[xwiki-users] Send data to Java component

by Giordano Ninonà

Hi devs, I am developing a sort of UI for my java component and I have encountered a problem: In a wiki page I've put some input text boxes(i.e. *Page name: <input type="text" name="pName" >*) in which the user will insert the information needed by the method that I want to invoke from Velocity when I push a button. I have tried some solution but I don't know how to do that, following the code in my page: *{{velocity}}* *#if("$!request.create" == 1)* * $services.evoS.addInstance("$type", "$pName", "$description")* *#end* *{{html}} * * <form action="" id="dataForm" method="POST">* * Page name: <input type="text" name="pName" value="$!pName"><br>* * Description: <input type="text" name="description" value="$!description"><br>* * Type: <input type="text" name="type" value="$!type"><br>* * <div>* * <input type="hidden" name="create" value="1"/> * * <span class="buttonwrapper">* * <input type="submit" value="Create" class="button"/>* * </span>* * </div>* *</form> * *{{/html}}* * {{/velocity}}* Thank you, Giordano.

[xwiki-users] How retrieve terminal pages

by Giordano Ninonà

Hi users, I have a problem with my Java component. I have a hjava method wich take as input 3 strings: wikiName, wikiSpace and the wiki page to retrieve the doc, thus the content and perform modification. Ok, when I try to delete a terminal page inside a nested page, there is no problem, the component retrieve the page's document and can delete it, it works! But when I want to delete a terminal page that is inside a nested page which is inside another nested page it stops working. The point is that I can't retrieve the terminal page's document, probably because of the wikiSpace variable. I have tried "NestedPage1.NestedPage2" but it is not woking at all, it is keep creating and successively deleting new documents(thus pages). Thank you, Giordano.

[xwiki-users] How do I enable login timeout?

by rbg

We are running XWiki Enterprise 7.3 and I would like to enable a 'login timeout'. Currently the users stay logged in even after the browser has been closed, which poses a security threat. So how do I set an idle time after which the users are logged out? Thanks!

[xwiki-users] myxwiki local user gets rights block on XWikiUserProfileSheet

[xwiki-users] Velocity documentation

by Giordano Ninonà

Hello users, I am wondering where can I find the Velocity documentation or guides to discover how this scripting language works. I am asking this because the " *Scripting"i* [1] and the "*Velocity Macro" *[2] pages explain almost anything about the usage of the language (syntax and semantic). [1] http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Scripting [2] http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Velocity+Macro Thank you, Giordano.

[xwiki-users] WYSIWYG editor sometimes adds grey background to text on backspace/delete

by Sunil Khiatani

Hi, I find that sometimes when I'm editing a page in XWiki part of the text will turn into a light grey background under certain situations. If I have two paragraphs, and I press delete or backspace so that the two paragraphs become one paragraph. One of the paragraphs will have a light grey background. Is there a way to turn this behavior off? Regards, Sunil

I agree about what you’ve said above. However I think the main problem comes from the fact that the user doesn’t know: * That he’s on a special page (home page). He sees himself/herself on the Main/WebHome page, i.e. in the Main space. * The user doesn’t realize that the home page of his/her wiki is a virtual page that can be configured to point to any page and that it just happens that by default it’s been set to point to Main.WebHome. * It can even be argued that the home page doesn’t exist and that the user is redirected to the page configured in the main wiki’s descriptor, i.e. Main.WebHome and thus when you click “+” to add a new page you’re not on the home page anywhere but on Main.WebHome. So, I see 2 choices: 1) Option A, i.e. "drop use case 1 (i.e. always propose the current page as parent of the new page, regardless if the current page is the homepage or not)." 2) Find a way to make the home page special and different from Main.WebHome. It could be a special URL as suggested by Guillaume in a previous post, such as http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/ and it would redirect to a special resource type for the home page, which would be served as a template. For example: http://localhost:8080/xwiki/home. This would be easy to implement. Of course we would keep the ability to configure where the home page of the main wiki points to in the Admin UI and /home would be used only when no custom configuration is defined so that it would still be easy for users to configure what they want to display on the home page. In order to make it simpler we could even introduce a "Home Page” entry in the Admin UI. We would also need to find some different content for Main.WebHome. I haven’t thought about all the consequences of 2) but at first sight it seems it could be something that could work and could even solve the issue we currently have of it being hard to edit. Note that the home page wouldn’t have an Edit button. Seen differently, the home page would be controllable only by an Admin, which IMO can make sense. So, all in all, I think I’d be in favor of solution 2) (unless some gotchas). Barring that, I’d prefer solution 1) instead of option B above. WDYT?
