[xwiki-users] LDAP - importing users
by PraveenVenkata.Koduganty＠cognizant.com 17 Sep '07

Is there any way I can import users into XWiki from an LDAP source. I am currently authenticating users against LDAP, but am unable to create groups, or set specific rights to these LDAP users.

[xwiki-users] Spam attack...register new user
by wangwh＠att.net 17 Sep '07

17 Sep '07

Hi, This may not be new to some of you, but it is new to me. This summer, one of my sites saw many spam 'ad comments' on new user pages. Someone register himself/herself and leave comments on the register new user page (which I should not left open to all). I guess someone hired summer students to do this, they may want to google bomb with links on many web sites pointing to their sites. So, this 1+1= method did not stop spammers. I only show user lists to admin, so this attack did not add any value to spammers. I changed the access control, so that visitors can not welcome themselves to be a user. So, XWiki admins, you are informed. This is just my two cents. Wei-hsing

[xwiki-users] Groovy code in {code} block
by G.Schoepp 16 Sep '07

16 Sep '07

Hi, while looking for Vincent's new wiki entry http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Code/ImportUsersFromLDAP an error message appeared. When I checked it I saw that the Groovy code inside the {code} block isn't treated as text but as code. So what is intended here: Should Groovy code inside a {code} block be displayed as text or should it be executed as a Groovy script? Guido

Authoring templates and design sheets not working for custom class
by Frank Misa 14 Sep '07

14 Sep '07

Hi All,I'm really disappointed by the lack of in depth XWiki developer tutorial.XWiki has been around for a while -- and the only good material I can find is here:http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorialhttp://www.xwi… above links are the level of tutorial I'm looking for -- but they don't go far/long enough....I've followed the FAQTutorial steps and cannot get the example to work as described.I've performed all steps as described -- without error/warning -- but when I try to create a new custom FAQ document -- my class properties (question & answer) are not being shown on the edit/creation page ? It's just blank space with two rows of Cancel/Save-Continue/Save-View etc buttons.* I'm using XWIKI: 1.1-milestone-3.3933* On Windows XP with Apache Tomcat 5.5.12* I'm using MySQL as the database - I think it's UTF8 - Server version: 5.0.13-rc-nt1) When I'm querying the database -- the tables: xwikiproperties - is being populated -- but newly added entries seem to have negative values for XWO_ID column. xwikiobjects - is being populated -- but newly added entries seem to have negative values for XWO_ID column. xwikiclasses - is empty ? why ?2) I would be very grateful to a link to some decent tutorial/documentation -- even if I have to pay for it...It would be great to see something along the lines of the "FAQTutorial" but with more indepth look at available Velocity objects/macros and discussion of how Documents/Classes/Objects/Properties are actually related....I can't believe this stuff isn't better documented :(Hope someone can help me out...ThanksFrank _________________________________________________________________ Explore the seven wonders of the world http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=7+wonders+world&mkt=en-US&form=QBRE

[xwiki-users] import pages in xml ? (Re metadata format supported in XWiki)
by jvivien.m2 jvivien.m2 14 Sep '07

14 Sep '07

> > Hello ! About the xml import/export function : does the "?xpage=xml" feature uses the same format as the one used in the *.xar packages ? In that case, have you got a DTD available somewhere for it ? And/or a default XSLT for display... Thank you very much (this is my first message :-). -- Jean-Vivien MAURICE Elève Ingénieur Informatique et Gestion, Polytech'Montpellier (ISIM) E-mail : jvivien.m2(a)wanadoo.fr Tél. : 0046 7 62 33 20 46 Skype : jean.vivien

Hi all! I am finding metadata format supported in XWiki for search purpose. But I can get nothing...no specific format like Dublin core or MARC. Could you please show me what metadata you follow ! Thanks so much. Best, Thanh Thuy --------------------------------- Fussy? Opinionated? Impossible to please? Perfect. Join Yahoo!'s user panel and lay it on us.
