[xwiki-users] Generate Url to delete attached object..
by Kevin_C 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

I have the following code stolen directly from the Blog Categories app: $doc.getURL( Add New Topic Is there an "objectdelete" action for getURL. This is probably in the code but I don't have the sources and it's not in the API docs. Thanks! .:.

[xwiki-users] Working with query results...
by Kevin_C 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

I have the following code in one of my pages and it does what I am expecting however I'd like to try and generalize it some. #set ($hql = ", BaseObject as obj where obj.name = doc.fullName and obj.className = 'CPA_FAQs.FAQClass' and doc.space='MySpace'") #set($recentDocs = $xwiki.searchDocuments($hql, 5, 0)) #if($recentDocs.size() > 0) <ol> #foreach($entry in $recentDocs) #set($faqDoc = $xwiki.getDocument('MySpace', $entry)) <li>[$faqDoc.question>$faqDoc.fullName]</li> #end </ol> #else #info($noFAQs) #end In this example is $entry an instance of com.xpn.xwiki.api.Object? If so, is there a way to get the space from it without doing $xwiki.getDocument('MySpace', $entry)? I would like to generalize that statement so I can re-use the code for any documents in any space as opposed to having to hard-code the space. Thanks! .:.

[xwiki-users] Linking to documents in different spaces
by Kevin_C 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

I am using this query: #set($hql = ", BaseObject as obj where obj.name=doc.fullName and obj.className='Space1.MyClass' and obj.name<>'${doc.space}.${class}ClassTemplate' and doc.space='MySpace'") to return a list of documents from a different space and I am trying to now create a view link to the document. I have tried several combinations using getUrl() but nothing seems to work. Here's some of the code I've tried: <ol> #foreach($faq in $recentlyCreated) #set($doc = $xwiki.getDocument('FranchiseTax', $faq)) <li>[$doc.question>$doc.getUrl("view")]</li> #end </ol> What am I missing?

[xwiki-users] Using one Class and Template for creating documents in more than one space...
by Kevin_C 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Hi again, If I create a class similar to the one in the FAQ tutorial but add one or more new properties to define a space and category could I use this class and associated design sheet and template to create FAQ documents for more than one space? Is it possible to programatically determine what space a document should be created in when it is saved? Are there any simple examples of how something like this would be done? I've gone through just about every piece of documentation but the development process is still unclear. Thanks! .:.

[xwiki-users] XWiki+JBoss+SSO Kerberos (Active Directory) on Windows Server 2003
by Sebastian Kannengiesser 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Hi guys, I'm very enthusiastic about getting everything out of the XWiki environment I'm about to set up for my company. As a matter of fact, right now I'm thinking about the best solution for getting Kerberos authentication/authorization to work as all 12000 employees are already part of the company's Active Directory. I've read the XWiki article about Auth issues and am now thinking about what would be the best/easiest/strongest solution. The solution mentioned in the Wiki wants to use Apache Webserver mit mod_auth_kerb. As for now, I did not succeed in building a working mod_auth_kerb module for Win32, which somehow disencourages me to follow this suggestion. Anyway I wonder, whether I would only be able to authenticate users or whether there would be a way to have XWikis builtin auth features cooperate with the Kerberos mechanism. The I just came across "josso" which seems to a framework which can be deployed into a JBoss Application Server and work as an authentication gateway to any josso-enabled applications running on JBoss. Is XWiki capable of doing this? And the question about XWikis auth mechanism from before remains. Any other suggestions and hints for such are scenario from you guys are highly appreciated , since the whole AD/Kerberos/JBoss stuff is rather new to me. Again, many thanx in advance for any potential reply on this, it's really important to me. Cheers, Sebastian

