[xwiki-users] Newbie questions - on-line training
by Chris Haynes 24 Apr '10

24 Apr '10

Hello all, I'm a newbie to XWiki, but have used and developed plugins for another Java-based wiki. I've got a few days in which to find out what I'm letting myself in for if I switch from that other Wiki to XWiki. I've spend a couple of hours reading the web site documentation, but can't find out if / how certain features I need are supported. I'd be ever so grateful if someone who knows their way round XWiki could just give me a quick indication of how much is going to be involved to provide the following features. Just a quick 'OOB' (out of the box), 'AP' (available plugin), 'DN' (development by me needed) or similar against each feature I need would be really helpful. The application is an on-line training programme for a closed charitable community. The overall training material is structured into modules. Students have modules 'unlocked' for them on an individual basis as they proceed. Each module contains a number of chapters, each chapter will be structured into sections for readability - a section corresponding to a Wiki page. Now for the unusual (?) features I need: - Single login shared with an associated Database programme (a servlet), using JAAS. (Preference is to run database and Wiki on a single Jetty instance, as I have 6 years Jetty experience). - That shared login also supplies user's group membership (student, editor, admin, etc) - Info obtained from database indicating which module(s) the student is permitted to view (could be done by multiple-group membership), - Security permissions for individual pages inferred by inheriting permissions from the module containing that page, - Inter-page references only shown if user is permitted to read those pages OR (preferably) alternate paragraph-sized blocks of Wiki text are displayed depending on whether an embedded link may be followed i.e. IF page_X_can_be_viewed THEN show_text_A ELSE show_text_B. - Output to database programme (by API or HTML call) or to machine-readable log, on time/date each page viewed by each student, so that student-specific log may be compiled, - 'Print Chapter' command - produces single printable document containing all the sections (Wiki Pages) comprising that chapter, - The above 'Print Chapter' command to omit any embedded 'eye-candy' images from that printed chapter (by use of CSS @media ?) - 'Help me on this topic' button. Sends private email help request to tutor with hot-link annotation showing the tutor where the student was when help was requested. Must at least identify location by Section (Wiki Page), preferably identify by paragraph in section. Preferable: simple, automatic next page / previous page buttons working through - Quality feedback form at end of each chapter, form data sent to database (see linkage options above). Import of pre-written, formatted documents: I've found the XWiki method which uses an Open Office instance running on the server, but I'm not sure if the virtual server we can afford has enough RAM to cope with this. Is there any other way of uploading pre-formatted documents, or of doing the format conversion before upload. I think we only need simple formatting such as headings, bold, italic text. No tables. Some chapters have already been written in M$ Word (can't be helped :-( Many TIA, Chris

[xwiki-users] Export HTML - Remove Menus at top of page
by RobZ 24 Apr '10

24 Apr '10

I am exporting my XWiki site into static HTML pages for "offline" viewing. This is working pretty well, but would like to remove the menus (Export, Actions, Watch, <user>, Log Out) from the top of each page in the HTML files. I have been playing with view.vm in \skins\colibri of the Zip file, to try and figure out what is controlling that content, but have not stumbled upon any way to disable it. Any help with this would be appreciated.

[xwiki-users] Export HTML creates files that show "double" content
by RobZ 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

When using the HTML Export feature to output static HTML pages for an entire space, each HTML file contains that main content of each wiki page twice. Interestingly enough the HTML page does not contain the Comment /Attachments/History/Information box that appears at the bottom of each page, but instead replicates all of the info from the main page. I am trying to create a local (offline) copy of my wiki using HTML and this doubling is really causing me a problem. Possibly related to this, the static HTML page is generating this error in my browser: http://n2.nabble.com/forum/FileDownload.jtp?type=n&id=4946996&name=Error.png The doubling occurs both in IE 7.0 and Chrome 4.1. Any help with how to resolve this would be appreciated.

