[xwiki-users] Blog categories in 1.2rc3 broken?
by Dean Sellers 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Greetings fellow xwiki'ers, I have just installed 1.2rc3 with the default database under linux/mysql/jboss, all is now working a treat! If anyone thinks it is worthwhile I can post a how-to but the instructions in the xwiki uide are pretty spot on now. One issue though, the blog categories seem a little screwy, there are three News, Personal and Other but they don't display very well in the breadcrumbs, or the category editor in the Admin centre. Can anyone point at why this might be happening? I don't mind fixing it as it helps me understand how it works, but pointer as to what/why would be appreciated. To reproduce start from a fresh 1.2rc3 enterprise .war and import the .xar go to Admin->Categories and you will see what I mean, hopefully. I have done two seperate server builds and the get the same behaviour, both jboss/mysql, I haven't tried the standalone jetty install though. I am investigating xwiki as an exercise really, I do plan to deploy it as a public/private site once I have worked it out and re-skinned it. Thoughts, comments, hellllpppp? TIA, Dean.

[xwiki-users] TWiki formatted search function available in XWiki?
by Bernd Götz 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hello I'm using TWiki. TWiki has this really powerfull formatted search capability (see http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/FormattedSearch) Is there an equivalent to this in XWiki? An example of a search looks like this: %SEARCH{ "META\:FORM.*\"TechnologyDomainForm\"" type="regex" nosearch="on" nototal="on" order="topic" reverse="on" header="| *Domain* | *Description* | *Status* | *Responsible* |" format="| $topic | $pattern(.*?Summary[\n\r]*([^\n\r]+).*) | $formfield(Domain-Status) | $formfield(Domain-Responsible) |" web="TA"}% You see that I use a regular expression that checks whether a page as the form with the name "TechnologyDomainForm" attached to it. For all those pages, it returns a table with the specified header and some values: the topic name, some content from the page, and some form field content. Thanks for your support! Regards Bernd

[xwiki-users] Few site problems.
by rssh 12 Jan '08

12 Jan '08

1, looks like FAQ application does not work. I tried to add one question (to not forget URL themself): http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/Howtodisablecommentsandattachments but after adding FAQ is not accessible from main page. 2. link's from existing FAQ question: 'What is space' point to nowhere. 3. I can't find User Guide from documentation page. Only presentation and videos. (So, I was able to found xwiki syntax reference only by google search). -- Ruslan Shevchenko GradSoft. http://www.gradsoft.ua

[xwiki-users] Access rights
by Mihails Agafonovs 12 Jan '08

12 Jan '08

Some strange things with access rights: to read a blog entry, user must have an admin rights. Otherwise XWiki displays a message "Topic XWiki.ArticleClassSheet does not exist". I know I did something wrong, but don't know what :). Maybe any ideas? Ar cieņu, Mihails

Re: [xwiki-users] Re stricting Images

>I don't understand the need for this in the platform since it looks to me a bit too specific a need (unless I don't understand something). >I'd rather we have something more generic that encompasses this use case. I may be mistaken though. I agree that this might be a tad too specific to implement as a core feature. But the extension point for radeox plugins (e.g. ImageMacro) could be improved. I implemented my ImageMacro in the com.xpn.xwiki.render.macro package and copied the class file into the WEB-INF/classes directory to make sure the classloader picks *my* class. Alternatively, I could have edited the META-INF/services/com.xpn.xwiki.render.macro.XWikiMacro file inside the xwiki core jar file. Neither are elegant ways of extending the ImageMacro (in my case to support custom privileges). The most beautiful extension point would be a property in xwiki.cfg that lists the (custom) radeox plugin classes so users can disable/extend/override/add certain plugins. I believe this could be easily implemented inside the com.xpn.xwiki.render.macro.MacroRepository class.

[xwiki-users] problems running xwiki-ent 1.2-rc2/3 war under jetty 6
by Sean Lynn 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

