[xwiki-users] Configuring SMTP Server in core files
by Marine JULIAN 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hello, Is there a way to configure SMTP Server (for email notifications) in xwiki.cfg or xwiki.properties (or any core files) instead of in the XWiki.XWikiPreferences page ? Indeed, like I use a farm, I'd prefer to set up it once and not in all wikis. I know that I can use wiki template to make it easier but I'd prefer to set up SMTP Server only once and not to use a "trick". Do you know if it's possible ? Thanks, Marine

[xwiki-users] Controlling not only contents but also page titles in class instances
by Ivan Levashew 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hello! My experience with classes in XWiki is obtained after creating a Todo application. The tutorial is published here: http://www.theserverside.com/news/1363830/XWiki-A-Platform-for-Collaborativ… It is obsoleted, but I've got the basics. There is a class fabric at XWiki.XWikiClasses. It is straightforward to create a Class, a Sheet and a Template using this fabric. Sheet is being used to hold control over presentation of increasing number of class instances and Template injects a reference to Sheet in new instances. Everything is fine, but I don't understand how to hold control over page titles. That is, if once in a blue moon I will want to change title format from $doc.getObject('SomeSpace.SomeClass').get('SomeField') to something different, every class instance must be affected (except those ones which have their title edited manually). My naive tries don't work as expected. Is it ever possible? -- If you want to get to the top, you have to start at the bottom

Re: [xwiki-users] How to list the subspace under the space?
by Ponder Muse 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hi, I've used the code snippet included in this thread to display a list of sub-spaces and pages under a space and seems to work very well. However, if Admin has created a page within s space then, normal users will not see the Admin created pages (even though they have access rights to these pages and can browse to them directly). I am guessing that this might be the search documents query within the code snippet not returning results of pages created by Admin? (I am new to all things xwiki/velocity/etc so I am really guessing here!) Is there any way to modify the code snippet to allow normal users to see all children pages of a space for which they supposedly have access rights? Thanks in advance for any help on this. Regards, PM

[xwiki-users] Subdomains as spaces
by Ivan Levashew 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

Does anybody had this idea before? I'd like to establish the mapping as follows: http://something.metrolace.ru/Page -> http://metrolace.ru/bin/view/Something/Page/ http://something.another.metrolace.ru/ -> http://metrolace.ru/bin/view/SomethingAnother/WebHome/ That is, the whole domain is a collaborative wiki with pretty short URLs. New domains are being created on demand because they are essentially good old Spaces. I'm going to use url_rewrite in Squid (in particular, because I don't know why it's so difficult to get rid of /bin/) and custom XWikiURLFactory implementation. Any advices? Did somebody already write custom URLFactory before? -- If you want to get to the top, you have to start at the bottom

[xwiki-users] Error when building new xwiki component
by Marine JULIAN 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

