Re: [xwiki-users] XEM1.8 cannot add new users/groups via Admin
by Manfred 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

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. 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/treeview-min.js") $xwiki.jsfx.use("js/yui/treeview/checknode.js") $xwiki.jsfx.use("js/yui/event/event-min.js") $xwiki.jsfx.use("js/yui/connection/connection-min.js") and no tree. How can I fix this? I'm guessing they're related in some way. Thanks

[xwiki-users] How to navigate user pages as tree structure from main page?
by Manfred 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hi, One aspect thats driving me a little scatty - and I have to date installed XE, XEM and Chronopolys and XW - so far only Chrono seems pretty intuitive for me to drive out the box - is having a way for a user to see the pages they have created in some sort of hierarchy but built into the menu of the page or the quick links section or some such for easy page navigation and knowing where they are in the wiki. e.g. I can see the page "breadcrumbs" allow one to move backwards to a higher level page, but how does one move forward or see that there is a fwd page short of placing a hyperlink to the next page on the current page or expecting users to click on "information" tab of the current page to find its "children" I mean in Dekiwiki this is built into it so was positively elementary so I'm frustrated that I don't seem to be able to do this in Xwiki. What am I missing? I was hoping the "Document index" tree could be used for this by say finding a way to display it as part of the "Quicklinks" or similar dashlet on the dashboard, but the script to do this doesnt appear to work for user pages I'm finding and it appears this issue is regarded as a minor script issue by the developers, and even if it were to work I'm guessing that being a separate page to browse to its not really what I was hoping to see. I can create something like this (I'll use the Xwiki terms (in parentheses) as I understand them for what I'd like to do) and write the page names in UPPERCASE and use some hypothetical names. Using XEM where I have created Wiki: MAIN_HOME (as the first wiki of the farm) I would like to use and navigate something like this ito user page hierarchy: (Wiki) MAIN_HOME (Wiki) -- |--Departments(Space) |-- Planning (Page) | --Planning projects (Page) | -- Efficiency project (Page) | -- Warehouse project (Page) | -- ISO 9000 (Page) | -- Production (Page) | -- Downtime (Page) | -- Utilisation (Page) | -- ISO 14000 (Page) | -- Finance (Page) | Budgets (Page) | Guidelines (Page) | Safety (Space) | Weekly topic (Page) | Safety projects (Page) | Training (Space) | Agenda (Page) etc Can this type of thing be done in Xwiki or do I misunderstand something fundamental in how to use it? I realise the XE product is intended to be basic out the box and must be customised and isnt a universal plug and go solution but I'm wrestling with what I thought should be simple to achieve so I'm wondering. I really like the way Xwiki converts pages to PDF stripping out all the Wiki clutter and the Edit, Show print bar that hide a lot of clutter that other Wikis put and print on the wiki page, but the Xwiki created user page navigation is less than intuitive and if I'm struggling then the most users our side will be completely lost so I need to resolve this aspect first if its possible. Is there a way - a plugin maybe? Thanks Cheers

[xwiki-users] Section Editing for heading3, 4, etc in syntax 1.0
by Cristi 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hello, Is there a way to configure XWiki to allow section editing for Heading 3, 4 and above? I see that it allows by default only heading 1 and 2 to be editing via the section editing mechanism. Perhaps there is a setting somewhere for this? Thanks in advance, Best regards, Cristi. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Section-Editing-for-heading3%2C-4%2C-etc-in-syntax-1.0… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Users and Groups administration
by alain.perry＠snecma.fr 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hi, I report again a trouble which has not received help (well, I'm sure it's a stupid trouble), but, really, I'm stocken with this XWiki behavior : The trouble : if, as Admin in "Administrator wiki", I insert for example 2 users. I don't see them in the right category Users UI. The page tells "Display rows from 1 to 3 out of 3" (which is right) but the users and not displayed. Same beahevior with the Groups UI : "Display rows from 1 to 2 out of 2" (obviously XWikiAdminGroup and XWikiAllGroup), but the groups are not displayed. This is for a deployment of xwiki on Tomcat 5.5 and MySQL DB, because with the standalone deployment (Jetty and HSQLDB), I get the right behavior : groups and users are displayed. I checked my config as far as I can : - in xwiki.cfg, I have the directive xwiki.users.initialGroups=XWiki.XWikiAllGroup - I have imported the right xwiki.xar - my hibernate parameters seem right - my directory "templates" is same as xwiki standalone I made again several times full new deployments (DB, XWiki, parameters) and always the same behavior. Well, thousands of thanks for help # " This e-mail and any attached documents may contain confidential or proprietary information.

