by Geo P.C. 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

In Xwiki when we use xwiki.authentication.ldap.mode_group_sync as always then on each login by a single user, multiple entries are created in group. So when we delete user entry from LDAP group its not affecting in XWIKI as it has multiple entries in group. So can anyone please help me to solve this issue. When we change option to create this issue is not there but this option we don’t need as it will not update LDAP group changes etc…. Thanks Geo

[xwiki-users] Retrieving main wiki name
by Jeremie BOUSQUET 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Hello, I'm moving toward Workspace enabled wiki, and trying to retrieve a global user Document from a subwiki. I'm using LDAP, but creating users only on global wiki. My problem, is that from various APIs (workspace, wikimanager, xwiki...), I was not able to find an easy to retrieve the name of the main wiki - which in my case is not "xwiki". I need it to provide it to my xwiki.getDocument(username) to retrieve correct doc. Or maybe there's an API to fallback the getDocument() on the global wiki, if doc is not found in local subwiki ? Sorry if it's obvious, I'm quite new to the virtual mode ;-) Thanks, Jeremie

[xwiki-users] changing translation values
by Paul Pinkerton (ACLCO) 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Realizing this is a very basic question, I ask it anyway in the hopes of a fairly plain language answer. How do you edit the titles that you call using $msg.get(xxx)? I am working on some code and it is using: $msg.get('platform.core.profile.company'). I want to change company to another term more familiar to my users, but need to change it both for English and French versions. I want to use the $msg.get functionality, as it makes switching languages simpler - but I cannot figure out where this "dictionary" is actually stored for editing.

[xwiki-users] Programming rights for LDAP users on sub-wiki
by Aaron Hardy at AC 23 Jul '13

23 Jul '13

Hi, I'm running into some difficulties with permissions to run scripts for LDAP users on a subwiki. I'm running XWiki 5.0.3 on Tomcat. The subwiki has a script written with Python (and some Velocity). This script page then gets included on many pages with the {{include}} macro. There's another script (velocity and javascript) which uploads an attachment to the pages with the include macro, so: Page A - Code for the python script Page B - Includes script from Page A Page C - Uploads attachments to Page B The wiki farm is configured to use LDAP authentication against an external LDAP user database. This works fine - people can log in to the subwiki with their external credentials, and XWiki will create a user object for them. The problem is that when an LDAP user without programming rights uses Page C to upload an attachment to Page B, the attachment uploads but the page will then not display, giving the "You don't have the right to execute this script" error. I presume this is because creating an attachment on the page means that the page was last saved by a user with non-programming rights, so the page no longer has the rights to execute the script. If I manually create a non-LDAP user on the main wiki and give that user programming rights, then log into the subwiki as that user, make a small modification to Page B and resave, it will display correctly again. However, I cannot seem to assign programming rights to an LDAP user - those rights don't appear to be inherited by the subwiki. So if I have the LDAP user log in to the main wiki, it will create a user object (xwiki:XWiki.adminuser@testcom). I can grant that user programming rights on the main wiki, but if I try and log in with those credentials on the subwiki, it creates a new user (subwiki:XWiki:adminuser@testcom) - and re-saving the page with that user doesn't fix the problem. Is there any way to either: a) Grant programming rights to an LDAP user, such that users who are authorized to make changes don't break the script permissions or b) Make it so that a normal non-programming user can upload attachments to a page without breaking included scripts? Any help is appreciated, aaron

[xwiki-users] XWIKI Enterprise Windows install
by John D Caffery 23 Jul '13

23 Jul '13

I recently installed xwiki-enterprise-installer-windows-4.5.4 on a Windows 2008 R2 server, service pack 1. The application is currently not working after installing it to c:\xwiki enterprise 4.5.4 directory. It appears as if Jetty should be the web service but it does not start either with the "start xwiki enterprise .bat file or with the start.jar java file in the Jetty folder. I have looked at the permissions and they look good. Any suggestions? Also, there is a "Go to my wiki" shortcut that points to http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/main that appears to be looking for a folder native to Windows IIS, C:\inetpub\wwwroot\xwiki\bin\view\main. Does IIS need to be installed? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

[xwiki-users] get article content
by pierrick.bena＠intech.lu 23 Jul '13

23 Jul '13

Hi ! I have several Blog articles and I get their content with obj.getProperty('content').getValue(). I have two questions : 1) Is it possible to get exactly the right format of the content ? For example, if I have a bold or italic word , when I get the value I have **bold word** and // italic word // . I would like to have the word directly in bold or italic. 2) If it's not possible, is there a way to get the value of the content without specials caracters like ** ** or // // ? Thanks for help ! Regards, Pierrick
