[xwiki-users] Help needed :o) - Xwiki vs. Twiki
by mattia_temp-newsgroup＠yahoo.it 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

Hi everybody!! Sorry for the "rude" title, but i'm evaluating which wiki propose in a large enterprise and, rightnow, i'm facing with this dilemma... I'd like someone to share his experience/knowledge and,please, help me to point out the main differences between those two products. My main concerns are related with usability (especially regarding the WYSIWYG editor) security, access control, statistics and auditing features... I'd really appreciate any help. Thank you ___________________________________ L'email della prossima generazione? Puoi averla con la nuova Yahoo! Mail: http://it.docs.yahoo.com/nowyoucan.html

Of course users can still upload files and post comments to the respective urls directly, even with 'showattachments' or 'showcomments' set to 'no'. These settings just tell the skin not to render the HTML, they don't affect any privileges. If you want to prohibit commenting, set the according rights (Level 'comment') for the page/space. Unfortunately there is no rights level for attachments. Attachments are (hard-coded into XWiki's Core) bound to the 'edit' rights level.

[xwiki-users] Whitespace in tags?
by Dowson_Jim＠emc.com 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

I am having trouble with whitespace handling in tags (1.1.2 & 1.2RC2 on Windows 2003 and Windows XP locally - and even on xwiki.org itself). tag1|tag2|word3 word4 becomes tag1|tag2|word3|word4 and tag1|tag2|tag 3|tag 4 becomes tag1|tag2|tag|3|tag|4 I would consider this a bug - am I wrong? [I used the object properties in the object editor and the tag dialog box in page wiki edit mode with the same result]

[xwiki-users] wiki to latex
by Jan Kodera 05 Jan '08

05 Jan '08

Hi, I just searched for some LaTex stuff, and I found this http://goessner.net/articles/wiky/ . *Wiky* is a clientside Wiki <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki> markup to HTML converter written in javascript<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript>. As it is bidirectional, it can convert Wiki markup to HTML and later convert that generated HTML text back to Wiki markup. Optionally *Wiky* will create math formulas from a simple notation similar to LaTeX. It may be great to make inline math editor. Or another option how to get latex math syntax is JSPWiki Math Plugin. It is written in pure java. Honza

[xwiki-users] Calendar feature
by Esbach, Brandon 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

(possbily more for the devs) I've been asked to add more detail to the calendar tool (a simple tooltip with the description for the event)... but I can't seem to find where the table is built up from. Is it not modifiable (without rewriting core wiki modules I mean)? And if not, is there a way to add parameters to the <td /> object it creates for each event, for eg to add the title property.

[xwiki-users] pages take 30 seconds to load
by Jan Kurella 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Hi, After installing the Xwiki in a SUN App-Server (Glassfish) using a MySQL database it tooks between 25 and 45 seconds to load a single page. I installed from the war using a complete empty database. Why it takes so long to open pages. Server is in the LAN and a high permormance server. It is actually not really busy... Other webapplications are working fine - as far as I can see. Are there any parameters, that can influence this? Thanks for ideas.

[xwiki-users] multilingual capabilities of xwiki
by Bozana Bokan 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Dear XWiki-users, I would like to know how does XWiki support the multiple languages. Is it possible to have the internal sites (e.g. administration interface) in multiple languages and to switch between the different languages? In my installation I changed the Preferences - Parameters and Space Prefs - Parameters in order to support DE and EN (Languages = de, en and Default Language = de). I have the possibility to create/edit pages in those two languages. Reading/viewing a page, the languages of the page are displayed in the top right corner and the user can switch between them. The administration interface, however, is displayed in DE (Default Language) and in the top right corner just "En" is displayed. Switching to EN it is not possible to switch back to DE -- I have to delete the language cookie in order to get the sites in DE again. Can anybody give me more information on that? Thanks a lot! Best regards, Bozana Bokan

[xwiki-users] "java.sql.BatchUpdateException: No value specified for parameter 4" during 0.9.840 to 1.x database update.

Hi all, I'm attempting to migrate a fairly large xwiki instance (5000+ docs, db image >1GB) from 0.9.840 to 1.x. The database schema update fails when I try to access a page for the first time. I get the same problem with both XWiki 1.1.2 and 1.2-rc1. Full stacktraces from the log file are available here: http://pastebin.com/fbc7639b . Below is a cut down version: 13:23:53,377 [] [http-8080-Processor25] WARN action.RequestProcessor - Unhandled Exception thrown: class com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException 13:23:53,378 [] [http-8080-Processor25] ERROR [/xwiki].[action] - Servlet.service() for servlet action threw exception com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 3 in 0: Could not initialize main XWiki context Wrapped Exception: Error number 3201 in 3: Exception while saving document XWiki.XWikiPreferences Wrapped Exception: Could not execute JDBC batch update at com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.getMainXWiki(XWiki.java:250) at com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.getXWiki(XWiki.java:426) [...] Wrapped Exception: com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 3201 in 3: Exception while saving document XWiki.XWikiPreferences Wrapped Exception: Could not execute JDBC batch update at com.xpn.xwiki.store.XWikiHibernateStore.saveXWikiDoc(XWikiHibernateStore.java:333) at com.xpn.xwiki.store.XWikiCacheStore.saveXWikiDoc(XWikiCacheStore.java:97) [...] Wrapped Exception: java.sql.BatchUpdateException: No value specified for parameter 4 at com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement.executeBatchSerially(PreparedStatement.java:1669) at com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement.executeBatch(PreparedStatement.java:1085) [...] Note that this is different to http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1702 (I get the error despite running "alter table xwikidoc modify column XWD_ARCHIVE mediumtext null;" on the db image).
