[xwiki-users] give all users the programming right
by Nicolas Delsaux 20 Mar '15

20 Mar '15

According to XWiki documentation, "all non Velocity scripting languages are only allowed to be used by sers having the programming rights". Does it means a groovy macro can only be used if I have the programming role ? If so, is it possible to have all users granted those rights automatically ? -- Nicolas Delsaux

[xwiki-users] Globally changing font, headers and title in XWiki
by Mahomed Hussein 18 Mar '15

Hi On that same tab you are looking at (Base colors) scroll down and change the value for @headings-color. This will allow you to change all the titles and headings. I hope that helps.

I don't know how to change the default *Title *and *Headings* colour. I can only see colour modification for all text, backgrounds and so on.

[xwiki-users] Question on DBList and the use of different wikis
by Peter Huisman 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

Hi, I am looking for a solution for the following situation. I have 2 wiki's. The fist one (ref: MD) contains "Master Data". The second one (ref: UD) contains "User Data". I have Classes in UD that use data from the MD. The way to connect them is using DBList. I am however not able to compose a HQL query that enables me to select a different Wiki to run the query on. I know it is possible to select the Wiki in Velocity but until now, that didn't help me. In the Github code (the getDBList method in the DBListClass.java) a comment is included just before a statement: // The DBlist may come from an other wiki StringwikiName =getReference().extractReference(EntityType.WIKI).getName(); This might indicate that selecting a wiki might be an option when getting a DBList. Anybody knows how to solve this problem (without replicating the data from MD in UD ;-))? Any additional suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Peter

[xwiki-users] Restrict Access Rights to Admin Users only
by Mahomed Hussein 14 Mar '15

14 Mar '15

Looks like I'm keeping the mailing list server busy today :) I have managed to hide the Admin rights/objects/classes part of the edit button by modifying line 9 of menus_content.vm (and attached it to my custom skin) Changed it from: #if($isAdvancedUser) To: #if($isAdvancedUser && $hasAdmin) Now I just need to work-out how to remove that from the document index and if the user tries to go to the link directly. I also need to then workout how to stop advanced users from being able to create their own skins. Hmmm. Time to take a break I think. Kind regards, -----Original Message----- From: users [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mahomed Hussein Sent: 14 March 2015 16:57 To: XWiki Users Subject: [xwiki-users] Restrict Access Rights to Admin Users only Hi I have been doing a bit more reading and digging as I was hoping to be able to solve this in the skin but I've come across two issues 1) This doesn't appear to be implemented in the skin 2) It appears end users can create their own skins so doing it in the skin is not the right way. I've come across this link but there doesn't appear to be a definitive solution in it - http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Access-rights-management-bug-td6803183.ht… I have done the following test: 1. TestDoc created in TestSpace by User1 2. User2 only has read and comment rights in TestSpace. Confirmed User2 cannot edit document or change rights. 3. User2 is given read, comment and edit rights in TestSpace 4. User2 refreshes TestDoc and now can edit the document. 5. User2 looks at TestSpace document index and sees that he cannot delete the document. 6. User2 edits access rights for TestDoc and gives himself delete permission on the document 7. User2 refreshes TestSpace document index and he now can delete TestDoc. Am I the only one who sees this as a problem? Read/Write/Modify should not allow you to then change permissions on the document. Is there any robust way without having to write Java to fix it? I'm afraid my skills fall short of Java editing.

Re: [xwiki-users] Globally changing font, headers and title in XWiki

Sorry I thought I was subscribed remade the post Hello, I'm using flamingo skin for my xwiki. Trying to make change my default font, as well as header and title colour so it effects every space and page on Wiki. I have tried to find this in administrator settings on wiki but no luck. Looked up the guides and found a way to change it through file system but I don't have access to that. Can I do my task through online xwiki? If there is a way to do this with classes, can you please explain how? There are lose extensions and application maybe those can help? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Globally-changing-font-headers-and-title-… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [xwiki-users] Performance Frustrations
by Mahomed Hussein 13 Mar '15

13 Mar '15

Hi All Just a brief update. Our XWiki has been running fine for the last few days with at least 3 people using it. Hopefully it stays that way. One thing I noticed is that it just "magically" started responding faster the next day. The other thing that I found was that I had missed out configuring the dns servers when I configured the static IP (it was a long day). So it is quite possible that the background process that Marius suggested may have had something to do with a site lookup or name resolution or update (this is purely speculation on my part - but hopefully it helps someone). Thanks again for this great system. Lots to learn still :) Kind regards, -----Original Message----- From: Mahomed Hussein Sent: 10 March 2015 16:42 To: XWiki Users Subject: [nosig] RE: [xwiki-users] Performance Frustrations Hi Thanks for the responses. Page you mention below just loaded a blank page (I assume that's the intention). CPU jumped to about 80% for that one request. That being said, performance has been a bit better today for some reason. There are a couple of extra tweaks I did this morning were: 1. Limited the activity plugin on the dashboard to only show the last 10 changes with 2 changes. 2. Disabled the image for one of the user's avatar. I have been happily adding documents today and it has been fairly acceptable. But that's just one active user. We'll see how it behaves when it has 10 users on at the same time. I might come back with more questions. Kind regards, Mahomed -----Original Message----- From: users [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Marius Dumitru Florea Sent: 10 March 2015 09:47 To: XWiki Users Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Performance Frustrations I would also check the speed of retrieving a simple/plain wiki page without the surrounding UI elements: /xwiki/bin/get/Space/Page If this is still slow then the reason must be a background task as Thomas suggested. If it's fast then it means some of the UI elements slow down the view mode. It may be a panel for instance.

Simple pages (like the space webhome page) were taking 3 – 4 seconds to load. This is with only 1 user testing it and about 5 articles in the whole system. Using htop, we can see that the tomcat process are being created and the CPU is going to over 150% - 400% (total across several cores). I have tried modifying the JAVA_OPTS in /etc/default/tomcat7 with little to no effect what so ever.