Re: [xwiki-users] Can't get XEM application xar imported in XEM 1.6
by Dean Sellers 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Well, I am completely confused. I have exactly the same problem; UBUNTU/JBOSS/XEM1.6 I had a default setup of XE working, deleted it and then did exactly the same things except using XEM 1.6 and allowing all privs on the MYSQL database. If I swap to the deployment of XE, works fine. It doesn't seem to matter how I hit the server with XEM running, IP address, fully qualified name, name with www., name with xwiki. I still get no wiki exists. Something happens, as the empty database gets populated with tables, but that seems to be it. The xwiki.log seems to have a lot of entries relating to lucene errors, but none of that makes sense either. These seem to start with sonething like: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/jboss/jboss-4.2.2.GA/server/xwikisvr/work/jboss.web/localhost/xwik i/lucene/segments_2 (No such file or directory) This file doesn't exist, but the rights to create it if needed do. There is a segments_1 created in this location I have a question? 'add the right hosts to the main wiki's descriptor', what? And how? Would it be possible to explain a little better, I just don't get what you mean, and I have seached xwiki.org and in the group but cannot seem to find anything that makes sense. I just want to load the default .xar and get started creating a couple of wikis.

[xwiki-users] Revision Viewing is throwing marco errors
by twk3 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

I'm using Enterprise 1.8, when trying to view any revision on my document using the rev= parameter, I lose the logo from the skin. (Reproduced: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/viewrev/Main/WebHome?rev=81.2) (No issue here though: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/viewrev/Main/WebHome?rev=7.1) and I get a velocity macro error on pages using velocity when they are using xwiki 2.0 syntax, specifically the include macro. The same does not occur on pages using xwiki 1.0 syntax Can anyone reproduce the last one? And what's why does the dev wiki not have the logo problem? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Revision-Viewing-is-throwing-marco-errors-tp2571038p25… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] XEM MySQL default install script/macro errors
by Manfred 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hi, Did new install of XEM Jetty/Mysql version on Ubuntu 8.04, with Mysql 5.05. Followed install docs and everything seems to install OK and imported the XAR template logged is as Admin the default passwd. Only thing I changed was the Jett port # to 8380. I can create new wikis but in the log file I see the ffg: org.mortbay.thread.QueuedThreadPool$PoolThread.run(QueuedThreadPool.java:522) 2009-04-06 18:28:08,696 [http://127.0.0.1:8380/xwiki/bin/view/WikiManager/CreateNewWiki?wikiname=pro…] [27832@qtp0-4] WARN filter.MacroFilter - MacroFilter: unable to format macro: table java.lang.NullPointerException at com.xpn.xwiki.render.macro.TableBuilder.build(TableBuilder.java:97) at com.xpn.xwiki.render.macro.TableMacro.execute(TableMacro.java:60) 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(XWikiRadeoxRenderEngine.java:96) at com.xpn.xwiki.render.XWikiRadeoxRenderer.render(XWikiRadeoxRenderer.java:130) at com.xpn.xwiki.store.XWikiHibernateStore.saveLinks10(XWikiHibernateStore.java:1885) at com.xpn.xwiki.store.XWikiHibernateStore.saveLinks(XWikiHibernateStore.java:1847) at com.xpn.xwiki.store.XWikiHibernateStore.saveXWikiDoc(XWikiHibernateStore.java:581) at com.xpn.xwiki.store.XWikiCacheStore.saveXWikiDoc(XWikiCacheStore.java:135) at com.xpn.xwiki.store.XWikiCacheStore.saveXWikiDoc(XWikiCacheStore.java:128) This appears every time I create a new wiki. Also in the admin section when I try create myself as a new user and I fill in the username, first name, lastname field and then click on add new user button I get a comment "loading" and a striped moving bar but nothing more happens even if I wait for 60 mins. At the opt of the page under xwiki:webhome>xwikipreference I see what seems like a script error: $xwiki.jsfx.use("js/scriptaculous/scriptaculous.js") I get similar "scripting errors" on various pages - e.g. if I go to menu option Index I see $xwiki.ssfx.use("js/yui/treeview/assets/tree.css and more similar text. Can anyone suggest how I might fix this? Thanks

[xwiki-users] XE1.8 cannot browse tree of user created spaces
by Manfred 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hi, I setup XE 1.8 WAR on Ubuntu 8.1 VM with Tomcat6, Sun Java6, Postgres 8.3 with postgresql-8.3-604.jdbc4.jar It seems to be OK except that when I create a New_Space and then attempt to view the page tree in the e.g. Quicklinks > Document index > Tree and myNewSpace I just get a circular rotating arrows "hourglass" cursor next to the tree and that new space index tree never opens. However, existing default spaces like Main and Blog open into their tree structure. If I look in the Tomcat6 log I see nothing that looks like errors - just stuff like loading plexus context properties, plexus, context initialised. Can anyone suggest a fix? Thanks
