Hi, for one of our projects, we're creating a XWiki component, based upon this documentation (http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingComponents). In documentation, it is said we can access the XWikiContext, which is also said to be deprecated. Considering that, and the fact we're running in XWiki 7.0, what is the best way to get incoming request parameter ? Thanks

[xwiki-users] [myxwiki] new wiki request

by Bedar

Hi, Firstly, I hope I'm sending this to the correct e-mail, if not please tell me so I can avoid making the same mistake in the future. Secondly, I would like to create my own personal Wiki. I'm mainly going to use it for personal use. This will hold a knowledge base for my IT and Webdesign knowledge to present me this in a structured way. While I'm using this, I'm also going to evaluate it to use it in an enterprise environment. Owner name: Daniël Meyfroot Wiki name: bedar.myxwiki.com (bedar89 is also possible, but I prefer without numbers) Thank you in advance, Daniël Meyfroot

[xwiki-users] database related issue while upgrading to the brand new 7.0 release

by Ricardo.Julio.Rodriguez.Fernandez＠sergas.es

Hi all! We have successfuly updated our XWiki 6.x installation along the whole 6 cycle, but I'm in troubles with the new 7.0 release. I think that with only the first four lines of the error stack XWiki initialization failed ! Exception thrown during job execution class java.lang.AbstractMethodError: null at org.apache.commons.dbcp2.DelegatingConnection.isValid(DelegatingConnection.java:914) at org.apache.commons.dbcp2.DelegatingConnection.isValid(DelegatingConnection.java:914) ...

As they are a lot of versions between mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar (working for us nicely so far) and the newest mysql-connector-java-5.1.35-bin.jar (failing for us, at least with this combination of Java, Tomcat and MySQL), please, could you tell us if we are in the right direction? Should we update any other component but mysql-connector-java-x.y.z-bin.jar to get XWiki 7.0 working? Should we start trying one by one mysql-connector-java-x.y.z-bin.jar newer releases? Do you know which release introduces JDBC 4.1 support? Thanks you so much for your help!

[xwiki-users] Javascript RESTful

by Matthias Wegner

Hello, i like the REST-API and have a library in Java which works perfect. Now i want to use the RESTful API in Javascript. But i am new to javascript and tried a lot, but nothing seems to work. Is there a simple example in javascript with the rest-api? I don't get what i am doing wrong, because i am not good in javascript. I tried require(['jquery'], function ($) { $.ajax({ accepts: {xml: 'text/xml', text: 'text/plain'}, url: 'http://HOST/xwiki/rest', type: 'GET', dataType: 'xml', contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8', converters: {'text xml': jQuery.parseXML}, crossDomain: true, async: true, username: 'username', password: 'apassword', success: function(data){ alert("Success: "+JSON.stringify(data)); }, error: function(data){ alert("Error: "+ JSON.stringify(data)); } }); }); Also i tried var httpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); httpRequest.open('PUT', 'http://HOST/xwiki/rest'); httpRequest.setRequestHeader('Accept', 'application/xml'); httpRequest.send( null ); alert( JSON.stringify(httpRequest.responseText) ); httpRequest.onreadystatechange = function(){ if(this.readyState == 4){ if(this.status == 200){ alert(this.responseText); } else{ alert(this.statusText); } } } I recognized a difference in ajax when i switched to jsonp because i tried on localhost. But anyway my example work when i use my server outside. Can you help me?

Hi! XWiki 5.3 worked fine. Upgrade 5.3 -> 6.3. http://mydomain.com/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=globaladmin&section… Add User gives nothing. I fill in all required field, click on the Add user. User magically does not appear in the list. The same via http://mydoamin.com/register/XWiki/Register gives required result - New User in the list of users appears. Is it a bug or I'm doing something wrong? Kind regards, Dmitry

[xwiki-users] Generating pure JSON

by Bryn Jeffries

I'd like to be able to generate pure JSON from a wiki page, to use in other pages via AJAX. To that end I created a page with the following content: {{velocity wiki="false"}} $response.setContentType('application/json') { "greeting" : "Hello", "location": "World" } {{/velocity}} Calling this via /xwiki/bin/get/Sandbox/JsonTest I get the following code: { "greeting" : "Hello", "location": "World" } I get the same via /xwiki/bin/view/AlertDB/JsonTest?xpage=plain. If I remove the $response.setContentType('application/json') https://dev.alertnessdb.net/xwiki/bin/view/AlertDB/JsonTest?xpage=plain

[xwiki-users] Is there an escape tool to escape text in XWiki syntax?

by Thanh Hong Dai

Currently, I'm using something like this to generate a list of pages whose prefix is "Prefix:" and link to them: {velocity}} ((( #foreach ($row in $services.query.hql("select doc.name, doc.fullName from XWikiDocument doc where doc.space.hidden = false and doc.space not in ('XWiki', 'Sandbox', 'Main', 'Macros') and doc.name like 'Prefix:%'").execute()) * **[[$row[0].replaceFirst("Prefix: *", "").replaceAll("~", "~~~~").replaceAll("[\x20-\x7f&&[^a-zA-Z0-9 ~]]", "~~$0")>>doc:$row[1].replaceAll("~", "~~").replaceAll("[\x5b\x5d|]", "\\$0 <file:///\\$0> ")]]** #end ))) {{/velocity}} I have tested with some heavy test cases like Prefix: ~~~!!!```@@@$$$%%%^^^&&&***((()))___----+++==={{{}}}[[[]]]\\\|||:::;;;'''""" ???///...>>>,,,<<< And what I have above works correctly (both showing the title and linking to the document). I only work on a few hard test cases, though, so I'm not sure if I missed anything. Is there a method that does all this automatically? Or is there a better approach to this?

