[xwiki-users] yay for google chrome and Xwiki
by Niels Mayer 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

Windows users can rejoice -- http://www.google.com/chrome -- Because they work nicely together. Much faster/smoother. Unfortunately, to get it on linux, you have to switch to google's linux<http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10281744-2.html?tag=newsLeadStoriesArea…>. I didn't realize chrome was worth bothering with until I understood all the announcements, which is what got me to switch. (I still use Firefox on Linux (via X protocol) to run "firebug")... I think IE won't be able to So far, the biggest new feature I get, other than blazing fast javascript, is that text boxes (e.g. comment panels, object-editor panels, etc) are resizeable. (If it's in an "accordion" like in the object editor, you have to collapse/reexpand to get the sizing correct if you make the window larger than it's original display.) Niels http://nielsmayer.com

[xwiki-users] where does the actual registration happen?
by Edward Laptop 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

Dear All I have inserted a captcha field into our registration page. It validates correctly. However the user is still registered even if the code is incorrectly entered. I have tried to find the part within the code which actaully does the registering once the fields are correctly filled in. I could then put this in an if statement which depends on $reg and the captcha field. However I can't find it. Please, please, please can someone now just help me finish off. I attach a short version of the code I have. ## declare the plugin #set($captchaPlugin = $xwiki.jcaptcha) ##verify captcha ##call the verifyCaptcha #if($captchaPlugin.verifyCaptcha("edit")) <h2>captcha correct</h2> #else <h2>captcha wrong</h2> #end #if(!$reg||$reg<0 ) <p>Welcome ......</p> #end #if($reg && $reg<=0) #if($reg==-2) #error("$msg.get('core.register.passwordMismatch')") #elseif($reg==-3) #error("$msg.get('core.register.userAlreadyExists')") #elseif($reg==-4) #error("$msg.get('core.register.invalidUsername')") #elseif($reg==-8) #error("$msg.get('core.register.userAlreadyExists')") #else #error("$msg.get('core.register.registerFailed', [$reg])") #end #elseif($reg) #set($xwname = "XWiki.${request.xwikiname}") #info("$msg.get('core.register.successful', [$xwiki.getUserName($xwname), $request.xwikiname])") #end #if(!$reg||$reg<0) <form id="register" action="verifyCaptcha" method="post"> <div> #set($captchaPlugin = $xwiki.jcaptcha) <input type="hidden" name="template" value="XWiki.XWikiUserTemplate" /> <input type="hidden" name="register" value="1"/> #set($class = $xwiki.getClass("XWiki.XWikiUsers")) #set($obj = $class.newObject()) #set($serverobj = $class.newObject()) #set($discard = $doc.use("XWiki.XWikiUsers")) #if($request.register_first_name) $doc.set("first_name", $request.register_first_name) #end #if($request.register_last_name) $doc.set("last_name", $request.register_last_name) #end <dl> ##username <dt>$msg.get("core.register.username")</dt> <dd><input name="xwikiname" type="text" size="20" onfocus=" prepareName(document.forms.register);" /></dd> ##password ##lots of form fields here #if ($captchaPlugin) $captchaPlugin.displayCaptcha("edit","register_captcha") #end <span class="buttonwrapper"><input type="submit" value="$msg.get("core.register.submit")"/></span></div> </form> #end

[xwiki-users] Can't get XWiki to work with Oracle
by Dean G Weber 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

