Ok, I see two items: 1. Current issues with inability to move content from for example word document even using WYSIWYG editor and disappearing texts doesn't allow me to get the pages with the same content in xWiki as they were in word document 2. I don't want to use wiki at least now for coding something and want to use only what it provides as it's assured on the site but in order to make it work for some cases I need to read DevGuide as well. 3. I'm newbie for wikis since never edited wiki pages before just used as web pages for getting information but what I see that seems xWiki IRC channel is only for dev discussions or for questions that can be handled by one answer and providing 4-5 sentences for getting one answer which will work is not enough. As I said that xWiki is great tool and perhaps best one for wiki but these items don't allow me to get xWiki working now in they way as I want and since I'm newbie I don't expect much, just get the same content from existing documents. That cwould be good If WYSIWYG editor will be fixed and no questions will appear about their simple usage so they will not take dev team to answer. All IMHO. Have a good weekend.

HI All, just would like to share my first week usage experience with xwiki. That's great tool and helped me at work but what I see I need to know it better and deeper. This is not easy to follow WYSIWYG editor since its usage leads to unexpected behaviour and incorrect result preview page sometimes even with disappearing the text and I need to follow macros, velocity code to get what I want. Summarizing, it's ok if only me will change the pages but will not be ok for others in the company since they don't want to spend time on velocity and introducing macros for xwiki which leads to that I can't say to them please go and edit that page by yourself. Anyway thanks to the dev team for creating the application. Best regards, Juri.

Re: [xwiki-users] Conversion from XWiki to TWiki
by shivshan 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

Hi It is probably more appropriate to ask this question in the Twiki lists, since the import is determined to some extent by the support available in the target wiki. However, any reason why your company is doing the switch?

[xwiki-users] xeclipse xmlrpc 503 error
by Matteo Caprari 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

Hi. I'm trying to connect to a remote (local lan) instance of xwiki using xeclipse plugin. When I try to connect I get this message: "Failed to create input stream: Server returned HTTP response code: 503 for URL: http://coobj2/xwiki/xmlrpc/confluence" My guess is that eventually rpc interface is not enabled by default for remote access, but I failed locating a config panel in xwiki or a reference to it in files. Facts: - I can access the same wiki by browser as admin with same credentials. - Tomcat logs do not show lines refering to my failed attempt. - Xwiki version is 1.0.3342. - Xeclipse version is 1.0.0-milestone-1. At home i'm succesful in connecting to a localhost instance, with possibily slightly different xwiki and xeclipse version. Can you help? Thanks in advance. -- :Matteo Caprari matteo.caprari(a)gmail.com

Re: [xwiki-users] When adding a new page, can a standard template be used?

Sergiu, Thanks for the temporary fix - it works fine. I'll have to upgrade to the new version when I have time to inherit your bug fix - thanks.

Indeed, the proper way is to edit login.vm, where the login screen is defined. In order to redirect to a certain page, you can replace <div class="hidden"><input type="hidden" name="xredirect" value="$!request.xredirect" /></div> with <div class="hidden"><input type="hidden" name="xredirect" value="$!xwiki.getURL('That.Document')" /></div> About the wrong URL the users are redirected to, that is a known bug which was fixed in XWiki 1.1 ( http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1394 ) On 9/26/07, goldring, richard <richard.goldring(a)uk.thalesgroup.com> wrote: > Thanks Wei-hsing, > > In my XWiki setup I've set it so all users have to login and so when its > their first login to the XWiki they end up at > http://167.138.122.17:8080/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiLogin%3Bjsessionid%3D7s > or9btuj7s6d with a message saying "The requested document could not be > found."

Thanks Wei-hsing, In my XWiki setup I've set it so all users have to login and so when its their first login to the XWiki they end up at http://167.138.122.17:8080/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiLogin%3Bjsessionid%3D7s or9btuj7s6d with a message saying "The requested document could not be found." Any ideas? I have found though that I could edit the CSS login.vm albatros skin file to add an email link (for users to request an XWiki user account from the administrator i.e. me) onto the login page if that's of any use to any other users out there.