Hello, To understand how the creation of xwiki component works, I followed the tutorial at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingComponents and I previously read the Building XWiki from sources page ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building) My goal is to integrate the HelloWorld component (the tutorial one) in my xwiki instance and to be able to access it in page by velocity. Here is what I did : * install maven 3.0 beta and put the settings.xml files in the .m2 * download the xwiki-archetype-velocity-component-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar<http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/DevGuide/WritingComponents/xwi…>, install it and generate the xwiki component from it * in the pom.xml of the component, I replace the <platform.core.version>1.8-SNAPSHOT</platform.core.version> by <platform.core.version>2.3-SNAPSHOT</platform.core.version> Then, I tried to install the component (with mvn install) in order to create a jar I can put in my WEB-INF/lib directory. But, I had the following error : *[INFO] Scanning for projects...* > *[INFO]* > *[INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------* > *[INFO] Building xwiki-essai-component 1.1-SNAPSHOT* > *[INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------* > *[WARNING] Missing POM for velocity-tools:velocity-tools:jar:1.4* > *[INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------* > *[INFO] BUILD FAILURE* > *[INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------* > *[INFO] Total time: 1.050s* > *[INFO] Finished at: Tue Jul 06 13:25:45 CEST 2010* > *[INFO] Final Memory: 2M/4M* > *[INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------* > *[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project xwiki-essai-component: Missing: > * > *----------* > *1) org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-component:jar:2.3-SNAPSHOT* > * Try downloading the file manually from the project website.* > * Then, install it using the command:* > * mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.xwiki.platform > -DartifactId=xwiki-c* > *ore-component -Dversion=2.3-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file > * > * Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file > there:* > * mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.xwiki.platform > -DartifactId=xwiki-core-component -Dversion=2.3-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar > -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]* > * Path to dependency:* > * 1) com.xpn.xwiki.products:xwiki-essai-component:pom:1.1-SNAPSHOT* > * 2) org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-component:jar:2.3-SNAPSHOT* > *----------* > *1 required artifact is missing.* > *for artifact:* > * com.xpn.xwiki.products:xwiki-essai-component:pom:1.1-SNAPSHOT* > *from the specified remote repositories:* > * xwiki-externals (http://maven.xwiki.org/externals, releases=true, > snapshots=true),* > * xwiki-releases (http://maven.xwiki.org/releases, releases=true, > snapshots=false),* > * xwiki-snapshots (http://maven.xwiki.org/snapshots, releases=false, > snapshots=true),* > * central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2, releases=true, snapshots=false) > * > *-> [Help 1]* > *[ERROR]* > *[ERROR] To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the > -e switch.* > *[ERROR] Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.* > *[ERROR]* > *[ERROR] For more information about the errors and possible solutions, > please read the following articles:* > *[ERROR] [Help 1] > http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/MultipleArtifactsNotFoundE… > * > I'm new in Maven so i don't understand where is the problem. But I dowloaded, as explained, the file missing<http://maven.xwiki.org/snapshots/org/xwiki/platform/xwiki-core-component/2.…>and install it with : *mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.xwiki.platform -DartifactId=xwiki-core-component -Dversion=2.3-20100702.153251-358 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=C:\Users\fnac\Desktop\May\testMVN\pom.xml* This time, the build succeeded but I didn't have any jar file. And, when I tried again "mvn install", I had the same error. I also tried "mvn -nsu clean install" (I read that somewhere) and it was the same. Do I miss something ? Is "mvn install" the good way to have a jar ? (I tried "mvn package" too) Marine

[xwiki-users] Need clarity: programming rights
by Ivan Levashew 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

Hello! I am thinking about the purpose of this extension: http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extensions/ProgrammingRightTestGreasem… > It is easy to forget and save pages with programming permission It is not only easy but also unobvious. I don't understand how to turn on and off programming privilledges on a particular Page. I guess, this is per-page 'programming' right. It can't be set via Rights Management UI but rights can be edited as object. However, I'm not sure. I'd like someone experienced enough to describe and put some references here: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Access%20Rights http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/RightsManagement http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Scripting http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extensions/ProgrammingRightTestGreasem… That's where I was looking for answers. -- If you want to get to the top, you have to start at the bottom

[xwiki-users] colibri menu icons revised
by Ciprian Amaritei 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

Hello. As you probably noticed some of the colibri menu icons recently modified, especially the ones which have white as a base color, doesn`t look nice at all on a white background. That`s why I added a light gray border in order to make them look nice on white bg. Here you can see the result: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Ciprian/Icons You will notice that their aspect is also changed a little, for darker backgrounds but it shouldn`t be that visually disturbing. They are still 16x16 px. If everyone agree I will make a patch with the new version. Thanks. -- Ciprian, Designer XWiki

[xwiki-users] DatePicker Application appears behind Modal Box
by Abel Solórzano Astorga 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hi, I was trying to use the DatePicker Application inside a Modal Box Application. The problem is that the DatePicker pop-up appears behind the modal box. I try to use the zindex property. But it doesn't work. This is the code I am using: afterLoad: function() { var dpicker = new DatePicker({relative : 'fieldName', language : 'us', zindex: '3000'});} Regards, Abel
