[xwiki-users] rerun distribution wizard
by Kelly Steinke 20 Dec '16

20 Dec '16

I have recently upgraded from 3.5 to 5.5. The upgrade went fine however after logging in I accidentally hit the cancel button instead of the skip. I now want to rerun the Distribution Wizard but I cannot figure out how to re-trigger it. Can this be done?

[xwiki-users] RESTful API to create a new object of custom class?
by Ashtar Communications 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

Hi, Is it possible to create a new object of a custom class using the RESTful API? The documentation page only lists the following POST method, which doesn't accept a class name: /wikis/{wikiName}/spaces/{spaceName}/pages/{pageName}/objects[?start=offset&number=n] I have tried things like the following: curl -u Admin:admin -X POST -H "Content-type: text/plain" -H "Accept: application/xml" -d "@test.xml" http://localhost/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Test/pages/Test/objects/XWik… Where test.xml contains some variation on: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <properties xmlns="http://www.xwiki.org"> <property type="com.xpn.xwiki.objects.classes.TextAreaClass" name="Text"> <attribute value="Text" name="name"/> <attribute value="Test" name="prettyName"/> <attribute value="0" name="unmodifiable"/> <attribute value="0" name="disabled"/> <attribute value="100" name="size"/> <attribute value="10" name="rows"/> <attribute value="" name="customDisplay"/> <attribute value="Text" name="editor"/> <attribute value="6" name="number"/> <attribute value="0" name="picker"/> <attribute value="" name="validationMessage"/> <attribute value="" name="validationRegExp"/> <value> This is some text. </value> </properties> Curl returns this: <html> <head> <title>Status page</title> </head> <body> <h3>The method specified in the request is not allowed for the resource identifi ed by the request URI</h3><p>You can get technical details <a href="http://www.w 3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.4.6">here</a>.<br> Please continue your visit at our <a href="/">home page</a>. </p> </body> </html> Simpler syntax without the XML file still fails for me. In fact, I can't seem to even get the basic "create object" method to work, even without the class. For example: curl -u Admin:admin -X POST http://localhost/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Test/pages/Test/objects Just comes back with a "malformed syntax" error. Is there an example anywhere of how to do this? Thank you, Aaron

[xwiki-users] Attachment- and extension problems, with related documentation questions for latest stable release
by Johan Eriksson 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

Hi! I performed my first install ever of xwiki today using the latest stable. Running with mysql (on separate hosts) as database. I've installed my servlet container on Centos 7, with java and tomcat versions as below: [root@tomcat-01]# java -version java version "1.7.0_85" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (rhel-2.6.1.2.el7_1-x86_64 u85-b01) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.85-b03, mixed mode) Installed Packages Name : tomcat Arch : noarch Version : 7.0.54 Release : 2.el7_1 Since this is my first xwiki installation ever, I would like to share my experience, problems I faced and unanswered questions below. >From http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationTomcat I thought that as per example, java settings: JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx800m -XX:MaxPermSize=192m" would allow me to install and play around with the application, since that recommendation is higher than the "small installation" (512M) reference found here http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Performances#HMemory * My first problem appeared when I right after successful installation, in the sandbox, created an empty testpage with one attachment of 3M in size. I got an OutOfMemory exception when deleting that attachment. - Are the documented java memory recommendations still applicable or should they be considered as outdated for latest stable? so I updated the java settings to solve the problem: JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx1400m -XX:MaxPermSize=192m" * My second problem appeared when I created my first page. The intention was to create a page with a bunch of image attachments, using an extension for displaying these images as an image gallery. When uploading 116 images of individual size ~ 3M, a total size of 374M. Uploading of files failed after 80 something files had been uploaded to the page. The disk space on the servlet container server host was full. In /var/cache/tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost/xwiki/xwiki-temp/attachment-cache a total of 6.3G of data had been stored. - Looking at the checksum of the 2000 something files stored in this directory there are 86 unique files some of which stored in 29 copies during the upload process. Is this a desired behavior of the attachment cache, or is this a bug? * My third problem was when trying to install an extension. I was really curious about, and wanted to test, the social login application, that even is referred to from the administration guide http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Authentication#HSocialL…. This extension does not install at all on the latest stable. My java knowledge is limited, but, I interpret the error message as failure to satisfy requirement of servlet api version 2.5 (maybe since latest stable xwiki has servlet version prereq of 3.0+). - Since the documentation only exist in one latest version, should I as user assume that the documentation is applicable for latest development-, stable- or long term release? Now, it might be bad luck, or my failure to understand the xwiki release process, that my first three tests of the software failed with problems. I will now try the long term support release hoping that I successfully can add attachments and install extensions according to my requirements. Best regards Johan Eriksson

[xwiki-users] FAQ Application tutorial is incomprehensible
by Alex Henrie 13 Sep '15

13 Sep '15

Hi, I need to modify an XWiki application to add some functionality, but I am new to XWiki and I am having a really hard time understanding it. I'm running XWiki Enterprise 7.1.2. The FAQ application tutorial <http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorialManual> looks promising, but the instructions are outdated and I can't figure out how to get a finished product that looks like what the tutorial has. The following instructions are particularly problematic: > In the code, change the word "Main" with the name of the space where you want you FAQ pages to be created There is no word "Main". > If you click on "View the template document" and edit that page in wiki mode, you will see the following code: {{include document="FAQ.FAQClassSheet"/}} The page is blank, I don't see any code. > Use the Create top level menu (when using the Colibri skin) or the Create Panel to create the FAQ.WebHome page I don't see anything marked "Create". Is there an experienced XWiki developer who would be willing to go through the FAQ application tutorial and rewrite it to make sense for the latest version of XWiki? More generally, it would be very helpful to have a glossary that defines and relates terms like "application", "page", "document", "object", "property", "class", "template", and "template provider". These terms are used in the documentation with little or no explanation, which adds to the confusion. -Alex

[xwiki-users] Creating a new page creates a space instead
by junglur 02 Sep '15

02 Sep '15

I've tried searching but can't seem to find anything relevant I have a fresh install of Enterprise 7.2 Milestone 1. Everything seems to be running ok except for 1 thing. This problem seems to be the same on the standalone installer and by installing via the WAR package. When I click on add and select page it takes me to a page titled "Create Page" looks the same as the online playground. The problem is when I give the page a name and click create it creates a new space instead. For example, if I click in to "Sandbox" and then do create page leaving location as "Sandbox" and then put in a page name of "TestPage" and then click create. It takes me me to the WYSIWYG editor where I can put in content. I then put in some random content for test purposes and click save and view. Everything looks fine on that front. Now if I go back to the dashboard however it lists under spaces "Sandbox.TestPage" It seems to be creating a new space instead of a page. I have gone to the online playground on the xwiki.org website and tried the same thing and it seems to be working as expected, creates a page and not another space. I have attached a screenshot below, you can see I've tried a couple times with no luck. Any help would be appreciated. <http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/file/n7595617/spaces.png> -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Creating-a-new-page-creates-a-space-inste… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
