[xwiki-users] New Wiki Creation Issues / No Distribution Wizard
by Esteban Amas 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

Hello everyone, Upon trying to create a new wiki we don’t get a Distribution Wizard and instead get the DocumentDoesNotExist page. Setup Summary: Tomcat/MySQL & XWikiv6.0.1 We deployed a custom configured version of the WAR file to our Servlet Container (Tomcat) and upgraded the UI on the main wiki using the Extension Manager (carefully, we made sure rights we wanted to keep didn’t get overwritten). We want to expand our current wiki and split up into many “sub-wikis” and start with creating the new wikis. We use the WikiManager/CreateWiki/ dialog as admin-users with full rights. THE MAIN ISSUE: Upon hitting “create” we expect to see the Distribution Wizard - but instead we see the DocumentDoesNotExist page and the URL reads /wiki/secondwiki/view/Main. Our jobs folder does in fact have status.xml which I have heard you could remove (then restart tomcat) and get the DW that way but it isn’t working (same result). My logs (catalina.out) show the following: -----------/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences/] WARN o.h.u.DTDEntityResolver - recognized obsolete hibernate namespace http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/. Use namespace http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/ instead. Refer to Hibernate 3.6 Migration Guide! -----------/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences/] WARN o.h.i.UUIDHexGenerator - Using org.hibernate.id.UUIDHexGenerator which does not generate IETF RFC 4122 compliant UUID values; consider using org.hibernate.id.UUIDGenerator instead NOTE: We actually have the hibernate namespace as they have suggested in the warning (in hibernate.cfg.xml). Still it gives us that warning. -----------/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences/] INFO .HibernateDataMigrationManager - Storage schema updates and data migrations are enabled -----------/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences/] INFO .HibernateDataMigrationManager - No data migration to apply for wiki [xwiki] currently in version [54300] -----------/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences/] INFO .HibernateDataMigrationManager - Checking Hibernate mapping and updating schema if needed for wiki [xwiki] -----------/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences/] WARN o.x.v.i.DefaultVelocityEngine - Deprecated usage of method [com.xpn.xwiki.api.XWiki.searchDocuments] in /templates/admin.vm@75,17 -----------/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences/] WARN o.x.v.i.DefaultVelocityEngine - Deprecated usage of method [com.xpn.xwiki.api.XWiki.searchDocuments] in /templates/admin.vm@75,17 -----------/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences/] WARN o.x.v.i.DefaultVelocityEngine - Deprecated usage of method [com.xpn.xwiki.api.XWiki.searchDocuments] in /templates/admin.vm@75,17 -----------/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences/] WARN o.x.v.i.DefaultVelocityEngine - Deprecated usage of method [com.xpn.xwiki.api.XWiki.searchDocuments] in /templates/admin.vm@75,17 -----------/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences/] INFO .HibernateDataMigrationManager - Checking Hibernate mapping and updating schema if needed for wiki [secondwiki] -----------/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences/] INFO .HibernateDataMigrationManager - Checking Hibernate mapping and updating schema if needed for wiki [testing] Checked MySQL: the database is being properly created and is filled with the expected tables (compared with database ‘xwiki' - the main wiki). If you read all of that - thank you for your time. Any help or ideas you can provide would be GREATLY appreciated. Best, eamas

[xwiki-users] Batch Import
by Danilo Oliveira 03 Aug '14

03 Aug '14

Hello All, I am trying to use the batchimport application to import some data in my XWiki 6.1. I created a class with appwithinminutes, and the import for the class fields and title is working perfectly. However when I try to map some data to doc.tags, not happens... And the extension does not return any errors as well. is there a way to turn a detailed log? or anyone could make this kind of import in other versions of XWiki below the 6.1? Thanks.

[xwiki-users] How to check $xcontext.get(xxxx) is empty?
by Pascal BASTIEN 01 Aug '14

01 Aug '14

Hello, I have "some" difficulty with my groovy/velocity code: I manage to pass some parameter between my scheduler/groovy script to my velocity code of my page but I need to check in my velocity code if my parameter exist (or not). http://maven.xwiki.org/site/docs/xwiki-javadoc-4.1.x/com/xpn/xwiki/api/Cont… By exemple, this code doesn't work: {{velocity}} #if ( $xcontext.get("DoCleanup")!=$null) "DoCleanup" parameter doesn't exist #else DoCleanup parameter from groovy code is $xcontext.get("DoCleanup") #end {{/velocity}} http://maven.xwiki.org/site/docs/xwiki-javadoc-4.1.x/com/xpn/xwiki/api/Cont… return null if user have PR :-( In fact, in my velocity code I need to detect who's launch the velocity script: groovy code of scheduler or manually launch by the page containing velocity code. Any idea how can I do? Thxs. Pascal B.

