[xwiki-users] Corrupted WYSIWYG TextArea Property
by Ashtar Communications 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

Hi, I am having difficulty locating the source of an error where the contents of a TextArea property for a custom class object on a page ends up rendering in a WYSIWYG box as wiki syntax (as in, displaying the actual code in one long paragraph). "Corrupt" is probably not the right word for this, as I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong... Simple explanation: 1) User clicks a button to add a new instance of a class to the page, which also enters the Inline Editing mode. User pastes content into a WYSIWYG editor and saves the page. After save, the TextArea property shows up correctly in view mode with $doc.display(), with headings, formatting, etc... 2) Something happens - I cannot yet reproduce it, but I'm sure the user is doing something. 3) The object starts displaying the property as a single block of text with embedded wiki syntax, mostly what looks like custom parameters containing the formatting info, such as: (% class="MsoNoSpacing" %) (% class="tagChar" style="font-size: 12pt;" %) etc... Even in inline edit mode, the contents of the WYSIWYG box have been replaced with this block of code, which does not appear with the actual formatting - just the raw code. Looking into the page history, there is a version of the page saved right before the property becomes "corrupt." So something must be happening to trigger the conversion of the TextArea content into wiki syntax, which then gets saved over the original data. The pages the user is using have multiple objects of the same class, all displaying their TextArea properties in a table. The majority of the time, it displays perfectly. This only applies to some objects on the page - though sometimes all objects on a page will simultaneously exhibit this behavior. The pages also contain buttons to create a new object, as well as a button to delete each object individually. I have one reliable method of producing this error. I used to have the "delete this object" button display while in Inline Edit mode - clicking it while in that mode would cause to entry to "convert." I suppressed the button from displaying unless in view mode, which removed this cause of the error - but there is still some other mechanism for generating the same behavior. Here's an example of the delete button code which I can use to cause similar behavior: #set($delurl = "/xwiki/wiki/$doc.getWiki()/objectremove/$doc.getSpace()/$doc.getName()?classname=Sandbox.TestClass&classid=$obj.getNumber()&xredirect=$doc.getURL()") <input type="image" onclick="location.href='$delurl'" value="Delete" title="Delete" style="float:right;" src="/xwiki/resources/icons/silk/cross.gif" /> Any ideas on what's happening? Thanks much, aaron

Hi, I'm trying hard to update from XE 3.1M2 to stable 3.2 without success. I get the very same error from http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XE-1037: Wrapped Exception: Error number 3201 in 3: Exception while saving document xwiki:XWiki.XWikiUsers Wrapped Exception: Error number 3211 in 3: Exception while updating archive XWiki.XWikiUsers Wrapped Exception: Error number 0 in 3: Exception while hibernate execute Wrapped Exception: could not load an entity: [com.xpn.xwiki.doc.rcs.XWikiRCSNodeContent#component[docId,version1,version2]{docId=495778886, version2=6, version1=1}] ... ... root cause: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Bad value for type long : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xwikidoc> <web>XWiki</web> <name>XWikiUsers</name> <language></language> <defaultLanguage>en</defaultLanguage>...

[xwiki-users] Executing a page from another page
by jerem 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

Hello, I'm trying to "execute" a page from another page. The "executed" page has some groovy and velocity, does some queries, and as output attaches a computed file to itself (and outputs some success or error message to page content). "Executing" it means just showing the page, as a result the attachment gets increased version. Now I want to do the same but calling it from another page. This is what I did : xwiki.getDocument('Space.MyPageToExecute').getRenderedContent() This returns my success message, but nothing gets attached. Is there any chance that this could work ? I checked the rights of my user (set correct user in context before the setAttachment()) but I could not make it work ... Am I forced to write my page as a groovy class to achieve this ?

[xwiki-users] Adding RSS links to Livetables ?
by jerem 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

Hello, I wonder how it would be possible to add RSS link(s) to the livetable components ? First I though it could be great to use the Tags Rss, but in fact the ideal solution would be to have a link with rss feed with exact same filters (tag, filters) and ordering than the currently configured livetable component (so, maybe re-using the LiveTableResultsMacros but with an rss parameter). I had a look on macros.vm, but it seems most of the work is done by a widget, so it seems difficult to customize ... What do you think about it ?

