[xwiki-users] Unneded Blog RSS pages
by Valdis Vītoliņš 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

I'm looking at access logs and found that my site through all historical development has 3 blog RSS feeds: Main/BlogRss - not linked from anywhere but created in 2005 Blog/GlobalBlogRss - linked from global site RSS feed (another is WebRSS) Blog/BlogRss - linked from Links panel. Probably two of them could be removed (i.e. set redirect for some time, and remove later), but which one conforms to standard? Valdis

[xwiki-users] Problem: Wait for login page FOREVER (cookies?)
by b_jones10634 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Community, Here is my problem: We've been hosting an instance of XWiki for almost a year now, and things have been going swimmingly, until.... I recently came to do some updates on content, etc..... Previously, everything worked well both from the localhost, and accessing through WWW. However now, no matter where I request the webapp from, it's always taking an infinite amount of time waiting for the login page to load, rending EVERY functionality of the Wiki useless, as no one can login, and nothing can be accessed. I tried accessing using IE8, and FireFox, both with no success. IE simply says it's waiting for the page to load forever, FireFox tries for a few seconds then returns an error as follows: "The page isn't redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. * This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies." Now, I had some difficulty with cookies and XWiki before, so I tried playing around with the cookie settings in both browsers to see if this had any different result. I tried setting BOTH browsers to accept ALL cookies, and the same result is produced, IE waits forever, and FireFox quits and gives me the above message. I'm not sure what is causing this, or why all of a sudden this is happening. Seems to me things were working as recently as last week. I did do a Java update earlier in the day, but I don't think this should have any bearing on XWiki. It's being served by Tomcat, which also houses another webapplication, which can be successfully loaded from both browsers instantaneously. So the problem should not be with the server. Also, I haven't done a Microsoft Update in a while, but I don't think this should have any relevance either. Running: - xwiki-enterprise-web-1.6.1 - apache-tomcat-6.0.16 - XP Pro x64 SP2 @ 2.0GHz, with 2Gb RAM - IE8 & FireFox v3.5.2 Please, community, any help would be greatly appreciated. This is a game-breaker for us here at my company, as no one wants to spend the time to re-create the entire Wiki from scratch if this cannot be resolved. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Problem-Wait-for-login-page-FOREVER-cookies-tp4805163p… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Customizing editcomment at the space level
by GeLo 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Hello, I have enabled the editcomment in my xwiki.cfg file. xwiki.editcomment=1 xwiki.editcomment.mandatory=0 xwiki.editcomment.suggested=1 It works fine, it is a smart feature. Now, I want to disable it for a specific Space of the wiki. In the Admin Guide, I found the following : "You can use the special fields in *XWikiPreferences* object instead of edit *xwiki.cfg*. These fields are: *editcomment*, *editcomment_mandatory*, * editcomment_suggested* and *editcomment_hidden*." Is it possible to apply theses special fields in the WebPreferences of a space ? When I edit the XWiki object, I do not see any editcomment field. Do I have to add it ? Is there any document that describes this ? Thank you for your help. Maxime

by Paul Libbrecht 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Hello xwiki experts, I've been enjoy an xwiki 2.2m2 for a while but the collaborative features are some rudimentary and I've been considering xwiki workspaces. Do I have chance to migrate one to the other by simply uploading the xar? The xws pages don't state a compatibility chart and seem to talk about xwiki 1.7, quite a bit older! thanks in advance paul

[xwiki-users] How can one delete older versions of any given attachment
by Milind Kamble 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

Hi. I couldn't find the user interface to delete older version of any given attachment. This would be useful when the attachment size is substantially large such as a video clip for which typically only the recent version is relevant and not the older ones. At the same time I am not looking for the option that would prevent versioning of attachments across the board, because for attachments such as powerpoint data, we need to be able to retrieve previous versions for analysis. Thanks, Milind

[xwiki-users] Migrating articles out of xwiki
by meacoleman 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

Hi! I need to export all of the content of an xwiki space (about 200 pages + attachments) for migration into another repository. Is there an efficient way that I can do the following: 1. Save all pages with their name in RTF or HTML format 2. Have a fast view of all Attachments to download onto a hard disk What would be the best approach?
