[xwiki-users] Content type problem when viewing converted PowerPoint presos
by Mathias Herberts 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Hi, I'm using XWiki Enterprise 2.1.1 which is fully configured in UTF-8. I noticed that when creating a page from an Office presentation, the resulting page incorrectly displays the accented characters in the french version of the presentation's navigation bar. The main page has a correct content type with a UTF-8 charset but the Iframe displaying the preso (/xwiki/bin/download/SPACE/PAGE/presentation.zip/output.html) has an incorrect charset of ISO-8859-1 even though the content of output.html is in UTF-8. Is this a known issue? Any way to correct it? Mathias.

[xwiki-users] Content Restriction Question
by Rick Hadsall 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

All, Is there a way to hide content by group within XWiki? For example, if I wanted a panel to show a link that only group "foo" has access to, how could I make it so only users with group "foo" see the link in the panel (because only group "foo" has access to the page/space that the link ponits to)?

[xwiki-users] Single Page Visit/View Count through Groovy Snippet
by Dilipkumar Jadhav 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

Hello folks, I was trying to get the visit count for a single Page through the following Groovy Code in Syntax 2.0: {{groovy}} println "Total No. Of Visits: ${doc.getCurrentMonthPageStats("view").getVisits()}"; {{/groovy}} It looks like it is returning some data for the Page from the start of the month. However, the concern is every time I view the Page, the count increases by +2 rather than +1. The same is saved in the database in xwikistatsdoc as well. Is there a logic that probably I missed out on. My understanding was that the counter should have increased by +1. Also, is the code snippet that I wrote correct to get this kind of data...Any help would as always be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Re: [xwiki-users] REST services access to spaces & tags
by Dilipkumar Jadhav 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

Hello Fabio & friends, Previously I had emailed a possible work around to make sure that XWiki.Guest user does not have access to the list of Spaces in a completely private wiki instance. In the meantime, I was working on a possible resolution to the issue of Tags being publicly accessible to XWiki.Guest in a private wiki. Submitting my code change for your kind consideration: I modified the file TagsResource.java in package org.xwiki.rest.resources.tags. I replaced the method : private List<String> getAllTags() throws QueryException { String query = "select distinct elements(prop.list) from BaseObject as obj, " + "DBStringListProperty as prop where obj.className='XWiki.TagClass' " + "and obj.id=prop.id.id and prop.id.name='tags'"; List<String> tags = queryManager.createQuery(query, Query.HQL).execute(); Collections.sort(tags, String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER); return tags; } With the following code: private List<String> getAllTags() throws QueryException { List<String> tags=null; if(!Utils.getXWikiUser(componentManager).equalsIgnoreCase("XWiki.Guest")){ String query = "select distinct elements(prop.list) from BaseObject as obj, " + "DBStringListProperty as prop where obj.className='XWiki.TagClass' " + "and obj.id=prop.id.id and prop.id.name='tags'"; tags = queryManager.createQuery(query, Query.HQL).execute(); Collections.sort(tags, String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER); } return tags; } } I am unable to throw a "authentication required" in the browser. However, I am able to block the anonymous/Xwiki.Guest user from accessing the list of tags :) Next, I need to investigate if the anomaly exists with Classes, Objects, etc. Thank you folks... ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2010 17:57:02 +0530 From: "Dilipkumar Jadhav" <jadhav.dilipkumar(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] REST services access to spaces & tags To: <users(a)xwiki.org> Message-ID: <4b60313f.5644f10a.7b9c.4011(a)mx.google.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hello friends, I had enquired on the mailing list about the access to Spaces & Tags on a strictly private wiki. I believe I might have a resolution: Possible Resolution: 1. I checked out the XWiki Platform - Core -REST module for XWiki 2.1.1. 2. As per the original issue, the Pages were not accessible but Spaces were accessible in a private wiki even without authentication. Hence, I found the two class files & compared them, viz. a. SpacesResource.java in package org.xwiki.rest.resources.spaces b. PagesResource.java in package org.xwiki.rest.resources.pages 3. In SpacesResource.java replaced the following code: if (Utils.getXWikiApi(componentManager).exists(homeId)) { home = Utils.getXWikiApi(componentManager).getDocument(homeId); } spaces.getSpaces().add( DomainObjectFactory.createSpace(objectFactory, uriInfo.getBaseUri(), wikiName, spaceName, home)); With the following code: if (Utils.getXWikiApi(componentManager).exists(homeId)) { home = Utils.getXWikiApi(componentManager).getDocument(homeId); if (home != null) { spaces.getSpaces().add( DomainObjectFactory.createSpace(objectFactory, uriInfo.getBaseUri(), wikiName, spaceName, home)); 4. Compiled the module jar & deployed it on the XWiki instance. 5. Now, the spaces show up only when the user has been authenticated through the browser. When there is no authentication, all that is displayed is an empty </spaces> tag. So things do look partly the way I wanted them to work. I have following two questions at this point of time: 1. Is this the right way to do it. Did I end up breaking something else that was working? 2. If this is the correct resolution, how could I add a Status.UNAUTHORIZED when there is no authentication? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time & consideration folks. 2.

