[xwiki-users] [ANN] Sponsoring an XWiki issue
by Eduard Moraru 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Hello XWiki community members, Do you have an issue that is very important to you, but nobody seems to notice even if you`ve reported it a while ago? About a month ago we have included in our issue tracker ( http://jira.xwiki.org ) the ability to sponsor an issue. Have you seen that green link on the right side ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Community/Contributing/sponsorIssue… ), that`s it! :) We did not get much of a reaction until now, so I should maybe try to present it properly to the community and see what people think; if it's a good idea or not; if it`s going to work out or if we should dump it. The idea is simple and is described in our Contributing page ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Contributing#HSponsoringissues ). Basically, you see an issue that you really want someone to fix and you offer yourself to sponsor it, in the hopes of motivating people to prioritize your issue above all others. Other people may join in and increase the sponsored amount any time, so the chances of the issue to be fixed will grow accordingly. You do this by clicking the green "Sponsor" link on the right side of the issue, getting redirected to the FreedomSponsors.org website, fill in the details and wait for the magic to happen. At this point, any member of the community with developer skills can see your issue above others and have a go at it. When he is done and you are happy with the work, you can reward him with the promised amount. More details on the technicalities can be found on their FAQ ( https://freedomsponsors.org/faq ). Among the advantages, I can list: - Prioritize your issue above others - Reward people for their time spent on helping you out with your needs - A way to sponsor open source hard work done on the XWiki project Let us know what you think about this initiative. Thanks, Eduard

[xwiki-users] Using HTML5 File Upload Widget for non-XWiki files
by Bryn Jeffries 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

I'd like to upload files through a custom File Upload servlet that runs from the same Tomcat server but is not part of XWiki. This servlet does some file processing and stores the file in a separate area away from the XWiki attachments, and it's possible that eventually this servlet might be moved to another server as processing demands change. Is it possible to make use of the supplied XWiki UI widgets to upload to this servlet? Any guidance on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

[xwiki-users] How to get The jobExecutor
by Stefan Bernsdorf 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

Hi, I wanted to use the snip from page http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Job+Module .... Request jobRequest = new DefaultRequest(); // Indicate an id to allow you to access the status of this unique task, the id is required to save/retrieve the status of the job jobRequest.setId("taskid"); // Allow the job to ask questions during its executing (false by default) jobRequest.setInteractive(true); // [since 5.4] Indicate if the job should log informations about what is going on (to display it during the process for example, true by default) jobRequest.setVerbose(true); // Put some custom configuration jobRequest.setProperty("some custom jobtype related parameter", "value"); // Lookup and execute Job with role hint "jobtype" and wait for it to be finished jobManager.executeJob("jobtype", request) // Lookup and add Job with role hint "jobtype" to the queue queue and return right away Job job = jobManager.addJob("jobtype", request) // Wait until the job is finished job.join() .. to be able to create my own job and job request. But how is the jobManager injected? When I use the snip, the the jobManager is null.

[xwiki-users] localization string missing - xe.blog.code.title
by Ricardo.Julio.Rodriguez.Fernandez＠sergas.es 14 Nov '14

14 Nov '14

Hi everybody!!! Please, allow me some small talk... I'm really happy to be here again once I've managed to get and start enjoying a brand new 6.2.4. XWiki installation! Only a detail: after following the evolution of the 6.x branch and having installed the new 6.2.4 release, a string seems to keep lacking affecting the renderization of Blog.WebHome. Here it is what I see not only here, but in a number of installations around the net... http://atriumkm.idisantiago.es/bin/download/ICT/Images/blogLocalizationMiss… I guess you get the same result by accessing directly this site... http://idis1.idisantiago.es:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/ Please, even though it is kind of a trivial problem not affecting, shouldn't it be fixed? Thanks!

