[xwiki-users] In the XE Manager, how is the control site selected?
by Lee Chalupa 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

I tried to upgrade my XE version to XEM. I got it working. I setup 5 sites plus what I call the "control" site. Everything seemed to be going well until Last night. One of the Farm sites (1 of 5) is no longer displaying it's home page correctly. When I type in it's url, It displays the "control" site. The other 4 farm sites come up ok as usual. How do I fix this? Is there some parameter someplace that identifies the wiki site that is The control site and which ones are farm sites? Please advise. Lee

[xwiki-users] How to navigate user pages as tree structure from main page?
by Manfred 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Hi JV and Vincent Fabulous to hear :-) Yes that's IMO useful as a "tree" index" and would also be workable but it would be clumsy for what I really desire as a wiki nested page navigation menu. To be workable from the main page or subpages IMO one needs a subset of this in the side panel to work as a hierarchical table of contents - think like the windows explorer file manager view when it shows directories - the drive letters and names would be the spaces, then the next link down would be the first wiki page of that space and then the next drill down would be the next wiki page below the first wiki page. As one navigates to the first wiki page further deeper wiki page levels would be shown. The way it works with Dekiwiki is as one drills deeper the upper levels displayed are "closed" - i.e all upper levels are indented to the 0 position - so that the hierarchy width doesnt grow wider than the initial panel size. Also looking at the tree display currently in XE 1.8, to be practical and not confuse users when used as a sidebar, the wiki page navigation panel one would need the option of "hiding" certain spaces. Many of the spaces created by the application import for example one doesnt necessarily want to display, often just the user spaces would be what is desired to display. So if one creates say a 'department' space then a user might want to browse around in that to navigate to a specific page they want quickly. Really what I mean is like in XE we have spaces which in turn have pages, I'd like within each space to have subpages of main pages which are intuitive for users to navigate, almost like subspaces within a main space. At present it appears to me as if all wiki pages within a space are at the same hierarchical level, which of course makes managing multiple pages on a certain topic/theme a bit of a challenge. Also having this tree space context aware would be wonderful so that if one is in a space then the "tree sidebar" navigator shows only the pages in the space. One could have a main menu option so that a user can always get back to the home/main page but then again the "quicklinks" could also be used for that, but it might be more intuitive if its listed on the "tree sidebar" right as the first entry as well. I did attach an example jpg to this mail but it appears it didnt get through so hopefully you don't mind that I have emailed it directly FYI. I can create a short video clip of it if you want as well to show how one can navigate pages easily in this manner. Thanks for your interest. Integrating such a feature in the main sidebar would make Xwiki wiki pages considerably more navigable. Thanks, Cheers >We are actively working of an improved version of the treeview. It will be shipped with XE 1.8.1. Here's a preview: >http://www.jean-vincent.org/xwiki/bin/download/Main/Screenshots/treeview.jpg >Is this what you had in mind ? >Note that this tree is highly customizable and that it will be >possible to put it in a side panel.

[xwiki-users] Use Tags as select list instead of input
by Jeremie 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Hi all, It'm trying to use "tags" as a more structured categorization feature. First I saw that in tagedit.vm, we can change to a select list instead of an input field for entering tags. I changed this in the displayEdit property for XWiki.TagClass, but without effect. In tagedit.vm we have (XWiki 1.5) : #set($displayType = $xwiki.getDocument("XWiki.TagClass").xWikiClass.tags.getProperty('displayType').value) #set($possibleTags = $tdoc.tagsPossibleValues) .... First line is ok and says "select", but $tdoc.tagsPossibleValues is always empty ... So my question is : where is defined the list of possible tags for page(s) ? I though it was the "tags" field of page XWiki.TagClass, but it seems it's not ... Thanks for help, Jeremie -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Use-Tags-as-select-list-instead-of-input-tp2575113p257… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [xwiki-users] XEM1.8 cannot add new users/groups via Admin
by Manfred 08 Apr '09

Alain, Thanks for the input. I did see your post and did check this b4 posting. I'm running MySQL 5.051a-3ubuntu5.4 server so the only current 5.0x version of JDBC driver I can find at MySQL is mysql-connector-java-5.08 which I used to replace the jdbc jar which came with XEM in the WEB-INF/bin folder so unless I've got versions wrong it doesnt appear to be this. Sergiu, Thanks very much, the xwiki plugin edit - it solved my issue perfectly. Cheers > However I cannot add users or groups in the admin panel - I can only login as the default Admin user. > On the page http://localhost:8380/xwiki/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=globala… > Then if I go to the "index" quicklink I get the same "loading" message but nothing ever loads. > If I go to the tree page it shows me > $xwiki.ssfx.use("js/yui/treeview/assets/tree.css") $xwiki.jsfx.use("js/yui/yahoo/yahoo-min.js") $xwiki.jsfx.use("js/yui/treeview> > and no tree. > How can I fix this? I'm guessing they're related in some way. This is a known bug of XEM 1.8, fixed in the trunk. To fix it, simply edit xwiki.cfg and add the following two plugins: com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.skinx.JsSkinFileExtensionPlugin,\ com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.skinx.CssSkinFileExtensionPlugin,\ -- Sergiu Dumitriu

