Are old attachment versions stored and accessible? When I attach a new
version of a document, the "version" attribute gets updated, but I don't
see a way to get back to the old version. Going back in history shows the
old "version", but when I click on it, it displays the newer version of
the attachment. Likewise, appending "?rev=xxx" to the URL also doesn't
help.

I am attempting to use Xwiki as a CMS for software development project
documentation. A key requirement is to generate aggregate documents with
page numbers and a table of contents. Currently, Xwiki doesn't seem to offer
this feature, so I thought I would try using Cocoon to pull documents from
Xwiki, aggregate them, and generate a PDF. (Cocoon lets you get source
documents either from the file system, or from http URL's.)
Has anyone attempted this before? I am running into difficulty and am not an
expert on Xwiki or Cocoon, though I do have some experience with xslt
technology. Before spinning my wheels too much, I thought I would post here
to see if there might be a better way to accomplish what I want to do.
I really like what I see in Xwiki, but if there is another product that
might work better for this requirement, I might consider it. I've looked at
a number of free CMS products, and so far I haven't found any that offer the
ease of Wiki editing with the kind of aggregate PDF generation I want
(specifically, TOC with page numbers). Last year in teaching this class I
used Apache Forrest, but it's not very user friendly. I would love to find
something that would be easier for the students to use.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

Hi,
I have a question to the rights management. I created a special
document, which has an input field to put in a name to create
a new document. This document use a template of a specific class.
The code on this page is copied from a page on xwiki.org.
I think it was from your HowTo page.
On this template there are two objects and a call to include
a class sheet with the layout. This class sheet use velocity
to view the content of the two objects. There are different
layouts for edit and view.
This works fine, but only if I have admin rights. A user
which has the default rights of the group XWiki.XWikiAllGroup
has no privilege to edit the new created document.
What's wrong? What kind of rights do the user need, to create
and edit this documents?
Thanks for your help.
Bye
Frank

This may be a bit of a longshot for you however, before turning to XWiki I had
taken a look a egroupware (www.egroupware.org). It seems to be capable of doing
what you would like, as a warning though the code is a bit overgrown and can be
very messy in places. It is in php and they have managed to incorporate
wikkitikkitavi into the product as their wiki engine.
I suspect that with some work it may be possible to incorporate XWiki into this
project using the php java extension
http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/marknold20001221.php3, although it is no doubt
a non-trivial task.

Can someone help me out here?
I have created some pages (just through messing around and experimenting)
that I decided I did not want. I did this using the [bracket around text]
method. Then afterwards, I deleted the bracketed text. But, I am assuming
that my page data is still sitting somewhere in the database. Is there
some way to generate a list of all pages? And if so - is there also some
way to delete pages for good?

Hi Luis,
There are several reasons, both from a user point of view and a
developer point of view:
- ZWiki has a horrible wiki syntax (space based)
- Modern wikis had much better functionality (we evaluated MediaWiki,
MoinMoinWiki and Xwiki) such as attachments or structured information.
- We are Java developers so with Xwiki we can add a functionality if we miss it.
- ZWiki was giving spureous server errors and was becoming very slow
as the number of pages was growing
I think these are the most important, if you have a specific question
I'll be glad to answer.
Regards,
Jorge