[xwiki-users] [UX] Wiki - Space - Page concepts pitch
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 01 Aug '14

01 Aug '14

Hi, We did some usability testing sessions and found out that one of the biggest problems users are facing is that they don't understand the Home - Wiki - Space - Page concepts. Because of this confusion: - they are creating a wiki instead of a space or a page, - they don't know where they are located when looking at a page (in the main wiki or in a subwiki), - they don't know how to navigate to the pages they've created, - very confused that we have a Main space in every wiki, - they are having a hard time making a difference between a space and an application, - hard to understand everything is a page, - etc. We could do many things in order to improve our navigation, but one thing I want us to focus in this mail thread is the explanation of Wiki - Space - Page concepts on the Main.WebHome. Currently the content of the Welcome Block is: = Welcome to your wiki = > > It's an easy-to-edit website that will help you work better together. This > Wiki is made of //pages// sorted by //spaces//. You're currently in the > **Main** space, looking at its home page (**WebHome**). > > Learn how to use XWiki with the [[Getting Started Guide]] > You can then use the [[Sandbox space]] to try out your wiki's features. > I would like to replace this message with an introductory text that explain the concepts (there were also some ideas that maybe we need some images to represent the hierarchy, etc.) and I need your opinion on this subject. So, how would you pitch the Wiki - Space - Page concepts to newcomers? Thanks, Caty

Hello, I am having issues with configuring an LDAP connection to Active Directory. I have installed the LDAP Admin Extension and followed the instructions as per: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/LDAP+Application#Comme… Settings are as follows: Ldap: Yes Ldap server address: 10.0.0.11 Ldap server port: 389 Ldap login matching: CN={0},CN=Users,DC=city,DC=com Ldap password matching: {1} Ldap base dn: DC=city,DC=com Ldap UID attribute name: samaccountname Try local login: yes Update user from LDAP after login: no The rest are blank or default. I've tried modifying the xwiki.cfg file manually and still no luck. I have tried monitoring the logs with the following set: com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.ldap - Trace com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.ldap.XWikiLDAPConfig - Trace com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.ldap.XWikiLDAPConnection - Trace com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP - Trace com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl - Trace As well as Error and Debug but can't find anything meaningful in the two log files I can locate: xwiki_db.log 2014_07_11.request.log Any suggestions?

[xwiki-users] about password and LDAP
by Pascal BASTIEN 01 Aug '14

01 Aug '14

Hello, I have some questions (today :-) ) - I wondered where is stored local users password? More precisely in which table? I see that users are in xwikidoc table: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/DatabaseSchema (but not the password) Note, I don't want reinitialize password (I know how to do it with superuser) - If I use LDAP authentication, a copy of user ldap password is stored in the database? - With ldap authentication, I filter members by ldap statics groups #-# Only members of the following group can authenticate. xwiki.authentication.ldap.user_group=dn=_agents_,xxxx,dc=fr _agents_ contain a static list of memberUID with name.surname I active log for ldap and I saw that for the first connexion by a ldap user, cache creation take 1mn Apparently xwiki try to retrieve the dn for each member of the static group for generate his cache (~5 queries by member) Of course, I increased xwiki.authentication.ldap.groupcache_expiration value Are there a way to refresh the ldap cache by cron or scheduled script?

[xwiki-users] Upload large files to target location
by Bryn Jeffries 01 Aug '14

01 Aug '14

Hi, I'd like to use XWiki as the front-end to an application that uses a database and file-store separate to XWiki's. I have been very successful wrapping up the database interactions with groovy and velocity scripts. However, I also need to allow users to upload large (>300Mb) files. These files would not be attachments into XWiki, but would go directly into the separate filesystem. Is there support to handle uploading large files in this way? I see that XWiki includes a file upload widget (http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/HTML5Upload) which looks very close to what I need, but this seems to be for XWiki attachments only. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Bryn

[xwiki-users] Prevent regular users from creating new spaces
by Patrick Masson 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

Per the documentation at: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Access+Rights#HPreventr… You can restrict the creation of new spaces to users with administrative privileges by following these steps: In the global rights, deny write access to the XWikiAllGroup group and the XWikiGuest user and allow edit access to the XWikiAdminGroup group In each space rights, allow write access to the XWikiAllGroup group However looking at the "Administration: Rights" at 'mywiki/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=globaladmin&section=Rights#...' I do not see a an option for "write access" as mentioned in the documentation. Is this the same as "edit" as listed in the Groups & User permissions table? Also I do not have an XWikiGuest group (as I do not have a public wiki) but just want to be sure I am working though the right admin panel.

[xwiki-users] Refine searches by tag / Advanced search by tag
by Fabien Munoz 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

Hello, I would like to be able to refine searches in xwiki enterprise by tags as I already can by Spaces or wikis. How can I do that? Is there any way to do the same directly into the search input? Something like 'install tag:linux' would search for the word 'install', on into pages tagged 'linux'. Thanks in advance,
