[xwiki-users] Exception when printing top menu
by CHENEAU-GREHALLE Nicolas 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

Hello, Sometimes, the top menu disappears and is replaced by the exception below. It's new since the 4.1.3 migration. The user exists and if we're going on another page and go back, the problem disappears. It's totally random but only in the virtual wikis (not in the main instance). Any idea ?

[xwiki-users] Importing from JSPwiki, question on spaces
by Matt Lamoureux 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

Hi all, My department is migrating from JSPwiki to Xwiki. We want to keep things simple, so when importing your war file I did not import the sandbox or blog spaces. That left Main, Xwiki, AppWithinMinutes, and Dashboard. AWM is fine, but I found out the hard way that Dashboard and Xwiki both contain parts of the software, so I can't delete or hide them. First of all - is that accurate? My second question is around the Main space. I thought we could import our files directly into that space, but apparently not - we had a page called "Search" which appears to have overwritten the search results page. I couldn't find any documentation about best practices when importing - like file names to avoid, etc. Do I have to create a brand new space, leaving Main, Dashboard and Xwiki alone? I just worry people will start clicking around and editing or creating pages in one of those other spaces... Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! - Matt L. I really don't want people to see the other spaces (to avoid confusion). I had thought that the main parts of Xwiki were kept in the Xwiki space, so I did the import into Main. However, that appears to have caused some other issues, since we had a page called "Search" which seems to have overwritten the default search results page.

Hi, Matt! See answers below. Fri, 10 Aug 2012 20:07:31 -0400 от Matt Lamoureux <mmlmrx(a)gmail.com>: >Hi all, > My department is migrating from JSPwiki to Xwiki.

First of > all - is that accurate?Actually you can delete them also, as far as I know. But some scripts will really "keep things simple", I'd say MUCH simplier, than without them. So, I'd advise to play with all this staff first :-) Sandbox you can delete also, but just think about some playground for users who see XWiki first time. Sometimes it was more useful than useless for me. > My second question is around the Main space.

In the future, in a case of upgrades or moving/renaming/deleting spaces you would highly appreciate keeping data OUT of sctripting :-) To avoid "smart hands desease" - just restrict edit rights to Main and XWiki (maybe some more) spaces. Simple view rights would make your scripting almost unbreakable. :-) There is more complicated way - change default page on XWiki start and build everything you need "from scratch". But depending on your future plans I'd recommend just to keep it in mind, but not implement at once: it is set globally for XWiki. For example, in a case of XEM, each Workspace would have non-standard default page, that may cause additional work in template customization. Probably, there are another ways to do this, but I didn't explore it yet. As a conclusion: much-much more easier to customise existing spaces-pages to you needs, especially from the very beginning. > Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated! > > Thanks! > - Matt L. > > > I really don't want people to see the other spaces (to avoid confusion).

BTW, besides the fact, that XWiki has access rights at page level even for each user, I use this very seldom. Much easier to use Groups and set access rights to Spaces. As for "confusion": if you will check Document Index link in top menu - you will see ALL spaces and pages you have view access rights. In my case - I didn't have any confusions at this point. But you're free to make a little Guide to users :-) It helps much. Other way is to customise XWiki's appearance and remove "extra" links. BUT if someone smart will use direct links - it won't help much: someone smart will have access according to his access rights :-) Kind regards, Dmitry

I am attempting to clone an existing XWiki Enterprise 3.5.1 installation to test out how to upgrade to 4.1.3. When attempting to load the main page, I receive the following error: message com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 3 in 0: Could not initialize main XWiki context Wrapped Exception: Error number 3202 in 3: Exception while reading document [name = [XWikiPreferences], type = [DOCUMENT], parent = [name = [XWiki], type = [SPACE], parent = [name = [xwiki], type = [WIKI], parent = [null]]]] Wrapped Exception: Error number 3301 in 3: Exception while switching to database xwiki Wrapped Exception: Database xwiki needs migration(s), it could not be safely used! description The server encountered an internal error (com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 3 in 0: Could not initialize main XWiki context Wrapped Exception: Error number 3202 in 3: Exception while reading document [name = [XWikiPreferences], type = [DOCUMENT], parent = [name = [XWiki], type = [SPACE], parent = [name = [xwiki], type = [WIKI], parent = [null]]]] Wrapped Exception: Error number 3301 in 3: Exception while switching to database xwiki Wrapped Exception: Database xwiki needs migration(s), it could not be safely used!) that prevented it from fulfilling this request. I have tried a couple of different configurations in the xwiki.cfg. Here is my current configuration. xwiki.store.migration=1 #-# Whether to exit after migration.

The user account has full permissions to modify the schema. Any ideas on why the migration isn't happening? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Problem-Migrating-Database-from-XWiki-Ent… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I want this wiki for project-management of our non-profit-organization based in Spain (but with international members), starting with a team-based study on funds of documentation. XWiki ist thought to be an ideal means of communication and collaboration amongst the participants. Lateron we might use it for other projects, as well, on an international level. We hope to be admitted at the Community farm.

[xwiki-users] XWiki Eclipse Plugin Installation
by Moritz Hesse (EnergieArchitektur) 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Hi, how exactly do I install the XWiki Eclipse Plugin? This description http://xeclipse.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome#HInstallation does definitely not lead to a satisfiying result. Besides XEclipse and the XWiki Eclipse Plugin - are there any other IDEs that one can work with, e.g. IntelliJ, NetBeans etc.? Thanks and bests, Moritz
