[xwiki-users] [Info] LightBox Macro v1.3
by afra 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

Hello @all, after Importing the LightBox addon I noticed that it wasn't visible for other users. This was due to the reduced visibility of the MacroClass Object to 'Only User'. It would be nice for others if the author would change this to an appropiate value, so that others won't have the same problem as me.

[xwiki-users] Suggestion in Meta-G (Jump to any page) is allways empty for normal users of a wiki farm
by Maxime Mathieu 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

Hi, When using the *Meta+G* popup search in a wiki instance of the farm, after typing something to search for, the dropdown appears saying always "Document not found". If we repeat the same operation with the admin user of the farm, all works fine and the suggested list contains up to 10 pages. Using Firebug, I discovered that all is right except that the Rest search service returns an empty list of page. This is the exact JSON received : {"template":" http://server.com/xwiki/rest/wikis/calife/search?q={keywords}(&scope={conte… ","searchResults":[]} My xwiki farm version is 2.3.2. Does someone encounter the same problem ? Do I have to create an issue in JIRA ? Thank for your response, Maxime Mathieu

[xwiki-users] [Vote] Resize images on the server side to reduce page loading time
by Marius Dumitru Florea 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Hi devs, Currently the image plugin [1] allows us to create image thumbnails by specifying the image width and/or height in the query string of the image attachment download URL: /xwiki/bin/download/Spage/Page/image.jpg?width=100 I propose that we: (A) Use the image width and/or height (when they are specified in the image syntax using pixel unit) to resize the image on the server side. For instance: [[image:logo.jpg||width="100px"]] will be linked to /xwiki/bin/download/Spage/Page/logo.jpg?width=100 and [[image:logo.jpg||style="height: 50px; width: 70px"]] will be linked to /xwiki/bin/download/Spage/Page/logo.jpg?width=70&height=50 The image plugin also accepts a quality parameter that controls the compression quality when encoding jpeg images. The default value of this parameter (i.e. when not specified in the URL) is configurable. I propose we use 0.3 by default, 1 representing the best quality. (B) Add the ability to limit the image dimensions (preserving aspect ratio) when the image width and/or height are not specified in the image syntax (or when they are not using pixel unit). The width and height limit will be configurable and -1 by default (i.e. no limitation). For instance: image:logo.jpg will be linked to /xwiki/bin/download/Spage/Page/logo.jpg?width=1024 when width limit is 1024, and to /xwiki/bin/download/Spage/Page/logo.jpg?width=1024&height=768&keepAspectRatio=true when width limit is 1024 and height limit is 768. Note that in this case the image aspect ratio is preserved. The image is resized to best fit the limits. If the user want to bypass the limit he has to specify the image width/height in the image syntax. I'm +1 for both (A) and (B). WDYT? Thanks, Marius [1] http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/core/trunk/xwiki-core/src/main/…

[xwiki-users] Migrating Xwiki
by Kaya Saman 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Has anyone ever performed a migration that could give me some advice on how it's done and if what I asked about below is possible? I have checked out this: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Backup which suggests to backup the database but doesn't give any clue to Postgresql! Also is Xwiki content stored in a database or in the /webapps/xwiki instance?? So if I simply backed up and restored the database and copied the xwiki/ dir across to a different platform the system should work?? Even if going from Tomcat to Glassfish or so?? Thanks and regards, Kaya -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Migrating Xwiki Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2010 14:16:08 +0300 From: Kaya Saman <kayasaman(a)gmail.com> To: XWiki Users <users(a)xwiki.org> Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to migrate Xwiki from one system to another?? I currently run Xwiki on a FreeBSD 8.0 RELEASE x64 platform with 4GB RAM in a dedicated FreeBSD Jail, however I'm having an issue with Java spinning up the CPU to 100% rendering Xwiki inoperable! If I migrate it would be from FreeBSD to either a dedicated FreeBSD system or an OpenSolaris based system on Nexenta. Currently I run Tomcat6 coupled with Postgresql, but would migrate to Glassfish and MySQL. Is it just a matter of backup the Xwiki from the web GUI then restore under Glassfish and convert database from Postgresql to MySQL then attach at other end? Or can I just simply dump the /webapps/xwiki folder into Glassfish or another instance of Tomcat? Thanks for any advice!! Regards, Kaya
