08 Apr '11

Hello, I am Khyati gupta third year Btech student from delhi,india. i am intersted in developing the project Improved Color Theme Wizard this project requires to edit the current theme editor using CSS and Javascript.Previously I have done projects using CSS so it would be easier for me to develop this project. We can add various features that are relevant for users such as -Option to change the theme according to the users choice.Theme may have different colors and features that could be selected by users. -Also the new feature could be to change the icons and logo.Different inbuilt options of logo are provided to the users. -The new wizard would be more interactive and easy to customize. -Description of each theme along with the demo picture is provided to the users so that user can select the theme more accurately. i would come up with some more additional features and ideas and try to post them later on.

Hello, I am Ankur gupta 3rd year student from Delhi,India...I m from computer science field and interested to apply for AJAX Form Editor project.. I have HTML, PHP , JavaScript, jQuery,CSS ,AJAX , C/C++ and JAVA background.I have developed a multiuser facebook look alike chat application and done various projects related to web development. I have gone through the xwiki form features.. I think in this project that we can provide users various form types for examples textfield,checkbox etc and some new ones such as suggests box ,date picker,live table..and give users a chance to set various features of every form type.Users can also set the theme of the form and set the default value for a type and mark the field as the required one..and we can also provide users a side by side view of the actual form.. Users can set the validations of the form type and set the validation messages which would appear on wrong entry and they can change the size of the fields..They can also make customizable forms according to their requirements in which we will provide various elements that users can use. Thanks, Ankur Gupta -- Ankur Gupta 3rd year Computer Science Delhi Technological University -- Ankur Gupta 3rd year Delhi Technological University

[xwiki-users] stopping a page for non-editors
by China Sunrise 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

Hi, I'm relatively new to xwiki. I have a few pages where dynamic tables had to be shown, and I'm using PHP quite heavily there. In a couple of pages, the content is supposed to be shown only if the user is in a specific group called 'XWikiEditorsGroup'. I didn't want to rely on xwiki's native single-page permissions as they looked a little cumbersome for what I needed, and preferred to control access via the page code itself. Up to xwiki 2.7, the following velocity section, which was the first section in the page, did the trick: {{velocity}} #set($user=$xwiki.getUser()) #if(!$user.isUserInGroup("XWiki.XWikiEditorsGroup")) {{warning}}You don't have permission to view this document{{/warning}} #stop #end {{/velocity}} However, after upgrading to xwiki 3.0, this code no longer works. From what I see, the issue appears to be related to velocity 1.7 and its different syntax for the #stop directive. I can't seem to find the right syntax though. As an alternative approach, I've also tried to relocate this access control logic into the PHP code that follows the above velocity section. To do that, I need to find a way to get the true/false value of "$user.isUserInGroup("XWiki.XWikiEditorsGroup")" in PHP, but so far haven't found a way to do that either and not sure how to pass the $user object and its isUserInGroup() method to the PHP part. I've even looked into doing this in groovy but no luck there either. Any advice will be appreciated... Thanks

[xwiki-users] Set a Maintenance Start Page
by Ramon Gomes Brandão - SERINT 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

Hi All, Sorry, this might be a silly question, but let's go: How can I set a temporary start page on XE, or redirect all requests to a specific page in running time? My need: during the migration from 2.4.3 to 3.0 I'm planning to do in the next few days, I would like that all users (except the admin) that try to access the wiki (the login page or whichever other one) be faced with a "The system is being updated and will be available at <ETA> bla bla bla". Our production server doesn't use apache, but direct on JBoss. Until users view the maintenance page, I'm working behind the scenes performing the imports and skin preparation etc. Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Ramon Gomes Brandão

I am trying to set up XWiki Enterprise Manager on WebLogic 9.2 with an Oracle database. After deploying the application, and accessing it, I get the following error. The page still renders somewhat, but am unable to create wikis or do anything. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

[xwiki-users] copy/rename page problem
by Marcus Kretzschmar 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

Hello, is there any way to copy a page (within one wiki) without the source-space-link? Example: If you copy or rename a page "sourcespace:page" to "destspace:page2" and then go to destspace:page2 you will see a "sourcespace:page2" link. It should be "destspace:page2"! If you navigate an click on "sourcespace" you will switch to sourcespace. (if you don´t have access to sourcespace you will get an error) We want to build up a wiki where a user has no write access to common spaces and has no access to other users. The user inserts pages in his own space. A moderator should move the user-page to a common page if the page is ok. This behaviour I described with the copy/rename makes problems ;-) Any suggestions?

[xwiki-users] Hide (don't show) some macros in WYSIWYG insert macro menu
by Ramon Gomes Brandão - SERINT 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

Hi XWiki Team, I would like to hide some macros from the user, in the list presented on the WYSIWYG editor menu "Insert Macro". How can I do that? The matter is only hiding some of them from the user, to prevent him/her to select it to use on the page creation. Some of them are not familiar to my users, and I would like to "disable" the possibility of use. How can I do that? And also, is it possible to show those hidden ones only to the admin or the admin group, or a specific group? I'm using XE 3.0 Regards, Ramon Gomes Brandão

[xwiki-users] FW: [myxwiki] new wiki request
by Alex Sassmannshausen 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

Hello, I never received any response regarding my request for a community wiki. Are these still being set up? Is this list the right place to send these requests to? Best wishes, Alex Sassmannshausen Enquiry Officer SLD -----Original Message----- From: users-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alex Sassmannshausen Sent: 25 March 2011 17:24 To: 'users(a)xwiki.org' Subject: [xwiki-users] [myxwiki] new wiki request Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to request a wiki for our project. I'm writing as an enquiry officer with Suffolk Libraries. We are currently researching the feasability of maintaining staff handbooks and library procedures in the form of a wiki. This would allow us to instantly share the handbook with all who need it. It would also facilitate internal and public discussion of the way we run our libraries and what are the best ways to deal with issues as they come up. We also feel there is scope for fostering co-operation between public libraries in general through this project - again by facilitating debate and the sharing of technical know-how. We are attracted to xwiki because of its LGPL license and would be very interested in running our wiki on your servers for the duration of this pilot. My username is AlexSassmannshausen. The server name we are hoping for is either sls.myxwiki.org or suffolklibs.myxwiki.org (depending on whether the first is already taken). Please let me know if you have any further questions or requirements prior to creating the wiki for us.
