[xwiki-users] How to call a macro from a local wiki

by Michael Beetz

Hi all, Local wikis doesn't allow macros; therefore they have to be placed in the main wiki. However how do I call such macros? I am still trying to get the xwiki task manager application up and running. It might be necessary to move the query below to the main wiki, isn't it? Thanks mb #set($sql = "select max(prop.value)+1 from BaseObject as obj, IntegerProperty as prop where obj.className='ITSClasses.IssueClass' and obj.id=prop.id.id and prop.id.name='id'") $xwiki.search($sql) see the discussion on [xwiki-users] FW: xwiki 2.0, task manager application, Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page TasksCode.NewTask

[xwiki-users] Group creation fails

by Jan Roehrich

Hello list, I'm using a XWiki 2.0 instance where users are authenticated against an Active Directory through LDAP. But I want to use AD only for authentication and want to administer my group memberships within XWiki. The problem is, that I only have XWikiAdminGroup and XWikiAllGroup. I want to have a third group EditGroup where I put users who are allowed to edit pages. On the XWikiPreferences page I try to add a group and a modal dialog pops up. But after giving the group name and pushing the Create-button, nothing happens. The dialog does not close and it seems that actually no HTTP Request is sent to the server. Pushing the cancel button closes the dialog but - of course - no group is created. Hope somebody can give me any hints. Thanks in advance Jan

[xwiki-users] The missing quality of xwiki?

by Carsten Heyl

Hi anyone! Here is my transcript of trying to find out something about XWikis quaility. 1. I started at the home page. Hey looks quite good. Not too much info, main "Products" presented well, good navigation. Looks promising. 2. So take a look at the Products presented so prominent. Well done. Good overview about the products. 3. So what problems do people have with XWiki, lets take a look at the FAQ. What the ****? We want to use Wiki for structuring Information and XWiki itself does not get a simple FAQ right? (Compare thet to http://ant.apache.org/faq.html) Hmm... maybe they got overwhelmed lately? No, latest changes date back to March of 2009. 1. The "F" in FAQ stands for "frequently", so a split betwenn FAQ and QA may be useful. 2. 204 Questions without any structuring? (compare to e.g. the ant link above) 3. 73 unanwered FAQs? OK, so the XWiki don't care much for questions and usability? Hmmm can't believe that, lets try more. 3. So what does it feel to use xwiki? Any sandbox or demo available? Hey great, main navigation contains a "Playground", lets give it a try. Reading ... "second generation" (sounds promising) and "how to start" (they guide me, good!). So lets start. "Configuring your wiki by clicking on the 'Administration' link at the top right." Hmm, no "Administration link", only "Log-In" and "Register". Any info on the Log-In-Page? No. Does "demo"/"demo" work? No. Any info on the Playground-Startpage? No. Hey there is a "sandbox"-Space, lets dig. Hmm, no way to edit, just Menus "Show" and "Print". Maybe problems due to a brand new update? Hmm. Need to register? Lets try. "This will allow you to edit pages, once the admin gives you appropriate rights." OK, lets try nevertheless. 4. While waiting for the mail, lets explore the playground via "Quick Links". Index - Hmmm, velocity errors and endless "Loading" ... What's New - RSS Included and my Registration is in, too. Looks good. Hmm Adminstrator changed XWikiPreferences, maybe the cause of my problems? Taking a look at the page. "To edit preferences, please use the Administration page. " - If I only could ... Blog - Lets add an Article - OK, needs Log-in. No Registration-EMail yet :-/ Calendar - just some velocity code on the page, no calendar. :-( Photo-Album - Yeah someone managed to upload a photo. Tags - "To tag a document, edit it and enter the tags". OK, later. (No Registration-EMail yet) 2 of 6 give errors right awy, hmmm gets disappointing. 5. While waiting for the mail, lets explore the playground via "What's New". Mail - Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page XWiki.Mail Wrapped Exception: Failed to evaluate content with id Mail JavaScriptExtension - Hmmm looks pretty empty the page, can't figure out what it is good for. StyleSheetExtension - Same here. Maybe thats part of the extensability, but where would I find Information about the Extension and how to use it? (The Information-Tab on he page does not help me.) AllDocs - Hmms same as "Index", yeah it's the same page, so does not work. TreeView - even more empty than the Extension-Pages TableView - some endless loading, got bored after 2 minutes waiting for "loading" to complete. Hmmm, not much Information for a "wiki". My question to the xwiki users mailing list and the xwiki team. Does that represent typical xwiki experience? Does that represent the quality of care of the xwiki developers? Is it worth downloading xwiki and spending more time digging into it? Somewhat disappointed but not totally scared (yet :-), Carsten Heyl

[xwiki-users] [myxwiki] new wiki request

by Lutz Griesbach

Hello, my name ist Lutz Griesbach and i'd like to participate in the myxwiki Farm project. I'm an IT-consultant implementing several wiki installations at customers (confluence, mediawiki, dokuwiki and even Tiddly...) and would like to evaluate xwiki, and see, if it can extend my portfolio. At first sight, it looks promising, but i'd like to get in touch without having to initially install it myself. The admin user should named 'elgonzo' as well as the the URL prefix, if that is possible. Thank you very much! Lutz Griesbach

[xwiki-users] Pdf export

by Ajdin Brandic

Hi Two issues with PDF export. Might be similar to already reported issue (http://n2.nabble.com/Page-convert-PDF-error-occurs-tc3261515.html#a3261 515) But there is no advice on this issue. 1. I've tried to export all documents from my space (Scenarios) to PDF http://patternlanguagenetwork.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/export/Scenarios/Web Home?format=pdf&includechilds=1&pagebreak=1 This didn't work as expected. Crated PDF did not contain any document content, just class property names. When exporting individually each document things seam OK, but I would like all documents from Scenario space in one PDF. 2. In a different space called Patterns even export of individual documents fails http://patternlanguagenetwork.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/export/Patterns/Pape r20?format=pdf "Notice Wrong password" Error Error number 11015 in 11: Exception while exporting Wrapped Exception: Error number 12002 in 12: Exception while exporting PDF Wrapped Exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 11015 in 11: Exception while exporting Wrapped Exception: Error number 12002 in 12: Exception while exporting PDF Wrapped Exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at com.xpn.xwiki.web.ExportAction.render(ExportAction.java:64) at com.xpn.xwiki.web.XWikiAction.execute(XWikiAction.java:214) at com.xpn.xwiki.web.XWikiAction.execute(XWikiAction.java:115) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processActionPerform(RequestPr ocessor.java:431) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process(RequestProcessor.java: 236) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1196) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doGet(ActionServlet.java:414) ...... Any way of exporting a space content to PDF?? Do I need to create a PDF template?

[xwiki-users] Groovy JARs

by Lewis Denizen

Hi xwiki-users, Just wondering - does the "jars" parameter work for the groovy macro? Tried executing something simple with no luck: {{groovy jars="attach:Main.WebHome@blah.jar"}} import blahblah... println(Blah.class.getName()) {{/groovy}} Always throws a ClassNotFoundException (even tho the class exists in the JAR file) :-( Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Thanks in advance! -- Lewis

[xwiki-users] XWiki request object argument list

by Rieken, Joshua

Hi again, Is there a way to programmatically get a list of all arguments in an HTTP request? I know you can access each argument if you know its name (e.g., request.confirm), but is there a way to get a container of all provided arguments? Thanks, -Joshua-
