[xwiki-users] Excel plugin or $xwiki.calc ?
by Piotr Dziubecki 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Hi all, I did a little search on the importing/processing excel files and I am confused a little bit: First of all, I found Excel plugin: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Excel+Plugin but it's status is obsolete - "The Plugin technology has been replaced by Components" - so is that functionality available out of the box in the latest versions of XWiki ? Moreover, in the comments we can read: $xwiki.ExcelPlugin should be updated to $xwiki.calc as this is the name of the plugin on a newer XE > 2.1.1 There is also another extension: Excel Import Scaffolding and it clearly points to the Excel plugin page. http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Excel+Import+Scaffoldi… Could someone explain what is the proper way of working with excel files currently, I just don't want to tie my code to the obsolete components. Thanks, Piotr

[xwiki-users] [xem] Wiki alias not found exception
by Stéphane Laurière 01 Feb '11

Hi everyone, I'm running XEM based on XE 2.6.33077 with several wikis which behave normally. However, I get plenty of exceptions in the log files such as the one below. I checked what could be wrong with the documents having an attached XWikiServerClass instance but I cannot find anything suspect, and, again, the wikis seem to behave perfectly well. Do you have any idea why I get this exception and how I can stop having it raised? ====== ERROR wikimanager.WikiManagerPluginApi - Wiki [xwiki_edos] alias cant be found com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.wikimanager.WikiManagerException: Error number 50034 in 5: com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.wikimanager.WikiManagerPlugin: Wiki alias [xwiki_edos] document does not exist Wrapped Exception: Error number 2 in 2: xwiki_edos object does not exist [...] com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.applicationmanager.core.doc.objects.classes.XObjectDocumentDoesNotExistException: Error number 2 in 2: xwiki_edos object does not exist at com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.applicationmanager.core.doc.objects.classes.AbstractXClassManager.getXObjectDocument(AbstractXClassManager.java:821) at com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.wikimanager.doc.XWikiServerClass.getXObjectDocument(XWikiServerClass.java:440) ====== Thanks and cheers Stéphane -- Stéphane Laurière Mandriva http://mandriva.com

[xwiki-users] FAQ application - how to add new object automatically
by Piotr Dziubecki 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Dear all, I'm trying to extend a FAQ application from the tutorial on xwiki site. I would like to add some FAQ entries from the external file in an automated or semi-automated way. In the FAQ example there are: question, answer fields for every FAQ entry. Is it possible to add new entries basing on the external data user provided ? like to take a data from a text area in a form like: "question1", "answer1" "question2", "answer2" and then create 2 new FAQ objects ? I've found such a code snippet and fixed it to have: ## Create an object #set($obj = $doc.newObject("FAQ.FAQClass")) $obj.set("question","q1") $obj.set("answer", "a1") ## Save the object in the page $doc.save() Even with that it fails to add new object to the existing list. Any clues how to accomplish that ? Just to recap, I have two questions : 1. Could someone provide a code snippet, or point me to a documentation on creating/adding new objects in the xwiki ( like how to set parentSpace, basic fields in that object and add it to the xwiki database ). 2. Are there any scenarios on importing data in to the XWiki ( would like to inject a lot of FAQ entries at once, tried to do that directly to the database but that failed, I guess I should do that via velocity code ? ). Thanks a lot for any help :) Regards, Piotr

Hi Dumitriu, Thanks for the reply . However,I am deploying xwiki as an exploded webapp only. xwiki.war has been exploded into the directory xwiki.war and kept inside the server/default/deploy/ directory of JBoss.  On Mon, 31 Jan 2011 03:48:26 +0530 Sergiu Dumitriu wrote >On 01/28/2011 11:16 AM, smita srivastava wrote: >> I am trying to deploy xwiki on JBoss 5 using HSQL database.