[xwiki-users] SH/BAT file plugin
by Lewis Denizen 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Hi xwiki-users, I'm trying to create a plugin to dynamically create a download link for a SH or BAT file, and am wondering if I could get some ideas from people on the list. What I'm trying to do is the following: {{shell-script name="fixed_income.sh" display="true" type="sh"}} #!/bin/sh # Startup the bond server ${APP_DIR}/fi/ust/bond_server -conf=fi_ust_prod.xml& # Startup the pricing server ${APP_DIR}/fi/ust/pricing_server -conf=fi_ust_prod.xml -region=ny& # Startup the risk analysis tool ${APP_DIR}/fi/ust/risk_analysis -days=365& {{/shell-script}} I don't want the server to actually "execute" this (that's easy to do), but rather to dynamically create an output stream and pipe it to the user's browser. The user will then be able to save the fixed_income.sh file in his/her own local directory to execute it. I know this can be easily done with attachments, but I want to be able to display the contents of this file on the wiki (possibly in a <div> that's initially hidden), and also be able to edit this file "on the fly" without having to create locally/save locally/upload every time (kind of like a temporary attachment which disappears together with the {{shell-script /}} tag). I could also just create another servlet that takes in a single base64 encoded parameter to reconstruct the shell script, but that's not a clean solution imho. Any other way (perhaps via Javascript) of doing this cleanly within Xwiki space? Thanks in advance (and also for another successful release :-D)!

[xwiki-users] link to headlines xwiki1.7
by Dustin Bensing 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Hi folks, i've heard that in xwiki 1.7 it is possible to link to headlines in other xwiki documents. is this information correct? i am trying to figure this out. the only way i found, is to manually attach an anchor to a headline and append this "#<anchorname>" at the end of the link to the file. is there any change in 1.7 of an comfortable way to do this? in the doc i found this: "anchor: An optional anchor name pointing to an anchor defined in the referenced link. Note that in XWiki anchors are automatically created for titles. Example: "TableOfContentAnchor"." unfortunately there are no anchors automatically created for titels (btw toc isn't working, is this a hint what causes this?) I use a fresh new xwiki war deployed to a tomcat (using an old xwiki database 1.1.2.5797 with mysql) best regards

Re: [xwiki-users] SH/BAT file plugin
by Peter Verhas 14 Jan '09

To achieve this I would create an xwiki class "shellscript" that contains a single field, named "shcode" which is pure text. Then I would create velocity script that dispalys the page or downloads the code based on some http servlet $request parameters. I would not try to "dig out" the shell code from the wiki page. Note that you can access the servlet request as well as response object so you can make downloading just anything, not only text/html. Regards Peter Verhás Péter +36(30)9306805 peter(a)verhas.com

[xwiki-users] New xwiki user looking for some guidance...
by Kevin_C 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Hi all, First, I'm a total wiki newb. I've been tasked with evaluating xwiki for use by the state agency I work for in order to determine whether or not xwiki can meet our needs as a means to share information both internally and externally. From my initial poking around it looks like xwiki will be fairly easy to work with once I've had the opportunity to wrap my head around some of the seemingly less documented pieces like the Object model and development process. My first task is to replace a set of existing FAQs that have been done with static HTML files. I've worked through the FAQ tutorial but my needs are a bit more extensive and I'm not sure exactly how to modify the example to meet these needs. Here are the main requirements I'm needing to address: 1) Support for Categories and Sub-Categories for questions. Used for displaying questions grouped by sub-category within each of the main Categories. Would this just be a matter of adding a category property to my FAQ class? How would I then access the full list of Categories from the main space in order to link to each set of FAQs? 2) Within each Category (I figured I'd create each main category as a new Space) support for specifying certain users who can add new Questions and Answers. I think I kind of have an idea on how to do this using the user/group frameworks. I just wanted to get an idea of whether this sort of restriction is doable within the existing rights system. 3) Creation of global template for creating/editing and viewing FAQ entries. This is similar to the FAQ tutorial with a main difference being the ability to specify an existing sub-category or to create a new sub-category for the main category the user has permission to create questions/answers for. 4) Main space that acts as a sort of jumping off point for the FAQs. Contains links to all of the main FAQ categories and possibly some general information about submitting new questions and such. I figured I would create a main space and have the re-usable objects defined in it and then have a single page that acts as the entry point to the FAQs. Are there docs for the xwiki object model? How can I find out what properties and methods are available on xwiki objects? Are there docs that explain how to use velocity scripting to do custom queries to retrieve the data to be displayed in a given page? ----- Does this all seem doable in the xwiki system? Does it make sense to develop each major category of FAQ as a Space within the wiki? I'm doing this mainly because of the editing restrictions, is it necessary? Can someone provide a general idea of how I might go about creating this FAQ system that allows questions to be categorized and then fetched/displayed by Category/Sub-Category?!? Thanks!!
