. They allow you to create jobs (Groovy scripts) to be executed in the future. They are used for example in the Watchlist plugin to send email notifications for pages or spaces you are monitoring. * New displayPanelLayout Macro to display Panels in page. * New JODA Time plugin to allow using JODA time from Velocity/Groovy pages. * The top level edit menu has been reorganized. Separators have been added, the Rename and Delete actions have been moved in an Action menu and a new Watch menu has been added. * Entering URLs such as http://myserver/xwiki goes to the Main.WebHome page by default (it used to display some installation instruction page). * Panels from other virtual wikis can be used now. * Lucene Search UI and stability has been improved. * Removed the Presentation application from the default wiki (since it was not maintained and was buggy). + bug fixes and other improvements For more information see the Release notes at: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise12M2 Thanks -The XWiki dev team

by Kristian Marinkovic 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

hi, i have a really strange problem with the automatic numbering of xwiki headings. i have two user: the admin user and a personal one for editing. when i save the page below i see that the headings have a numbering. when i view the page with my second user i see the numbering as well. but when i edit and save this page with my second user - without changing anything - the numbering disappears. is the numbering of heading somehow related to user rights? using xwiki-1.1.1.5166 g, kirs page: 1 Brainstorming #toc("" "" "true") 1.1 User Interface 1.1.1 User Interface Concept 1. item 1 1. item 2 1. item 3 1.1.1.1 Menue text 1.1.1.1 Context ....

[xwiki-users] Back-links for custom class instance properties? More general back-link functionality
by Andreas 17 Nov '07

17 Nov '07

Is there a way to get the back-links for properties of a custom class instances? The current backlinks infrastructure seems to work only over links of ordinary Documents. In particular, on line 1507 of com.xpn.xwiki.storeXWikiHibernateStore, in the saveLinks function of a recent SVN checkout it says: XWikiRenderer renderer = renderContext.getWiki().getRenderingEngine().getRenderer("wiki"); renderer.render(doc.getContent(), doc, doc, renderContext); links = (List) renderContext.get("links"); How can this be parameterized, so that links contained in property values of custom Class Instances are being included into the links variable? Example: Class Car: Instance Space1.car1 Property "carsThatAreFaster": values: "Space1.car2" where Space1.car2 is a link to another Car instance. The above saveLinks function does not update the BackLinks table with the Space1.car2 link. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks, Andreas

[xwiki-users] escaping almost everything
by Paul Grodt 16 Nov '07

16 Nov '07

With the exception of backslashing individual characters, is there any way I could prevent wiki syntax rendering, and Groovy/Velocity rendering? To put it another way, is there any way I can prevent rendering of everything BUT HTML? As a musing, (speaking with essentially no Groovy/Velocity experience,) it would be nice to see a macro that selectively escapes each of the rendering methods. For example: {dontrender[:wiki][:html][:groovy][:velocity]} markup {/dontrender} Thanks, Paul D. Grodt TECORE Wireless Systems

Re: [xwiki-users] LDAP and Users/Groups

> What is wrong? Does the user need to have an account on the system > before LDAP will work? How do I get it to not add the user to the > XWikiAllGroup three times on each login? This is weird. I have the same setup and my config looks similar. Users get created and added to XWikiAllGroup automatically. The following things come to mind: - Make really sure the user doesn't exist already, e.g. from previous login attempt, or from forgotten cookies - What format do your sAMAccountNAmes have? I heard that names with dots or @ signs can cause problems. - Are there any users at all created, maybe with the wrong username? Thanks, Tobias

[xwiki-users] Load balancing XWiki
by Ben Vitale 16 Nov '07

16 Nov '07

I'm considering replicating XWiki across multiple Tomcat instances, and load balancing them with Apache. Has anyone ever attempted this? I found assorted messages on this forum from ~2005 indicating that XWiki wasn't "clusterable", because there were some caches that needed synchronizing, etc. Is this still the case? Thanks Ben

Hi all, If I wrote this in a wiki page: {code}code1{code} some text {code}code2{code} When the page is displayed, there aren't two code section, but only one, and the "some text" is included in the code section. I'm using it in the wrong way? Thanks, Vito -- Vitantonio Messa +358 46 889 48 49 - vitantonio.messa(a)coss.fi COSS - The Finnish Centre for Open Source Solutions @ Technology Centre Hermia Ltd.

To be precise, I clicked on the little chain icon and used the link dialog to upload the attachment. For half of my attachments, this didn't work. Either the attachment wasn't uploaded, or the created link didn't work.
