[xwiki-users] XEM.war, XEM.war and Plugin Wiki Manager... getting confused
by Antonio Goncalves 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Hi, I'm having a look at virtual wikis and I'm a bit confused with all the installation possibilities. In my understanding, XEM is an easy way to manage several XWiki instances on one server. Starting from a fresh install you would download the XEM.war file into your tomcat, import the XEM.xarfile, and it should work. But what do you do when you already have an instance of xwiki running and you want to add the management capabilities ? Is it when the Wiki Manager plugin comes along ? Am I right in saying : * fresh install : XEM.war and XEM.xar * xwiki already installed (xwiki.war) : use the Wiki Manager plugin and forget about XEM (war and xar) Thnaks, Antonio

[xwiki-users] [ANN] XWiki Enterprise 1.2 RC2 Released
by Vincent Massol 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

The XWiki development team is pleased to announce the release of XWiki Enterprise 1.2 RC 2. Go grab it at http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download This is the second release candidate for the 1.2 version. It fixes a lot more than was initially planned for this RC, mainly bugs/ improvements for stabilizing the database migration process and consolidating the new Rights Management UI, but contains bugfixes for other features, too. The main purpose of the Release Candidates is to let the users test it, so that we don't ship a buggy "stable" version, so please download it, use it and report any problems you encounter on the bugtracker. The final 1.2 release is currently planned for mid- January. Main changes from 1.2RC1: * Lots of bugs fixed in the new Rights Management UI * The archive migration process is a bit faster and continues from the last processed document if restarted * Deleting versions from the history used to break the history for upgraded archives, causing problems when viewing the history, exporting a document, deleting/renaming a document * Multiwiki issues with the search pages * Exceptions while exporting a document are now reported and ignored, instead of breaking the whole export process * Linking to a heading shows the heading below the action menu, not behind it * Editing newly created users failed * Fixed "data truncation" errors which occurred under certain mysql versions/configurations * Switching tabs in Administration now releases the edit locks * XWiki returned invalid URLs when the server port is not defined (i.e. when it's 80) * XWiki.searchDocuments(String, boolean, int, int) did not use "distinctbylanguage" parameter * Fixed a few WISYWIG editor bugs concerning attachments and some missing resource bundles + other fixes For more information see the Release notes at: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise12RC2 Thanks -The XWiki dev team

[xwiki-users] XEM RoadMap
by Antonio Goncalves 03 Jan '08

Hi, I would like to know if there is a date for XEM 1.0 release. On JIRA ( http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XEM) it shows the 1.0-RC2 for 10/01/2007. Any idea about the final release ? Another question. Is XEM 1.0 based on XE 1.2 ? Because XE 1.2 is planned for 05/01/2007 so I was wondering if XEM would be released at the same time of XE. Thanks, Antonio

[xwiki-users] Ways to protect from visual-editing ?
by Paul Libbrecht 02 Jan '08

Hello List, is there a way to prevent some document (or document-classes or...) from being edited with the visual editor ? Clearly some source-freaks will not like it if others carelessly replace their careful source layout! thanks in advance paul