[xwiki-users] Duplicates URL
by Lunita 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

HI, I have this issue with the installation of xwiki 2.4. I 've tried with previous versions, but the result it's the same; the URL is duplicated: http://$server/xwiki-enterprise-web-2.4-20100422.100532-35http:// $server/xwiki-enterprise-web-2.4-20100422.100532-35/bin/login/XWiki/XWikiLogin?srid=Inpt8Uqd If I delete the first part (http://$server/xwiki-enterprise-web-2.4-20100422.100532-35) the connection is OK, but for further movements into de wiki, it turns duplicate URL again and shows this tomcat message: HTTP 404 - /xwiki-enterprise-web-2.4-20100422.100532-35http:// $server/xwiki-enterprise-web-2.4-20100422.100532-35/bin/login/XWiki/XWikiLogin I have revised hibernate.xml, xwiki.xml and web.xml. Also, if I replace the conf. files with the 2.2 version conf, files, the error persists although the version 2.2 is running OK. There's no error on Tomcat Logs, only database sentences. Thanks in advance.

[xwiki-users] Xword 2003
by Daniel Johansson 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

Hi, I found a snapshot of Xword2003. It installs with no errors but nothing shows up in Word 2003. I noticed that Word 2003 add-in is not on the roadmap anymore. Are there still plans to add support for Word 2003?

[xwiki-users] Problems with XAR Import into a new wiki on version
by Florian Rhomberg 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

Hi! I want to install a new xwiki using tomcat and MSSQL. I already successfully installed this combination with an older version of xwiki. But however when I try to import the XAR File into XWiki I always get the following error in german: Importiere xwiki-enterprise-wiki-2.2.5.xar: Fehler während der Vorbereitung des Imports Translated into English this would mean about: There has been an error during the preparation of the import. What is the reason for that, is it possible that the XAR file on the xwiki website may be corrupted? Or is this a MSSQL problem. Please help me! Thanks, Florian

[xwiki-users] The "spacecontent" macro is not in the list of registered macros
by Florian Rhomberg 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

Hi! Ifor some time I have written a macro which dsiplays the content of a space in a list. I wrote it as velocity macro. The makro works fine but in the meantime I realized that if a user is not logged on instead of the content of a space the following error is written: The "spacecontent" macro is not in the list of registered macros If the user is logged on everything is fine. What do I have to change that the macro also works if the user is not logged on. The macro is stored under this path: TechWiki<http://wiki.nettania.at/xwiki/bin/view/Main/> > XWiki Space > SpaceContent. I do not use a wiki farm only a single wiki installation. Therefore this link does not help me: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WikiMacroTutorial#HPrereq… What am I doing wrong, I already changed that the unregistered user can read the page. And I also removed the XWiki Space from the hidden Spaces in xwiki.vars. This did not helped me. Thanks, Florian

[xwiki-users] Clear the value of xwiki properties used on a form
by Abel Solórzano Astorga 22 Apr '10

22 Apr '10

Hi, I have an XWiki object with properties. I am using the object in a html form to apply XWiki style validation as described in * http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Creating%20a%20form%20wit… *. I am setting some properties (* com.xpn.xwiki.objects.classes.StaticListClass) dynamically. Like this:* * * * valdoc.getxWikiClass().get(propertyName).getPropertyClass().setValues(value) * *valdoc.save()* * My problem is that the properties of the object preserve its value between accesses to the page that contains the form. So when I go to the page that contains the form the first time everything is ok, but on subsequent accesses to the page some properties already have a value. I tried to clear the value of the properties using:* * * * valdoc.getxWikiClass().get(propertyName).getPropertyClass().setValues("") valdoc.save() * * * *But strangely that leaves the last selected values.* * * *I though that I could change the selected value of the staticList property. But I couldn't find out how to do that.* * * *I have two questions:* * * *1. How can I clear the value of those properties?* *2. How can I set the selected value(s) of a List property?* * * *Abel* * * * *

Xwiki allows to redirect from one xwiki page to other using $response.sendRedirect("http://new_url") code. Though response header status ir 302 (found, i.e. moved temporarily), but I need 301 (moved permanently). Is it way to set this status for response? Valdis
