[xwiki-users] [myxwiki] new wiki request
by Steven Kriel 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Good Day, I am acquainted with several members of my local university's (Stellenbosch University in South Africa) interpretation service. They sit in on various classes and interpreted between Afrikaans and English in real time for students who do not understand Afrikaans. Naturally they need a list of technical terms for each subject. Currently this lists is maintained and updated using excel en dropbox causing endless headaches. I have experience in using XWiki enterprise at my job. I want to show the interpreters a 'proof of concept' way of maintaining term lists (and other information) on a wiki. If the concept is well received, we will be able to convince our information technology department to host a server. Until then, I need an easily accessible wiki. It is for this reason I request a wiki on MyXWiki.org. Kind Regards, Steven Kriel

Is there nothing else? Actually this page links to the precise documentation :) See http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Query+Module#HXWQLImpl… which points to https://raw.github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwik… This is the more precise documentation you’ll ever find (even though it may not be very easy to read) :) Hope it helps -Vincent > Matthias > > Am 12.02.2014 19:39, schrieb vincent(a)massol.net: > > Hi Matthias, > > > > > > On 12 Feb 2014 at 19:26:23, Matthias Albert ([email protected](mailto:[email protected])) wrote: > > > >> After searching for documentation on XWQL I found comprehensive > >> documentation about HQL > >> (http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/3.3/reference/en/html/queryhql.html) > > > > The key is to google for “xwiki XWQL” and you should get: > > http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Query+Module > > > >> Could someone give me a hint to existing XWQL description, please?

[xwiki-users] XWQL documentation
by Matthias Albert 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

After searching for documentation on XWQL I found comprehensive documentation about HQL (http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/3.3/reference/en/html/queryhql.html) Could someone give me a hint to existing XWQL description, please? I am interested since XWQL seems to be more compact than HQL. Thanks, Matthias

[xwiki-users] Security concern
by Gerritjan Koekkoek 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

This is about a Wiki page with an object of a class. When a sheet is attached it will display the object in that sheet. But if in the sheet I will check on permission and deny access like the following code: #if($xwiki.getUser().isUserInGroup("XWiki.SomeGroup") ) ## ## User is allowed to see object ## If not Admin user, form should be readonly (no Edit)!! ## #showForm #else $msg.get('msg_permission_denied') #end Now the user will see a empty page with the error message: Permission denied. How secure is xwiki if the User would know the following url?http://SomeWiki/xwiki/bin/edit/SomeSpace/ProtectedObject?editor=object <http://cdlsworld.devxwiki.com/xwiki/bin/edit/CdlsatdPrivate/GerritjanKoekko…> I now assume this user would modify the url in the top of his/her screen Since the sheet is now bypassed this user would see all the object details; right? How can this be avoided; that users may not use the object editor?

[xwiki-users] [ANN] Realtime Collaborative Plain WikiText Editor and WEBSOCKET!
by Caleb James DeLisle 10 Feb '14

10 Feb '14

Hi all, I'm very pleased to announce two new extensions to come out of XWikiSAS Research and the RESILIENCE Research project. Number One: WebSockets in XWiki! If you're an extension developer like me, you want events, you want stuff in the browser to be talking to stuff in the wiki and you don't want to be messing around with Jetty and Tomcat and all different kinds of libraries and configuration every time you need to write an application. You just want stuff that works. Here it is: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/WebSocket Include this as a dependency for your extension and the Extension Manager will automatically include it when users install your extension. In just a few lines of code, your users can be chatting and collaborating through the websocket and it's based on Netty (Special thanks to the Atmosphere project for developing Nettosphere) so it works in all versions of Tomcat and Jetty and does not need any changes to the front-end server, just open a port on the JVM machine and you're done. Number Two: A new Realtime Collaborative WikiText Editor. Indeed this is not the first attempt at Realtime Collaborative editing but perhaps it is the most academically amusing. Really this is a prototype to get a handle on the technology before we make the leap into Realtime WYSIWYG. Whereas the previous Realtime Collaborative WikiText editor had performance issues and was unable to handle large pasted, the new editor uses a completely novel design which is intended to not only port well to WYSIWYG editing but is implemented entirely on the client with the server only relaying messages, making it portable to different web frameworks. Check out the Realtime Collaborative WikiText Editor here: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/RealTime+Wiki+Editor or install it with the Extension Manager to give it a try for yourself. Disclamer: This is still new and might not work properly on all browsers, it certainly will not work without websocket support. Thanks, Caleb

[xwiki-users] Multi-page Table of Contents
by Patrick Masson 09 Feb '14

09 Feb '14

I found this and would like to use it but it looks like it might not be current: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Multipage+Table+Of+Con… One reference I found suggested it is based on xwiki1.0. I tweaked it a bit but could not get the urls to replace the spaces in the page titles with the "+" Any advice? Also, perhaps the best approach is to use the "tree" functionality in the "Document Index?"

[xwiki-users] Translating from velocity to Groovy
by Danilo Amaral de Oliveira 07 Feb '14

07 Feb '14

Hello People, I am trying to translate the script below from velocity to groovy, but I am not getting success in the "map" variable translation, when I try to define more than 1 value in variable I get error. I will need it because I am passing information to a template email. Velocity #set($map= {'document':"$xwiki.getDocument()", 'url':"xwiki.getDocument().getExternalURL()"}) #set($discard = $xwiki.mailsender.sendMessageFromTemplate($defaultMail, "$recipients", $xwiki.null, $xwiki.null, "pt_BR", "PublicationWorkflow.MailTemplate : Refus de publication", $map)) My groovy def map = xwiki.null def result = xwiki.mailsender.sendMessageFromTemplate("${sender}", "danilo.oliveira(a)energisa.com.br", emailcc, emailbcc, "pt_BR", "MailTemplate : Aviso de Publicacao Topico", map) It will be part of a script to advice the wiki users that a topic was created in their forum. Anyone can help? Thank you! Grupo Energisa Danilo A.

[xwiki-users] AppWithinMinutes and more
by Matthias Albert 07 Feb '14

07 Feb '14

Hi, using the AppWithinMinutes extension, I managed to create a simple app for managing events. En Event class has properties like dateTime, place, description etc. I can create new Event class instances that are shown in an extra space with WebHome start page. The problem is that each event is displayed as an extra page document with a separate title. All pages have to have different names. We have many similar events that don't have a different title each. I dont't need a different page for each event. One idea I had is to use a single page that could dynamically display an event object, maybe via a request parameter. Is there any solution for that? Thanks in advance for any hint! Matthias
