[xwiki-users] MyXWiki: migrate users to a permanent XWiki instance
by Gerritjan Koekkoek 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

Hi, The last half year we have used a free wiki from myXWiki.org, thanks a lot. Now we have decides to have a dedicated XWiki. Is it possible to migrate the local users in that myXWiki instance to the new wiki. I tried to export one user as XAR and import it, but it does not convert to a user-object The same problem with a macro page with the XWikiMacro and XWikiMacroParameters objects. It results in empty wiki pages in the new wiki myXWiki = 7.3 The new wiki is on 6.4.x So maybe a downgrade export/import not possible?

[xwiki-users] PDF Viewer - on demand configuration
by Paul Pinkerton (ACLCO) 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

I'm trying to setup an information page and wanted to see if someone has any ideas on how I can do this more easily. Since this is for several annual event information pages, doing the maintenance post-event to move/ delete 20+ pages each time is not a feasible solution. Here's my idea for a 'better way' I have a single Agenda page which shows the overall agenda for the event. Each session is linked to a specific information page for that session. (This is already in place). All of these info pages are essentially PDF's which I'm using the PDFViewer macro to display (primarily to resolve user-browser handling of PDFs differences). The pages also have handouts attached as documents - and displayed in-page using the AttachmentViewer macro. This is all working, but I would like to see if on the Agenda page, the link could go to a SINGLE PDF Viewer page that would display the appropriate PDF for the link clicked. I'm likely going to move all of the attachments to a single page anyway, so that's not particularly an issue. I don't know if the link on the agenda page can act like a form submission and configure the PDFViewer on-click to display different PDF's. Your thoughts? Paul Pinkerton KnowledgeNow Project/ ACLCO

[xwiki-users] Prevent editing in editmode
by Peter Huisman 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Hi, I have an object on a page. Once in edit mode, I want certain properties of the object not to be editable. This in itself is not an issue since I can display the value using $object.getValue(‘propertyname’). I have however a custom displayer in place for this property which is activated using $doc.display($propertyname.getName()). Is it possible to use this displayer in edit mode? With kind regards, Peter

[xwiki-users] calling a java component from JavaScriptExtension
by gervwyk 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Is it possible to call a java component from a JavaScriptExtension? like this: In javascript: require(['jquery'], function ($) { $('#ToJava').click(function(){ var returnValue = $services.mycomponent.mymethod( someNumber ); // use return value }); }); In java: public int mymethod(int num){ return num +1; } I know that I can do the ajax round trip and invoke the method through velocity: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/AJAX+example -- just wondering if there is a way to shortcut this process by avoiding velocity and only working in js? or is my logic flawed? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/calling-a-java-component-from-JavaScriptE… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Shortcut to another wiki in panel
by Merritt, Cris 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Hi all, XWiki newbie here, just setting up XWiki for my company. In addition to the Main wiki, I have created 2 other wikis, say “Development” and “Support”. Currently I can only switch among the wikis via the Wiki Index (in fact, the other wikis do appear in the breadcrumb widget at the top, but not when in the Main wiki). I would like to put shortcuts to each wiki in the left panel, ideally with an icon and the wiki name. However, I have not found an out-of-the-box way to do this. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you. Regards, Cris

[xwiki-users] Returning JSON data from a java component
by gervwyk 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

What is the best way to get JSON data from a java component. In my java component I'm compiling JSONObjects and JSONArrays, I would like to return this data to my velocity script in JSON format, is this possible? something like: {{velocity wiki="false"}} #if("$!request.outputSyntax" != '') $response.setContentType('application/json') #end #set($map = []) #set ($rightIN = ${request.rightIN}) #set ($spacenameIN = ${request.spacenameIN}) #set($disgard = $map.add($services.g_pagebuilder.userAccessFindPages($spacenameIN,$rightIN ))) $jsontool.serialize($map) {{/velocity}} and the Java: public JSONObject javacomp(String spacenameIN, String rightIN ){ JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(); try { obj.put("spacenameIN ", spacenameIN ); obj.put("rightIN", rightIN ); } catch (JSONException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return obj; } At the end I would like to access this json object as a data return from an ajax call. Is this possible?

[xwiki-users] Custom display for computed field which is list of users
by Mark Sack 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

In 7.4, I've created an app within minutes. One of the properties in the app is a computed field that returns a list of users that meet some specific criteria. If I leave the custom display field for the property blank, the contents are displayed as follows: [XWiki.john_smith, XWiki.mark_sack] What I would really like to do is display them as hyperlinks to the corresponding user page. I thought that I could use a script in the custom display field to accomplish this. Reading the following note http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/Which+variables+I+can+use+in+%22Cus… there are some variables available. It looks like the $value variable should contain the computed list of users. But if I put a script like the following into the custom display field: {{velocity}} $name $prefix $object $type $value {{/velocity}} the result is as follows Usuarios Secti.Admin.Setores.Code.SetoresClass_0_ com.xpn.xwiki.api.Object@543f3466 view $value The first four values are correct as far as I can tell. But the $value variable does not appear to be populated. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can achieve my desired result with the hyperlinks? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Custom-display-for-computed-field-which-i… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Problems setting up multilingual site
by Mark Sack 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

With XWiki 7.4 I have a site setup in Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR). I edited the localization settings as follows: Multilingual - Yes Supported languages - pt_BR, en Default language - pt_BR After saving the settings, the site looks like it switches to the pt local (European Portuguese?). I can tell this because the pt local is much more sparsely translated. On the drop down menu on the right, I now see a Languages item with Portuguese and English options and selecting English switches the site to English. I go back to the drop down menu and select languages. But now I only see English - Portuguese is not listed as an available language. I tried to repeat the above with a fresh install. This time I first set the local to pt (no multilingual support) and verified that the site is switch to pt. Then I set the multilingual support to yes and added the en local (pt still the default). Now the site switches immediately to English and the only language available on the drop down menu on the right is English. I'd appreciate some help in setting up my site for multilingual support with both English and Brazilian Portuguese. Is there something I'm doing wrong? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Problems-setting-up-multilingual-site-tp7… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] XWikiRights for groups on page and children
by gervwyk 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

Good day. I'm trying to write a java component to set rights to a space and the space children. Normally, the user would set this on the space when clicking on administer page>users and groups>Rights: page and children, where the user can set access rights for a group to effect the space and its children. I'm trying to achieve this with a java component and currently I'm attaching an XWikiRights object with the specified group and rights to the <space>.WebHome page. However, this only effects the one page and not the children, also view rights only leaves comment and page creating rights which is not desired. Am I understanding the rights objects wrong? How do I achieve this in Java, currently I have: XWikiDocument doc = xwiki.getDocument(docref, xcontext); // referance to the <space>.WebHome DocumentReference classdoc = createDocumentReference(xwikiName,"XWiki","XWikiRights",false); BaseObject DSErightsobj = doc.newXObject(classdoc, xcontext); DSErightsobj.set("groups", DSEname, xcontext); DSErightsobj.set("users", "", xcontext); DSErightsobj.set("levels", "view", xcontext); // space right DSErightsobj.set("allow", 1, xcontext); xwiki.saveDocument(doc, xcontext); -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/XWikiRights-for-groups-on-page-and-childr… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
