(Repost) XWiki 0.9 to 1.0Beta Postgres Database Upgrade using DATA only
by Rudolf van der Leeden 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

(This is a repost of my posting on 2007-Feb-07 with the same title and content) For those running XWiki 0.9 on a Postgres database, the following database upgrade procedure might be useful. STEP (1) Backup the existing database using pg_dump with --data_only and --attribute-inserts STEP (2) Create a new database with the XWiki 1.0Beta schema (schema_pre.sql) STEP (3) Restore the data into the new database STEP (4) Update the new database schema to be full compatible with the 1.0Beta schema (schema_post.sql) STEP (5) Start XWiki 1.0B3 The detailed procedure is outlined in schema_pre.sql. Please report any success or failure so that the community can learn from your experience and we can improve the tools. Good luck!

Beta 4 issue - Bullets in table columns not displyed correctly
by Martin Barrs 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

FYI: Wanting to display a number of bulleted items in a single table column, the bullets are not displayed as bullets, but as asterisks. WYSIWYG editing displays the table with the bullets, as intended. The code is: {table} Criteria | Scope | Taxonomy | Value TechnologyLock-In | Per Framework |\\ * Is it Standards based?\\ * # of Alternatives\\ * Ease of transition to alternatives\\ * Available support for the framework| VendorLock-In | Per Framework |\\ * Is it Standards based?\\ * # of Alternatives\\ * Ease of transition to alternatives\\ * Available support for the framework | {table} This is on V1 Beta 4. Thanks Martin

Single Sign On
by Esbach, Brandon 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

Hmm, probably more directed at the xwiki dev team; and anyone out there who's using LDAP for authentication. I was looking over a few of my listed user requests this morning, and it struck me just how often folks are having problems with user passwords. To combat that, LDAP is most likely going to be our priority implementation (don't think there will be many problems with that, it's quite nicely documented). HOWEVER, This got me to thinking about the single sign-on (SSO) which is practically a given for users that are on any sort of directory service when considering major applications - for example, Outlook, Google's office suite, etc. I was wondering if anyone had given some thought to how this may work with Xwiki? Granted, it's not a critical issue, but surely there is some benefit to users having an automatic logon based on their already-authenticated network authentication?

Re: [xwiki-users] Problems with CSS
by Ricardo Rodríguez - Your XEN ICT Team 01 Mar '07

Hi, Oskar, Completely new to xWiki I'm afraid I can't be of much help. But I think there is a clear thing: "documents" are in the database. HTH, Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your XEN ICT Team >>> Oskar E. Skeide<oskaremil(a)gmail.com> 1/3/2007 15:49 >>> OK, I guess I just have to edit the document then, to ensure a proper formatting. But when I choose the "Edit" option it seems like it's only the content DIV I can edit. I guess I have to find the document in my filesystem and edit it from there. Problem is, I can't find that document. Where are the WXiki documents stored ? I cannot find them anywhere in [TOMCAT_HOME]/webapps/xwiki/

ColdFusion MX 7 and xwiki
by ykim＠ebmud.com 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

I am trying to get xwiki to run under ColdFusion MX7 server running with IIS 5. I added the classpath to root/xwiki in ColdFusion, but we can't get xwiki to run. Are we overlooking something? Can xwiki run under ColdFusion MX7 server and IIS?

Problems with CSS
by Oskar E. Skeide 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

I imported the default pages from the XWiki homepage, everything looks fine except for the frontpage. It seems like a CSS problem. I've tried to view the page in Firefox 2.0 and IE6. In IE6 the panel menu ( which is supposed to be located right) appears in the top-left corner. In Firefox it appears bottom-left. Sometimes it displays correctly, but not as often as it displays incorrect. When I click another link the menu displays where it should ( top-right) You can take a look at it here: http://mypal.kicks-ass.org:8180/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome -- if(!Coffee.Exists) { me.Dispose(); throw new NullCoffeeException(); }

XWiki configuration change
by Vincent Massol 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Hi, For those using a custom XWiki configuration with a custom web.xml, we have changed yesterday the way to configure xwiki. Namely we have changed the way XWiki is initialized. So if you're using a custom web.xml and you wish to upgrade to the trunk version (or to 1.0 beta 5 when it's out) you'll need to read the following: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ ReleaseNotesXWiki10Beta5#HMigrationnotesfromallpreviousversions Thanks -Vincent

non xwiki10b1 skins
by Andrew Williams 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Hey there, I was looking at skins for xwiki, as I am not that fond of the default xwiki10b1 and I found xwiki10. This skin looks good, but unfortunately the registration link is broken (linking to a page that does not exist). Can someone point me to a way to fix this or indeed if there is a nice clean (more compact) skin available for general use? Thanks, Andy
