Nested pages
by Andreas Rami 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Hi guys! I juste read under http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/ HowToCreateNestedPages that nested pages are currently not available. I really need this functionality for my current project. As sad on the FAQ this feature should be available soon. Can anyone tell me when this will happen? If there is already a "working" version of that feature in the dev trunk, let me know, I could help testing.

smtp server setup
by jgehbauer＠gmail.com 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Hello! I installed a new instance of xwiki on my local machine. I tried to set up the email notification but it didn't really work. In the XWiki Preferences I set the outgoing smtp server to several smtp servers such as smtp.google.com, smtp.comcast.net, etc. Howver, there seem to be some authentication issues and I get the following error message: *** Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page Demo.SendMailTestPage Wrapped Exception: Invocation of method 'sendMessage' in class com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki threw exception class com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException : Error number 10006 in 10: Could not send mail to server smtp.comcast.net port 25 error code 530 (530 Authentication required ) OR Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page Demo.SendMailTestPage Wrapped Exception: Invocation of method 'sendMessage' in class com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki threw exception class com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException : Error number 10006 in 10: Could not send mail to server smtp.gmail.com port 25 error code 530 (530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first h14sm757315wxd ) *** I also tried to use my own smtp server (hmailserver) but then I had some relay problems and the following error message: *** Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page Demo.SendMailTestPage Wrapped Exception: Invocation of method 'sendMessage' in class com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki threw exception class com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException : Error number 10006 in 10: Could not send mail to server mail.hmailserver.com port 25 error code 550 (550-207-105-15-139.ded.pacbell.net (XWiki version 0.9.840) 207.105.15.139? is 550-currently not permitted to relay through this server. Perhaps you have not 550-logged into the pop/imap server in the last 30 minutes or do not have SMTP 550 Authentication turned on in your email client. ) *** I have right now no idea how to resolve these issues. I would appreciate any help in setting up the smtp server for the email notification. Cheers, Jens

xwiki.com stats deactivated
by Ludovic Dubost 09 Dec '07

09 Dec '07

Hi, We got a new load of spam related hammering on xwiki.com. It is more and more horrible and creates more and more unuseful load on xwiki.com. Spam robots have included creation of XWiki accounts and use of these accounts to publish spam data in the wiki pages. I've had to deactivate statistics since each spam-related request that cannot be catched by mod_security creates load on the database for these statistics. The only way to get statistics back will be to use Javascripts which triggers a statistics storage request in the database (which would be ignored by spam robots and search engines), or to wait until we can read Google Analytics or another external statistics engine and redisplay it on xwiki.com. In the future we will propose a tutorial to activate Google Analytics on your wikis. If you know how to do it you should include this on your wiki pages to get statistics for your wiki. I'm getting more and more worried about these spam robots and would welcome any help and ideas on how to handle this to make xwiki.com a viable platform for hosted public wikis.

Change users password
by Dennis Rasey 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

How can I change another users password? I see Vincent Massol's FAQ about this: "logon as admin user, go to Admin -> Users -> Current users and select the user you wish to reset the password for. When the User Profile screen appears, click 'Edit this page'. This will allow you to enter a new password." But after I log in as Admin, find the users profile, and go into Edit mode, all I see is "#includeForm("XWiki.XWikiUserSheet")" in Wiki & WYSIWYG mode. Using 1.0-beta-6.2657 -Dennis

[xwiki-users] How to remove properties from a class ?
by Dan Murphy 22 Jul '07

22 Jul '07

Hi, Is it possible to remove properties from a user defined class (I can't see it in the UI) ? Undeterred I tried to use the info at http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/DatabaseSchema I tried : select * from xwikiclasses this returned no rows, which seems to imply no user defined classes select * from xwikiclassesprop where WXP_NAME like 'myprop%' did show the property I added to the class delete from xwikiclassesprop where WXP_NAME like 'myprop%' unfortunatly didn't seem to remove the myprop from my class (the class editor showed it) Incidently I edited the db before starting the server (to avoid possible caching issues). So, short of deleting and recreating my class... does anyone know how to remove unwanted properties from a class ? Many thanks in advance, Dan PS. Would others find this a useful feature ?

XWikiMessageTool refactoring
by Sergiu Dumitriu 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

Hi, I looked today over the XWikiMessageTool class, and I must say that I'm not quite satisfied with it. First, there was XWIKI-919, which I implemented. OK, I understand that files stored on disk should be charset independent, so only ASCII characters are supported by the ResourceBundle class (jvm) .But, when I can edit a wiki document for storing bundles, I expect it to accept all the characters the wiki supports (in my case, it was an UTF8 instance). I had some troubles fixing this, since the JavaDoc says that bundles accepts only ASCII characters, but it understands and parses unicode references ( \u0123 ). Maybe I did something wrong, but doing content.replaceAll("\u0139", "\\u0139") resulted in the string u0139 being displayed in the page. So I had to trick it into believing that the component bytes of the encoding are ASCII characters and manually restore the multibyte chars. Second, I don't like the fact that XWIKI-921 was not already implemented. Third, I don't like the cache refresh mechanism. It retrieves the XWikiProperties->documentBundles property for each request, and It retrieves the bundle documents for every request and checks if it must be refreshed or not. Why isn't the com.xpn.xwiki.notify package used? It allows registering callback handlers for specific document changes. How I see it: - at startup, register a handler for XWiki.XWikiPreferences (so that we know when the documentBundles property might change). - remember the list of document bundles, don't ask it for each request - also register handlers for the current bundle documents and load the strings from these documents - when XWikiPreferences is changed, if the documentBundle property is also changed, remove the unused bundles and build the new ones - when a undle document (or a translation for it) is changed, rebuild the bundle for that document This should speedup the code a bit, it makes use of a nice, but mostly unknown feature, it doesn't log an error for each request when a specified document is not found in the wiki, and it doesn't require so many variables (previousDates, docsToRefresh). Fourth, as I said above, if a document is specified in the documentBundles property, but it does not exist in the wiki, for each $msg.get call an error is logged. And there are a lot of calls for each request. Now, in my opinion this is a nice way to get in the core of XWiki for a newcomer, so does anybody want to write the changes I mentioned? Also, this is a good occasion to document the event notification mechanism, in JavaDoc and on www.xwiki.org Regards, Sergiu Dumitriu -- http://purl.org/net/sergiu
