Documentation Project - Next Priority
by Cody Burleson 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

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. Latest submission for review: How to Edit the Top Menu http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/+Editing+Top+Menu and also How to Create Flatlook Tabs with Highlighting http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Top+Menu+Example+with+Flatlo… ================================== Cody Burleson

New user to XWiki
by Ashraf Yassin 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

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

adding custom struts action to existing xwiki struts configuration
by YEUNG, HOWARD (CONTRACTOR) 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

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. Howard Yeung

Some further developments.

groovy scripting
by Duke Tantiprasut 10 Sep '05

10 Sep '05

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 Duke

LDAP & the Admin/XWiki user
by kenk＠ucar.edu 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

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

Edit Mode displays in render mode with no Save button?
by Cody Burleson 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

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. ================================== Cody Burleson

Scripting - How to get current user group?
by Cody Burleson 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

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. ================================== Cody Burleson