[xwiki-users] XWiki utility for stripping HTML

[xwiki-users] A way to add some tags on saved page with class

by Pascal BASTIEN

Hello, I'm looking for advice about a way to add some tags on saved page with class. What I have: - a sheet page with an object Class ( with an object class + properties) + a template page - a velocity code in a page AddMyTag to add some tags on some page with this URL parameters: $!request.PageSource, $!request.ClassName What I'm trying to do, is: when a user save a page, a tag is added. The tag to add is coming from a properties value (last character on property name is _Tag). If I call my 'AddMyTag' page, tags are correctly added on PageSource. To resume: - the user save HisPage - HisPage add tags from a properties value (name xxx_Tag) My problem is "how can I launch" automaticelly my 'AddMyTag' page when a user record PageSource? I tried with Ajax with document.observe("xwiki:actions:save", function(event){ (http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/JavaScriptAPI#HActioneven…) but the problem is: sometime xxx_Tag property value is updated after my AJAX call (and the old tag is attached on page). A the moment, I'm looking for another way, I read http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/WikiComponent+Module But documentation indicate: "The goal is to listen ... DocumentUpdatingEvent events (note that these events are fired before the page is saved and thus our code doesn't need to perform the save itself ..." Then I can not use this method either because I must add tag from new value from my _Tag properties. How can I launch a velocity script on a document after document is saved (to add some tag from the document itself)? Thxs for any help Pascal B

[xwiki-users] Class with DB List multiselect

by Gerritjan Koekkoek

I would like to create a form for a international audience (multi language) So I created a AppWithinMinutes app. I would like that my users can Multiselect from a list that is a selection of objects based on a class. So i created a class (with AppWithinMinutes: Class properties Short Text (shortText1: String) Long Text (longText1: TextArea) Long Text (longText2: TextArea) Database List (databaseList1: Database List) The databaseList1 has the following properties: DisplayType: checkbox Multiple Select: true XWiki Class Name: XWiki.UIExtensionClass Id Field Name: name () Value Field Name: name The first issue I get that I get all objects of the class. I hoped to add a selection by adding this query: from doc.object(XWiki.UIExtensionClass) as obj where lower(obj.extensionPointId) like '%cdlsworld.standardized.questionaires%' and ('wiki' = obj.scope) order by obj.name But how can I add this? The second issue that I hoped to be able to use for the option to add the translated value $services.localization.get('$value')

[xwiki-users] Synchronize two XWiki installations

by Nicolas Delsaux

Hi, As I tried XWiki, I used my laptop as server with the Windows standalone install. Now, I want to have XWiki installed on a standard server with a standard DB/web server using the XWiki RPM (I guess this RPM will not install Jetty/SQLite, but Tomcat/??). But, I would better not have to reinstall the various extensions, recreate the users (with the same login/passwords) and rewrite the pages I already have. Is there any synchronisation mechanism available that would allow me to give the "official" XWiki my "prototype" one as a kind of upstream server and make sure their content and config is synchronized ?

Hello I created an application: - my Class EAClass contain a field DG MOA * : (P1_DgMoa: Database List) Display Type: select Sort: Id XWiki Class Name: FormSMQ.ListeDGClass Id Field Name: DGId Value Field Name: DGLib My Class (source of select list) FormSMQ.ListeDGClass have 2 fields: DG Id (DGId: String): contain l'Id of my list DG Lib (DGLib: String): contain lib (pretty name like) who is displayed on my list select. My data are: DGId:20_dgaln / DGLib: DGALN DGId:25_dgec / DGLib: DGEC DGId:30_dgitm / DGLib: DGITM ... Everything going well: -all pages based on EAClass displayed Lib Value in view mode and in edit mode too (the id value is stored in the page)... Except for search engine: I have some problems: - "search page" searching only Id value and not lib value (of course because it is the id value that is stored in EAClass object) i.e. I found pages, if I search "25_dgec" but not if I search "DGEC" - Result "search page" displayed property name (and not the pretty name) FAQ have same issue. - my solr facet displayed my id value too. Do you know how can I fix this issue (if someone understand my problem ;-) )? Here I paste a nice screenchot: http://snag.gy/Joa7q.jpg Thanks. Pascal B

Re: [xwiki-users] Advice on upgrade and testing

[xwiki-users] Advice on upgrade and testing

by Mahomed Hussein

Hi I wonder if anyone could be kind enough to provide me with some advice and pointers. I’ve noticed that XWiki runs its distribution upgrade wizard automatically when a new version is detected, but even though I pressed “Later” it still went ahead and upgraded. Or at least it appeared to have upgraded part of the system as the core version at the bottom showed 6.4.3 when the extensions etc. were still for 6.4.2. We started with 6.4.2 (installed using apt-get on Ubuntu 14.04). So, to summarise my questions: · How do I stop Xwiki from automatically upgrading. I just want it to notify me then I can plan the upgrade · How do you perform a controlled upgrade and test (I appreciate that this is a rather in-depth question)? What I need to be able to do is to do an upgrade and then be able to fairly easily test that the new version doesn’t break any of our documents or functionality that we depend on. Would the only way to do this be to keep a list of my changes and check them with every upgrade? Thanks in advance for your time and help. Kind regards, Mahomed Hussein Senior NOC Engineer P.S.
