Hello,
Please forgive me if the answer to this question is posted somewhere (didn't
see anything in the archives). I'd like to use xWiki for publishing
articles. I'll be using it inside eXo portal (I think xWiki's lightweight
approach is more suitable than eXo's CMS for my needs). The only piece I'm
missing is how to go about creating a very simple workflow. Basically, I'd
like something like this:
1. Author or Editor creates an article
2. Author writes the article
3. Editor edits the article
4. Author reviews the article
5. Steps 3 and 4 can repeat
6. Editor publishes the article
Where Author and Editor are roles that can be fulfilled by one or more
users, but Authors can only view their articles. And of course, this has to
work within eXo.
Any suggestions?

Hi Tim,
One of the main problems there is that you're using localhost in your
configuration - which as it stands is not accessable outside your
physical pc by design (this applies pretty much to all operating
systems). This is because localhost is treated as a special entity.
For XWiki to understand what you're wanting to do, you're going to have
to use the actual name of the pc where XWiki is installed (and not
localhost or even the ip address for that matter). If you're on a
TCP/IP network, each pc on the network requires a name - so you should
already have a domain name to work with. In my case, I'm using a deep
domain name ([virtualname].servername.d1.d2.domain.com, with altered
[virtualname]'s for each virtual xwiki instance) which XWiki uses
without any problems.
-> Instead of a virtual XWiki, you could try to run seperate full xwiki
installations - I'm not sure if the linking is fixed yet (it was a bug
when v1.0Beta1 was released); if it is fixed this is as simple as
copying the xwiki folder to a new name once the war is expanded by
tomcat.
Accessing the different xwiki sites would be a matter of changing the
\xwiki\ string in the URL (if that makes sense - it's late wednesday and
I had an really early morning).
-> On the other hand, if you're really keen on a virtual XWiki setup and
you've got access to a knowledgable network administrator you'll
probably find the configuration will take a few minutes; whether using
LMHOSTS (a very bad idea for more than a handful of workstations on a
network), or setting up DNS forward addresses.
PS: Please keep all replies/queries in the group, this ensures that this
problem can be researched in future. Also, as my domain stems from

Subject: Virtual XWiki problems
Brandon,
While following the documentation, I followed all the steps and created
all necessary documents(except for network pointers) and classes but the
problem comes when I try to fill in the server spot for the page. I put
localhost one time and it gave me the fresh database but replaced my old
database. Basically, I need to know how I can do this using Tomcat since
the directions are mostly focused on domain names and I am not using a
web host for this project. Any information you need or steps that I took
let me know.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi
I'm trying to upgrade XWiki 0.9.840 to 1.0 on my FreeBSD 6.2 server
running Tomcat 5.5.23 and Postgres 8.1.4. I've replaced the xwiki
app, copied (AFAIK) all the settings across, but when I try to access
it I get a 500 error from Tomcat.
exception
javax.servlet.ServletException: Error number 3 in 0: Could not
initialize main XWiki context
Wrapped Exception: Error number 3201 in 3: Exception while saving
document XWiki.TagClass
Wrapped Exception: Could not execute JDBC batch update
org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processException
(RequestProcessor.java:535)
...
root cause
com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 3 in 0: Could not
initialize main XWiki context
Wrapped Exception: Error number 3201 in 3: Exception while saving
document XWiki.TagClass
Wrapped Exception: Could not execute JDBC batch update
com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.getMainXWiki(XWiki.java:291)
...
I deleted my XWiki and Tomcat logs and restarted the server. The
attached logs are a fresh server restart and an attempt to view Main/
WebHome. (Not sure if the list allows attachments because this is my
first post. Will find out soon!)
Anyone have any ideas what is going on? It seems to be failing to
enter a row into xwikidoc, but I've looked at the insert statement
and I can 't see anything wrong with it.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
I have got two minor issues, that some of you probably have encountered
as well.
1:
I would like to have some more information on the user page
xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiUsers :
1 Current Users
#set ($sql = ", BaseObject as obj where obj.name=doc.fullName and
obj.className='XWiki.XWikiUsers'")
#foreach ($item in $xwiki.searchDocuments($sql)) * [$item]
#end
how can if find out which object each $item has?
why is the object tab abesent?
has any of you extended that page already?
2:
If you want to change a users email in hindsight, there is a faq, that
explains how to do this:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/HowCanIChangeTheEmailOfAnExistingUs…
namely, to select the objects tab in the edit mode and change the
respective email object.
i use xwiki 1.0.3342 (stable 1.0), and there is no such tab.
Best regards
Thomas
Hi,
We are looking for the following security features for xwiki.
1. HTTPS (for secure login and password entry)
2. Mechanism to prevent bot registration
3. Banning access from an IP.
Any ideas on these will be very helpful?
Thanks and Regards

Hello,
I am a complete xwiki newbie and I was wondering if there's a 'quick and easy' way to create a document template or a form that people can use to enter specific information into a new page/topic. I know that there's a document HowToCreateADocumentTemplate, but I get an error upon trying to access it.
Thanks for your help,

Hi all,
I'm curious about the correct usage of the property type "DatabaseList". Can
anyone explain it to me, or -even better- point me to an example?
I know that there was already a previous post
http://www.nabble.com/Xwiki.com-API-stability-and-Class-Object-model-tf3524…
by Sergiu, but unfortunately this still leaves me pretty much in the dark...
I understand that the "Hibernate Query" is an HQL statement. Can this be the
identical statement that I would use in a call to $xwiki.search() or
searchDocuments(), or is there anything special to consider? Can the HQL
query refer to any objects/documents in the DB, or are there any
limitations?
What is the meaning of "XWiki Class Name", "Id Field Name", and "Value Field
Name" in the property editor?
My understanding is that the HQL query is evaluated dynamically when
accessing the value of this property. Is this true? How does this fit to the
"Display type" that obviously determines how the user can edit this
property? Or is the HQL query only used to determine the possible values of
this property, but the user still selects the actualvalue?
Thanks in advance,
Ute

Hi
For the user registration, I want to specify an smtp server in a non standard port(not the default port 25). Is it possible in xwiki.
When I tried, the following error occurred. Can any one tell me what is wrong with the way I did.

Dear XWiki users,
The main task I have for the Google Summer of Code is to write
functional tests for XWiki. And since XWiki has an impressive number
of features it will be impossible for me to test everything in just 3
months. This means I will have to focus on the most important
features; the ones users like you consider the most important.
I only have a vague idea of which these features are, so your feedback
on this would be most appreciated:

Thank you,
