Vincent and Wouter -- thanks for the great responses. I'll try to take your advice and tweak just a space for normal users. One thing I've identified that would be nice, but I don't know how to do... I'd like the Document Metadata panel that is below the content panel to _not_ appear, unless someone selects Comments, Annotations, Attachments, History, Information in the top right corner of the content panel. I think this must be possible, the reason, why else would there be two ways to navigate to it -- top right of content _and_ tabs on meta panel. (I'm aware of turning off each Doc Metadata tab from the Page Elements... but I don't want them off, just not expanded out.) ^ That would simplify the look quite a bit. I've started some notes so I can reproduce what I'm doing at some point: (scripting myself) Create a new group "Wiki Users" Create some users as Wiki Users Login as them to see what a non-admin sees Probably have 2 different browsers to keep flipping back and forth Create a new Space, one which will be the normal user's default Keep default skin so you don't stray from supported world Go to Administer Wiki -> Look & Feel Presentation you can change the color of the default skin Page Elements -> turn off left panel, turn on right panel, etc Panel Wizard -> choose what you want in the right panel There are more things I'd like to do: Backlinks has redundant pages something like " | sort | uniq" is needed. A bug? Add Search in right panel and remove X-WIKI header of page. Header must be somewhere in the skin? Thanks guys -- I hope to help out with the "minimal config" page. ----- "Vincent Massol" <vincent(a)massol.net> wrote: > Hi Guillaume, > > On Sep 8, 2011, at 10:37 AM, Guillaume Fenollar wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > Finally, I think it would be great to have some available .xar > packages to > > download, not only one.

[xwiki-users] minimal xwiki configuration
by Scott Serr 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

I'd like some guidance on heading towards a very minimal xwiki configuration, at least for end users. The default xwiki UI is pretty complex. I'd like users to see this: content (edit, print) search box minimal side bar backlinks (and not much more) Is there a guide on how to strip down what a normal user sees to the bare essentials? Thanks, Scott

[xwiki-users] Importing a xar fike and indexing by lucene
by Cadin Françoise 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

Hello, I've build my own XAR file to import pages from Oracle Database into Xwiki. The importation is OK but the pages are never indexed by Lucene. Even if I use the administration form and re-buil the index, it doesn't work. If I create a new page directly in my Xwiki, it is indexed without any problem. What's wrong with the importation ? I use the stand alone installation. Thank you very much for help Françoise Cadin

Re: [xwiki-users] Using jsfx plugin

If you're writing a component then I advise you to use the SkinExtension component ( see https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwi… ). Take a look at how the Gallery macro is using it: https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwi… . Use the method that takes a map of parameters if you want to specify the defer parameter.

[xwiki-users] file operations in file system storage is too slow
by Haru Mamburu 05 Sep '11

05 Sep '11

HI! Xwiki 3.1. Attachment versioning turned off. Storage is set to file system, Works fine with relatively small files. I uploaded 700M file - no problem, a bit to wait, but works fine. I tried then to delete this file. The result was also successful, but took nearly 1.5 minutes to finish. Is there any way to run file operations faster? Thanks a lot. Dmitry Bakbardin.

[xwiki-users] Download resume for large files - no way?
by Haru Mamburu 05 Sep '11

05 Sep '11

Hi! By default, XWiki doesn't have "resume" ability for downloads. Is there any way to turn it on? From the moment file system storage was implemented into XE it makes sence. And another question-idea: On uploading big (all) files, XWiki creates hash for torrent, stores it together with file. On Download request - user gets torrent file and starts download. Server side strats seeding and after download is complete - kills seeding process from torrent-client. Upload can be done almost the same way. The question is: Does existing XWiki functionality allow to implement such a upload-download technology? Thanks in advance, Dmitry Bakbardin
