Hi I need to assign a blog category to my document created by code?
def vCategory = "Informatie"
vObjArticle.set("category",vCategory)
category is a special typed-attribute in BlogPostClass object of type "database tree"
I have defined the blog category "Informatie" through the category editor of the blog application
but after saving the document and inspecting the object it does not show
the tekst "Informatie", but it appears to be empty
Is this the right way of setting such a attribute? If not, how to?

Hi everyone,
as mentionned before, I have followed some tips given before (by Anca Luca I
believe) regarding the private RSS feed.
I have also found Vincent's post on private rss on XWiki.org (
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/PrivateRssFeeds)
But I still can't make it work ....
I have tried the feed in several reader, and it just won't work.
Or to be more correct, I can subscribe to the feed, and it shows me the
latest changes, but it won't refresh ....
BTW, the generic rss feed does not contain the "&basicauth=1 " recommended
by Vincent, and I don't know how to change that ....
If I can't make the RSS work, I will end-up with zero adoption here ....
Any help is welcome ...

Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for your quick answer on my previous question.
I am trying to write a bibliography/cite macro (I am happy to share
once it dies something useful). I am writing the macro in a wiki page
and I am using groovy as scripting language.
I would like to have access to the URL of an attachment of the page
the macro is used on. I am doing so by using
doc.getAttachmentURL( <name> );
however, the URL uses the page the Macro is saved in, not the page the
macro is used on. I think I managed this before using velocity.
So my question: what would be the right way of accessing the Document
of the page the macro is placed on?
Thanks for your help,

-The XWiki dev team
I have downloaded the windows executable version 2.2.2
As part of installation - I opted not to include the default wiki pages
After installation, starting the wiki - an empty wiki appears
When selecting on Administration space and trying to import
xwiki-enterprise-wiki-2.2.2.xar file - I see a message on the panel
indicating that there were errors and so no documents were imported
(off course I don't know what the errors are)
I have tried the same thing when installing 2.2.2 as a standalone war
under tomcat. I have tried using both postgres and SQL Server 2005
and I end up getting the same place as the scenario above
The db gets created - I see the empty wiki page but I can not
import any .xar files. I don't see any memory errors in logs - I have the
recommended values set for MaxPermSize and max heap
Am I doing something incorrect here considering the fact that
in all scenarios, I can't import any .xar files
I really would like to get my installation running under either Postgres
or SQL Server.
At this point, I am getting frustrated. Any help would be highly
appreciated
Hi all,
I am recognizing that you are spending some effort on the development of the ToDo application. Some of you knows, that I am loving the TaskManager application :). My question is: Is there any chance to get best of both?
The advantages of the TaskManager application:
- Self numbering (like a small ticket system)
- Tasks are linked to a page, i.e opening any wiki pages shows immediately the open issues for the current context
- Comments: Comments allows noting the progress of an issue just in a few words.
Thanks

I think two problems may be related. After update to XE 2.2.2 the log is
filling with repeats like this;

There is also a stubborn blog title, that I can not delete. Shows up as an
orphan, named "R+U+NAME%3F" no quotes. Offers to let me create it when I
try to delete, as it says the page does not exist. If I do, I can delete the
new page after the rec bin, but the orphan is still there. I think the name
is stuck, and I would like to know how to hit it with the big hammer, inside
the MySQL DB. Any help with were to look?
If I remove this blog page, I bet the warnings in the log go to. If not,
how do I track them down? W2k8r2 server Tomcat MySQL HyperV. John

I guess I can confirm it is working myself. Naturally after I posted the
question. Not sure what the change was, but I did the update to xwiki and
java, then magic.. Still have a errror with rss and the blog feed. Will post
anew on that. Thanks.

Hey,
I'm trying to implement a status report application that uses the searching mechanism of the FAQ tutorial. I've looked at the code and it seems that in FAQ.FAQSearch, it includes in context, a document called XWiki.WebSearchCode and another called XWiki.Results. The file doesn't exist on my own wiki and I can't search it up on xwiki.org. I do, however, have files Main.WebSearch and Main.LuceneSearch. Still doesn't seem to work. Is there a way to implement the search bar from the FAQ?

