Re: [xwiki-users] A couple of questions after migrating xwiki from 0.9.840 to 1b3

Hi, Vincent and Jean-Vincent, One thing I really like xwiki is that almost all questions posted in the user list will be answered by others in a timely fashion. Thank you for your help and my problems are pretty much solved by your answers. My previous category->blog post mappings are lost actually due to my blind import of the 1b3 .xar file. I later on unchecked the Blog.* section and now I can have my mappings bag via jean-Vencent's code snippet. I now can access the Tags section via the URL Vincent sent to me. I also found out I can access the Tagged pages via the Tag page in the Main space. I played with the Panel wizard a bit and can get the XWiki space back there. The drag and drop layout tool is so cool. I also have modified the skin and did a little customization based on Vincent's answer. Now my xwiki has been almost up with the 1.0b3 code base. Sorry to hijack the session, i thought that was not hijacking but didn't know that still left some inaccurate meta data in the thread. I will start a new thread in the future.

Need emollient for minor skin irritations
by THOMAS, BRIAN M (ATTSI) 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

I really like the new skin, especially the comments/attachments/history display handling, and I don't want that to be missed. I have two difficulties, however, both related to the elimination of the More Actions menu: First, I can't find a direct link to the Edit Objects URL for the page. It works if I enter it manually (and let me gratefully note here that the new skin has made the editobject template *much* more friendly), but none of the menus seems to offer a path to it. Second, the More Actions menu had an item that mitigated an existing annoyance, which was that, if a page had objects (other than comments) displayed on it, the URL in the Edit link was changed to /inline/ from /edit/. To me it was annoying, but to many users, it was confusing, which is worse, of course. It got to the point where I always used the More Actions menu to select inline or edit myself, but now that option is unavailable. Of course, I can always enter the URL by hand, or use FoXWiki if I'm opening it from a link, so again it's not a show-stopper for me but a problem for the Great Unwashed (or, as they say in Ludovic-land, the sans culottes)... I know how I can provide these, so I don't need that advice, but it would, of course, be good to have them available in the default skin, so I would like somebody to: 1) point out where they are if I've just missed them; 2) discuss where you think they ought to be from the user's perspective (especially if, for example, you have already re-implemented them); and/or 3) suggest a JIRA item to provide them in the default skin. brain[sic]

Using XWiki expressions and double quotes
by Kalle Korhonen 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

Hello, I'm new on this list, so forgive me for asking this, as I'm sure it's answered before (but couldn't find it in FAQ). It took me a long time to figure out how to create a link to the registration form, but finally found it in one bug report: $xwiki.getURL("XWikiRegister", "register"). However, now if you put it in a href it works the first time after saving, but if you edit the same document in (in Wiki view) you see it's getting cut by the parser at the first double quote, like $xwiki.getURL(". Saving the document again understandably renders the link non-functional. Is there a proper way of doing this and/or is there a reason why I couldn't use single quotes instead of double quotes (as you would commonly circumvent the same problem in Javascript implementations).

Xwiki SSO and how to integrate inside another system?
by Franklin Samir 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

Hi guys, this is my first message here. I would like to integrate Xwiki inside of my system, using SSO, sharing stylesheets, menus and things like that. Anyone knows if there is documentation about that? I've searched in the web-site, but without results. Thanks, Franklin Samir http://jnuke.dev.java.net

RE: [xwiki-users] Side-Panel Grouping
by Dandre 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

Thanks alot guys. I discovered the PanelWizard Page and I played around with it a bit. What I did was add the expand/collapse header to it, and instead of showing all the spaces and eliminating a few, I chose only to show the spaces I wanted with the Navigator Panel. Looks pretty nice. Its got some potential if you take the time to play around with it some more, will see how much time I have left for it. Regards, Dandre

Looping through staticlist contents; and others
by Esbach, Brandon 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

Hi All, I was wondering if there was a simple way to get all the options for a static list - eg, via a query? In a few of my custom classes, I have several staticlist properties - I need to cycle through the available options of each within velocity.

Side-Panel Grouping
by Dandre 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

Good day everyone. After getting our production DB to work with the new XWiki with Postgres, I am just wondering how do you group all the spaces located in the right-side panel like in the XWiki website, where you can click on a group and the thing collapses or expands. In our case, there is so many spaces that you scroll down and down and it gets pretty irritating after a bit. Any ideas on how to do it? I hope I am clear enough. Thanks Regards, Dandre

Proposal: WebDAV interface
by David Ward 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

I am new to using XWiki and tried looking for any previous discussion on this (and didn't find any). One of the biggest issues I've found so far in using XWiki is editing documents (especially when developing a new set of pages for the web site or adding many of them). So, as per the Ideas page on xwiki.org I'd like to bring up the idea of adding a WebDAV interface to XWiki. This could allow easy access to the various pages themselves (including classes, objects, and attachments using some sort of naming convention) so that creating/updating pages could be done with many different tools. I haven't looked into anything too much yet, but I would think that using something like the WebDAV Construction Kit from Jakarta Slide (http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/wck.html) should make the task fairly straight forward. Does this sound like it's feasible? David dward(a)curriki.org --

Re: [xwiki-users] Upgrade from 0.9.1252 to 1.0B3 using a Postgres Database
by Dandre 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

Ok, I have finally got my production DB to work. It loads the new XWiki with our old skin (but we decided to move to the new skin ;-) ) and you can save posts, etc. For very long now, I've been receiving exceptions regarding the xwikidocum0.xwdtitle_0 (kind of stuff, typed it out of my head) and XWiki.XWikiPreferences errors. The problem was in xwikilongs where 2 entries (rows if you will) had NULL values in the xwd_value column. I removed them and then received the Batch-error which Rudolf solved which I then applied to the wiki (his SQL query that is) and then it worked. Thanks for everyone's help and I hope that everyone would now be able to move to the new XWiki with Postgres. Just note that I too am using Postgres 8.2 now (upgrading wasn't an issue, just don't forget the JDBC drivers!). Regards, Dandre
