16 Sep '15

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. You can download it here: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download Make sure to review the release notes: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki72RC1 The following people have contributed code to this release: Denis Gervalle Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) Eduard Moraru Gabriela Smeria Guillaume Delhumeau Marius Dumitru Florea Sergiu Dumitriu Thomas Mortagne Vincent Massol Thanks for your support -The XWiki dev team

[xwiki-users] Right access with sub group and ldap authentication
by Pascal BASTIEN 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

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 Pascal B

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.

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.

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. Thanks -Vincent On 15 Sep 2015 at 18:53:16, Aaron Hardy at AC (ashtarcommunications(a)gmail.com) wrote: Page syntax is XWiki 2.1 and the velocity is wrapped.

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). $response is still there Thanks -Vincent > aaron

[xwiki-users] XML with getURLContent()
by Aaron Hardy at AC 15 Sep '15

15 Sep '15

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? aaron

[xwiki-users] Export a whole space as PDF
by Daniel Wuttke 14 Sep '15

14 Sep '15

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

[xwiki-users] FAQ Application tutorial is incomprehensible
by Alex Henrie 12 Sep '15

12 Sep '15

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
