[xwiki-users] Changing the default Space
by Paul Harris 12 Dec '10

12 Dec '10

Hi all, I want to change the primary space name from "Main" to "Public" to make it clear to wiki users who is going to have access to the info in that space. I've tried changing every mention of "Main" to "Public" in the WEB-INF directory, restarting jetty and refreshing the webbrowser, and STILL it redirects to "Main". I've adjusted web.xml, portlet.xml, struts-config.xml, xwiki.cfg is this hard-coded into XWiki? thanks Paul

[xwiki-users] Display current date on page
by Lockie 11 Dec '10

11 Dec '10

Hi all, Is there a date property I can use to automatically display the current date on a page? I would do it in javascript but you can't embed <script> tags in {{html}} so is there a way of doing it in velocity? I can't seem to find any info on this. Thanks, Lockie -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Display-current-date-on-page-tp5681412p56… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] FAQ Tutorial Issue
by mearvk01＠aol.com 11 Dec '10

11 Dec '10

According to this page http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial I should have an XWiki space on the default home page. It says I should be able to search for 'XWikiClasses' and find it in the XWiki space. I see neither the XWiki space under the "Spaces" heading nor do I get anything from the search result. Not sure if that tutorial is referencing some older version of the software or what.

by vluz＠2luz.com 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

I would like to use the wiki to create an online volunteer signup sheet for jobs and commissions for a benefit music festival (www.festivalatitlan.com) I want to display tasks involved for each job/commission, and have a space for my users to sign up and enter their contact information, and to be able to see who else has signed up in that section (though not necessarily the contact info). My username is VioletaForegger, and the server name could be VoluntariosFestivalAtitlan2011(.myxwiki.org) Thanks Violeta Foregger Velasquez -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://link.mail2web.com/mail2web

[xwiki-users] Include Macro failed in a page with annotation
by Le Génie 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

Hi, I use XWiki XEM 2.4.4 and when I add an annotation to a page, the include macro (also present in the same page) displays : "Failed to execute the [include] macro" It seems to be the issue XSKINX-39 but it was fixed a long time ago. Nothing in the xwiki or tomcat log. Is there something to verify ? Thank for your help. Maxime

[xwiki-users] Confusion over XWord versions
by Paul Harris 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

Hi all, I've been looking for a wiki that simple MS Office users can use. XWord is a brilliant idea and my friends jumped into it like ducks into a pond! The familiarity of the MS Word really helped break down the barriers of learning wikis. However, I am totally confused about what version of XWord should be installed. On the one hand, there is this version that I assume is old: http://xoffice.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XWord/ the links point to IP addresses rather than a host name!! then there is two versions here: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download#HXWikiOffice For "XOffice 1.2 M1", the link points to XWord 1.0 For "XOffice 1.1.1", the link points to XWord 1.1 so the "Latest" seems to give me an older version. I believe this is the one that I installed, and we have found problems with uploading images from XWord. We are going to try the other version, but now I'd like to know: where is version 1.2M1 ? Which one should I be using? I checked the RoadMap, it looks a bit out of date. Is there anyone working on XWord? This is a killer feature! I don't see any other wikis with this sort of feature. cheers Paul

[xwiki-users] View rights and Edit rights... and some weird stuff
by Paul Harris 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

Hi again, I wanted to protect my "Website Admin" from any non-admins, So I edited the Rights to that space, and clicked the 'View' button on 'XWikiAllGroup' until it was a red cross. Then I checked in the other webbrowser (logged in as a regular user), and sure enough, I couldn't view the page. However, I then went to this address: http://domain.com/xwiki/edit/Website+Admin/ and the regular user was able to edit the page! which also includes a 'Preview' button, which shows them a View! not good. then it gets weirder, in a different way. So far, as regular user, I've gone to Edit, then clicked Preview, and now I clicked the back button, and I notice the status bar is going to my redirect.com website... I have set up my webserver (lighttpd), so that if anyone tries to go to http://domain.com/ then it'll redirect to http://redirect.com - that way noone can see the site until I am ready to make it live. The site currently lives at http://domain.com/xwiki So for some reason, going to Preview and back again has generated URLs that are missing the xwiki part of the URL. So anyway, I watch the page, and the usual Edit page reappears correctly, but the CONTENT in the Edit window is wrong. I am able to do this over and over again in Chrome, but not in Firefox. If I go to Preview, then clear the Cache, and then hit the back button (on browser, in Chrome), then I get a lot more rubbish in the Edit window: &lt;p&gt;&lt;!<del>startwikilink:false|-|doc|-|Timeline</del>&gt;&lt;span class="wikilink"&gt;&lt;a href="/xwiki/Website+Admin/Timeline"&gt;&lt;span class="wikigeneratedlinkcontent"&gt;Timeline&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!<del>stopwikilink</del>&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br class="spacer"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;!<del>startwikilink:false|-|url|-|<!<del>startwikilink:false|-|url|-|<! startwikilink:false|-|url|-|http://yahoo.com-\><a class="wikimodel-freestanding" href=" http://yahoo.com-">http://yahoo.com- </a><!stopwikilink>\-\</del>><a class="wikimodel-freestanding" href="<! startwikilink:false|-|url|-|http://yahoo.com-\-\><a class="wikimodel-freestanding" href=" http://yahoo.com--"> http://yahoo.com--</a><!stopwikilink>"><!startwikilink:false|-|url|-| http://yahoo.com-\-\><a class="wikimodel-freestanding" href="http://yahoo.com--">http://yahoo.com--</a><! stopwikilink></a><!<del>stopwikilink</del>>&gt;&lt;span class="wikiexternallink"&gt;&lt;a href="<!<del>startwikilink:false|-|url|-|<!startwikilink:false|-|url|-| http://yahoo.com-\-\><a class="wikimodel-freestanding" href="http://yahoo.com--">http://yahoo.com--</a><! stopwikilink>><a class="wikimodel-freestanding" href="<!startwikilink:false|-|url|-| http://yahoo.com--><a class="wikimodel-freestanding" href="http://yahoo.com">http://yahoo.com</a><! stopwikilink>"><! startwikilink:false|-|url|-|http://yahoo.com--><a class="wikimodel-freestanding" href=" http://yahoo.com">http://yahoo.com </a><!stopwikilink></a><!

I am unable to complete the installation using either the Windows .exe or the jar file. I get to the unpacking step and the 'next arrow' doesn't do anything. I am running Windows 7 64-bit. I am running as administrator. In the command window I get: Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.

[xwiki-users] Short URL instructions are incorrect
by Paul Harris 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

Hi, I tried to follow the instructions here: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ShortURLs and the URLs look great, but I couldn't get the skins and logo to work. The problem is this part of the instructions: <servlet> <servlet-name>defaultSkins</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.Default</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>relativeResourceBase</param-name> <param-value>skins</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>defaultSkins</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/skins/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> This is totally wrong for me. I'm using xwiki + Jetty + lighttpd on Debian stable/testing. The correct entry into web.xml is to add: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>default</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/resources/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>default</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/skins/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> in addition to: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> It would also help if someone wrote WHERE to put these things in the web.xml file. I guessed, and it appears to work. thanks, Paul
