[xwiki-users] column name in LiveTable rendered by documents macro
by Jason Clemons 22 Jan '15

22 Jan '15

Hello all, I've changed the columns that are rendered in my space index by adding a "columns" attribute as described by the article here http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Documents+Macro and the column I added does show up as expected (doc.creator), but the header column for my added columns label is "platform.index.doc.creator" I'd like to change it to "Creator" but nothing I do seems to work..any help is greatly appreciated.

[xwiki-users] [ANN] XWiki 6.4 Released
by vincent＠massol.net 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki 6.4. The 6.4 release is the last major release of the 6.x development Cycle and as such was mainly dedicated to improvements and bugfixes on things introduced during 6.X. This version introduces some developer oriented improvements: allow wiki based skins to overwrite macro.vm template, allow filesystem skins indicating explicitly the skin they are inheriting from, allow any component to be injected with its ComponentDescriptor, Panels and UI extensions are now executed with the right of their author so among other things they can use APIs requiring Programming rights. It also brings UI improvements in the Menu application, a new Mail application (and Mail-related improvements, such as the ability to send massive number of emails) and lots of Flamingo skin improvements (Mobile-friendliness to mention one), while offering developers the ability to write LESS in Skin Extensions, and a cool icon picker. Last but not least, this version provides the ability to rate Extensions inside the Extension Repository and visualise them inside the Extension Manager. You can download it here: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download Make sure to review the release notes: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki64 Thanks -The XWiki dev team

[xwiki-users] Handling arrays in forms
by Bryn Jeffries 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

In PHP it is acceptable for forms to have arrays. For example, from http://php.net/manual/en/faq.html.php#faq.html.arrays the following form could be submitted: <form action="" method="post"> <input name="MyArray[]" value=1 /> <input name="MyArray[]" value=2 /> <input name="MyArray[]" value=3 /> <input name="MyArray[]" value=4 /> <input type="Submit" /> </form> And in PHP the submitted inputs would be available as an array at $_POST['MyArray'] Out of curiosity, does XWiki have any similar support for form arrays? I tried a simple example, for which the returned result was a single value ("1"). Does this mean XWiki ignores multiple request parameters of the same name, or is there another way? {{groovy}} def values = request.get('MyArray[]') println "${values.getClass()}" println "${values}" {{/groovy}} {{html}} <form action="" method="post"> <input name="MyArray[]" value=1 /> <input name="MyArray[]" value=2 /> <input name="MyArray[]" value=3 /> <input name="MyArray[]" value=4 /> <input type="Submit" /> </form> {{/html}}

[xwiki-users] Beginner's struggle with configuration
by Marcin Kolenda 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

I am very interested about putting my own xwiki but I've been messing with it and some problems came out. At first i thought it would be good to make subwiki's for "Programming", "Linux", "Mathematics". I could make template wiki and derive extensions and settings from it but how can I install additional extension to all of wiki's then? I have also modified my "Preview" page when I made my first article. I've clicked preview, saw typo, and clicked edit.. After some struggle with editing this article I've modified this preview page unwittingly. After some modifications I removed all previous revisions. What can I do in such cases besides reinstalling everything? I would like to solve such problems by myself in the future so if it's possible, please, give me workflow, not a single solution. I want also to have navigation for entire wiki with subwikis like: #Programming -> Language Scala -> Design patterns #Linux -> Settings -> Tools #Mathematics -> Linear algebra -> Calculus where ("#" -> wiki), ("->" -> space) I think I could make "Navbar" panel in global wiki and add "xwiki:Panels.Navbar" to all subwiki's. But now the work needed to add it everywhere is overwhelming. Is it possible to do it in config file? I do not like cms such as drupal for the problems with configuration by clicking. I could spend days to make everything ticking in my way. From the other way it's good for giving power to the users. Best wishes, for community and developers xwiki seems to be professional and awesome.

We’re currently lacking an escape tool for wiki syntax AFAIK and I remember seeing a JIRA issue about this (can’t find it right now).

[xwiki-users] Generating pure JSON with Velocity
by Bryn Jeffries 17 Jan '15

17 Jan '15

I'd like to be able to generate pure JSON from a wiki page, to use in other pages via AJAX. To that end I created a page with the following content: {{velocity wiki="false"}} $response.setContentType('application/json') { "greeting" : "Hello", "location": "World" } {{/velocity}} Calling this via /xwiki/bin/get/Sandbox/JsonTest I get the following code (as reported by FireBug): <p><br/>{<br/>"greeting" : "Hello",<br/>"location": "World"<br/>}</p> I get the same via /xwiki/bin/view/AlertDB/JsonTest?xpage=plain (as suggested in http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-3413) Is there a way to produce pure JSON by a velocity script by some variation of my approach?

by Pascal BASTIEN 15 Jan '15

Hello, To make it work I add this new property in XWiki.XWikiUsers class: /bin/edit/XWiki/XWikiUsers?editor=class Name: doc.creationDate Type: String PrettyName: Creation date Custom Display: {{velocity}} {{html}}<i>$value</i>{{/html}} {{/velocity}} The problem is that "Custom display" is not taking into account and not rendering. I know HTML is not interpreted but I want to remove time of "Creation date" field but "Custom Display" is apparently not used on a database field. Here a screenshot on what I want: http://snag.gy/bWnu9.jpg Do you have an idea how I must do it? Is it normal than "Custom Display" is not used? Thxs for any help Pascal BASTIEN
