problems faced obtaining xwiki source
by advait 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Hi, I am trying to download xwiki source code using svn co svn://svn.forge.objectweb.org/svnroot/xwiki/trunks-users and svn co svn://svn.forge.objectweb.org/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-platform/core/trunk But, I am getting this error: svn: Unknown hostname 'svn.forge.objectweb.org Since I am behind a proxy, I have create appropriate entries in server file for my subversion client: objectwebgroup = *.objectweb.org [objectwebgroup] http-proxy-host = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx http-proxy-port = xxxx Any Idea why I am getting this problem? Also, when I tried to download zip, tgz, tgbz2 from http://fisheye2.cenqua.com/browse/~br=XWIKI_1_0/xwiki I am getting HTML files, though they are named: tarball.zip/tgz/tgbz2, I saw the contents and it is HTML. I also found following tag in this files: <div class="welcomePane"> FishEye was unable to process your request. java.lang.StackOverflowError Does this suggest that something's wrong with the servers right now ?

Xwiki customize templates
by Josh Joy 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Hi, I'm looking to use xwiki, though would like to do some custom skins and templates for my site. I was looking at the various vm files under the "templates" directory, though am becoming horribly confused as to the flow, page life cycle, and generally how everything is connected. Is there some good resources I can read about how everything fits together and also possible some sample applications? I'm not really sure where to start or even how the main page for xwiki is being generated...I tried looking through the xwiki website, though customization documentation seems sparse, though I may have just totally missed something...thanks in advance... Thanks, Josh

XWiki Operating System Support
by umairmehmood＠gmail.com 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Hello, I am a newbie to XWiki and wanted some information. As XWiki is written in Java, it can run on any O.S. Which O.S should be the best choice for installing XWiki. I am sure each of you has had his own experiences with Windows as well as Linux. So, how good can Xwiki be, if we install it on Linux or on Windows ? -- Regards Umair

Oops! Operating system... :-( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system . I know platform is extensively used with a lot of meanings. In this case it seems a platform, XWiki (application software), running on top of another platform (system software + hardware). But of course criticism is easier than to propose an alternative! So, let's see if I am able to propose something about that... :-) It will be great to help with this page (or any other)... I'll do my best! But it would be advisable I have a better understanding about the whole thing! I'm catching up with that. In fact some users here have started some help pages: I've advised them to go to xwiki.org, check there and try to help building this help repository. It makes no sense doing things twice! Cheers, Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your XEN ICT Team >>> Vincent Massol<vincent(a)massol.net> 11/7/2007 11:34 >>> Hi Ricardo, - First, as you've asked about the distinctions it means the description on the download page isn't good enough so that needs to be improved. I wouldn't mind getting your help for that :) - Second, you say that there's a confusion on the word "platform" in the download page. I checked it and cannot see the confusion. However I don't understand what "Operative System" means... ;) Thanks -Vincent

protected area in xwiki page ?
by anodenblech 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

I am an absolute beginner concerning xwiki. I read some of the documentation and find it very confusing. I wrote a java program to create xwiki pages. The upper part of each page is a text that should be editable by the user, the lower part contains a groovy statement which should NOT be editable by the reader. Is there a possibility to protect the groovy code?

Re: [xwiki-users] [ANN] XWiki Enterprise 1.1 Milestone 3 Released
by Ricardo Rodríguez - Your XEN ICT Team 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Thanks indeed, Sergiu. I think I can get the point. Thus, to migrate from a milestone-1 installation it will enough to download xwiki-web-standard-1.1-milestone-3-hsqldb.war, deply it and point the installation to the existing database. xwiki-application-panels-1.1-milestone-3.xar could content pages that allow to take advantage of the new M3 features, so I must take a look to its contents and upload those pages being used in the former installation. Please, is this correct? If yes, could it be advisable to include a link to xwiki-web-standard-1.1-milestone-3-hsqldb.war in http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise11M3? Something like... "There have been no changes to the database structure so you can simply install this version and configure it to point to your existing database. However you may want to import the default wiki XAR in order to benefit from improvements listed above. You'll find above the list of pages that have been modified so you can restrict your import to those pages if you're already using a XWiki 1.0 XAR." By the way, the word "platform" is used with two different meanings in the download page: one refers to the framework on which XWiki may be run and the other to the "base" XWiki components by themselves. As far as the first meaning mostly refers to operative systems, could it be advisable to change this table heading to Operative System instead of Platform? Thanks for your help, Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your XEN ICT Team >>> Sergiu Dumitriu<sergiu.dumitriu(a)gmail.com> 10/7/2007 01:54 >>> This reflects the new structure of the repository, and the separation of the "old" xwiki into different parts/modules. So, there are 3 major parts that can be seen: - xwiki-platform-core is the java platform that works behind the scene (the model and controller in MVC). It does not contain any presentational templates or documents. In the final package this contributes most of the WEB-INF directory, except some configuration files. - xwiki-web-standard (or xwiki-platform-web/standard, as it is in the repository) adds the view part (templates, static files, stylesheets...). In the final .war this contributes all the other directories except most of WEB-INF. Still, this does not contain any documents. Together with the core, it can be used as the basis for any XWiki product, like XWiki Enterprise, XWiki Watch or Curriki. - xwiki-enterprise (or xwiki-products-enterprise) is now a product built on top of the XWiki platform, and adds only the documents that can be seen in a fresh XWiki. You can still build a war without this module, but it will not contain any users, classes, templates, plain documents or applications. It can also be deployed as a standalone application, containing everything needed to run XWiki (container, database, webapp, scripts to start/stop the container). Actually there are more modules, but you can look at the svn structure to see them all.

XWiki Login Issue.
by Gaurav Upadhyaya 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Hi All, I built XWiki using tomcat, on oracle(and created the database with 36 tables) . I tried to login with username/password as Admin/Admin (as given in http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Documentation , for my sql in comments section); but it does not accept the user. I also see 1) Login 2) Administration on the top right corner of the browser, but there is no user creation/registration link. Please suggest if i need to create a user using some DB scripts, or if i could have gone wrong somewhere. Thanks Gaurav

Re: [xwiki-users] Update with XMLRPC
by diaga＠nomade.fr 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Hi Sergiu, Thanks for the answer. So I am going to wait for the new release that will solve this Bug. Bye Hello, This is indeed a bug in XWiki, caused by the fact that the there are two caches that don't communicate with each other, one for XML-RPC requests, and one for normal (servlet) requests. It should be solved soon. On 7/9/07, diaga(a)nomade.fr <diaga(a)nomade.fr> wrote: > Hi, > I was testing the exchange of data with Xwiki using XMLRPC and I had a strange behaviour. When trying to update a page by adding some content, I had to relogging to view the change, this normal I think. But when I remove the content of the page and I put a new one, I have to reboot my Web Server. It's a strange behaviour for me. So is the problem coming from me ( environment: Apache Tomcat, database Mysql, Xwiki 1.0 ) or is this the normal behaviour? > If you have any idea, thank you for your suggestion.

SV: [xwiki-users] XWiki Login Issue.
by Karin Wiklund 11 Jul '07

Hi Gaurav, I can answer that. The password for the user Admin (with upper cas A) is admin (with lower case a) (as given in <http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Documentation> http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Documentation :) ) You could also uncomment the superadmin in xwiki.cfg and use that one if nothing else works. good luck! //Karin -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Gaurav Upadhyaya [mailto:[email protected]] Skickat: den 11 juli 2007 08:22 Till: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org Ämne: [xwiki-users] XWiki Login Issue.
