[xwiki-users] [Proposal] Comparing XWiki to MediaWiki and Confluence on xwiki.org

by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica)

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

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] [UX] Administration Improvements

by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica)

Hi, We are thinking about improving the Administration, so would be great to hear your opinion about: 1. what sections are always needed and maybe we could prioritize them; 2. what sections could be grouped together, since they are related; 3. what sections are not relevant and could be removed (maybe because they are too technical, or not needed or rarely used); 4. if there are important recurring things missing from administration; 5. other ideas? We are particularly interested in 1. and that is sections that are used often and would love to know which are those (since they differ so much depending on usage). Let us know, Caty

[xwiki-users] Adding Macro as Buttons in CKEditor

by Mahomed Hussein

Hi With the editor in XWiki < v9.0.0 (GWT Editor), I could add different buttons and macros onto the toolbar by modifying the configuration and adding “macro:macroName” as a toolbar “feature”. Has anyone got a simple step by step instructions for adding the same thing in CKEditor? I’ve tried looking at the documentation, but it doesn’t immediately or easily relate to the macros/add-ins (e.g. the lightbox macro/plugin is one we use a lot). Thanks in advance for any help.

[xwiki-users] Email Validation: stuck in 'prepare_success' status

by rez_spb

Hello, The issue is that registration emails are not sent by XWiki, they get stuck in 'prepare_success' status (seen in "Administration: Mail Sending Status"). No errors. Even in MySQL 'mail_errorDescription' and 'mail_errorSummary' fields. Similar issue was asked some time ago <http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Help-configuring-Email-Sending-for-User-v…> by another user but with no resolution. Some additional info: I have a fresh install of XWiki Enterprise 8.4.4 under Apache Tomcat 7.0.73 (Oracle Java 1.8.0_112-b15) with MySQL 5.5 under Debian Wheezy. Enterprise Flavor, no other addons or extensions were installed. I have set some internal logging to TRACE level while trying to understand the underlying reason. Filtered logging by 'mail' and enabled all 13 loggers. Still not that much useful info in logs. I am pretty sure that email is configured properly (I can send page as an email to myself using current SMTP setup and I receive it all right). Logs: Logs look different when user is registering: And that's it. These messages won't be sent, ever. 'Resend' button in admin panel does not help either. Please advise. Also I can change almost everything as this is my personal dedicated server, and I hope we can resolve this issue. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Email-Validation-stuck-in-prepare-success… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] New page name from app fields

by D R

Hi, In an XWiki Application I created I want to make sure documents created within it get named in a specific pattern from the fields filled inside them. Currently I use a custom button to redirect the user to a new document with a dummy name so he doesn't need to fill the name (that should get overwritten anyway on saving) but only the relevant fields. Something like #set ( $createDocLink = $xwiki.getURL($document, 'inline', "template=${escapetool.url($urlTemplate)}&parent=${escapetool.url($urlParent)}&title=${escapetool.url($urlTitle)}") ) This leads to a new document as defined in the application sheet with the name 'New document'. Now I want the user to fill 3 fields ('freetext1', 'freetext2', 'dropdown1'), click 'Save & View' or a custom button. Then the document should be saved as '<freetext1> - <freetext2> (<dropdown1>)' and the user should be redirected to that page in view mode. I've tried different approaches including a temporary creation page with the 3 fields as HTML input fields (can't use the applications dropdown), event listeners (the redirect after saving doesn't work) ... Additionally the same must be done when a page is edited (one of the 3 fields is changed). Please help me find a sane approach before I bite the table. Regs, Dennis

[xwiki-users] Nice display title

by Gerritjan Koekkoek

It has always been normal that if a page did not have the attribute 'title' (it was left empty) it would use a smart way to see if in the text there was a header of level 1,2 or 3 at the top. And then display that as the title... Now I've migrated pages to a XWiki 8.4.4 and this does not work any more? What can cause this change in behavior ? Is it a known issue when migrating pages from 6.4 to ??? Is the nested pages a possible cause? I tried to put the h2 title in the title attribute as well, but still the pagename is shown as title?

How do I now view a PDF using it? See the attached screenshot. When I click on the PDF, the file is downloaded locally. How can I view the PDF in the browser? Oliver
