Re: [xwiki-users] On Which Features Should I Focus When Testing?

Hi Ian, Thanks for the clarification. On 6/12/07, Ian Bamsey <ian.bamsey(a)certus-tech.com> wrote: > The XML-RPC is a useful way to integrate Wiki content into other > applications.

XWiki developers have a lot to learn once it comes to testing, but we hope that things will only get better in the future. For now all I can advise you to do is to make sure that the bug is reported properly on the JIRA (http://jira.xwiki.org) (couldn't check since the JIRA is temporarily unavailable). If you want to discuss more about this bug then please use the thread I gave you: http://tinyurl.com/2e69xj > My point about code structure is that the code which updates a page from > a RPC should be the same code which updates the page from anywhere else. > One problem I see in XWiki is that functions are repeatedly coded in all > different places, giving rise to these types of problems. > As Sergiu suggests this is most likely related to caching. Don't think that XWiki functionality is coded twice, but if have a concrete example in the code then we would like to know about it.

Calendar in Home Page

by tcampbell106＠wssu.edu

Hi All, I am a user who is developing an xwiki for my research team. I am faced with two tasks that I am baffled by and I did research on the site and still can not find it. I need to put rights on the topmenuheader (meaning only administrator can see it) and I need to embed the calendar on the Main.Home (or dashboard) page. Please help with this problem. Thanks in advance, Tim

Creating only structured documents in a space

by roopesh＠digitalglue.in

Hi I am creating "structured documents" in a particular space say, XSpace, which follows a "document template". But if I try to edit or view a non existing document, say ADoc, in XSpace : http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/XSpace/ADoc or http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/edit/XSpace/ADoc Xwiki allows me to create a new document, but the newly created document does not follow the "document template". I want to prevent this from happening. Can anyone please tell me how I can do this. Thanks and Regards Roopesh

Survey/Poll Application

by shivshan

Hi Has anyone already created a Survey/Poll application? While it might be easy to setup a simple survey form, there are other factors that have to be considered. This page has more details: http://old.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/Polls Looks like a lot of work for a non-Xwiki admin to create a new poll.

logging & caching problem

by Thomas Krämer

hello all, besides: i did a sort of remote control for group and user management using a rest approach: far from perfect, but working stable. why? you can syncronize the xwiki users and groups if you integrate xwiki with another app. haven't had the time yet to add it to the source, but as it is actually something that is not situated inside the xwiki at runtime but the other app, i cannot figure out where to put it. the issues i try to deploy xwiki on a debian 3.1 web server. it works almost fine, except two exceptions that keep me worrying: first, the logger cannot start its work, the xwiki.log is in the xwiki directory under webapps. second, the cache can not be configured, even though there *is* a directory under xwiki temnp/imageCache, that is writeable for tomcat5:nogroup. stack trace below. ERROR 22:42:01,888 com.opensymphony.oscache.base.AbstractCacheAdministrator.(AbstractCacheAdministrator.java:301) - Error instantiating class 'com.opensymphony.oscache.plugins.diskpersistence.DiskPersistenceListener' java.lang.NullPointerException at com.opensymphony.oscache.plugins.diskpersistence.AbstractDiskPersistenceListener.configure(AbstractDiskPersistenceListener.java:162) . . .

downloading the correct file

by Karin Wiklund

Hi, I don't know if you're aware of it so I'll tell you either way: when you download the .war and .xar files from the French mirror site i Paris you get .zip files instead of .war or .xar. Caused me a bunch of problems before I realised it... //Karin
