Looking for forwarding in Velocity script
by Xavier MOGHRABI 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

Dear all, I'm trying to create a form in order to register visitors to a conference. Thus I've created a XWiki class to store data concerning visitors. I've created this document : Main.RegistrationClass that contains the class Main.RegistrationClassTemplate that contains an object of the previous class Main.RegistrationClassSheet I need to make some verifications when people registering. Thus I've created a Document that I called Main.RegistrationNewVisitor that displays a form and control data. The problem I have is that I don't know with using velocity script how I can forward. Thus I've created a javascript script that forward to the desired page by clicking on the hidden form. Any idea ?

There are still several question which need to be answered but are not in this documentation: 1a. Does this create a new database for the new XWiki? 1b. If so, where is this database created? or Is it necessary to manually create a new database?

Hi is there also a way to setup virtual wikis based on the same hostname but different URL patterns? Example: http://www.myhost.ch/xwiki/wiki-1/ http://www.myhost.ch/xwiki/wiki-2/ http://www.myhost.ch/xwiki/wiki-3/ All URLs point to same Context. In addition, could you please quickly explain the usage of xwiki.base=../../ which can be found in the config file? thanks a lot Thomas -----Original Message----- From: Ludovic Dubost [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 12:00 PM To: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Create a new instance of Xwiki Hi, This is one way of create multiple wikis served from the same servlet engine.

Never mind, I think my glasses were dirty or something =) com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl.CreateUserFromLDAP() Does what I thought should be there. So assuming I model my auth service on the LDAP one, everything should work - please correct me if I'm wrong. Matt

Deleting classes
by Matthew Conway 28 Jul '05

28 Jul '05

Hi all, I've noticed that if I delete a class document, xwiki does not delete the entry from the xwikiclasses table, nor does it delete the properties asscoiated with that class from the xwikiclassesprop table. Thus when I recreate the class document, all the old properties are still there. Is this intentional or a bug? This all stemmed from me trying to delete a class property (can only do so with direct db modification), so I was hoping that deleting the class doc would be a workaround, but doesn't seem to be - unless I'm missing something ...? I'm still new to xwiki to trying to understand the relationships between entities. Thanks, Matt

Question about authentication
by Matthew Conway 28 Jul '05

28 Jul '05

I'd like to be able to use XWiki with an alternate source for user authentication and I thought creating my own auth service might do the trick. However, on further thought, I'm not sure how this would work - doesn't the XWiki user document still need to exist as a place to store user settings (e.g email notification plugin stores an object there)? I dug around a bit in the LDAP service code, and don't see anywhere where it creates the xwiki user document, so I'm wondering what I'm missing. I was thinking that maybe it should should auth the user then create the user doc if it doesn't already exist. I guess the code/pages I have that register that user could also send a message to xwiki to create the user, but for LDAP user management clients that may not be possible, so I must be missing something. Is there a better way to do auth that I don't know about? Our user data is in a set of DB tables. Thanks, Matt

Create a new instance of Xwiki
by Lichman, Mark Eugene 28 Jul '05

28 Jul '05

Hi Cwiki users, I noticed the instructions for adding another space, unfortunately this isn't quite what I needed. Here are some instuctions for creating a new instance of Xwiki in case you'd like to keep two completly separate databases (i.e. searching one will not give results for the other). I wasn't quite sure where to put this online. 1 Create a new instance of Xwiki # Create a folder with the name of the new Xwiki (i.e. support) in the tomcat/webapps folder) # Extract the xwiki war file into this folder # In the webinf/hibernate.cfg.xml file * modify {code:xml} <property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost/xwiki</property> {code} replacing xwiki with the name of the new database you wish to create # create a new database with the same name as in the line above # import the sample database located here [http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/XWikiDownload] into your new database All set! Go to http://localhost/your_wiki_here/bin/view/Main/WebHome to check it out. Caution, you may wish to modify the index.html file to point to your url just in case.