[xwiki-users] permissions issue
by Paul Pinkerton (ACLCO) 14 Nov '14

14 Nov '14

I am struggling with a page permissions issue. What am I doing wrong here? I have done this before, but it doesn't seem to be working this time. I have a SPACE that is only available to a specific GROUP. That seems to be working just fine. I have a PAGE in that SPACE that I only want a specific USER (in the GROUP) to be able to access. I set the permissions for the GROUP to deny on that PAGE and explicitly gave the USER permission. The issue is that anyone in the GROUP can still ACCESS the PAGE. Am I missing something?

Re: [xwiki-users] Using HTML5 File Upload Widget for non-XWiki files

Thanks. I'd looked at the DevGuide document before and been none the wiser, but it's just dawned on me that the example code is JavaScript (I'd assumed Groovy or Velocity), so XWiki.File Upload must be a JS library function. Sometimes it's hard to know what things are XWiki magic and what's basic website programming. Thanks for the single origin link. Looks like I can set the origin to the common suffix of my two servers. ----- Reply message ----- From: "Marius Dumitru Florea" <mariusdumitru.florea(a)xwiki.com> To: "XWiki Users" <users(a)xwiki.org> Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Using HTML5 File Upload Widget for non-XWiki files Date: Thu, Nov 13, 2014 20:56 See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/HTML5Upload for how to use the file upload widget inside XWiki. Note that if you want to submit the file to a different server you will hit the https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Same-origin_policy problem. Also note that the file upload widget uses the native File Upload API provided by the browser. Read more about it here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Using_files_from_web_applications .

[xwiki-users] Subwiki - How to prevent automatic local user creation ?
by Ryszard Łach 13 Nov '14

13 Nov '14

Hi. I've the following configuration: * XWIki Enterprise 5.4.5 with path-based subwikis * Main wiki using LDAP (AD) authentication * Subwiki with "both local and global users" I'm trying do configure it so, that Global users will be authenticated by AD (possibly with some AD-to-Wiki group mappings) and Local users will be authenticated against xwiki database. It's almost working. If the Global user is logged in to the main wiki and then goes to the subwiki - he/she can use it as Global user (which can be checked looking at the 'profile' or 'preferences' urls included in the heading bar). But if the user without prior logging to the main wiki goes straight to subwiki and enters his AD credentials - a new Local user is being created. Is there a way to prevent the Local user creation? I suppose, that changing xwiki.authentication.ldap.trylocal to '0' in xwiki.cfg is not the solution - I'll lose the ability to have local users in subwiki, right? In the main wiki it is desire'able, it allows easy joining for each AD user. TIA, R.

[xwiki-users] Not able to read attachments from server thread
by Stefan Bernsdorf 13 Nov '14

13 Nov '14

Hi, I created a Macro in xwiki. In this macro a server process is started that tries to read attachments. For this, I created a XWikiCOntext to access the Wiki. This is the code: XWikiStubContextProvider prov=Utils.getComponent(XWikiStubContextProvider.class); prov.initialize(template); XWikiContext con=prov.createStubContext(); con.setUser("XWiki.TestProcess", true); con.setVirtual(true); Unfortunately it is not possible to access the attachment content using this context. The following error is thrown: com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 3231 in 3: Exception while loading attachment myseedfile.dgn of document microtest_oto.Templates_Test-Stefan at com.xpn.xwiki.store.XWikiHibernateAttachmentStore.loadAttachmentContent(XWikiHibernateAttachmentStore.java:233) at com.xpn.xwiki.doc.XWikiDocument.loadAttachmentContent(XWikiDocument.java:4600) at com.xpn.xwiki.doc.XWikiAttachment.getContentInputStream(XWikiAttachment.java:576) at org.centauron.xwiki.help.XWikiAttachmentCopy.doCommand(XWikiAttachmentCopy.java:79) .... Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Stefan.

[xwiki-users] Upgrade 0.9.840 version to Latest version.
by Manjunath Kashyap 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

Hi All, We are currently using the 0.9.840 version of Xwiki. We are planning to upgrade the wiki to the latest version so as to include all the new features provided by xwiki. I searched almost everywhere for a good resource for upgrading the wiki, but in vain. Can someone guide me on this to accomplish this task? This is a very significant step in expanding our business with the xwiki team. Thanks, Kashyap.
