[xwiki-users] access rights puzzles
by Yishay Mor 16 May '08

16 May '08

I'm having some strange issues with access rights on http://patternlanguagenetwork.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Cases/ Issue 1 ====== I configured the space to permit view for unauthorized users. Yet when loggen out I get: Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page Cases.WebHome Wrapped Exception: Failed to evaluate content with id <http://patternlanguagenetwork.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Cases/>Web Home<http://patternlanguagenetwork.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Cases/> the root exception seems to be: org.apache.velocity.exception.MethodInvocationException: Invocation of method 'formatDate' in class com.xpn.xwiki.api.XWiki threw exception java.lang.NullPointerException @ Cases.WebHome74,17?

In my desperation, I added this to the class sheet: ## set rights to allow creator and contributors to edit ## THIS DOESN'T WORK: CHICKEN & EGG PROBLEM => TURNED OFF SAVE #macro(allowEdit $user) #set ($rights = $doc.getObject("XWiki.XWikiRights", true)) #set ($result = $rights.set("levels", "edit")) #set ($result = $rights.set("users", $user)) #set ($result = $rights.set("allow", 1)) ## $doc.save() #end #allowEdit($doc.getCreator()) #foreach($contributor in $doc.getObject("Cases.CaseClass").contributors) #allowEdit($contributor) #end but as you can see in the comment, it fails because if a user doesn't have edit rights to begin with, save fails. -- ___________________________ Yishay Mor, Researcher, London Knowledge Lab http://www.lkl.ac.uk/people/mor.html http://yishaym.wordpress.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/yishaymor http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=yishaym%40gmail.com +44-20-78378888 x5737

Re: [xwiki-users] Editing with Wysiwyg
by goldring, richard 15 May '08

James, I too have issues with the WYSIWYG editor messing up pages. When it works - its great, but when it seems to randomly mess you edits up - ahhh! It doesn't seem to translate to wiki markup very well sometimes. I understand there might be a new better WYSIWYG editor being developed perhaps maybe available this September. Meantime I'd suggest using the wiki editor - it's quite good when you get used to it and it doesn't mess up your pages although it doesn't quite have all the features available that the WYSIWYG editor. Regards, Richard -----Original Message----- From: users-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of James Dougherty Sent: 15 May 2008 02:36 To: users(a)xwiki.org Subject: [xwiki-users] Editing with Wysiwyg I am having major difficulties with the Wysiwyg editor in both 1.3.2 and 1.4. If I use Wysiwyg, the text font displayed while in the editor is not the same as the final wiki page. Often I have several lines that are in a different font, even though they looked the same while using Wysiwyg. I am also finding random issues. For example, today I changed the font colour of an index page and lost all of the links. I am using a standard Toucan skin. Is it common to have problems with the Wysiwg editor, or is there a fix I haven't found? I am finding I am spending as much time fixing the appearance of pages as writing them. Alternatively, is there another wiki with better editing.

[xwiki-users] shorter URL instruction incorrect
by Thomas UNG 15 May '08

15 May '08

Hi guys, I am trying to configure xwiki's URL to make it shorter by following instructions in http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ShortURLs in 1.4-RC1 under tomcat Everything is working fine except for configuring correctly static resources (the 'hardest' part) to be served correctly by jetty which is difficult to configure under tomcat. My question is to know if it is easy to relocate 'static content' under '/resources' directory for instance. Then it will be much more configurable. instead of making N-servlet mappings for the following: *.js /yui/* /wiki_editor/* /tiny_mce/* /skins/* /s5/* There won't have any mapping to do if files are relocated in a central directory. - My question is to know if it is easily to rewrite static content URL to add '/resources' at the beginning. Can someone tell me how ? - My second question is to know if you think that it is a good idea to relocate all static resources under /resources for instance. Many thanks ! Thomas
