[xwiki-users] [Optimizing] Changing the Default Wiki

by sCineX

Dear XWIKI-Community, I am setting up an internal Wiki for our enterprise and actually the Wiki is ideally suited for our requierement, but there are some problems for me. First of all I want to change the Mainname of the Wiki. For now there is the following content: "WIKI: XWIKI" - and I want "WIKI: ENTERPRISENAME". If I change the name of the folders theres no connection to the CMS anymore. So wheres the option to change this name? For the next step I want to use the Spaces for seperating the departments like Development, Projectmanagement etc., but if I set up the Groups and the rights of the users, they are landing on the mainpage. Is there a way to redirect them directly to the site, which they should see? Thanks for your help for now. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Optimizing-Changing-the-Default-Wiki-tp75… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] [ANN] XWiki Summer 2013 Hackathon

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs and community at large, Every year XWiki SAS (http://xwiki.com) gathers all its employees for a Seminar and every year we have an internal hackathon. For example here are the results of last year: - 2012: http://www.xwiki.com/lang/en/Company/Hackathon2012 - 2011: http://www.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Company/Hackathon2011 This year the Hackathon will run for 10 days! Thus we thought it could be a good idea to invite the XWiki Community to join us for a mega distributed Hackathon! So here's how I think we could organize it: * Start date: 17th of July. A mail will be posted on this day to announce the start * End date: 25th of July. A mail will be posted on this day to announce the end * Gathering results: from 29 to 6th of August. Everyone who participated should reply to the end of hackathon mail with what they did and post their stuff on http://extensions.xwiki.org or elsewhere * On around the 6th of August we'll have a blog post written on xwiki.org summarizing all that was done by everyone Those who have participated will also get XWiki T-Shirts. Anyone interested in joining the fun? Thanks -Vincent with my XWiki SAS employee hat

[xwiki-users] Is java good enough as the core language of xwiki?

by crocket

Since xwiki consists of multiple modules, I think any high-level language would suit xwiki. In large projects, every language and methodology seems to degrade. However, people started to think java is too verbose. I just want to hear how xwiki devs think.

[xwiki-users] What To Download & Use???

by xMatter

I am new to wiki style building, have knowledge and experience with WP, Drupal, and Joomla. I want to stop using WP for my employer's intranet and start using xWiki. My questions are... Should I use a standalone install on a server and share the IP with all the uers through Group Policy? OR Do I use the .war install on a server? Also, i install the standalone on my personal laptop and was wondering in either scenario listed above, does anything need to be installed on all client workstations? Thanks! -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/What-To-Download-Use-tp7586537.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] how to debug a picture not being scaled down?

by Paul Libbrecht

Hello fellow XWikiers, I now have an XWiki 5.0.3 and an XWiki 5.1 where my picture never gets downsized. e.g. /xwiki/bin/download/XWiki/polx/photo%2Dpasseport%2DPaul%2D2012%2D07.jpg?width=50&height=50&keepAspectRatio=true has width 345 x 443 (the original). How can I debug this? The log does not seem to say and it seems not related to have an AWT thread at hand (the 5.1 is run with a graphics environment). thanks in advance. Paul

[xwiki-users] Using a commercial pdf-rendering library

by jhaimerl

Hi, we want to modify the pdf-export by using a commercial pdf-rendering library. As so far the pdf-export is located in the xwiki-platform-oldcore package, I suppose the reengineering is still pending. Because of that I wanted to ask how is the future strategy for the pdf-export? How can we integrate our pdf-export to be prepared for future modification? Thanks and regards, Josef -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Using-a-commercial-pdf-rendering-library-… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Add Extensions via Admin UI for local admins

by Clemens Klein-Robbenhaar

A few days ago I ran into some problems when trying to install an extension via the extension manager. The problem was that the pages of this extension require programming rights and I have been doing the install as a local admin of a subwiki. As the local admins have no programming rights the extension got installed without error message, but then it failed to work properly (of course). I first thought about reporting a bug that users without programming rights should have no access to the extension manager to avoid these problems, but then I figured out that this might be too restrictive. For example one does not need Programming rights to install a color theme; there is not reason why a local admin should not be able to do that. The problem is that one cannot distinguish in advance between the two cases of an extension needing programming rights and one not needing it. So I wonder if it would be feasible to extend the ExtensionClass with a flag "Requires Programming rights" or the like and then any extensions found via the ExtensionManager will tell the Admin UI, if they need Programming rights to be installed or not. The UI then could check with the rights of the current user and inform about the problem before installing. Of course this creates a backward compatibility issue; one has to treat a missing value for that flag somehow. Maybe assuming that a missing flag means "no programming rights required" is ok, because that way extensions without this flag will be handled exactly the same as they are currently handled However I wonder if I talk about a real problem here, or if this is not really needed, but it is me doing something wrong. (E.g. is it actually advisable to install an extension only on one local wiki, and not on the complete farm?) Any thoughts? Clemens