[xwiki-users] Importing from another wiki
by Jesse Hathaway 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

I am struggling to import content from another wiki. My previous wiki used markdown syntax, I converted the markdown syntax to XHTML via pandoc. The output validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional, but when I try to convert it to xwiki syntax the conversion fails. 1. Does anyone have any ideas why this is failing? 2. Are there better ways to import wiki content? Thanks, Jesse

Hi, It seems there is no RSS feed icon anymore available in tag specific pages, contrarily to what is said here : http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/RssFeeds Is it something that was lost, is there a possibility to generate such a feed on specific tag with a particular url ? xwiki 3.2 Thanks, Jeremie -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/RSS-Feeds-of-tags-tp7007578p7007578.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] list of tags for a document?
by Chris Quenelle 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

In velocity, what is the way to get the list of tags for a given document? I could look at the code which implements my current skin, because it shows tags, but I don't know where that is. I found these pages, but they didn't help: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Tags http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Tag+Application I have a livetable showing documents, and I want to show the tags for the document as a table column. --chris

[xwiki-users] Velocity string challenge
by Gerritjan Koekkoek 17 Nov '11

Hi, I'm converting a XML file into XWiki pages with a structured object, my problem is that the XML file might contain elements with problematic text I have a XSLT that gives me a velocity script (like below) {{velocity}} ##Creating a ATE Question and Answer document programatically #set($ATEPrefix = "CdLSATE") #set($ATEDocName = $ATEPrefix+'TE'+1001) #set($newATEQA = $xwiki.getDocument("CdLSATEPublic.$ATEDocName")) ##Set a title $newATEQA.setTitle("Teeth Exfoliation") ##Set parent of document to Public ATE Questions and Answers $newATEQA.setParent("CdLSATEPublic.CdLSATEPublicQAs") ##This is how you can use a template $newATEQA.setContent('{{include document="CdlsatdCode.CdLSATEPublicQATemplate"/}}') ##Create a new object on the document #set($newATEQAObject = $newATEQA.newObject("CdlsatdCode.CdLSATEPublicQAClass")) ##Set a field to a particular value $newATEQAObject.set("AlphabetSort","TE") $newATEQAObject.set("subject","Teeth Exfoliation") $newATEQAObject.set("question","Is early loss of baby teeth something to be concerned about, indicative of a bigger problem, or related to CdLS?") $newATEQAObject.set("language","en") $newATEQAObject.set("CountryCode","us") $newATEQAObject.set("answer"," It is normal for children, especially girls, to lose their lower two front teeth from 4.5 years old to 5.5 years old. 4.5 years is early, but can be considered normal. There seems to be quite a variety of times when children with CdLS find themselves loosing their primary or baby teeth. Children with CdLS can have their primary teeth fall out either early or, more often, late. If the child is four years old and there are no other underlying medical complications, such as, hypothyroidism, hypophosphatsia, etc., then I would not be too concerned about losing the teeth. If there were many teeth, including molars that are getting loose, then further investigations would be indicated.

[xwiki-users] TOC Macro question
by Ashtar Communications 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

One more tonight... It seems that I am unable to use the built-in TOC macro for wiki content which is generated dynamically from a Class Sheet {{include}}. I assume this is because the TOC macro is rendered before (or simultaneously with) the include macro which actually displays the objects on the page, so as far as the TOC macro knows, there are no wiki headings on the page (yet) to create an outline from. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to parse through the final rendered output of the wiki page to generate a table of contents for dynamically generated wiki content? If I'm missing something with the existing macro, that would be great... What I am looking to do is write some code (preferably in a panel, I think), which creates a TOC-style index of all the wiki-syntax headings contained on the fully rendered page, after the content has been generated from TextArea properties of a set of attached objects to the page. I have written custom display code that loops through every object of a custom class attached to a page and then displays some of that objects properties in a series of collapsible div's. Each object contains two TextArea properties - one for WYSIWYG data, and one for plain text, which would be formatted in wiki syntax. The result is a list of each objects name with an expandable <div> full of the wiki-rendered content contained in the TextArea properties. I would like to generate a TOC which "reads through" that content and comes up with a list of only the relevant headings under each displayed "object" For example, on a page with 3 objects, the custom display code in the Class Sheet results in this (the wiki syntax appears fully rendered, obviously): Object 1 Name - Click to expand ******Hidden until clicked******** ==Heading 2== ===Heading 3=== Normal text, etc... Object 2 Name - Click to expand ******Hidden until clicked******** ==Heading 2== ===Heading 3=== Normal text, etc... Object 3 Name - Click to expand ******Hidden until clicked******** ==Heading 2== ===Heading 3=== Normal text, etc... I would like the TOC to return: Object 1 Heading 2 Heading 3 Object 2 Heading 2 Heading 3 Object 3 Heading 2 Heading 3 Even when all the div's are initially collapsed/hidden. It would be ideal if the TOC was clickable and went to the relevant anchor... I can obviously use getValue() with each TextArea property to return a string with that objects wiki syntax - but I don't have an easy way to parse that string to only return the heading levels... Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks, aaron
