[xwiki-users] Attachments on new pages that contain 'Objects' of 'Class'.
by Gerritjan Koekkoek 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

XWiki has the nice feature of Class and Class related sheets and templates. I feel there is a annoying bug with regard to uploading attachments, although XWiki experts explain why it's happening. (they do not confirm it's a BUG!!) When you create a Class, Sheet and Template there is a moment to add a new-object on a page. In XWiki you could, like app-within-minutes, create a button: Create new "record of something" The user will then see a new-page in inline edit mode (a html form) and usually a few buttons: Save and View, Save and Continue and Cancel. I think the last one: 'Cancel' is why the 'In my opinion BUG' is happening. The new document and object are not yet saved... You are first considered to fill in the form and when you reconsider or not able to fill in all the required fields there is 'Cancel'; nothing saved and gentle exit (although sometimes you get: XWiki document does not exist, a smarter CANCEL that would redirect you to the page with the creation option...) But now about my BUG; If the form contains a option to upload a attachment (like the avatar image on XWikiUsers) we get very user unfriendly things. The explanation of the error is; you can not attach anything to a page not yet saved! But the results are quite dramatic; a page, sometimes two are created, but not containing any object (so all the data in the form is lost). The user is not informed about what happened... What coding can be done to prevent the above.. Why I consider it a BUG? The same problem occurs when you have a Large Text field with the wysywig editor. This editor has a button 'Image' or 'Attachment'. How can we then prevent the problem occurring? Gerritjan

[xwiki-users] Edit many Object Values in one page/table
by Matthias Wegner 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Hi Devs, i want to set a table where i can edit many objects from an "AppWithinAMinute". I want to edit the values directly in the table and save them, so it the changing of values is faster (less clicks) possible. Did anyone of you something similar before?

[xwiki-users] Menu Application access for Unregistered Users
by DeHaynes 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

I am in a private wiki site used for documentation. You must be a user to see anything, so "Unregistered Users" can only see the login page. On my wiki I am using the "Menu Application", which unregistered users do not have access to. So on the login page there is an error "Failed to execute the [include] macro". The long version says org.xwiki.rendering.macro.MacroExecutionException: Current user [XWiki.XWikiGuest] doesn't have view rights on document [xwiki:Menu.Wiki Level Menu] This is correct. I don't want XWikiGuest to see the menu. Any idea how I could get rid of the error? I tried searching and found references to xwiki.hasAccessLevel. Am I on the right track? I am using XWiki 5.4.2 with MySQL and Tomcat 7 -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Menu-Application-access-for-Unregistered-… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Upload error (XWiki 4.0)
by Hamster 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Today a user tried, but failed, to upload a document to our XWiki 4.0 It was an existing document, so XWiki should have created a new version. So I tried to upload the file myself, but... Uploading file to PAGE_NAME Message Failed to upload one file. Internal failure while attaching: NAME_OF_DOCUMENT: NullPointerException. Not a lot of info, clicking on the "NullPointerExceptio" does not reveal any more info. The PDF is only 9Mb...so that should not be a problem, right? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Upload-error-XWiki-4-0-tp7589754.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] xwiki spaces access rights
by Kelly Goedert 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Hi, I just installed xwiki. Reading about access rights I got the impression that I could use spaces, to determine which user can access a group of pages. I wanted to have a wiki, so I could work in collaboration with my clients on some documents. Since client A cannot be allowed to access client B information, I thought spaces would solve that problem. So I created two spaces. ClientA and ClientB spaces. I also created two groups called clientA and clientB. And two users user1 and user2. User1 is part of group clientA and user2 is part of group clientB. In each space administration page only one of the groups has all the boxes checked. All the other boxes are unchecked. But if I log with user1 that belongs to clientA I can view and edit pages of clientB space. How can I restrict things so that user1 can only view/edit/delete on pages that are on space clientA?
