It seems the reply only came to me, so I'm sending it to the list again. The HTML generated by XWiki is the same one you wrote? I mean, this snippet you sent is also what your browser gets or is it different?

[xwiki-users] xwiki rendering questions / suggestions
by Ari 16 Jun '08

16 Jun '08

Hello. My question / suggestion goes with two part. PART 1 I've tried to figure out why the XWiki renders xwiki-headings as it does. E.g "1 Title One" is rendered as '<h2 class="heading-1">Title One</h2>'. I would like to change this to be h1-element instead of h2-element. At first I suspected that this change would require only small modification in some velocity template. It seems that I was wrong. My current guess is that this rendering is done somewhere in java (from xwiki.hbm.xml I tracked the doc.XWikiDocument and with that my guess is DefaultXWikiRenderingEngine.java). However, I don't know how/where I should change the code. Is there a flow-chart or something to describe the render-phase? As the description of this list goes: I would suggest that the xwiki rendering should be done in a straightforward way where syntax 1 would be h1, 1.1 h2, 1.1.1 h3 and so on. PART 2 Another suggestion is that minor fix would be implemented in rendering. An example text and the rendered result: ------------------ this is text before list. * this * is * list this is text after list. ------------------ <p>this is text before list.</p> <ul class="star"> <li>this</li> <li>is</li> <li>list</li> </ul>this is text after list. ------------------ Also "this is text after list" should be rendered as paragraph. A workaround is to write: ------------------ this is text before list. * this * is * list <span> this is text after list. ------------------ <p>this is text before list.</p> <ul class="star"> <li>this</li> <li>is</li> <li>list</li> </ul><span> <p>this is text after list.</p> ------------------ Same goes with lists with - * and #. With Best Regards, ari

[xwiki-users] New install problem: 404 from Tomcat
by Graeme West 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

Hi all, Just attempted to deploy the XWiki 1.4 .WAR distribution into Tomcat 5.5.20, using PostgreSQL, and I'm getting a 404 error when I try to load the Xwiki main page. I deployed the wiki by dropping the .war file into the webapps directory, and Tomcat subsequently automatically unpacked the WAR into an 'xwiki' directory. But now when I go to my host : http://localhost:8080/xwiki/ , I get an Apache Tomcat 404 error, saying "The requested resource (/xwiki/) is not available.". It's not even an XWiki 404 - it's a default Tomcat one, the same as I'd get if I loaded http://localhost:8080/ThisWebAppDoesNotExist . I'm sure I've installed the Xwiki war incorrectly, but can anyone point me in the right direction - where have I gone wrong? I'm deploying on CentOS 5 using the default Tomcat installation which comes with that OS. The only thing I've changed is the Hibernate configuration to reflect a Postgre database (which is set up). Thanks in advance. Graeme West Glasgow Caledonian University is a registered Scottish charity, number SC021474

[xwiki-users] 1.4.1 and resetting user passwords?
by Joe 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

Hi, One small thing I notice is hat you have to go the the objects for resetting a user's password (ie, when you're not the user and you're changing it for them). Shouldn't this have an automatic temporary-password script behind it? Also, when setting a user's password manually through the objects, I get a big nasty database error.. followed by general odd behavior even if I recreate the account. Is that expected?

[xwiki-users] Workspaces install
by Matthew Levy 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

Hi all, I am attempting to install workspaces and everything installs correctly but when I am prompted to create the organization's space, it looks as if the macros are not working. Instead of the form field to enter the name of the space, I get: $newspace.display("displayTitle","edit"). It looks like the velocity engine is not working for some reason. If I install as standalone, it works just fine. The xwiki instance is running on glassfish using hsqldb. I would imagine this is fairly common as I followed the instructions to a tee, but I still get this. Any clues? Thanks much, Matt

[xwiki-users] Edit menu has no entries

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, as I remember, I once saw several entries in the "Edit" menu, like Wiki or Wysiwyg syntax, or class and object editor. In my local installation, I see this only if logged in as superadmin. In my myxwiki.org pages, I can't see any entries in the Edit menu. Did I miss any settings?

[xwiki-users] XWiki Does Not Handle Attachments Efficiently
by AW 12 Jun '08

12 Jun '08

Is there anything I can do to make XWiki 1.4 handle large attachments? That is, attachments from a few megabytes up to a few dozen megabytes. XWiki does not appear to efficiently handle attachments in general; large attachments appear to require extraordinary measures and resources. In testing prior to a deployment I attempted to attach a 56 MB file to an instance running on a server with 2GB of RAM and using MySQL as the database. To attach the file: 1. I first had to set the MySQL max_allowed_packet value in /etc/my.cnf to a larger value, since by default it's only 1MB and XWiki stores attachments directly in the database, rather than saving them in the file system and referencing the attachment's path. 2. Next I needed change the maximum attachment size in XWiki, which can be done by "edit[ing] the XWiki.XWikiPreferences class and add[ing] a NumberProperty field of type long, named upload_maxsize" which I finally figured out I could accomplish by visiting a page similar to "http://my.server/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=object" ...although this wasn't immediately obvious. 3. At this point attempting to attach the file resulted in a JDBC error, which I resolved by manually changing some columns in the database from type mediumblob to longblob. 4. Attempting to attach the file still didn't work, this time due to Java heap space limitations. I increased the size of the heap, modifying the JAVA_OPTS with -Xmx512m -Xms512m (setting the initial and maximum heap sizes to 512MB, up from 256). This had no effect on the error, so I increased the size to 1 GB, but the error persisted. At 1.2 GB I was able to attach the file. Next I attempted to delete the attachment along with the page to which it is attached. My naïve assumption was that deleting an attachment should be easier than adding one and I didn't anticipate problems. Unfortunately, this again resulted in out of memory errors. To work around the problem I tried deleting the attachment by clicking the delete button in the show --> attachments screen. This still resulted in an out of memory error, so I upped the heap size to 1.6 GB, or 80% of the RAM in the server. This resulted in very heavy swapping, yet still failed due to an out of memory exception. (On the positive side, at least the swapping helped keep the processor utilization under 100%.) I've ordered another 2GB of RAM and will try increasing the heap size again after it's installed. Until then, is there anything I can do to keep attachments from eating the server alive? If I recall correctly, there has been talk about saving attachments externally, rather than within the database. Has anyone built a mechanism to allow this, or is there any news to report on that front? Also, does anyone have any advice on how I can excise this page and its 56MB attachment from the system prior to more memory arriving? (I'd like to do so as, aside from the attachment problems and dysfunctional WYSIWYG editor, the system looks deployable.) As it stands, unless I'm doing something incorrectly, I have to conclude that it's basically impractical to use attachments larger than a few megabytes with XWiki, and even small attachments are frightfully ungainly. - AW
