[xwiki-users] Release of Curriki 1.17 (CDN)
by Paul Libbrecht 05 Jan '15

05 Jan '15

The Curriki developers' team is happy to announce that Curriki 1.17 is now released and deployed to www.curriki.org . This release fixes a number of bugs and adds the support for serving the static resources (such as JS, pictures, or CSS files that are part of the webapp) from a cloud distribution network. Curriki has chosen the Amazon Web Service S3 upload and Cloudfront CDN solution. This release required a number of adjustments in the internals (a URL factory) and quite some skin adjustments, often because absolute URLs that refer to CDN resources often get caught by the wiki syntax processor. We are thrilled to bring this release to the users' community of curriki.org for a better responsiveness and to the developers of the XCLAMS-based platforms. XCLAMS, the XWiki Collaborative Learning Assets Management System, is a web-service based on the XWiki platform that enables learning resources to be exchanged, developed, and shared following the Open Educational Resources model. The source of the Curriki.org XCLAMS branch is at: https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/currikiorg/commit/72b6e963ecd9e9794bda5f8d… The commit of the release is: https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/currikiorg/ For more details about bug fixes, see the jira version: http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10160&version=15062 More information about XCLAMS in general see http://xclams.xwiki.org . The XWiki developers' team Paul, Bob, Todd, and Felix

[xwiki-users] Using a local class within a wiki page
by Bryn Jeffries 26 Dec '14

26 Dec '14

Why does a page containing just the following produce no output?: {{groovy}} class Callee { void hello() { println "hello, world" } } c = new Callee() c.hello() {{/groovy}} I have programming rights, and running scripts in general works fine. It's just when I try to invoke a method from a locally defined class that I hit problems.

[xwiki-users] extend contact list with thumbnails
by Florian Kessler 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

Hello all, what would be the best way to show pictures/thumbnails from an active directory in an xwiki site? So far, we are using groovy to contact an active directoy, extract user info, like name, mail, phone etc and return xwiki 2.0 syntax, see code below Now we would love to extend that contact list with photos stored in the active directory. Would that be possible? If so, how?

[xwiki-users] Line wrapping in Code Macro
by Jamal 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

Hi, Is there a way to force line wrapping in the Code macro? Right now, long lines simply extend outside the bounds of the box.

[xwiki-users] Manipulate users and groups via REST-API
by lists＠yhmail.de 22 Dec '14

22 Dec '14

Hello everyone, I need to manipulate user and groups (create/delete) via the REST-API. Has anyone done this before? Maybe he/she is willing to share their scripts? I appreciate any help. So if anyone can point me in the right direction this would be great. I started here: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XWikiRESTfulAPI#HXWikiRES… But I always get the result: The server has not found anything matching the request URI. Thank you for your help, Chris

Re: [xwiki-users] Run external script to generate data for wiki page
by Bryn Jeffries 20 Dec '14

20 Dec '14

I was thinking basic current side AJAX, rather than doing something server side in Velocity. It's not my area, but I'm sure it's possible. The idea is just too get your browser to call the CGI script. ----- Reply message ----- From: "Jason Clemons" <jason.clemons(a)live.com> To: "XWiki Users" <users(a)xwiki.org> Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Run external script to generate data for wiki page Date: Fri, Dec 19, 2014 12:02 I have control over the script..so it can be in the CGI bin...would I then be able to invoke it through velocity? > On Dec 18, 2014, at 6:01 PM, Bryn Jeffries <bryn.jeffries(a)sydney.edu.au> wrote: > > How "external" is the external script?

Re: [xwiki-users] Query external MSSQL DB in a wiki page
by Bryn Jeffries 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

I have managed the following with an external PostgreSQL server: Retrieve and display queried data in a page with Groovy; Write a Java component to perform query, call and display with Groovy or Velocity; Generate JSON data of query results with Groovy, call and display from LiveTable. Happy to share but not near my computer till later today, so let me know which of the above is closest to what you want to do and I'll post something when I can. ----- Reply message ----- From: "Jason Clemons" <jason.clemons(a)live.com> To: "Xwiki Users" <users(a)xwiki.org> Cc: "Clemons Jason" <jason.m.clemons(a)aexp.com> Subject: [xwiki-users] Query external MSSQL DB in a wiki page Date: Tue, Dec 9, 2014 08:26 Hello, Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm trying to query and external Microsoft SQL database from a wiki page. My current wiki runs on MSSQL just fine using sqljdbc4.jar configured with hibernate. The DB I want to query is actually on the same server, I can actually make it appear in the same DB if that makes things easier. I've looked at SQL Tools extension --> http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/SQL+Tools and I can get that to work just fine even querying the other database, but I don't know how to make the results of a query from that tool appear in a separate page I've created for use in Velocity for example. I've tried to get the example on the "Execute SQL" page here --> http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Execute+SQL to work but I get a Groovy error on the second snippet and nothing at all appears on the page using the first snippet (but no error). I've also looked at this plugin --> http://xwikisql.gradsoft.ua/docs/XWikiSqlPluginGuide.html but it hasn't been updated since 2008, so I'm not really sure that's a good idea from a sustainability perspective in a production environment. Ultimately, I will have a flat table in some database, really any database (e.g..it can be the XWIKI DB)..and I need to be able to get the rows and columns from the table and expose them as an HTML table in my wiki page. Once I figure out how to get the data making it into a table is easy enough, but I can't even figure out how to get an object or array with the data in it to iterate. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jason
