date property
by fabrice régnier 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

hi ;) what is the meaning of "Empty Is Today:" ? If i let it blank, it should write the today date ? What if i enter 1 ? 0 ? or whatever ? In fact, i'd like to initialize the date property to blank. What should i change in the class, sheet or template ? Maybe i missed something in the doc pages ? Thanx in advance, i'm very new in xwiki ;) regards, f.

Pasting preformatted text, periods in space names, removing an empty space with a malformed name
by Morgan Fletcher 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

Hello. We've just installed xwiki and we're hoping it becomes a valuable tool for storing our knowledge. 1. Pasting preformatted text I have documents which are basically logs of software releases, complete with commands, hash ("#") marks, dot-separated version numbers, etc. All these things are getting parsed by xwiki, even when I place {pre} or {code} tags at either end of it. These documents can't really be adapted to not use xwiki syntax, and I'd really like to store them as pages in xwiki. If I can't store them as pages, I'll store them as attachments. I see a FAQ item that seems like it might address my question, but it paradoxically seems to display a failure to render because of syntax: <http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/HowDoIEmbedXwikiCodeAsText> http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/HowDoIEmbedXwikiCodeAsText What is the Answer to that FAQ? 2. Periods in space names I do release engineering. I deal with version numbers. Version numbers contain periods, usually. Periods in space names causes problems. Is there a way to have a space look like N.N.N.N, by escaping the dots or using some other notation? I know the title can contain periods. Right now I'm using N-N-N-N for names and N.N.N.N for titles. 3. I have a malformed space, which I can't delete, that's the result of my trying to learn how to use xwiki to do 1. and 2. above. I tried creating a page Existing+Space.2\\.3\\.3\\.1. I thought I might be able to escape the periods in the version number with \\ characters. Now I have a space that looks like this: Existing Space.2<br/>.3<br/>.1<br/> I tried using the "Delete Space Snippet" ( <http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Code/DeleteSpaceSnippet> http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Code/DeleteSpaceSnippet) and the "Rename Space Page" ( <http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Code/RenameSpacePage> http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Code/RenameSpacePage) snippets from the Code Zone. The Delete Space snippet (http://our.site:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Sandbox/mypage?space=Existing%20Space.2 %3Cbr/%3E.3%3Cbr/%3E.1%3Cbr/%3E) would prompt me to confirm the deletion, (http://our.site:8080/xwiki/bin/edit//3%3Cbr%2F?parent=Sandbox.mypage&editor =wysiwyg) and upon clicking the prompt I'd get a blank page. Nothing would have been changed. The Rename Space snippet appeared to let me rename the page, but nothing was actually changed. The space once had a child page "1", which I deleted early on. Can I get rid of this space somehow? Do I do it at the db level? If so, can you offer me some guidance? Thanks, Morgan

Internationalisation/Localisation
by David Ward 25 Jun '07

25 Jun '07

In working on trying to make sure an XWiki application is localisable I have found that the content of pages can be dealt with easily, but not so with classes and objects (or attachments). Has anybody found a good way to localise class "Pretty Name" and list values ? Or have recommendations on the best way to internationalise/localise object values? Thanks, David dward(a)curriki.org --

