[xwiki-users] Import UserList stored in database to a XWikiUser document
by Bauyrzhan Matyganov 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

Hello dear friends and community I need your help with registering users. The question is: I have a database table wich contains a list of registered users to my website. Now, I want to import this list of users to my XWIKI application. But i dont know how to import it. I can select all user name and put them in an xwiki array or set. and then, i can write a script that will use a for loop to create users taking username from the array and putting a defualt pathword which users can change later. #set($userNames= {"A","B","C",...................................................}) #set($fields = []) ## #foreach($userName in $userNames) ## The first name field, no checking. #set($field = $userNames) #set($discard = $fields.add($field)) etc.... #createUser($fields, $request, $response, $doAfterRegistration) #end will it work? I am not proficient in XWiki and velocity programming, and I ask for your help. Any help will be appriciated.

26 Oct '10

Hello, I develop a macro which display object attached to the current page. Here summary of my code: {{goovy}} def topic = doc.getObject("ActivityReport.TopicClass", Integer.valueOf(xcontext.macro.params.id)) println "|"+doc.displayPrettyName("topic", title)+"|"+topic.get("title") println "|"+doc.displayPrettyName("topic", action)+"|"+topic.get("action") println "|"+doc.displayPrettyName("topic", status)+"|"+topic.get("status") {{/groovy}} In my macro page, I put one instance of my TopicClass for development. That working fine. In an other page I put an other instance and call my macro. It display instance from macro page !!! I suppose that I should not used doc to find current document in macro. But I don't find in http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WikiMacroTutorial how to retrieved current document. I also test xcontext.doc, but it is same as doc. So how can find current document (the document which call my macro)? Regards, Arnaud.

[xwiki-users] [Proposal] about login and document information
by [Ricardo Rodriguez] eBioTIC. 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hi, I would like to share with you three proposals about XE/XEM. I've not a clear idea about the cost in terms of "programming effort", but I would like to know if you consider them suitable. 1. In a XE/XEM default installation I think it would be better to include the username/password fields and the links "Forgot your username or password?"utilities in the headerglobal area. That way, users will not be redirected to a different page and can easily see changes in their current one (the one from where they are logging) once they are authenticated. 2. On log out, if the user has not access to his/her current page, it will be informed with a message. Currently you "only" get redirected to the log in page. Users with concerns about who access contents they have created or are responsible of, will be happier with this information message. 3. To show in the Information tab or in an /ad hoc/ tab adding some administrative capabilities (granting/revoking access rights, for instance) what users/groups have what rights on the current document. All these three proposals/ideas are mostly oriented to the use of XWiki based information systems developed for groups with requirements about access control and access monitoring. Nothing weird in industrial environments, nor in biomedical ones. Thanks for your opinions! Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez CTO eBioTIC. Life Sciences, Data Modeling and Information Management Systems

[xwiki-users] Help: How to import a signed ca into Jetty?
by Luigi Occhino 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hi there, The problem I'm having is importing a signed ca (from goDaddy). I believe I'm importing it correctly however after I've imported it along with adding the crt files to the keystore, what happens is when I go to connect to the webserver there's a certificate error indicating the certificate being used is self-signed when it should be signed by goDaddy??? I've spent many hours researching this issue on the net and have not been successful. Someone suggested for me to try this mail list - it's my last resort. Please if someone can help me, it would be very much appreciate. Luigi -- This message has been verified by LastSpam (http://www.lastspam.com) eMail security service. http://www.lastspam.com

[xwiki-users] Farm upgrade
by Maxime Mathieu 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hi, I'm trying to upgrade my farm from 2.3.2 to 2.4.3. If I follow the upgrade guide http://manager.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Migration , the 2 steps are : 1/ upgrade the main wiki (XEM war and XEM xar) 2/ upgrade each sub-wikis My question is about this last third step. To do the upgrade, I have downloaded the standard XE xar (xwiki-enterprise-wiki-2.4.3.xar). But there is also a xar attached in the XemManager.install page (template-xe.xar). These 2 xar are the same. I hope you confirm this. When I import this XAR in a sub-wiki, the author of the upgraded pages is XWiki.Admin (the local admin of the sub-wiki). But this local Admin doesn't have programming rights. It so happens that a lot of pages (AllDocs, DeletedDocuments, ...) can't execute. The workaround is to save these pages as xwiki:XWiki.Admin but it's boring. Is there something that I've missed ? Why the template-xe.xar does not have xwiki:XWiki.Admin as author of the pages ? Best regards, Maxime Mathieu

[xwiki-users] cookies' behaviour
by [Ricardo Rodriguez] eBioTIC. 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hi, Working in a XE/XEM 2.4 installation and login with a global user in a virtual wiki, cookies don't remember the status of the panels. When I use the same account in the controller, it works fine. For instance, this cookie fails to store/retrieve the state of MREC panel. Each time I refresh, I get an expanded panel: xwiki:XWiki.RicardoRodriguezFernandez_Panels.MREC The same user in the controller works as expected having a cookie named... XWiki.RicardoRodriguezFernandez_Panels.MREC And when working without log in, it works as expected as well. In this case, the cookie is... XWiki.XWikiGuest_Panels.MREC Could this something to do with the name of the cookies being set as "${xcontext.user}_${panel}" when the user is a global one? Any idea will be welcome!
