The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki
7.2 Release Candidate 1.
This release candidate brings many Flamingo skin improvements to better
present Nested Documents on top of the Nested Spaces concept. Similar
improvements were made in applications like Solr Search, AWM, FAQ, Activity
Stream and the Skin editor in order to be compatible with Nested Spaces.
On the developers side, a new Select widget and a document picker were
added to allow richer UIs to be created.
Last but not least, 41 bugs were fixed in this release on the road towards
the coming final 7.2 release.

Hello,
I try to resolve an right access issu with our xwiki 7.0.1.
I use LDAP authentication to access at our xwiki. Everyone have read access and a main group have write access on a space (unfortunaly big boss is "afraid?" about wiki spirit: 'everyone can edit').
Main editor group contains some subgroup (like manager, comm, etc.) with users in it.
I encountered a strange behaviours: on my developpment platform, rights access work well but on production platform (behind a reverse proxy), right acces working randomly: sometimes main group editors lose write access.
I tested with a test ldap user with exactly same rights/groups on same space with same rights access, on my developpment platform and on production platform. Main editor group can write only on my developpment platform :-(
Do you have an idea of my problem or a way to identify the source of this problem?
I can try to restart production platform in last resort... Maybe the poblem come from some wrong cache on web server?
Note: If I don't use sub group and fill main editors groups with users account I haven't problems.
Thxs for any help

Hi Aaron,
Feel free to create a jira issue at http://jira.xwiki.org if you think it’s important that getURLContent() supports HTTPS. This can be done since under the hood we’re using Http Client and it supports HTTPS.
Thanks

If I remember correctly, we got stuck on RC1 during the last production upgrade cycle because there was some feature in 6.2 that we really needed but the final release was still a few weeks out by our deadline so we rolled the dice. Fortunately we haven't run into many issues - which is probably why we're running behind on the upgrade :)

Seems to be working fine on http://playground.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Aaron
Maybe there was a problem specifically on 6.2RC1 (BTW better use some final releases…:)). I’d recommend 6.4.5 for the 6.x cycle.

Page syntax is XWiki 2.1 and the velocity is wrapped. Sorry, I didn't include the full code for simplicity's sake. Here's a minimal example cut and pasted from the editor (only thing changed is the actual URL):

 #set($getURL = "https://www.example.com/api/example.mhtml?param=123")
 $getURL

 $content
{{/velocity}}
If I set $getURL to "https://google.com", it prints $content to the page. With my API URL, I get nothing but the link in $getURL. But if I follow that link, I get the expected XML page from the API, so I know the URL is working correctly.
I figured it was because $content is XML from the API, and HTML from google, but using $services.xml.parse on the response doesn't work either.
The strange part is that this is code that I haven't touched in quite some time, and used to be working. The full code parses the XML response and saves various elements to an HTML table on the page - but it doesn't appear to be getting that far.

What is the syntax of your page? Are you sure it’s XWiki Syntax 2.0+ and you’re wrapping the velocity content with the {{velocity}} macro for example (you didn’t show it in your example).Â
$response is still there
Thanks

XWiki 6.2RC1. I have some velocity code using getURLContent() to access an
external API that appears to not be working after a server move, despite
working in the past.
Something like this used to work:
*****************************
#set($url = "https://www.example.com/api/example.mhtml?param=123")
#set($response = $xwiki.getURLContent($url))
#if ($response)
#set($tags = $services.xml.parse($response).getElementsByTagName('TAG'))
$tags.length
#end
*****************************
Now, $response appears to be empty (nothing appears when written to the
page). Going directly to the API URL returns properly formatted XML, so I
know the API itself is working. And changing $url to http://google.com also
returns data.
Any ideas?

Hello there,
I am trying to export a whole XWiki space to PDF for several hours now. And
it seems like it is not possible.
I am running XWiki 7.1.1 and I did try the following ways:
1.
built-in via
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/export/Space/Page?format=pdf&pages=MyTestSp…
or similar approaches.
Is there any way to use the "%25" with this approach like it is possible
for HTML and XAR exports?
2.
PDF Export Collection Application (
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/PDF+Export+Collection+…
)
It writes an error to the export pdf file. (Failed to execute the
[velocity] macro. Click on this message for details.)
3.
XWiki Multipage PDF Export (
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Multipage+PDF+Export)
Did not get it to run, but the docu seems like i need to add any specific
page on my own, which is not what i want.
4.
XWiki MultipagePdfExport Application - Space Export (
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/MultipagePdfExport+App…
)
It is possible to select what to export in the current space, but it does
not get exported to the final PDF file.
5. Admin Tools Application (
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/PDF+Export+Panel+Appli…
)
Did not get it to run, but it seems to be a GUI for the first approach. So
I do not expect it to work better.
If there are any tricks I should know of with any of those approaches you
are welcome to tell me. Totally new ideas/solutions are welcome as well of
course.
Hopefully any one can solve this problem since i could not find a solution
yet.
Yours
Daniel
Hi,
I need to modify an XWiki application to add some functionality, but I
am new to XWiki and I am having a really hard time understanding it.
I'm running XWiki Enterprise 7.1.2. The FAQ application tutorial
<http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorialManual>
looks promising, but the instructions are outdated and I can't figure
out how to get a finished product that looks like what the tutorial
has. The following instructions are particularly problematic:
> In the code, change the word "Main" with the name of the space where you want you FAQ pages to be created
There is no word "Main".
> If you click on "View the template document" and edit that page in wiki mode, you will see the following code: {{include document="FAQ.FAQClassSheet"/}}
The page is blank, I don't see any code.
> Use the Create top level menu (when using the Colibri skin) or the Create Panel to create the FAQ.WebHome page
I don't see anything marked "Create".
Is there an experienced XWiki developer who would be willing to go
through the FAQ application tutorial and rewrite it to make sense for
the latest version of XWiki?
More generally, it would be very helpful to have a glossary that
defines and relates terms like "application", "page", "document",
"object", "property", "class", "template", and "template provider".
These terms are used in the documentation with little or no
explanation, which adds to the confusion.
-Alex