[xwiki-users] Page redirecting automatically to XWikiPreferences
by Antonio Goncalves 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Hi all, Something really wired is hapening. We have a page that used to list all our speakers (http://www.parisjug.org/xwiki/bin/view/Speaker/) It contains the following code : #set($query="where doc.web='Speaker' and doc.name!='WebHome' order by doc.title desc") #set($results = $xwiki.searchDocuments($query)) #foreach ($item in $results) #includeInContext($item) <br/> #end It always worked well. But now, when we click on the link, we are automatically redirected to the XWikiPreferences pages. I've tried to show the history of the Speaker/WebHome page, but it's impossible, it redirects to the XWikiPreferences page. I'm not sure there is anything wrong with the code of the page, maybe rights issue or something like that. Do you have any idea ? Thanks, Antonio

[xwiki-users] Problems with users administration
by Schacht, Jens 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Hi, when I try to edit one of my users I get a small mask with the 2 buttons "Save" and "Cancel". Above there is only the text "#includeForm("XWiki.XWikiUserSheet")". When I try to edit the "Admin" user I get a full mask. This takes some time > 30 sec. In the mask the message "rss: Error processing http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/BlogRss?xpage=rdf: Connection reset" is displayed. Also I get an exception on the console: 2009-04-06 13:21:26,656 [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/inline/XWiki/Admin?xpage=edituser] [18961126@qtp0-1] WARN filter.MacroFilter - MacroFilter: unable to format macro: rss java.io.IOException: Error processing http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/BlogRss?xpage=rdf: Connection reset at com.xpn.xwiki.render.macro.rss.RSSMacro.execute(RSSMacro.java:101) at com.xpn.xwiki.render.filter.MacroFilter.handleMatch(MacroFilter.java:90) at org.radeox.filter.regex.RegexTokenFilter$1.handleMatch(RegexTokenFilter. java:91) at org.radeox.regex.JdkMatcher.substitute(JdkMatcher.java:48) at org.radeox.filter.regex.RegexTokenFilter.filter(RegexTokenFilter.java:89 ) at org.radeox.filter.FilterPipe.filter(FilterPipe.java:169) at com.xpn.xwiki.render.XWikiRadeoxRenderEngine.render(XWikiRadeoxRenderEng ine.java:96) Jens

Hi, Some days ago, I put a ticket about pb managing the users by Admin. This ticket is closed : the MySQL connector on my platform was not at the right version for DBMS. My ticket did not describe yours, but ... Hope this help. |---------+-------------------------------> | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Manfred | | | <manonintex(a)gmail.co| | | m> | | | Envoyé par : | | | users-bounces(a)xwiki.| | | org | | | | | | | | | 07/04/2009 21:18 | | | Veuillez répondre à | | | XWiki Users | | | | |---------+-------------------------------> >-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Pour : users(a)xwiki.org | | cc : | | Objet : Re: [xwiki-users] XEM1.8 cannot add new users/groups via Admin | >-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Hi, Have setup XEM 1.8 on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, using MySQL, Jetty container and Sun Java 5.5 All seems to be relatively well as far as I can tell, can create pages, new wikis, import applications, do a calendar, blog, etc However I cannot add users or groups in the admin panel - I can only login as the default Admin user. On the page http://localhost:8380/xwiki/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=globala… when I enter a new group name - e..g Administrators and click on the create new group button I get a "loading" message what appears to be some sort of script $xwiki.jsfx.use("js/scriptaculous/scriptaculous.js") and then nothing - can wait for hours but no usergroup is ever created. I have the same issue with creating a new user. Then if I go to the "index" quicklink I get the same "loading" message but nothing ever loads.

Re: [xwiki-users] Can't get XEM application xar imported in XEM 1.6

Hi Sergiu, > > The setup I have is; > > 1. Main wiki Domain names: 'localhost', 'main.mydomain.local', 'main' > > 2. Template Domain names: 'templatexe.template.local' > > 3. Project management wiki: 'projects.mydomain.local' > Can you try to add an alias with only "main" for the main wiki? The > domain name is expected to match exactly the requested URL, > but you're > asking for "main", while the configuration indicates > "main.mydomain.local". Done, and it works. So; main/xwiki - works main.mydomain.local/xwiki - works projects/xwiki - works projects.mydomain.local/xwiki - works I guess the only question I have is why there is only one alias for projects (projects.mydomain.local) and both the FQDN and the short version work. For the main however only an exact match of alias' work. Is this a bug? Only an annoyance really though, it just threw me off that it worked for a sub-wiki but not for the main one.

Re: [xwiki-users] Can't get XEM application xar imported in XEM 1.6

Thanks a lot Tomas, this has cleared things up a lot. First let me congratulate you and the team/community for an excellent product, I am looking forward to using it in our company and once I understand things I hope I can provide some useful contributions. I have got my mini-farm working now, except I still can only select the main admin wiki using the IP address. It is running inside a private network, I have added entries in the DNS to point to the server IP address and these resolve correctly when I ping them, or nslookup. Entries are (A) main.mydomain.local -> 192.168.x.x (CNAME) projects.mydomain.local -> main.mydomain.local The setup I have is; 1. Main wiki Domain names: 'localhost', 'main.mydomain.local' 2. Template Domain names: 'templatexe.template.local' 3. Project management wiki: 'projects.mydomain.local' When I hit http://projects/xwiki I get the projects wiki, excellent! When I hit http:/main/xwiki I get the redirect The only way to get to main is http://192.168.x.x/xwiki at the moment this is OK I guess but I would like to understand why this happens as it might point to something else wrong. Also since the installation the main wiki has links for 'Calendar' and 'Photo Albums' but these have a '?' and the pages don't exist. Is this normal, or does it point to something else wrong? Any ideas?
