That did the trick. My version number is displaying just right now. I had about 6 files too many. Seems I mess up pretty bad, during upgrades. I blame the fact that I want to keep to many files afterwards. Perhaps thats why my tagcloud gives errors sometimes. I'm gonna do some cleaning up. Thanks!

[xwiki-users] Documentation and code tutorials
by goldring, richard 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

Hi all, Just an observation: if there were more documentation, code tutorials i.e. customising the skins, writing macros, writing objects and using them, embedding groovy and velocity code, explaination of snippets of code and how they work, etc then a lot more people would start writing and contributing stuff and it would snowball - so what I'm saying is that a little more work in this area would reap great rewards. Unfortunately I don't know enough of how XWiki works to do this otherwise I'd contribute.

Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki : issue management tool?
by goldring, richard 20 Sep '07

Thanks Vincent, Backup: I'll look into how to do backup using HSQLDB and/or MySQL, although it would be more convienent to do it from XWiki using triggering the Export utility function to do a backup over night on a daily basis - has it got an API to do this. Would it be possible to use the Export facility to only backup pages and attachments added/modified since a certain date? User admin: Being in the process of adding a large number of users I found it would be useful to be able to select a users user group from a pull down menu when registering them - if no one else has then if I can figure out how to code this then I'll let people know how to do this. Did I hear that the admin side is in the process of being revamped anyway or did I mis hear?

I don't think this is documented on xwiki.org but it would be nice to document it there. When you find out how to do it it would be nice if you could help document it. Have you searched the xwiki mail archives? The next step if nobody knows will be to check the sources :) Thanks -Vincent Thales UK Ltd (Wells) DISCLAIMER: The information contained in this e-mail is confidential.

[xwiki-users] Logo on finch skin
by Vitantonio Messa 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

Hi, I'm working on the finch skin. I'm not able to modify the logo, as I've done for the albatross skin. From the CSS I've seen that the current logo for finch is a transparent blanck image while there is background image that is the one actually showed. So I delete that background image from the CSS, and changed the logo as for albatross, but still, my logo is not showing. And more strange, the old logo (the background image) is showed, even if I deleted is referement in the CSS. Any idea? Thanks. Vito

Thanks Guillaume, See below. Regards, Richard -----Original Message----- From: users-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Guillaume Lerouge Sent: 19 September 2007 10:16 To: XWiki Users Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Xiwki improvement : w3cschools example Hi, We have been doing great efforts to improve the WYSIWYG editor, I'm not quite sure which version of XWiki you are using but hopefully the problem you are referring to has been fixed in the last available version on XWiki.org. RG - I'll try the latest version and see if this problem is fixed. Regarding the first page your users see after login in, they are supposedly redirected to the page they were trying to access prior to login. That is, if you give them the URL http://<server>/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome and the page is protected, they will see the login page and then be redirected to that page where content is already available. RG - It seems then that initially when first logging in the last page you accessed is the login page when you logged in - which you're not allowed to edit, which isn't what you want the users to see first! When users login later yes they are redirected to the last page they accessed. So it seems that on an initial login to a session the users need to be redirected to whatever home page the admin decides - perhaps the user can define an initial home page? Note for an open wiki this isn't an issue. Hope this helps, Guillaume On 19/09/2007, goldring, richard < richard.goldring(a)uk.thalesgroup.com <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Hi there, I'm trying to pilot XWiki at my organisation here in the UK. I've had to restricted access so users have to login to view the wiki.

How do I ensure the first page they see is Main.WebHome or some other specific page? The WYSIWYG editor is quite important to our first time users - is the problem fixed where you type in paragraphs in the editor and then when you go and reedit them the paragraphs are concatenated into one paragraph - it really annoys my users!

[xwiki-users] XWiki : workflow edition
by xavier.mehaut＠free.fr 19 Sep '07

19 Sep '07

Heloo, Still me :-( Is it planned to have the ability to define a workflow for notifications, edting, ..., of pages? More generally, we are certainly at a moment of the web content management where the border between wikis and CMS will be thiner and thiner (for instance see Apache Lenya project where we can edit pages like in a wiki)... Could you explain to me what still are the differences btewwen those two worlds? best regards Xavier
