Re: [xwiki-users] [ANN] XWiki 5.2 Release Candidate 1 Released

Thank you for the new Release, Marius! http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki52RC1#HNe… Is it possible to disable/enable this Home menu item by purpose besides changing vm files and attaching them to the skin page? Use case is following: Home Wiki (Main Wiki) 1. Workspaces: - workspace 1 ..... - workspace N 2. Wiki farm: - wiki farm 1 In the Workspaces I can guess, I'd need Home menu sometimes. Probably. But in most of cases, in the wiki-farm I'd prefer users would not even know about each other. Are you going to make it configurable via UI?

[xwiki-users] Problem with action_xyz parameter in URL
by Edo Beutler 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

Hi I have a problem with a URL containing a parameter of the form action_...=... The page does not load with this parameter. For an example see the xwiki.org start page ( http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome?action_xyz) The parameter action_... seems to be used for something, but I couldn't find anything on what exactly and on how I can work around that. Unfortunately this URL is created by an external source (Facebook), so I can't change it. Can somebody point me in the right direction? Thanks, Edo

[xwiki-users] Failure to use custom Job
by Jeremie BOUSQUET 29 Sep '13

29 Sep '13

Hello, I'm trying to use the Job Module [1] for my own needs. I know some of its APIs are marked as unstable, but well I wanted to give it a try. I'm on a XWiki 4.5.2 instance currently. So I created some dummy interface: @Role public interface ILoadingJob extends Job { } A Job implementation: @Component @Named(LoadingJob.JOBTYPE) public class LoadingJob extends AbstractJob<DefaultRequest> implements ILoadingJob, Initializable { public static final String JOBTYPE = "mailarchivejob"; // ... } In debug mode, I run the following: this.componentManager.getComponentDescriptorList(org.xwiki.job.Job.class) It returns: [implementation = [org.xwiki.contrib.mailarchive.internal.LoadingJob], instantiation = [PER_LOOKUP], implementation = [org.xwiki.extension.job.internal.UpgradePlanJob], ... ] So it seems OK. I have the following code to create and execute my Job: DefaultRequest request = new DefaultRequest(); request.setId("test"); request.setInteractive(false); // ... other properties set LoadingJob job = (LoadingJob) jobManager.executeJob("mailarchivejob", request); But this code fails with following stack trace: org.xwiki.job.JobException: Failed to lookup any Job for role hint [mailarchivejob] at org.xwiki.job.internal.DefaultJobManager.createJob(DefaultJobManager.java:185) at org.xwiki.job.internal.DefaultJobManager.addJob(DefaultJobManager.java:208) at org.xwiki.job.internal.DefaultJobManager.executeJob(DefaultJobManager.java:194) at org.xwiki.contrib.mailarchive.internal.MailArchiveScriptService.createLoadingJob(MailArchiveScriptService.java:112) at org.xwiki.contrib.mailarchive.internal.MailArchiveScriptService.load(MailArchiveScriptService.java:94) [...] Caused by: org.xwiki.component.manager.ComponentLookupException: Can't find descriptor for the component [role = [interface org.xwiki.job.Job] hint = [mailarchivejob]] at org.xwiki.component.embed.EmbeddableComponentManager.getComponentInstance(EmbeddableComponentManager.java:355) at org.xwiki.component.embed.EmbeddableComponentManager.getInstance(EmbeddableComponentManager.java:161) at org.xwiki.job.internal.DefaultJobManager.createJob(DefaultJobManager.java:183) [...] I also tried to manually register my custom Job component, in the initialize() of a side component (I checked that this code got executed previously to job creation), but with no different result: // Register custom job this.componentManager.registerComponent(this.componentManager.getComponentDescriptor(Job.class, "mailarchivejob")); Do you see something wrong in my approach ? Thanks, Jeremie

[xwiki-users] How to avoid (x) turning into a red X image?
by Todd O'Bryan 28 Sep '13

28 Sep '13

I tried to write f(x) and got f followed by a pretty image of a red x. My guess is that there's a help page showing these replacements and how to avoid them, but I couldn't find it with a quick search. Where should I look? Thanks, Todd

[xwiki-users] esoteric features
by Richard Kulisz 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

Hi there, I'm investigating whether this wiki engine is right for me. I'm looking for three specific design features: 1. able to attach autonomous agents to pages 2. transclusions / includes. 3. capability security model rather than ACLs features #3 + #1 can easily be made to enact: 3a. patron blindness - users can become patrons of others and their own patron is blind to that, but must deal with the entire sub-hierarchy of users as a collective which makes this other feature rather important: 3b. patron multiplicity - users can acquire multiple patrons just in case their first patron decides to eradicate them Oh and I suppose: 4. automatic garbage collection and revisions even of deleted pages If you know of another wiki engine that supports these better, please let me know. I know that Wagn supports transclusions but I'm rather doubtful that anyone supports a capability security model. Even though ACLs really should have died out in the 70s. Thanks for reading this far, Richard

Re: [xwiki-users] display issues in IE

I am having some issues with the site not properly displaying in IE. I am using the Colibri skin. The top bar (Add, wiki, etc..) is displayed under the page heading and off to the right (starts above the right panel column and extends right). The site displays properly in FF, Chrome and Opera (although annotations don't work in Opera properly). Thoughts? Paul Pinkerton KnowledgeNow Project Lead

[xwiki-users] re. Help with Navigation Menu Wiki Macro
by Paul Pinkerton (ACLCO) 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

I am still hopeful that someone out there would be able to assist me with this. The Navigation Menu Macro only properly displays 2 levels. The 3rd level simply displays overtop of the 2nd, making it unusable. It is not an option to use the newer macro, as it is incompatible with the wiki version. I did discover in looking at the html code that the macro assigns screen placement values in the first 2 levels to "pop out" a menu. It fails to assign values in the 3rd level (actually assigns 0,0,0...) Although I could probably fix this by manually assigning values, it would be helpful to know how to fix the macro, so that I don't have to custom program every entry and every list! You can see my previous post below here. Assistance appreciated!

I have the following issues: In a horizontal menu, the 1st and 2nd levels appear correctly. When I add a 3rd level, it displays overtop of existing text, rather than'popping out'. *Main1 ** Sub1 *** Sub1Sub1 **Sub2 ***Sub2Sub1 *Main2 In a vertical menu, the submenu items appear to the side, but below the level of the related main menu item, making it difficult to move the mouse to the submenu to select links there. I have tried adding line spaces, etc.. but this doesn't affect the display. I did check online for existing solutions - and found this thread detailing a similar issue from late 2012/ early 2013. No solutions were offered. http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Navigation-Menu-Wiki-Macro-td7582112.h tml#a7582455 (see Hamster's post of Nov 16, 2012 2:06 and following) The poster suggests that the issue is in the JavaScript code.

Re: [xwiki-users] AJAX requests don't finish / 401 Error

And hello once more. It seems I had problems with the HTTP headers. Raising the maximum Size in Apache, Tomcat and the jk-worker (yes, all three) helped to solve my problem. This is just an information for the next person that encounters a similar issue. Thilo -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: users-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Schmidt, Thilo (VZ) Gesendet: Montag, 23.

I had a look at the http headers both sent and received with the tool "LiveHttpHeaders" and found out, that indeed every GET-request is answered with a 401 ("Forbidden"), then resent with an "Authorization" field and answered with a 200 ("OK"). So the problem does not seem to be in my setup and/or Kerberos, but maybe in the xwiki itself? What can I do to make xwiki show the correct result for AJAX requests?
