[xwiki-users] Reusing macro
by tullio0106 30 May '14

30 May '14

I'm quite new in XWiki. I've a Velocity macro of some lines (say 10) I need to use in many pages. I'd like to avoid to repeat such lines for every page. Is it possible to store such macro (with or without parameters) and reuse it everyware ?

Hi i isolated my problem to the code with the example xml test.xml <http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/file/n7590747/test.xml> The error is I am new to REST and have no idea what's wrong. The loaded xml from REST seems correct, the classes from the schema seem ok. You have any idea? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Example-RESTful-API-tp7590680p7590747.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Differences between extensions (observation Module)
by Danilo Amaral de Oliveira 29 May '14

29 May '14

Hello People, I am needing to create an observation module In my XWiki to monitor the comments creation actions of a specific space. All time that someone put a comment I need to send an email to a specific group. I have found these two instructions: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Observation+Module+Loc… http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/JavaScriptAPI When I use one or other? What is the event that the XWiki generates when someone input a comment? DocumentUpdatedEvent? Thanks! Danilo Grupo Energisa Danilo Oliveira Analista Suporte Aplicacao TI - DPTO CORP. DE INFRAESTR.

Tomorrow is again a bank holiday in France and I won’t be there and several xwiki committers won’t be here either (Guillaume, Thomas, just to name a few). So if someone wants to organize an XWiki Day tomorrow please stand up! :) I’m sending a new mail on the devs list to decide what type of day to do next.

[xwiki-users] Multiple problems with PDF export!
by mctozzy＠gmail.com 29 May '14

29 May '14

Arghh! This is a bit disappointing - the PDF exporter seems a bit underbaked? * Bold face markup is lost on export. * Export of a slab of plain text wrapped in {{{ }}} loses newlines on export. * Box macro lost on export.

[xwiki-users] Importing XAR File Programatically
by Brockmeier, Chris S 29 May '14

29 May '14

Hey All, I've seen a couple of threads out in the web about importing an "XAR" file programatically, however it seems they might be out of date a bit. Has anyone had any luck using the API that xwiki has to do such a thing? Thanks, Chris.

Re: [xwiki-users] include problem with french characters
by vincent＠massol.net 28 May '14

Hi Pascal, Internally we generate an anchor id based on the heading text: /** * Generate a unique id attribute using the passed text as the seed value. The generated id complies with the XHTML * specification. Extract from <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_8">XHTML RFC</a>: * <p> * <code> When defining fragment identifiers to be backward-compatible, only strings matching the pattern * [A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9:_.-]* should be used.</code> * </p> * * @param prefix the prefix of the identifier. Has to match [a-zA-Z]. * @param text the text used to generate the unique id * @return the unique id. For example "Hello world" will generate prefix + "Helloworld". */ public String generateUniqueId(String prefix, String text) Called with: id = idGenerator.generateUniqueId("H", text); This is why for the text “Level1 - Séct-io'n 4” we generate “HLevel1-SE9ct-io27n4" What we could do though is allow the user to enter the heading text instead of the id and generate the id internally. However there’s stil the issue that generateUniqueId will generate a unique id (if you have twice the same heading, the second heading id will have “-1” suffixed.. In any case I agree it’s not user-friendly for this use case but also when specifying the anchor in the wiki link syntax and you should open a JIRA issue IMO.

[xwiki-users] include problem with french characters
by Pascal BASTIEN 28 May '14

28 May '14

Hello, The include function is to hard to use with some non-us character like french: éèà'ç ... By example, I have a document with this section: = Level1 - Séct-io'n 4 = Bla bla if I want to include this section: "Level1 - Séct-io'n 4" I must use this include {{include reference="Pagefille2" section="HLevel1-SE9ct-io27n4"/}} I must replace special character with unicode code: http://www.utf8-chartable.de/ I can use another way? I must open a bug on http://jira.xwiki.org/ ? NB: anchor doesn't work with include.

I have been tasked with updating an older Xwiki site and am just looking for some info/links on what I am looking at. We are currently using 2.7.2 and I want to upgrade to the latest 5.4.4. How much info am I going to lose and can any of it be imported/exported? Thanks for any insight. I am new to xwiki and will be doing a lot of reading. Thanks all for any help or insight. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Massive-upgrade-tp7590389.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] XWiki Documentation day - Idea
by Danilo Amaral de Oliveira 28 May '14

28 May '14

Hello XWiki community, I have been following other open source communities and there one, the XenServer community, that has a nice initiative, the Xen Document Day: http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Document_Days/TODO " Xen Project document days are all day IRC events, facilitated by members of the Xen Project community. The purpose of Xen Project Document Days is to Improve user documentation Improve developer documentation, including the creation of man pages, etc. Improve and maintaining the wiki: this means fixing important pages, retiring old ones, help identify what is and isn't important, write new pages, etc." Do you think that this idea could be applicable to XWiki?
