[xwiki-users] Create Workspace Permissions

Hello Is there anywhere to manage permissions to allow/disallow users to create workspaces? I would like to use the workspace feature to organise my wiki though I don't want registered users to be able to create there own workspace.

Hi, Matt, Something similar I have in one of the projects (besides LDAP yet). My solution was as following: - XEM - You logically spread your information to the following structure: Main Wiki -> Workspaces (or sub-wikis) -> Spaces - All Users are Global Users - Each sub-wiki has its own policy access rights based on groups. In multi-project it's essential to plan good structure and acces rights policy. It took us nearly a month to describe desired logic and access rights policies for all projects. :-)))) In my case there are: main wiki and 30+ subwikis, 80+ users for now. All of them are private, no registration available. So, It's better understand workflow logic and customize data structure accordingly. Most probably it won't be as simple as you described it: only three departments' -workspaces. If you need completely paranoic privacy for some projects, better use separate server, separate XWiki instance to keep secrets in. :-)) As for links: wiki-wiki. If you have ONE wiki engine - it's quite easy: wiki:Space.PageName. Bad news: - there is no WYSIWYG interface to manage this, that makes it a bit more complicated for non-advanced users. - Wiki-wiki links are not updated on page rename.

[xwiki-users] AD Authentication - Groups and Namespaces
by Flatfender 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

All, I'm thinking of deploying xwiki either community or commercial. I've looked through the docs, and searched the forum as well. Here is my question. Can I create groups in AD/LDAP and tie them to Namespaces to get protected wiki's by department? We have some departments that are ok with an Open wiki, but others like accounting want restricted access. I'd like to manage this at the AD/LDAP group level instead of the xwiki application level, is that possible? Is namespaces the right way to go to achieve departmental wiki's or would I have to look at multiple wiki's in a wiki farm? Thanks, Matt P.

Re: [xwiki-users] wiki farm upgrade

Hmm looks like the 4.1 admin UI is not as compatible as I expected with 4.3 WAR. Importing http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/org/xwiki/platform/xwiki-platform-extension… fix it. A pity having to import it in all subwiki but there is not much choices here. Most of Extension Manager UI is now located in the WAR itself instead of wiki pages which makes it a lot less fragile.

[xwiki-users] Create Hierarchy Space Template
by djphatic 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

Is it possible to create a space template which would have placeholder pages created in the space to create a structure for new pages to be added to. For example, I would like to create a space for documenting database systems and the space would have a hierarchy like so: System Name (Space) ->User Documentation --->Quick Start Guide --->Other sections... ->Technical Documentation --->Tables --->Views --->Stored Procedures --->Functions --->Other sections... -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Create-Hierarchy-Space-Template-tp7582637… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi, I need to insert videos into wiki pages. I tried to use JWPlayer Macro, but it looks it only allows insert videos stored as attachment in wiki pages. I need insert videos stored in LAN which are available as http link (ex: http://server.domain.com/training/Video1.mp4) Is there possibility to use JWPlayer Macro in this case?

Hi, XWiki Experts! XEM 4.1.4 -> XEM 4.3 upgrade. Main wiki upgraded fine with the help of upgrade manager on the first run. What is the correct way to upgrade each and every subwiki's UI? Is there any way to run this manager on every subwiki? Kind regards, Dmitry
