[xwiki-users] [Proposal] Comparing XWiki to MediaWiki and Confluence on xwiki.org
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 22 Sep '17

22 Sep '17

Hi, Since we had users asking on the IRC what are the differences between XWiki and other solutions, it would be a good idea to provide such pages on the website: - XWiki and MediaWiki http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/XWiki-vs-MediaWiki - XWiki and Confluence http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/XWiki-vs-Confluence It would be great to know if you agree with the listed content and if you find other similarities or distinctions between the above solutions. Additionally, what other solutions would you be interested in seeing comparison with? Thanks, Caty

[xwiki-users] Bounced Emails
by Keith Davis 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

My subscription keeps getting disabled due to excessive bounces. I would understand that if I was still hosting my web host's email server, but I'm not having email send to my Gmail account. Any ideas what would be causing that? -- Keith Davis 214-906-5183

[xwiki-users] XWiki 6.1 - Share page by email - error
by Sully, Henri-Robert 09 Feb '17

09 Feb '17

Hi, We have an xwiki 6.1 installation and we can't figure out the « Share page by email » function. It works very well for Admin users, but it doesn't work for regular users. We get an error message saying "Error: The message could not be sent to userX : email server error." (Or in French : Le message n'a pas pu être envoyé à UserX : Erreur du serveur email.) It's the same error message seen for this problem (look at the error.png attachment) : http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XE-1451 It looks like a permission problem, but I don't where to look. The stack trace on the other hand says that there is an illegal semicolon somewhere in the address field, which prevents the MailSenderPlugin from sending the email. Again, only for regular users, Admins are OK. I've intercepted the http requests with Fiddler, even look at the POST payload and I don't see any semicolon. View the stack trace here: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/acafd8dfd501596ff94c2277982867d4 Can someone provide some insight? Best regards, Henri-Robert Sully

[xwiki-users] [ANN] First version of the XWiki docker packaging
by Vincent Massol 09 Feb '17

09 Feb '17

Hi everyone, I’ve started a first version of a XWiki docker packaging at https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/docker-xwiki and I’ve created an automated build on DockerHub at https://hub.docker.com/u/xwiki/. The goal is to provide an official packaging done by the XWiki dev team. Since I’m a recent user of Docker I’m sure I’ve made plenty of mistakes and not following some best practices, even though I’ve tried my best to do that ;) So it would be great if: * Some users could try it out and let me know how it works * Users could tell me what they’d expect in term of setup from a docker distribution. * Some Docker experts review my code and let me know what I should improve! After I receive some confirmation that it works well-enough, my goal is to document it as an official way of installing xwiki on xwiki.org. Feel free to create jiras for ideas and bugs at http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XDOCKER. Thanks a lot! -Vincent PS: Note that I’m sure some will want a different DB, such as postgreSQL for example. That should be easy to do. Pull request accepted! :)

[xwiki-users] Editing text in box in WYSIWYG mode
by WikiNote Org 03 Feb '17

03 Feb '17

I use box macro to include the summary of page. But editing that summary needs editing box macro Content. In such editing we can't simply use the WYSIWYG. That means, I am forced to write the content in wiki code, which I want to avoid. It would be nice if I could edit text in box in WYSIWYG mode like a normal text editing (like Word Processor). Any help appreciated..

[xwiki-users] Xwiki in FreeBSD jail?
by Oliver Angélil 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

Dear all, I am reading these <http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/BSD_Install#Attachments> installation instructions. Is installing Xwiki inside a freebsd jail <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBSD_jail> the recommended method? I.e. is it "strongly" recommend or is there not much to gain either way. Thanks, Oliver
