FYI:
My next focus for documenation will be about "Managing User and Group
Access Rights". This documentation will live in the AdminGuide. I will
leverage off of the FAQ doc (which is all that exists as I can tell). If
there is anything you can contribute to this topic, please submit comments
to me or directly online in the AdminGuide. I hope to have something solid
written by next Monday.

Hi everyone,
first, a compliment for the developers of XWiki, it seems to be well done
and very promissing. I just starting using XWiki. I created a wiki at
XWiki.com and now downloaded it to first run it at my localhost then later
at my server.
I have a couple of short question. Please forgive me if they are obvious
questins or if they have been posted and discussed already.
1. When I start XWiki at localhost, I seem to be logged in. I see "Hello
Ashraf" on the upper right corner. There is not an Edit function under "More
Actions" link though, so I can not edit or add pages. I registerd a new
user, logged in with the new account but it is the same, cann't edit either.
Why that? What should I change in order to be able to edit contents of
pages?
Note, I can edit pages if i am logged in as admin.
2. In the installation instructions, it says: * The default admin user is
Admin with password admin. Is it possible to change those default values?
3. Surfing around in Xwiki, online as well as local, seems to be slow! is
Java responsible for that? Why? I've seen other java-based wikis that are
faster than this!
4. How can I remove users ? is it possible at all?
Thanks a lot,
Ashraf
Hi there,
I wonder if it possible to add my own action classes. The action class
runs fine in its own context. Then action class is added to the
WEB-INF/classes and the struts-config.xml is updated to reference the
class. (Of course I re-started the Tomcat) However I get an "Invalid
path was requested" error when I reference the action in the /xwiki/bin/
context.
Also I wonder if this is doable in xwiki. The xwiki uses struts. But
can people add their own custom action class to it. Thanks.

BTW, If you have local installs of XWiki in your companies, it would be
great to list your company on this page:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/XWikiInstallations
This would allow us to advertise the fact that we have great companies
using XWiki !
Thanks for you support

Hey all,
Just to let you know that the test xwiki we set up in our server cluster
didn't go well. However, we are installing as a stand alone and we
would like to know as soon as the it is cluster ready.
Thanks,
Tim
Hi All,
I'm starting to have a look at groovy scripting in xwiki and have a couple
of basic questions:
In the example below (from xwiki.org)
<%
def foo(list, value)
{
println "Calling function foo() with param ${value} <br>";
list << value;
}
x = [];
foo(x, 1);
foo(x, 2);
foo(x, 3);
foo(x, 4);
println "Creating list ${x}";
%>
1) does the groovy variable ${value} get translated before the velocity
${value} (if defined) or vice versa?
2) I tried the example and get the following result:
Calling function foo() with param 1
Calling function foo() with param 2
Calling function foo() with param 3
Calling function foo() with param 4
Creating list 1, 2, 3, 4?
where the "1, 2, 3, 4?" is a link to "1,+2,+3,+4". I assume the output from
groovy is then processed by the xwiki syntax?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm using v0.9.840 with j2sdk-1.4.2_06 authenticating against OpenLDAP. It works but for the known problem where "Login of local XWiki user (not in LDAP) doesn't work when LDAP auth used" [bug, key: XWIKI-72]; So, I'd like to try the code patch provided on that jira page.
However, I'm just an admin and tho I installed ant and downloaded the xwiki source code (and placed that .diff patch next to its target), I didn't get very far out the door:
[no@nowhere xwikisrc]$ ant -debug
Buildfile: build.xml
BUILD FAILED
/home/no/xwikisrc/build.xml:126: taskdef A class needed by class org.apache.cactus.integration.ant.CactusTask cannot be found: junit/framework/Test
I read-up on this and figure that I need junit and maybe to learn ant, but at this point I must ask:
if I start using this patched version will I go down an un-upgradable branch of code and hose my content when I upgrade next?
can I just switch out the existing LDAPAuthServiceImpl.class in my xwiki install with a patched version without having to rebuild the whole app?
and, can anyone point me to an XWIKI-72-patched version of that class b/c I see that merely javac'ing the LDAPAuthServiceImpl.java file doesn't work (cannot resolve symbol errors :)
...if the answer to all of these is "no" I'll just keep trying to build from source, so not too much hand holding needed.
thanks for your help,
Ken
Has anyone seen this issue before? In one particular document (a tutorial
I am trying to write for the XWiki docs), when I click Edit, I get a new
view (no left or right-hand toolbars) - but the document does not display
an edit field or Save button. It seems to be in render mode still (even
though the nature of the view changes somewhat). If I roll back a version,
it works proper. What I had added that seems to break it is some velocity
code inside the {code:xml}...{code} tag.
I am using #\ and $\ to escape Velocity characters inside the code tag.
Any ideas?
Also, does anyone know why I can view page code by adding the URL paramer
raw=1 or xpage=1? What is the difference in the two parameters and why
would I choose one over another if I needed to view page code? The first
question is more important; this one is just an aside.

Does anyone know how, through scripting, we may be able to identify that a
user is in a particular group? Here's what I am trying to do:
I want to permission some wiki spaces to particular groups only.
But I also need to have some pages link to those spaces that are more
public.
I would like to write some script to render or hide links based on whether
or not the authenticated user is in a given group.
Thanks in advance for your help, and thanks for all the help given thus
far.
