[xwiki-users] XWiki RSS feeds
by [Ricardo Rodriguez] Your EPEC Network ICT Team 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Hi XWikiers, I've been trying to understand how RSS aggregation does work without much success :-( As far as I can see, the entries shown under Recent Changes in the default XWiki main page when the *.xar is imported depend on the logged user. This is great: users only see entries they have access to. But what I am not able to get working is a RSS reader like NetNewsWire accessing this thread with basic authentication. I get the same results with and without basic authentication. Please, could you tell me if this is the expected behavior? Or, where am I wrong? Thanks! Cheers, Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your EPEC Network ICT Team

What I would like to know is it is possible. In making the Workspace easier and more straighforward to use, has some functionalities ( jars, templates, rights etc) been taken out from the XWiki Enterprise. Do I still have all the functionalities of Enterprise under the hood? Regards, Harjeet.

I’m trying to find a way to manage the LDAP authentication issue with group. My LDAP configuration has a group like this OU=developers,DC=company,DC=local where under that there is the CN with the list of users but the login name is not CN it is sAMAccountName so I don’t understand how to configure the proprieties in XWIKI.cfg with the LDAP tree is like this DC=company,DC=local | OU=developers | CN=user1 | sAMAccountName=usernameuser1 CN=user2 | sAMAccountName=usernameuser2 Does anyone know how to configure wiki.authentication.ldap.user_group? The others parameters are #-# base DN for searches xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN=DC= company,DC=local #-# specifies the LDAP attribute containing the identifier to be used as the XWiki name (default=cn) xwiki.authentication.ldap.UID_attr=sAMAccountName TIA MDT -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Request-for-help-LDAP-workaround-tp16548787p16548787.… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Extensibility of Workspaces
by Harjeet Singh 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

Hello, Can the applications for Xwiki Enterprise be added to the Xwiki Workspaces. On the XWiki Workspaces main page it mentions that - "Of course, under the hood Workspaces is based on Enterprise, and with some work you can get the same extensibility, but this is not the goal of this product." Should I even try extending the XWiki Workspaces the way it is possible with Xwiki Enterprise, since I am fairly new to XWiki. There is this concept of User spaces which is very appealing in the Workspaces which I really require. What are the limitations which I would be working against, so that I do not try to solve a problem which cannot be solved or atleast with decent effort. An example of what I would like to try is bring in the application of forums besides others Thanks in advance, Harjeet.

Re: [xwiki-users] special rights
by Gabriela Radu 07 Apr '08

hello again. i have tried to solve this paragraph rights for the last couple of days. didn't work :))) i made a var similar to $isAdvancedUser called $isMyUser and tried to give it or not access to parts of a page. then i tried to create a macro that i can add in my page where i want to protect the text. i was probably doing something very much wrong . and so i am starting again. i have read your idea more times to be sure i get it:) i am curious where did u put the #includeTopic('Sandbox.FirstParagraph') or more importantly where have u explained what does that mean. i see this as a method. i still don;t know if xwiki knows about methods. lost :))) Take care , Gabriela Radu :) www.gabrielaradu.com ----- Original Message ---- From: [Ricardo Rodriguez] Your EPEC Network ICT Team <webmaster(a)environmentalchange.net> To: XWiki Users <users(a)xwiki.org> Sent: Tuesday, April 1, 2008 1:36:38 PM Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] special rights Hi Gabriela, Gabriela Radu wrote: > hello.. > i don't think i get what you said about the rights on space.. > i was talking about sections from the page that can have different rights(to edit or not) then the page. > this is what i am trying to make... and yep...i said trying. a bit lost. if you have some pointers they are more then welcomed :D > i have to write something like macros? in .vm files? > thank you Sorry if I have not been able to explain myself. In fact, the problem is that I am also a bit lost! Let's try to start again (it will help me with this issue! It is important for our group as well): We are speaking about being able to create a "page" where "sections" can have different assigned rights. Look at this: http://xepecnet..environmentalchange.net/xwiki/bin/view/Sandbox/NichitaStan… It seems a "page" including text, but it only includes five "calls" to other "pages". Look at the code: #includeTopic('Sandbox.Title') #includeTopic('Sandbox.FirstParagraph') #includeTopic('Sandbox.SecondParagraph') #includeTopic('Sandbox.ThirdParagraph') #includeTopic('Sandbox.FourthParagraph') In this case I am using a page (a single XWiki entry in a single space, in this case, Sandbox.NichitaStanescu) as a "document" metaphor and I can assign rights to any of the pieces as you do with any other page. I must not be difficult to add a button close to the starting point of each paragraph that only appears if the logged user has edit rights on each "section" and allow him/her to edit it. Please, let me know if this makes sense for you! It will be help me to decide if this makes sense for me! Then, we could go ahead completing this solution. XWiki is PLENTY of tools/features. The "only" point is to put it in the correct order :-) Cheers, Ricardo BTW: I think it is time to add XWiki to your CV ;-) -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your EPEC Network ICT Team _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users ____________________________________________________________________________________ You rock.
