Vincent, We'd like to see: * An improved WYSIWYG editor with the following features: - cut and paste from Word and web pages easily i.e. without having to go back and adjust the formatting of what's been pasted onto an XWiki page - cut and paste images without attaching first (i.e. when you cut and paste images are automatically attached the page) - can the appearance of table be made better and used to layout the page so text can be grouped in columns and boxes more easily? - don't think being able to flip between WYSIWYG and the wiki editor makes sense - when flipping from WYSIWYG editor and the wiki editor the markup isn't very readable or editable and a lot of errors seem to get introduced. I guess the wiki markup editor allows you to enter code easily so a wiki editor is still useful, but maybe the WYSIWYG editor could allow editing of text WYSIWYG style BUT also allow wiki editing of sections of the page, so that way you hide the awful WYSIWYG markup layout but allow wiki markups and code in defined sections of a page. These wiki/code sections in the WYSIWYG editor could then be marked by boxes containing the wiki markup and code - do you know what I mean? So you get rid of the wiki editor and have one editor the WYSIWYG editor that allows you to use wiki markup and code in user defined areas of a page. - if some wiki markup or code on a page could muckup the layout of the menu bars, etc can XWiki catch it and prevent it from doing that? I think how useful and useable the WYSIWYG editor is effects the users experience and whether they'like and want to use XWiki. * A way of sending emails to XWiki so they can be stored, archived and referenced from a wiki page. Hope that helps.

Re: [xwiki-users] installation problems

I'm afraid I can't access the firewall - its centrally managed. I only have admin rights to this particular server. I'll have a look at the log files.

[xwiki-users] name of default database

by rssh

Good day. I just download xwiki, and see, that it is not possible to set name of default database scheme other than 'xwiki'. (Becouse xwiki.tableName is hardcoded in SQL statements) Unfortunately. this means that it is hard to use xwiki as platform for web application, because usually we have situation 'one application/one database scheme' and want to use few applications (or few version of same application) simultaneously. Question: if I change this and wull create path for configurable database scheme name of main xwiki instance, would this patches be accepted (?) or such using is out of scope of interest for xwiki community ? -- Ruslan Shevchenko GradSoft. http://www.gradsoft.ua

[xwiki-users] After installation, Admin cannot log in

by Gregory Mazurek

Hello, I've installed xwiki from the standalone installation and have chosen to use mysql instead of hsqldb. I run the server and everything looks great. I can get into mysql and see that the tables are populated, and I see the web pages in firefox. But, when I then try to log in using Admin/admin, I receive a "wrong user name" response that prevents me from going any further. I've tried variations on the log in (caps, no caps, etc.) but nothing seems to work. If I attempt to add a user (not logged in), there are no errors but upon pressing save, the user list does not update for the new user. In addition, I looked at the database table xwikipreferences (I assume this is where the user names and passwords are stored) and the username is not there. Here are my specs: xwiki 1.3 windows vista mysql 5.0.14 JDK 1.5.0 I've searched through Nabble, xwiki.org, and google but haven't found anything that has helped. I'm emailing the list to see if anyone knows anything about this or whether this may be a compatibility issue. I've also tried this with the graphical windows native installer and encounter the same issue. As a side note, with the graphical windows native installer, I notice that the css and js files do not load but images and text do. Any help would be very appreciated, Greg

[xwiki-users] instalation trouble for xwiki enterprise 1.1

by ossi petz

hallo hopefully this question is not too stupid. i planned to install xwiki enterprise manager 1.1 on tomcat 5.5 (java 1.5). i copied the war file and set up the database / hibernate.cfg. the db connection seems to work (same config used for another xwiki test). when i open the url in the browser i get redirected to: http://127.0.0.1:9080/xwiki/bin/Main/ThisWikiDoesNotExist (which makes no sense, tomcat runs on 8080 on the server) i found this is configured in WEB-INF but i am not sure what would be the correct value. also the xwiki.log file is not found / does not exist. so i either forgot to add the log configs or they are missing? i found some links on nabble.com like http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Debugging#Logging but all of them point to nowhere. the documentation link on xwiki.org opens xwiki.org in a new window. so i am a little stuck here. am i doing something wrong completely? (xwki-enterprise-manager comes with xwiki? it does not need it?) any help, hints or doc links would be great! thanks a lot ossi

[xwiki-users] WYSIWYG editor won't read tables with colored text correctly

by bjquinn

I submitted the following as a bug about two weeks ago, but perhaps that wasn't the right way to ask for help about this problem, so I'm trying the list -- I tried both 1.3 M2 and 1.2.2, and I had the following problem (both using the standalone zip version on Windows) : If you create a table on a page using WYSIWYG, it all works great. If you highlight a the first table cell of a row or a whole row and use the palette button to change the color of those cells, it works. If you save the page, it looks good. If you edit it again with the WYSIWYG, however, it doesn't render it right, and the cell/row that you changed color of gets appended to the line above it in the WYSIWYG editor. Using the WIKI editor (as long as you don't save the broken page back down from the WYSIWYG editor), everything still works good. So it's how the editor is choosing to render out the page that seems to be causing the problem. Bolding a cell/row doesn't seem to cause this problem, only changing the text color. Below is an example of some code that won't show up correctly in the WYSIWYG editor (even though it was the WYSIWYG editor that created it) {table} table info |test table test test test |test test test asdklfj|lkajsdlj {style:type=span|color=#990000}test{style}|{style:type=span|color=#990000}test{style}{table} The last row shows up tacked on to the end of the 2nd to last row, instead of appearing as its own row. This is only the case in the WYSIWYG editor. This code displays fine when just viewing the page. Is this actually a bug or am I doing something screwy? Thanks! -BJ Quinn -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/WYSIWYG-editor-won%27t-read-tables-with-colored-text-… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Xwiki documentation

by Jason Gewehr

I am new to Xwiki and am having an extremely hard time finding documentation for anything. Let me give you an example. I took a look at the code for the Create New Page panel. It starts like this: #if($hasedit) #panelheader($msg.get("Create")) <form method="post" action="$doc.getURL("view", "xpage=create")" onsubmit="cancelCancelEdit()"> It seems interesting, so I want to know more about it: What is $hasedit and where is it documented? What is $msg.get and where is it documented? What is cancelCancelEdit() and where is it documented? At least I can find document.getURL() in the API. Why not the others? This is only the first 3 lines of code, and already I have wasted 2 hours on Google. What am I doing wrong? I would like to be able to develop with Xwiki, but it will not be possible like this. Please give me some advice. Thank you.
