[xwiki-users] XWiki applied as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2011

by Sergiu Dumitriu

Hi XWiki devs and users, FYI, XWiki applied as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2011 (http://socghop.appspot.com/). We have participated in 2005-2009, but we were not on the accepted organization list last year. We have prepared and submitted yesterday an application for this year's GSoC, and we'll be receiving a verdict from Google on March 18th (according to the timeline http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2010/faqs#… ). Here is the list of possible student projects we've come up with so far: http://gsoc.xwiki.org . We're open to new project proposals, and we'll inform the community as soon as we get an answer from Google regarding XWiki's acceptance in this year's Summer of Code. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

[xwiki-users] PDF Export Problems (2.7.1)

by H.-Dirk Schmitt

Hi! I just migrated to 2.7.1 with the goal of a functional pdf export. Using this (public) url: https://www.computer42.org/xwiki/bin/export/DevNotes/WebHome?format=pdf&inc… I'm getting this error: Error number 11015 in 11: Exception while exporting Wrapped Exception: Error number 12002 in 12: Exception while exporting PDF Wrapped Exception: org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException: "fo:list-block" is missing child elements. Required content model: marker* (list-item)+ (See position 5894:90) com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 11015 in 11: Exception while exporting ... On another (non public) space the export seems to be functional, but some childs pages are missing. Are this known bugs ?

[xwiki-users] Off-topic: Xwiki and VMs

by Andreas Hahn

Hi Johannes, everyone, actually this is sort of repsonse to Johannes @jstoldt contribution here http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Back-to-the-future-of-XWiki-tt6084764.html regarding VM's and it is off-topic in either dev and user. Johannes, why not drill deeper into this VM stuff ? If you have spare time leftover and want to contribute - why not be the first one to create an Amazon EC2 xwiki image ? For newbies there are free Amazon EC2 accounts: http://aws.amazon.com/de/free/ When creating a VM I'd check for an Ubuntu Ready-to-go image - there are several hanging around. Check the Ubuntu website for a recommendation. Of course Linux background is beneficial - might be mandatory. However with Ubuntu many installations are pretty straight forward and well documented - installation of database (postgres ?) - webserver (tomcat ?) and an XWiki .war should be straightforward. When you're are done and all is running fine you can make a template of it for others to use. I'd be interested in a report. I'd love to do it but I'm lacking time now ... As here is no real forum for this we might continue correspondence in another place. WDYT ? Andreas

[xwiki-users] Users can't upload Images?

by Travis Riggs

I've been the administrator of my team's Xwiki for several years now. I recently upgraded to Xwiki Enterprise 2.7.1.34853 from Xwiki Enterprise 2.4. Everything seems to work great for me, but my team members can't upload images to pages and they are occasionally seeing their page text content disappear when they go back and forth between "WYSIWYG" and "Source" while editing. In the WYSIWYG editor, they click on "Image" -> "Insert Image...", but instead of seeing the message: "Select an image to insert from the list below, by clicking it, and then advance to the next step, or double click an item to automatically select it and advance to the next step." along with the thumbnails or the box to upload a new image, they see a red circle with an "!" and message saying "There was an error loading the data" We are all using Firefox, but I'm running Ubuntu Lucid and they are running Windows. The server is also running Ubuntu Lucid. I'm using MySQL as the database. Strangely, they didn't see any problems with Internet Explorer (i think ver 8) During this upgrade, I went straight from 2.4 to 2.7. I didn't see anything that indicated I needed upgrade incrementally. I also noticed that I should be using InnoDB tables instead of MyISAM. I used "ALTER TABLE.." commands to change the db tables to InnoDB by hand. When I installed the WAR and modified the xwiki.cfg, I made sure the migration flag was set to true. The other change that I made was that I enabled our authentication to use LDAP, but my users weren't having problems with their LDAP accounts. They were using their old standard xwiki user accounts they had created several years ago. When they did login with their LDAP accounts, they experienced the same problems. I originally thought this could have something to do with User rights, but I created a test user with the same privileges as my users and it worked just fine. The good news is that it appears that we found a workaround with Internet Explorer, but has anyone ever heard of this problem? Or know how to fix it in Firefox? The other good news is that I have nightly backups of my database and I also have the older installation of xwiki backed up. So, I could always roll things back if need be, but I would hate to do that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, travis riggs

by Alex Jakobsen

Hi, I'm having some problems with the Email notification for Watchlists. When I go into my preferences and select a notifier for my watched lists (hourly notifcations for example) and click save & view, the selection doesn't stick. It shows a blank under Notifier in my Watchlist preferences. I'm on XWiki Enterprise 2.7.33656 Any ideas? Thanks, Alex Jakobsen

[xwiki-users] Dynamically set rights over document

by Lukapt

Hi, I'm trying to set rights over a document automatically. In my wiki i have the "Publication" concept. Each Publication has one or more authors. Each author is an "Researcher" that is directly related to an XWikiUser. What I want to do is to set editing rights only for the authors of that publication. If I add (or remove) an author he should be able (not able) to edit the document. What i thought first was to check and add user rights every time the document was loaded. However this didn't worked because, initially, users don't have rights to add new rights (lol). That doesn't seemed a good practice anyway. What is the best way to do this? Maybe after every change in editing mode, system may apply the rights? How can I do that? Btw, I'm using this snippet to add the user rights: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Setting+Rights Thanks in advance, Luís Braga -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Dynamically-set-rights-over-document-tp60… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Problem to create a new Blog

by Gérard Turmel

Hello I created a new blog in a new space according to explanations in the link http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Blog+Application But the new blog and the wiki blog share the same items. The wiki blog posts are shown in the new blog. And if I create a new article in the new blog, I see it in both blogs. Are there some additional installations or configuration to do? I did not install the WAR xwiki-application-blog.

[xwiki-users] WYSIWYG editor macro support changes

by Marius Dumitru Florea

Hi guys, In order to fix http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-5691 and a few related bugs I had to refactor the way macros are displayed inside the rich text area of the WYSIWYG content editor. Along with this I introduced a few improvements in the way the user interacts with macros. Here's a list of changes: * macros are displayed now 100% like in view mode * macros that have output are emphasized only when hovered or selected * you can navigate the macro output with the arrow keys * you can copy content from the macro output * press Enter to edit macro * press Space to toggle between collapsed and expanded state * Ctrl+Shift+R reloads the macros * Ctrl+Shift+E expands all/selected macros * Ctrl+Shift+C collapses all/selected macros * Ctrl+Shift+M to open the insert macro wizard Known issues that I'd like to fix for 3.0 final: * you can cut text from macro output * you can drag text into/from macro output * placing the caret before/after a macro is still tricky Please take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks, Marius