This is driving me nuts. Any suggestions or guidance is appreciated. I have the following config: Linux Java 1.5.0_13 and 1.6.0.03 Jetty 6.1.6 and 6.1.7 MySql 5.0.44 xwiki-enterprise-web-1.2-rc-3.war xwiki-enterprise-wiki-1.2-rc-3.xar Firefox 2.0.0.11 I can verify that Jetty runs properly by deploying a couple other webapps to it. I can verify that the xwiki war is good. I can verify that my MySQL works. In fact I can follow the installation instructions for Tomcat+MySQL (Tomcat v6) and everything works fine. However, when I run the same installation procedure in Jetty I see the app come up, but I can't keep my user cookies (superadmin activated) to do anything useful. There is no logout in upper right and I have no ability to edit the wiki via the upper left menu (I can only show). I do not have permissions to do many actions and after uploading the web wiki xar I have no Admin rights, no ability to see that I'm logged in, etc... I've tried this on two separate Linux machines with every combination available with same results. The logs show....: 241 [main] INFO org.mortbay.log - jetty-6.1.7 389 [main] WARN org.mortbay.log - Unknown realm: Test JAAS Realm 2407 [main] INFO /xwiki - Loading plexus context properties from: '/WEB-INF/plexus.properties' 2410 [main] INFO /xwiki - Initializing Plexus. 2410 [main] INFO /xwiki - resource = file:/home/slynn/tools/jetty-6.1.7/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/plexus.xml 2677 [main] INFO /xwiki - Plexus initialized. 3472 [main] INFO org.mortbay.log - Opened /home/slynn/tools/jetty-6.1.7/logs/2008_01_10.request.log 3508 [main] INFO org.mortbay.log - Started [email protected]:8080 10258 [btpool0-7] WARN org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils - No FormBeanConfig found under 'view' 10502 [btpool0-7] INFO com.xpn.xwiki.cache.impl.OSCacheService - Initializing OSCacheService ...etc... on jetty startup and then a ton of the struts FormBeanConfig WARNINGS below for view and skin: 18421 [btpool0-7] INFO com.xpn.xwiki.store.DBCPConnectionProvider - active: 0 (max: 50) idle: 1(max: 5) 18516 [btpool0-6] WARN org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils - No FormBeanConfig found under 'skin' 18520 [btpool0-6] WARN org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils - No FormBeanConfig found under 'skin' 18520 [btpool0-7] WARN org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils - No FormBeanConfig found under 'skin' 18525 [btpool0-6] WARN org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils - No FormBeanConfig found under 'skin' 18525 [btpool0-7] WARN org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils - No FormBeanConfig found under 'skin' 18526 [btpool0-7] INFO com.xpn.xwiki.web.SkinAction - Skin file '/skins/albatross/table.css' does not exist I see no other WARNING's in the logs except the struts form bean configs. I also imagine that the skin file errors are caused by struts misconfigurations as well. Hope I've provided enough information - the log file is very long. I believe Jetty 6 doesn't like the struts configuration, but am out of ideas about how to go further. Thanks, Sean

[xwiki-users] Translation (french)
by Gaëtan GUYODO 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

If I give a "fr" parameter into the admin>prefs>language and admin>prefs>default language, my wiki is almost fully translated... How that translation works ? Is there any file for each translation ? There's a few things who still need to be translated, and I'm interested to do that, so if anyone can explain me how to do, thanks... -- __________________________________________ Gaëtan GUYODO Chargé de mission Centre Antipoison - Hôpital Fernand WIDAL 200, rue du faubourg St Denis 75475 PARIS Cedex 10 Tél: 01 40 05 49 63 / Fax: 01 40 05 48 56 __________________________________________

[xwiki-users] LDAP attributes
by Mihails Agafonovs 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

Hi! Can you explain me, how XWiki binds to AD with an appropriate password? I mean, in xwiki.cfg we don't specify what field XWiki should look for a password in Active Directory. There is a line: xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass={1} And in AD I have a field userPassword containing a user password. So, where it's specified? Ar cieņu, Mihails

Re: [xwiki-users] Help deploying xwiki under jboss/mysql/linux
by Dean Sellers 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

Hopefully I haven't caused any work for anyone as I have found the solution to the problem. The instructions on the xwiki admin page may need an update/clarification. The answer is to name the directory you expand the .war into with a .war extension as per; http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=ExplodedDeployment I renamed the directory from; $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/xwiki To; $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/xwiki.war And hooray, http://myserver.mydomain:8080/xwiki is alive! Also I don't have a massive server.log and 85% processor usage on the server anymore either. I will add this to the FAQ on the xwiki site, might help someone..... -----Original Message----- From: users-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dean Sellers Sent: Friday, 11 January 2008 11:52 AM To: users(a)xwiki.org Subject: [xwiki-users] Help deploying xwiki under jboss/mysql/linux Greetings fellow earthlings, I am hoping some generous soul can help me here, I am a thin-client app noob, but (IMHO) not a complete muppet. What I have is a brand new Linux (Ubuntu 6.06 server distro) server, Jboss 4.4.2.GA, mysql 5.0.22, xwiki 1.1.2, java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.13. My goal is an xwiki based site for the service and support department of the company I work for. I have installed xwiki on my local PC using the stanalone distro, all good. Now I want to get a server running so I can start to show the interested parties how it might work and get some feedback on the thing. I have followed the instructions on the xwiki and jboss sites pretty faithfully (multiple times) and can't seem to get xwiki to deploy under jboss. I have set mysql user and priviledges, downloaded the connector, modified hibernate.cfg.xml blah, blah. I can see the jboss default pages (at http://myserver.mydomain:8080/) when I start the jboss server, but no xwiki at http://myserver.mydomain:8080/xwiki I get http 404. I haven't got to the stage of importing the default enterprise database yet. Can someone help by first suggesting where I should start looking. I have had a look in the server.log and boot.log but they all seem like gobbly-gook to me. I won't post here as the server log is huge, 5MB, but I can filter it to something sensible if only I knew what to look for. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction, Thanks in advance, Dean Applications Engineer Rinstrum Pty.