I could use some help on getting an XWiki server working with Oracle. I followed the instructions here: http://platform.xwiki.org/XWiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationOracle The mentioned xwiki-oracle.hbm.xml file I finally found here: http://www.xwiki.org/XWiki/bin/view/FAQ/Isthereasimplewaygettingxwikiworkin… . I placed it in the suggested xwiki/Web-INF/classes sub-directory. But, I could not find a feeds.oracle.hbm.xml file anywhere. (Why would the page mention those XML files yet not provide them?) I made the necessary changes to hibernate.cfg.xml file in WEB-INF. I even placed the ojdbc5.jar (latest rev) in the webaps/WEB-INF/lib directory. I know that the JDBC jar file is correct because I had to put it in the jetty/ext directory to get groovy script on one of our pages to successfully connect to a different Oracle instance and pull data onto the page. (Side note: groovy classes really need to be on their own separate pages due to parsing issues with velocity and groovy. This was a heard learned lesson). So, I made the changes from the above instructions and created an xwiki user on my Oracle 10g express edition DB which I installed on our Red-Hat Linux server. So far things seemed to go well until I tried to pull it all together and fire up the xwiki server and connect to it from the browser. Below is the error I received: HTTP ERROR: 500 Error number 3 in 0: Could not initialize main xwiki context Wrapped Exception: Error number 3001 in 3: Cannot load class com.xpn.xwiki.store.migration.hibernate.XwikiHibernateMigrationManager from param xwiki.store.migration.manager.class Wrapped Exception: Error number 0 in 3: Exception while hibernate execute Wrapped Exception: Could not parse mapping document from resource xwiki.oracle.hbm.xml RequestURI=/xwiki/bin/CEDSYard/ Powered by Jetty:// The request URI is the configured main page for our wiki. I see no new tables in the xe Oracle DB. All of the past emails on the subject in the user list haven't supplied any answers. I really hope I can get some help on this. What do I need to do to get Oracle and xwiki to work together since the instructions I've found miss crucial elements of the puzzle?

[xwiki-users] HTTP Status 500 Error
by Lawry, Joe 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

All, The log-in link on my wiki's main page was broken so I modified its global.vm file in an effort to fix it. After saving my changes and refreshing the wiki, however, I was given an HTTP status 500 error message by my server. I looked into the problem and it appears as though the issue lies with my hibernate.cfg.xml file which is included below: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">  <hibernate-configuration> <session-factory> <property name="show_sql">false</property> <property name="use_outer_join">true</property> <property name="dbcp.defaultAutoCommit">false</property> <property name="dbcp.maxActive">50</property> <property name="dbcp.maxIdle">5</property> <property name="dbcp.maxWait">30000</property> <property name="dbcp.whenExhaustedAction">1</property> <property name="dbcp.ps.whenExhaustedAction">1</property> <property name="dbcp.ps.maxActive">20</property> <property name="dbcp.ps.maxWait">120000</property> <property name="dbcp.ps.maxIdle">20</property>  <property name="connection.url">jdbc:hsqldb:file:database/xwiki_db;shutdown=true</property> <property name="connection.username">sa</property> <property name="connection.password"></property> <property name="connection.driver_class">org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</property> <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect</property> <property name="connection.provider_class">com.xpn.xwiki.store.DBCPConnectionProvider</property> <property name="connection.pool_size">2</property> <property name="statement_cache.size">2</property>  <mapping resource="xwiki.hbm.xml"/> <mapping resource="feeds.hbm.xml"/>      </session-factory> </hibernate-configuration> Although I used MySQL to install the wiki, it ran just fine with the MySQL section commented out. I'll do some additional research but for now any comments or suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Respectfully, Joe Lawry

[xwiki-users] Problem with one machine using WYSIWYG editor
by Ashley Moran 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hi I recently installed XWiki 1.9 for myself. I am freelance and offered to let one of my clients have a space to save another installation. But when she tries to edit a page, it takes ages to load the WYSIWYG editor, then fails and falls back to the plain text mode. She is using Firefox 3.5 on Mac OS X 10.5, but we've also tried Camino, which also uses the Gecko engine, so the issue is not specifically the browser. I can use the editor while on her network (in fact, while connecting _through_ her iMac). The output of Firefox's error console is below. Does anybody have any idea what could be going wrong? Really grateful for any help - lack of a wiki is becoming a serious impediment to work.