Active Directory Authentication
by Joseph P. McEttrick 25 Jun '07

25 Jun '07

Hi All, Does anyone sucessfully authenticate with Active Directory using xwiki 1.0? On my newly installed XWiki, I'm trying to authenticate against active directory. I installed the xwiki 1.0 war on tomcat 6, using mysql 5 as the database. Using the default forms authentication method works fine, when I try to enable using the AD via the LDAP authentication, it doesn't work; I always get messages in the xwiki.log saying that "LDAP Bind failed with Exception Invalid Credentials". I am able to connect to the AD using ldap function in Coldfusion, so it should be possible. Also, I'm using the following log4j.properties file located in WEB-INF/lib: ****log4j.properties: ### Direct log messages to stdout log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %t %X{url} %c{1}:%M:%L - %m%n log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.file.File=xwiki.log log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=10MB log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=50 log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} [%t] %-5p %-30.30c{2} %x - %m %n ### By default everything that is of warning or severity WARN, ERROR or FATAL is logged both to ### the console and to the xwiki.log file. #log4j.rootLogger=warn, stdout, file log4j.rootLogger=debug, stdout, file ### Hibernate logging options log4j.logger.org.hibernate=warn log4j.logger.org.hibernate.SQL=warn log4j.logger.org.hibernate.type=warn log4j.logger.org.hibernate.ps.PreparedStatementCache=warn ### XWiki logging configuration log4j.logger.com.xpn.xwiki=warn log4j.logger.com.xpn.xwiki.render.XWikiRadeoxRenderEngine=warn ### Deactive Radeox warnings #log4j.logger.org.radeox.macro.BaseLocaleMacro=error ### Deactive Struts warnings #log4j.logger.org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils=error ### Deactivate JGroups warnings #log4j.logger.org.jgroups=error #turn on debug messages for LDAP com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP=debug Here are some snippets of the relevant files: ****xwiki.cfg: xwiki.version=1.0 xwiki.base=../../ xwiki.store.class=com.xpn.xwiki.store.XWikiHibernateStore xwiki.store.hibernate.path=/WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml xwiki.store.hibernate.updateschema=1 xwiki.store.hibernate.custommapping=1 ## Jcr Store configuration #xwiki.store.class=com.xpn.xwiki.store.jcr.XWikiJcrStore #xwiki.store.attachment.class=com.xpn.xwiki.store.jcr.XWikiJcrAttachmentStore #xwiki.store.versioning.class=com.xpn.xwiki.store.jcr.XWikiJcrPropertyVersioningStore #xwiki.store.jcr.mapping=WEB-INF/classes/jcrmapping.xml #xwiki.store.jcr.provider=com.xpn.xwiki.store.jcr.JackRabbitJCRProvider #xwiki.store.jcr.jackrabbit.repository.config=WEB-INF/classes/jackrabbit/repository.xml #xwiki.store.jcr.jackrabbit.repository.path=jackrabbitrepo #xwiki.store.jcr.jackrabbit.nodetypes.config=WEB-INF/classes/jackrabbit/nodetypes.cnd xwiki.store.cache=1 xwiki.store.cache.capacity=100 xwiki.monitor=1 # List of active plugins. xwiki.plugins=com.xpn.xwiki.monitor.api.MonitorPlugin,\ com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.calendar.CalendarPlugin,\ com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.feed.FeedPlugin,\ com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.ldap.LDAPPlugin,\ com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.google.GooglePlugin,\ com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.flickr.FlickrPlugin,\ com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.mail.MailPlugin,\ com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.packaging.PackagePlugin,\ com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.query.QueryPlugin,\ com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.svg.SVGPlugin,\ com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.charts.ChartingPlugin,\ com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.fileupload.FileUploadPlugin,\ com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.image.ImagePlugin,\ com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.captcha.CaptchaPlugin,\ com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.userdirectory.UserDirectoryPlugin,\ com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.usertools.XWikiUserManagementToolsImpl # This parameter allows XWiki to operate in Hosting mode # allowing to create multiple wikis having their own database # and responding to different URLs xwiki.virtual=0 xwiki.virtual.redirect=http://127.0.0.1:9080/xwiki/bin/Main/ThisWikiDoesNotExist # This parameter will activate the exo integration xwiki.exo=0 #xwiki.authentication=form #xwiki.authentication.validationKey=totototototototototototototototo #xwiki.authentication.encryptionKey=titititititititititititititititi #xwiki.authentication.cookiedomains=xwiki.com,wiki.fr # Stats configuration allows to globally activate/deactivate stats module # it is also possible to choose a different stats service to record # statistics separately from XWiki. # Note: Statistics are disabled by default for improved performances. xwiki.stats=0 xwiki.stats.default=1 xwiki.stats.class=com.xpn.xwiki.stats.impl.XWikiStatsServiceImpl xwiki.encoding=ISO-8859-1 xwiki.render.macromapping=1 xwiki.backlinks=1 xwiki.tags=1 # GraphViz plugin configuration.

SV: [xwiki-users] Active Directory Authentication

Xwiki login issue after upgrading
by PRÜLLER Hans Jörg 25 Jun '07

25 Jun '07

Hi, We upgraded our standalone wiki installation (jetty,hsql) 1.0-rc1 to 1.1-milestone-2 recently. We backed up all spaces of the old installation and copied/restored them into the new installation. Now, if we directly try to access a page in a space restored from the old installation we get An error page after the successful login: E.g. accessing the following url directly via browser: http://asj5.linzag.at:9021/xwiki/bin/view/DS/Webhome Brings up the login page, after successful login: The requested document could not be found. The Browser URL is: xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiLogin%3Bjsessionid%3D3f3igkglkf9b7 So, somehow the login page tries to forward to a wrong URL after successful login. Entering the requested URL Manually again in logged in state, the page appears without any problem. Any idea what the problem could be?

Hi, Vincent, Thanks. Please switch my new site KHCLC to the new skin. I will learn to use it. I will learn to switch skins for my other wikis, since that could mean some customization work. I guess there are many others have to face this process (can't avoid anymore).

Hi, Catalin, In my case, I have modified dodo, so I assume I have to switch to albatross then do the same modification on albatross, right? And the end result will not look the same, better, but will not be the same. Just to confirm my understanding.

I don't know JIRA, but the site did not have a problem, just happened a few weeks ago. from this email, others have the same problem. I don't know how to produce it. Something changed on the XWiki farm. I just created a new site on XWiki, khclc.xwiki.com, the problem appears! You can login as testone and use password xwiki to edit the first page, you will see the edit window is covered by XWiki syntax list...
