[xwiki-users] Installing and running XWiki on Windows Vista
by goldring, richard 25 Sep '08

25 Sep '08

Hi, Some user observations on installing and running XWiki on Windows Vista: I tried installing (as administrator) the latest version of XWiki (using the slick looking Windows installer) on Windows Vista and it seemed to install ok, but when I tried running it up using the XWiki starup shortcut on the desktop it couldn't find the start_xwiki.bat in the XWiki directory. I looked and found it under the jetty directory, so moved them to the XWiki directory and tried again, but got access denied errors and can't write to the log file errors in the startup window. When I ran the the start_xwiki.bat directly from a command window it started up correctly and worked fine. So it looks like some configuration, permissions issues need addressing in the next release of XWiki. To simply things is it possible to install XWiki directly as a Windows service so it always comes up when Windows starts? Does anyone know how to do this? Maybe this could be done for the next release of XWiki? The easier and quicker XWiki can be installed and run up then more likely it is to be used by more users. New WYSIWYG editor Like the new editor ... but it's still got a long way to go ... I'd like to see some easy WYSIWYG way of laying out tables, columns, rows, frames by being able to drag them to the desired positions and sizes. Document storage in XWiki Like to have the option to store attached documents external to any XWiki database in some sort of directory structure, for ease of backup and to ease performance issues when the database gets stuffed with huge documents.

[xwiki-users] How do I add code tag in a bulleted list?
by Taro 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

I have a bulleted list. I want to insert a code section in the list. when I use the WYSIWIG editor to add the code, the margin of the code block gets formatted outside of the bulleted list. I've tried using the wiki editor to put the code, but I haven't figured out the syntax. Code: * Item 1 * Item 2 {code}Here's some code.{code} * Item 3 Expected: 1. Item 1 2. Item 2 Here's some code. 3. Item 3 Actual: 1. Item 1 2. Item 2 Here's some code. 3. Item 3 What is the best way to do this? I am using XWiki Enterprise version 1.5.1.12494. Thanks.

[xwiki-users] Re : WYSIWYG editor: Title 1 formatting generates html syntax instead xwiki syntax
by Cristian SPIESCU 23 Sep '08

Dear Anca, Thank you for your advice. I understand what happened: I initially downloaded the 1.6.M2, and afterwards the 1.5.2 version. The 1.5.2 version had the same behaviour because the browser had cached the javascript files of the WYSIWYG editor. So after having cleared the browser's cache, it works like it should. However I think that the behaviour mentioned before is not a correct one (in the 1.6.M2), but I guess that you already know this and perhaps is on your todo list for the next release. Thank you again. Best regards, Cristi. ----- Message d'origine ---- De : Anca Paula Luca <ancapaula.luca(a)xwiki.com> À : XWiki Users <users(a)xwiki.org> Envoyé le : Mardi, 23 Septembre 2008, 22h40mn 33s Objet : Re: [xwiki-users] WYSIWYG editor: Title 1 formatting generates html syntax instead xwiki syntax What XWiki version have you downloaded and installed? The playground is version 1.5.2 (last stable) but we also have for download a 1.6 milestone 2. A lot of things in the rendering have changed in the mean time. If the playground suits your needs, just download and use the 1.5.2 version.

I have just installed XWiki, which I think is a great tool from what I have seen until now. However I'm experiencing a quite annoying problem: the WYSIWYG editor from my instance of XWIKI doesn't behave like the one from the playground instance: 1. when I select a text and mark it as "Title 1", it generates "<H1></H1>" instead of "1" 2. the wysiwyg editor doesn't display the horizontal line below the text (as it is displayed when the page is viewed). I saw that the demo version from playground.xwiki.org displayis these bars while editing a content. Perhaps there is some configuration that needs to be changed? Thank you in advance for your answer. Cristi.

Dear Gabriela, I don't want it to generate html. I just want it to generate XWIKI headings instead of HTML, when editing a simple document. For example I select a text and mark it as "Title1", and he outputs <h1>My text</h1> instead of 1 My text Thanks,

[xwiki-users] Performance of "Edit Objects" menu call slowed down after creating 1000 users
by Rudolf Tronicek 23 Sep '08

23 Sep '08

Hi, i've created 1000 users via Groovy script. Each user document (profile) has a TacClass, a XWikiUsers and two XWikiRights objects. If i call the object editor at user profile page to make some changes to XWikiUsers object it takes long before the data appears. Other object edits slowed down as well. Is there a known reason? Is there a known possibility to accelerate access to objects belonging to the current document (creation of some index in database, ...)? Thanks, Rudolf Tronicek "50 erste Dates" mit Adam Sandler u.

[xwiki-users] Adding a new language
by syam_kg 23 Sep '08

23 Sep '08

Hi I want to add a new language to my XWiki application. I changed Multi Lingual in the 'General' section og Xwiki Preferences to 'Yes' and added that language in the 'Languages' text box. Also I created an ApplicationResources.properties for the language and added it to the XWiki-1.5.jar. Is there any other classes which needs to be modified ? If yes how that can be done ? In general would it be fare to pull out a class from a jar file, modify it and put it back ? Please help..
