[xwiki-users] [investigation] XWiki 5 minutes Experience - Need users' help

by LD

Hi, We are launching an investigations called "XWiki 5 minutes experience" (for those who don't know, an investigation is the work before we actively work on a new development). In this case, the objective is to identify and simplify all the common things that admins and users are doing in their first five minutes of XWiki usage. The first step to this investigation is to identify all the actions they are doing and which issues they struggle with. This is where we need the help of our fellow XWiki users. Please come on this page: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/XWiki5minutesExperienceMostCommo… and help us find out all the common actions (and problems with these actions) that users (actually admins and then normal users) are trying to do the first time they use XWiki. The listing of all actions and problems with be followed by studying the solutions we can implement to fix the situations reported. Some solutions might be very easy to implement and we will push then in the next release cycle, while some others will require more work and will be proposed as new work for the future release cycles. Make you voice heard as this can have a big impact on the XWiki ease of use. Ludovic

[xwiki-users] Font problem (Fonts having more then one word in their names) while exporting page as PDF

by ahmet tuncer

Hi, I have attached exported PDF file (I am not sure that the list permits attachments) I am running my XWiki on my Fedora 14 machine with Tomcat 6.0.32 I have copied some well knowns Windows fonts to both my Fedora's /usr/share/fonts/ directory and WEB-INF/fonts directory. I have realized that some fonts having more than 1 word in their font names (not font file name) not embedded in the exported PDF file. (i.e. "Courier New", "Trebuchet MS", "Comic Sans MS", etc..) Other fonts embedded into the PDF without problems. Any comments

[xwiki-users] User Interface

by Gerritjan Koekkoek

Hi, I'm looking into 'how to modify parts of the userinterface' of XWiki for a specific site/application We would like to achieve this with minimal impact/effort and stick to the colibri-skin as close as possible the following interface elements are of interest to us; The MENU-Bar's; both on the top of the screen as well as the one on top of a document, The Box that contains Comments, Attachments, History and Information The top of the document that shows Document navigation hierarchy, the document name or title the last modified and the summary of Comments, Attachments With regard to menubar; We would like to be able to add, show or hide elements depending on the Role and rights of the user AND the nature of the document Role; If user is a guest, author, moderator (typical roles you find in a Content Management System Rights; Has Edit Rights Document nature; if document is only velocity (like livetables, scripted page etc..) -> maybe this should be managed by rights? The Box that... Document nature; if a document is scripted we would like to hide the box, so only real content pages should show that box The top of a document Document nature; If document nature is script; title, last modified by and summary of box makes no sense My question is what would be the best place(s) to do these things? What is a good source of information to learn about these elements and best practises to learn to modify them (which API functions do work on these elements) The VM template "menuview" seems to contain the structure of the menubars; is this the place to influence the behaviour It also contains #xwikitopmenuentrystart, #submenuitem etc.. where are these things defined (and/or documented)? thx Gerritjan

[xwiki-users] Sending emails with attachments from XWiki page

by Alexey

Hello. I need to make a page where a person could send an email with an attachment to a predefined address. So basically i need a input field that would allow to choose a file to attach, then the file would be uploaded to the server and sent as an attachment. I've found this extension http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Mail+Sender+Plugin, but it seems to be obsolete. I'm not sure how to store the file before sending it as an attachment, any suggestions? Another possible issue is that i have an old version (1.3) of XWiki. What is the best way to approach this task? I would appreciate any pointers, links and suggestions! Thank you for your help.

Re: [xwiki-users] Error 40001 when attempting to open a page for editing

by John Morfit

Marius, That was pretty much the entire error. I get the error in the Sandbox, too.

I copied the content of your page to http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Sandbox/Hapkido+Folks (a different wiki on the same farm) and section editing works. Note that by default all wikis on the farm share the same editwysiwygnew.vm template, and I doubt you have overwritten it in your skin. Can you give us the full error message? Hope this helps, Marius

[xwiki-users] Null tag in the cloud or default tag

by shtegtari

I often add a quick entry to my XWiki and forget to tag it properly. What is really needed is to see items with NULL (no tag) in the tag cloud (or to add a dummy tag at creation, say NOTAG, to every new item by default, if listing empty tags is not easy) so these entries can be listed and properly tagged at a later time.

[xwiki-users] xwiki license question

by lists＠yhmail.de

Hello again, I am unsure about the license xwiki uses. When I have a look at my xwiki installation it reads: ?This wiki is licensed under a Creative Commons license?. However, when I take a look at the FAQs ?http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/License? it says that ?XWiki is distributed under the LGPL license version 2.1? Is there a difference between those two? If so, which one is applicable? I am asking because we have a customer who sells intranet SaaS solutions for small and middle sized companies. The question is: would it be OK if he integrates XWiki into his solutions. He does not want to use functions provided by xwiki in his code/programm and he wouldn?t charge extra for it. However he would alter the authorisation process and change the style. Thanks very much for your help, Stephanie