Hello,
I have first configured (and used without problem) my Watchlist when I
was working with XWiki Enterprise 2.0.
In this case when I clicked on the menu : WATCH -> MANAGE YOUR
WATCHLIST, I am redirected to this page :
http://myDomain/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/WatchListManager and I can really
manage my watchlist.
But, after an update to XWiki Enterprise 2.2.1, when I click on the
menu : WATCHLIST, I am redirected to this URL :
http://myDomain/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/MyUserName?category=watchlist and
the page diplayed is the one to configure my user profil (that is to say
the page same page obtained from :
http://myDomain/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/MyUserName).
I wonder me why ? (it's quite strange).
(For precising :
- It happens the same with XWiki Enterprise 2.2.2.
- I can nevertheless access to the watchlist page by typing directly in
the adress bar of my browser :
http://myDomain/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/WatchListManager ).
Thanks,

Hello there to Everybody,
I need to turn a set of word documents into an xWiki hypertext, and I want to do it with xEclipse. I have this, hopefully simple, question to ask: is it possible to accomplish such a task working completely off-line - and I mean that (i) I do not want to install an xWiki server on my PC, (ii) I want to prepare an hypertext draft to be next tryed on my customer's premises?
I have installed xEclipse on my PC, but yet I cannot find the way to import a word document to start editing the links.
Thanks,
Omar.-
Hello,
i found a problem when in a header section there is a broken link.
for example, in wiki editor mode i have:
= SOME TITLE [[Some Broken Link]] =
if i click "Preview" button the page is shown correctly. Changing the editor
to WYSIWYG mode, when i click "Preview" button the following error appear:
content: Exception while parsing HTML
and the page won't show but it stands in editor mode. Tried with IE7, FF
3.5.8, Chrome and Safari.
I see this content http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4536 classified
as bug and closed, but there were no fixes.
Any workaround?

Hi,
is there a way to configure the rights of a registered user?
In my xwiki a newly registered user has the right to EDIT on his own user-document.
However, the rights do not allow them to "view" it. So the user could NOT view his own user-document.
The user can call /bin/edit/... this works, but this could not expected from a new user
When I explicitly give view access, everything works fine.

Hi,
Some little issues I think I found on PDF Export (XE 2.2.1/MySQL5):
- if using "includechilds=n", and if child pages refer to parent as
"xwiki:Space.Page" (which seems to be default now), they are not included.
To get included, I had to change parent value in child to "Space.Page" only
- Table Of Content chapter in generated PDF does not work very well when
there are included pages. If headings levels are similar in child and
parent, then TOC contains only child headings. So I renumbered child
headings depending on where they would be inserted, and now TOC is empty.
Tested with 1 page and 1 child, but really not exhaustive
I can create JIRAs if you believe these are bugs,

Hi,
I want to export a xWiki page to be seen on word. I tried rtf export, but it
doesn't seem to be working. I got an rtf document, but when I open the
document on word it is incomplete. The tables aren't showed. Also, if I
tried to open the rtf on OpenOffice Writer it crashed. I am also trying
with xoffice. It works better than rtf export. But the images on the page
aren't exported to the .doc file.
Is there something I could do to get the images on the resulting .doc file?
Thanks,
Abel
Thanks for the tip Sergiu. I will give this a try and hope it works out.