[xwiki-users] Unable to use LDAP with Active Directory in XWiki
by Regan Gill 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hi All, This problem has been driving me crazy for several days. I have XWiki running in Tomcat and it works fine, but I am trying to get LDAP authentication implemented and am unable to get past this current issue. I have looked at all the past issues mentioned on this group and searched the internet, but none of the cases seem to be related to mine. I am able to use LDAP with Apache httpd from my machine against our AD Server, but unable to get XWiki (in Tomcat) to do the same. I have tried different versions of XWiki 1.9.2 and 2.0, followed the instructions http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Authentication#HLDAP ConfigurationforActiveDirectory, and am able to bind and find the user uid, but then it fails on the password authentication. This is the problem -- XWiki appears to find the user in the directory then fails on the userPassword attribute: 2009-07-06 16:00:34,812 [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin] [http-8080-1] DEBUG ldap.XWikiLDAPUtils - Searching for the user in LDAP: user:rgill base:dc=AcceptSoftware,dc=local query:(sAMAccountName=rgill) uid:sAMAccountName 2009-07-06 16:00:34,812 [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin] [http-8080-1] DEBUG ldap.XWikiLDAPConnection - LDAP search: baseDN=[dc=AcceptSoftware,dc=local] query=[(sAMAccountName=rgill)] attr=[[sAMAccountName, sn, givenName, displayName, mail, dn]] ldapScope=[2] 2009-07-06 16:00:34,859 [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin] [http-8080-1] DEBUG ldap.XWikiLDAPConnection - - values for attribute "displayName" 2009-07-06 16:00:34,859 [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin] [http-8080-1] DEBUG ldap.XWikiLDAPConnection - |- [Regan Gill] 2009-07-06 16:00:34,859 [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin] [http-8080-1] DEBUG ldap.XWikiLDAPConnection - - values for attribute "givenName" 2009-07-06 16:00:34,859 [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin] [http-8080-1] DEBUG ldap.XWikiLDAPConnection - |- [Regan] 2009-07-06 16:00:34,859 [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin] [http-8080-1] DEBUG ldap.XWikiLDAPConnection - - values for attribute "sn" 2009-07-06 16:00:34,859 [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin] [http-8080-1] DEBUG ldap.XWikiLDAPConnection - |- [Gill] 2009-07-06 16:00:34,859 [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin] [http-8080-1] DEBUG ldap.XWikiLDAPConnection - - values for attribute "mail" 2009-07-06 16:00:34,859 [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin] [http-8080-1] DEBUG ldap.XWikiLDAPConnection - |- [rgill(a)acceptsoftware.com] 2009-07-06 16:00:34,859 [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin] [http-8080-1] DEBUG ldap.XWikiLDAPConnection - - values for attribute "sAMAccountName" 2009-07-06 16:00:34,859 [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin] [http-8080-1] DEBUG ldap.XWikiLDAPConnection - |- [rgill] 2009-07-06 16:00:34,875 [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin] [http-8080-1] DEBUG ldap.XWikiLDAPConnection - LDAP search found attributes: [{name=dn value=CN=Regan Gill,OU=Users,OU=Fremont,OU=ASC,DC=AcceptSoftware,DC=local}, {name=displayName value=Regan Gill}, {name=givenName value=Regan}, {name=sn value=Gill}, {name=mail value=rgill(a)acceptsoftware.com}, {name=sAMAccountName value=rgill}] 2009-07-06 16:00:34,875 [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin] [http-8080-1] DEBUG ldap.XWikiLDAPConnection - Unable to verify password because userPassword attribute not found.

However when I using Apache, it authenticates using the same information: [Mon Jul 06 16:05:56 2009] [debug] mod_authnz_ldap.c(474): [client 127.0.0.1] [4444] auth_ldap authenticate: accepting rgill, referer: In addition we have another application that is also able to bind and authenticate with the same settings and AD Server. Since the user is being found in AD in both cases I would expect the authenticate to work as well in XWiki as in Apache's LDAP module. I am not an LDAP or Active Directory expert but it unless someone can help, I may need to become one to get this to work...

[xwiki-users] Hello - I'm new to XWiki
by MAI QUOC, Phuong-Tram 06 Jul '09

06 Jul '09

Hello, i'm new to XWiki I am more used to MediaWiki, thanks to Wikipedia and i was looking for two features from MediaWiki : - the Category thing : the ability to filter pages by category. Maybe Xwiki does have this functionnality but i have search macro and snippets and FAQs but i can't find how Xwiki named this functionnality. - the Modele thing : I would like to create several pages on a same modele : like zoologic classification record : all pages should use the same template : name, nature, classification, sub classification etc… Is it possible to create a canvas with XWiki (maybe a page) and include the page with parameters so, once opened, the page will have all the fields fill by the parameters ?

Hello there, I was looking forward to have a more specific statistics website on my xwiki. Actually, I would like to monitor which user visited a space, how many times he or she did it. Is there any tool (xwiki or external tool) that allows me to do that? Thanks in advance ! Best Regards
