[xwiki-users] XWiki WorkSpaces for public service
by Mingfai 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

hi, I wonder if I'm the first few outside people to try XWS milestone 1. :-) Well, I'm evaluating the XWiki series of products for my Java User Group in Hong Kong. XWS "looks" better than XE to me and it seems XWS allows every user to create his/her own space of blog, wiki, photo and files, that perfectly fit my needs. I wonder: - could XWS provide public registration, and anonymous (/non-logged-in) user access mode? - could XE actually do all XWS can do and I should use XE for public service? In fact, I feel XE has steeper learning curve than XWS. It seems XE does not provide individual blog, photo and file spaces - any pointer if I want to limit one user to create only one space? - could anyone point me to where I may be able to customize the space name and url? basically, the use of "Space_" as prefix look quite odd to me and i would like to remove it. And if it is possible i would want to make the url shorter. Currently, it's something like: " http://mydomain.com/xwiki/bin/view/Space_username/", i am able to remove the context "xwiki", and i suppose it shouldn't be difficult to turn Space_username to username. It's most desirable to turn bin/view to nothing or make it a single "folder", e.g. remove "/bin" (i suppose the action cannot be removed.) regarding URL, i wonder if the developers like to go to the REST-ful direction. Some people think in REST-ful URL only resource but not action should be put as the path. (certainly, i understand in using Struts, some options may not be available) Thank you very much. Regards, mingfai

[xwiki-users] XWiki 13: Watchlist mails contain scripting code

Hello, I tried to use the Watchlist feature of XWiki 1.3 and finally I receive the emails created by it but they just contain the scripting code, so the code seems not to be excecuted. I already deleted the date fomatting in the code as it stops the creation of the mail at all. Any ideas? Thanks! Bye, Jan Hello Jan-Sebastian, This message is sent by XWiki.

It's working fine now thanks :) There is no way to get it like that one instead of the table? http://orientware.objectweb.org/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/AllDocs Original Message: Hi, I googled for it and yes exactly like this one but I get 'The requested > document could not be found' on my wiki. Any idea why it's not supported in > my xwiki. Did you import the default XAR available for download at : http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download#HXWikiEnterprise ? To retrieve the page, download the XAR, go to administration > import, add the file to the page, click on its name, uncheck all boxes but the one marked Main.AllDocs and import it. This will recreate the doc in your wiki. Guillaume --

[xwiki-users] upgrading xwiki 1.2.2
by Joao Henrique Silva Santos 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Hi. I have installed an XWiki 1.2.2 through a "XWiki Enterprise ZIP", and now want to upgrade to 1.3. >From the documentation, it seems that easy upgrades of the wiki require the WAR installation, which I have not done. Do I have to export my current wiki into a WAR (if so, how can I do it?), or is it done through a different method? Best regards, Joao

Re: [xwiki-users] Display directory tree under xwiki
by Gellien, Joerg 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Hi Guillaume, In the ancient days before xwiki we used to checkout a project from version control (Telelogic Synergy) into the file system. To access it from Web we put the base directory under apache htdocs using directory navigation feature provided by apache server. The major drawback was/is - no access control (ok htaccess - not realy maintainable in our case) - no possibility to add meta data like version, author e.a. from version control - no special filters on file types (e.g. only show office documents for project a (separate directory structure), all documents for project b (separate directory structure) My first idea is to provide a plugin to access filesystem starting from a root-directory and generate a tree like structure. On top of this I can provide a filter mechanism and adding meta data to the display. It should look something like this: http://mywiki/xwiki/bin/ProjectA/ContentFromVersionControl (Page content) This page contains detailed data from project myspecialProject~jgellien from Synergy repository myrepo: myspecialProject~jgellien |-----doc | |- myDescription.doc (version: 1.0, last changed: jgellien) | |- more docs to come (version: 1.1, last changed: jgellien) | |-subdir |- projectplan.xls (version: 1.1, last modified: jgellien) The documentation is directly maintained inside version control with a predefined directory structure. This structure should be preserved in the presentation layer. Updating the documentation could be done with a chron job. Perhaps this goes into the direction of WebDav and ViewVC but I am no expert on this field. Do you have any advise how to proceed? Any help is highly appreciated.

I didn't understand this : - Where will your files be stored -> in an external system or as attachments to a wiki page ? - If your files are stored in an external system and you want to provide access to them from the wiki, you need to tell us what system this is (there is some work going on with WebDav or SVN integration for instance) - If your files are stored in your wiki -> then it is quite easy to generate a list of all the files attached to a given wiki page on that page itself. It will save you the time of having to edit the page to add a link towards new files every time you upload one. Thanks, Guillaume

[xwiki-users] hibernate query explorer?
by Paul Libbrecht 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Hello XWikiers, I'd be in need of a little tool to help me fine-tune HQL queries for our XWiki before I can insert them in pages. Is there already such a tool? It could be as simple as a textarea and a tabular result. paul
