Hi, We found XWiki groups really useful as a metaphor for rather different types of entities. But we are facing a problem. Please, could you follow this reasoning? Given an user, let's say, USER01, she/he will belong to a given number of XWiki groups. Our doubt is, how to represent/stora the particularities of a given user when he/she is included in a given group. Let's me to describe an example. Any user in our organization could play different roles. For instance, for given set of groups he/she could play a coordinator role. But this fact won't affect /conditonate his/her roles when assigned to a different group. The only solution I could think off is to create one property per group a given user belongs to to store his/her role in this group. Please, could you figure out a better solution? Thanks for your help!!!

[xwiki-users] [myxwiki] new wiki request

by Ruedi Klein

Hi, I am a doctoral student at the International Graduate School of Zittau, Germany (www.ihi-zittau.de). I would like to create a new wiki to try some collaborative academic paper writing (and potential extension development to integrate with Mendeley or Refworks) on XWiki. In particular, I like the granular version tracking, access control, and .rtf export, which allows citation tags to be postprocessed for a finished academic paper submission. My user name on www.myxwiki.org is "ruediklein". The server name should be " ihi-zittau.myxwiki.com" or "ruediklein.myxwiki.com", if the first one is not available. Thanks, Ruedi -- Secretary Treasurer of the Product Development and Management Association (PDMA) <http://www.pdma.org> *“Connecting Innovators Worldwide”*

[xwiki-users] Search results: improvement in display

by Joris Dirks

Hi fokes, I wanted to share my ideas on the search application. The results don't really show a lot of information right now. The field "located in" is confusing to many users, as it does not show the path but the wiki, the space and the page the page itself/the attachment is in. At the very least, when the search does not expand to multiple wiki's, the 'location' should not start with "xwiki" (everything is at 'xwiki'). I can imagine showing the sniplet of text that matches the search query would be difficult to program, or even the first 200 chars of that page. Showing tags in the found page would probably be a better addition showing info on the result page. For attachments, only a 'paperclip' is shown while in the attachment pane, a symbol for image, ms-word etc is shown. Matching words could be emphasised (bold or italic) in the results, so it's easy to spot why it was a result. Especially when tags and a sniplet of the content is shown. Results from the 'current' space the user was in might be shown on top, too. Like Delicious shows results from the user's stack as the first 3 results, followed by the 'general' results. The logic to me is that a user wants pages from the space he originated his search from, as that's the topic he is currently interested in (eg he starts his search in the space 'best practices', he might be most interested in best practices. As my proposed improvements no doubt mean more processing time, I'd decrease the results to 15 per page. Users hardly look further than the first 10 anyway. I hope I can get your thoughts on these improvements so I might promote this to feature requests in JIRA :) Greets, Joris

[xwiki-users] [myxwiki] new wiki request

by Nicklin, Andrew

Hi - I work for the government of the City of New York, which isn't specifically an individual or a non-profit organization, but certainly isn't a commercial organization either. We are interested in standing up an XWiki instance to support a short-term (3 month) public review and commenting period of some technology policies and standards. Specifically, they are related to our strategy of opening up much of our government data for free use. See here for more details: http://www.nyc.gov/html/doitt/html/open/data.shtml While there would probably be very few registered users and relatively little visitor traffic, the content of the wiki would be publicly visible without requiring a login. In addition, this would enable us to carefully evaluate the use of the xwiki platform for deployment for other Internet-facing wiki efforts which we know will be needed within the next year or two. My user name is technickle, and the server name / domain would ideally be nycopendata.myxwiki.org Thanks for your consideration! -Andrew

[xwiki-users] Upgrade strategy

by Gerritjan Koekkoek

Hi, What is the best strategy for upgrading (2.7 -> 3.5.1) and making sure everything is based on the latest? I was thinking the following; Export the old Wiki (full Export) Delete the Wiki Clean installed Wiki Import the Export Import the XAR of a fresh Wiki Problem with above; With last step I overwrite and lose all modified pages (especially XWikiusers group) All imported pages are not modified to latest XWiki syntax profiles of XWikiUsers are based on OLD object definition Object def changes in BLOG (if any?) Script changes in Register procedure any other? Gerritjan
