[xwiki-users] Fwd: Upgrading a XWIKI installation 6.1 to 6.21 usings WARs
by Maik Dehnert 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

Hello all together, I am a bit confused looking at upgrading section, because I have never upgraded XWIKI before, and I just have experience with the regular ".exe" installation process. Can you explain in a bit more detail to me how to upgrade XWIKI with a WAR file? Where can I replace the old WAR file on my server with the newer one? Thank you very much in advance. Maik

Yes, the reason for above is to make the user-experience better for ’simple’ users… We would like to apply the principle ’Less is More’ by leaving out ’UI elements" that are not used by majority of users. So I would love a pane where I could select the UI elements to be accessible by ’Simple’, ’Advanced’ and a special list for ’Admin’ Like: the Attachment area at bottom of Page Last modified by… Export menu but also simplifying: More actions -> Print preview (So instead of a drop-down “More Actions” only the option without drop down triangle: “Print Preview" > > Thanks > -Vincent > > > Gerritjan >

[xwiki-users] Xwiki Enterprise 6.2.1
by Jaume Giribert Peraire 10 Oct '14

Hi, I have a fresh install of xwiki 6.2.1 (Centos 7, tomcat7). I have installed and setup Libreoffice 4.3 for document conversion. Everything is working fine and xwiki starts libreoffice correctly. However, I'm unable to convert any document using the office importer. I tried doc, ppt, etc.. with no luck. In catalina.out I get the following error: *Caused by: org.xwiki.officeimporter.converter.OfficeConverterException: Error while performing conversion. at org.xwiki.officeimporter.internal.converter.DefaultOfficeConverter.convert(DefaultOfficeConverter.java:116) ~[xwiki-platform-legacy-office-importer-6.2.1.jar:na] at org.xwiki.officeimporter.internal.builder.DefaultXHTMLOfficeDocumentBuilder.build(DefaultXHTMLOfficeDocumentBuilder.java:94) ~[xwiki-platform-legacy-office-importer-6.2.1.jar:na] ... 62 common frames omittedCaused by: org.artofsolving.jodconverter.office.OfficeException: could not load document: test.doc at org.artofsolving.jodconverter.AbstractConversionTask.loadDocument(AbstractConversionTask.java:99) ~[jodconverter-core-3.0-beta-4-xwiki-20110822.jar:na] at org.artofsolving.jodconverter.AbstractConversionTask.execute(AbstractConversionTask.java:59) ~[jodconverter-core-3.0-beta-4-xwiki-20110822.jar:na] at org.artofsolving.jodconverter.office.PooledOfficeManager$2.run(PooledOfficeManager.java:80) ~[jodconverter-core-3.0-beta-4-xwiki-20110822.jar:na] at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:471) ~[na:1.7.0_67] at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:262) ~[na:1.7.0_67] ... 3 common frames omitted* Related to this issue, if I upload a document to a page, the "view" option is enable but when I click I get this message and a blank page: *$services.officeviewer.view($attachmentReference) * Following is the xwiki.properties options enabled: *openoffice.serverType=0openoffice.serverPort=8100openoffice.autoStart=trueopenoffice.homePath=/opt/libreoffice4.3/* And the soffice process: *tomcat 11935 11889 0 14:27 ? 00:00:00 /opt/libreoffice4.3/program/soffice.bin -accept=socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp; -env:UserInstallation=file:///var/cache/tomcat/temp/.jodconverter_socket_host-127.0.0.1_port-8100 -headless -nocrashreport -nodefault -nofirststartwizard -nolockcheck -nologo -norestore* I have done this kind of configuration for xwiki 5 and 6.1 using Libreoffice 4.0 with no problems. Is there anything I'm missing here? It's a problem related to this version? Kind regards

[xwiki-users] Static list value vs. display
by Jason Clemons 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hello all, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not, but I have an issue with my static lists. I set the "value" as follows: 1-choice 1|2-choice 2|3-choice 3 when I view my form I see the choices as follows: choice 1 choice 2 choice 3 which is what I expect, however...if I change the value before the dash or remove the selection all together from the class all items which have that selection get the "hidden" value. For instance, if a page was created using "choice 1", and the selection of "choice 1" exists in the class, then viewing the page will indeed show "choice 1". However, if I remove "choice 1" or change it to "selection 1" for instance, then all instances previously using that selection will then display "1". is there any way to prevent previously created pages from changes when the class changes?

by Pascal BASTIEN 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hello, On Xwiki 6.2.1, I'm fighting with $stringtool.contains http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/javadocs/api-3.1/org/apache/c… In my velocity code, I have #set($MyContent=$escapetool.xml($recentDoc.content)) $MyContent return {{box cssClass="floatinginfobox" title="**Sommaire**"}} {{toc numbered="true" depth="3"/}} {{/box}} {{numberedheadings/}} Bla bla I want to check if $MyContent contain this litteral string: {{box cssClass="floatinginfobox" title="**Sommaire**"}} I noticed than I can't escaping some characters ({ and ") with $stringtool.contains By example $stringtool.contains($MyContent,'box cssClass') working well but not $stringtool.contains($MyContent,'{box cssClass') I tried to escape characters with \ and/or ~ without success :-( Have you got an idea? thanks Pascal B

[xwiki-users] DBlist with external query data?
by Bryn Jeffries 08 Oct '14

08 Oct '14

Please forgive my ignorance, but is it possible to use DBList with queries to other databases? I'd very much like to use this element populated with the results from a query to another database running on the same server as XWiki, but the only documentation I can find describes queries of the XWiki database.