Hi Sergiu,
I phrased my question incorrectly. I am required to load CSS files
conditionally using JS. There is a GPL licensed Nifty Cube library
that is used for creating round corner effects which I was trying to
import into my wiki. Here is the code snippet where I am stuck:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
var oldonload=window.onload;
if(typeof(NiftyLoad)!='function') NiftyLoad=function(){};
if(typeof(oldonload)=='function')
window.onload=function(){oldonload();AddCss();NiftyLoad()};
else window.onload=function(){AddCss();NiftyLoad()};
function AddCss(){
niftyCss=true;
var l=CreateEl("link");
l.setAttribute("type","text/css");
l.setAttribute("rel","stylesheet");
l.setAttribute("href","niftyCorners.css");
l.setAttribute("media","screen");
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(l);
}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks...
Hello folks,
Is it possible to call a CSS code from inside the JS code in XWiki.The
Javascript code has been written to import CSS from a specific folder in the
web application structure. However, in XWiki, I've added both the JS & the
CSS code to the same Page using the Javascript & Stylesheet extensions. The
problem is that the JS file is unable to find the CSS code embedded inside
the same Page. Do I have to use the URL of the Stylesheet or do I write some
velocity code to get the run-time URL of the CSS file? Would this method
work.Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
Hi everyone (devs and users),
While we have a clear governance for write access to our source
repository (http://dev.xwiki.org), we're missing a clear governance
for xwiki.org. The idea is to address mainly the following 2 questions:
1) who "owns" it and thus "controls" (or rather provides direction
for) its content
2) can it be used for business advertising (support, paid packages,
consulting services)
Bit of History about XWiki SAS
========================
- XWiki SAS (http://xwiki.com) is the company founded by Ludovic
Dubost the creator of XWiki (I'm the CTO of XWiki SAS in addition to
being a committer here).
- Most of the active contributors are also employed and paid by XWiki
SAS to develop the XWiki software. Today that's
-- 12.5 committers (developers)
-- 1 open source product manager (see http://markmail.org/thread/ggaaw4u6yyci4oan
for its definition)
-- 1 designer
-- 1 tester/technical writer
- XWiki SAS sells services around the open source software, see http://www.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Services/
- XWiki SAS truly believes and understands open source, see http://www.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/About/Values
-- I also wrote a blog post on this some time back: http://massol.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/XWikiSASAndOpenSource
- XWiki SAS has promised "not to do evil" ;), see its manifesto at http://www.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/About/Manifesto
- XWiki SAS is paying for the servers and maintenance of xwiki.org,
myxwiki.org, the maven repo, the svn repo, the hudson build serversn
the free JUG farm, and more
Issue at hand
===========
XWiki SAS would like to generate more revenue to be able to increase
the development pace of the XWiki software. We'd like to fund even
more the development of XWiki, so that it becomes an even better
product. We've asked you what you'd like to see in the future in XWiki
and you've answered on this survey result:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/Features+Survey+Results
We'd like to implement those features as fast as possible.
For this we need to ensure that users interested in commercial
services find easily the way to http://xwiki.com, even when they
arrive on xwiki.org.
This is true for XWiki SAS's services but also for any company willing
to offer services around the XWiki open source project. There's no
magic. Developers need to be paid when they work full time on some
project. We need a commercial ecosystem around XWiki for it to
progress as quickly as its competitors (the collaboration market). We
need to allow for commercial companies the ability to generate revenue
from their work on the XWiki open source project. However we also want
to continue ensuring that all the XWiki development is done in open
source, under a LGPL license.
Governance Proposal
=================
1) xwiki.org is controlled by the XWiki committers. This means that
important changes brought to it should be discussed/vote on the list,
using the same practices as for code commits
2) xwiki.org stays open in edit mode to all external contributors (and
XWiki committers continue to monitor it to remove spam, etc)
3) we agree to start with 3 zones where companies can advertise their
commercial offers on top of the XWiki open source product:
-- On the download page (for business packages, subscriptions, hosting)
-- On the support page (for services: support, consulting)
-- (still to be defined) Possibly on a "Products" tab in the new
horizontal navigation. The idea would be to do as jboss.org is doing.
Projects are open source and community and Products are commercial
4) the company offerings are listed by their amount of contributions
to the XWiki open source project. The company that contributes most
(XWiki SAS today) gets the best spots (top of the list, bigger space)
5) Companies who want to be listed should provide some proof of their
contributions to the XWiki open source project
6) XWiki SAS gets some acknowledgment for paying for the xwiki.org
server/maintenance of it. Probably somewhere in the footer of the site
or on side panel somewhere
7) xwiki.org should always remain a site for the xwiki open source
community
Conclusion
=========
We want to stress that this proposal is not about XWiki SAS making a
commercial takeover of the xwiki.org site.
It's about recognizing that if the XWiki open source software
progresses quickly today, it's thanks to contributors but also for a
very large proportion to companies paying developers to work on it,
either directly (like XWiki SAS or other companies that have
developers contributing) or indirectly (by paying for example XWiki
SAS or other companies to work on specific features).
It's also about recognizing that XWiki SAS is happy to see other
companies willing to contribute to the progress of the XWiki open
source project and thus to provide a place for these companies to be
visible too.
I hope that all our contributors but also users of the XWiki Open
Source software will find this proposal acceptable and I welcome any
feedback on it.
Thanks

Hello,
When I use the XMLRPC interface from Python I can store a lot of pages,
attachments and even convert syntaxes.
But how can I find if some
attachment already exists in the wiki to make a link to that attachment
and not upload the same attachment over and over again?
kind regards,