Description: One of the XWiki 2.1.1 instance is setup in a private wiki mode. Guests are not allowed to register or view any page on this instance. I am also making use of authenticated services (RESTful services & XMLRPC services) for connecting 3rd party applications to this xwiki instance. However, when I access REST URLs for spaces, tags, etc there is no authentication check from XWiki. This data is publicly available. When I access a page URL, I am blocked off for authentication. Couldn't find a JIRA for this one. Could we consider this as an non-consistent behavior in terms of xwiki REST authentication where one resource is blocked while others are not. Has anyone else faced this before or has a work-around to this issue. Thank you for your time & consideration friends. Environment: XWiki : 2.1.1 stable Tomcat: 6.0.20 MySql: 5.0.45 community JDK: 1.5 (Apparently, REST services do not work for me through JDK 1.6. This could be just me facing this issue though J) ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2010 14:44:30 +0100 From: Fabio Mancinelli <fabio.mancinelli(a)xwiki.com> Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] REST services access to spaces & tags To: XWiki Users <users(a)xwiki.org> Message-ID: <82E246C5-ED52-405B-86D0-6B50BBB50DBA(a)xwiki.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii On Jan 27, 2010, at 1:27 PM, Dilipkumar Jadhav wrote: > Hello friends, > I had enquired on the mailing list about the access to Spaces & Tags on a > strictly private wiki. > I believe I might have a resolution: > ... Hi Dilipkumar, thanks for your mail. It seems that there is actually a problem or, at least, an inconsistency. Though, I need some time to investigate the problem and check your solution (thanks for prividing a quick patch!) I'll come back to you as soon as I'm done. Regards, Fabio

Thanks for the prompt answer. It is actually a binary field in .jpg format stored in the field... I guess some custom development has to be done to import the picture and put it in the db, and then reference it...

[xwiki-users] Wiki 2.2 milestone 2
by Aplamon 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

Hi Just updated to latest milestone from 2.04. Overall, it looks nice! A couple of things I noticed: 1. User profile page has a stray {/pre} tag at the end of the page. 2. Our profile pictures are not shown as avatars anymore in places like recent changes in dashboard. 3. When I imported the default pages I wanted the recent change history seemed to get reset?

Re: [xwiki-users] How to put an image as panel background ?
by Dilipkumar Jadhav 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

Hello there, If you would simply like to display an image in your panel background follow these simple steps: 1. Create the Panel from the Panels.WebHome Page (Let's say, the Panel is called "test image") 2. Attach an image/logo of your choice to this Page. (Assume, the image is called "img.jpg") 3. Edit the Panel in "inline" mode. For XWiki syntax 1.0 edit the Panel code so that it looks something like this: #panelheader('test image') {image:img.jpg|document=Panels.test image} #panelfooter() The reason we mention the document attribute is that by default "image:" would look for image files on the Page that you are viewing. By specifying the Document attribute we make sure that no matter what Page you are viewing, the panel will always display the "img.jpg" attached to the Document called "Panels.test image". You can also lookup the Syntax guide to specify other attributes such as default size of the image in the Panel. Hope this helps... >Hello All, >I want just to display my logos in panels background. > >Thanks, ------------------------------

[xwiki-users] Users
by J. Allen Santos 01 Feb '10

Hi, I was playing with XWiki 1.8.1. I was told that users in a wiki is represented as a page with a certain object - XWikiUsers. I copied one user page from one xwiki instance and then saved it to another xwiki instance so as to "register" that user to that instance. The user was "registered" but, it seems that the user doesn't have any rights at all. So, I tried modifying the rights. I registered as Admin then included that user to the XWikiAll group. That solved the problem. Any comments? Any ideas on how to completely "register" a user from one instance to another by copying the user page.. using code?
