[xwiki-users] installing xwiki as deb packages : use and stick to "super stable" branch
by Martin Hamant 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

Hi, It seems "stable" and "super stable" xwiki packages are all contained in the same repository at http://maven.xwiki.org/stable/ (and the "DEB" installation procedure point to the same document http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationViaAPT for both versions). To install "super stable", I could do $ sudo apt-get install xwiki-enterprise-common=5.4.5 But at the next apt-get upgrade, it would upgrade to latest... Whereas I want to stick to "super stable" branch. It there a trick here ? A best practice maybe ? Thanks !

[xwiki-users] [ANN] File Manager 2.0-milestone-1 released
by Marius Dumitru Florea 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hi everyone, I've released today a new version of the File Manager Application [1]. This application lets your organize your files inside XWiki using a tree hierarchy of folders. It supports all standard operations like move, rename, copy, delete on both files and folders. You can use drag & drop to upload new files and to modify the folder hierarchy. A wide range of files types can be viewed or played (in case of audio and video files) directly from the wiki. This includes PDF and office documents. The entire application has been redesigned. The UI is now written using Angular JS while the backend supports batch operations using jobs (running as daemon threads). Those upgrading from an older version can migrate their data (files) with a click of a button. I hope you'll find it useful. Feedback, bug reports [2] and contributions [3] are more than welcomed. Thanks, Marius [1] http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/File+Manager+Applicati… [2] http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/FILEMAN [3] https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-filemanager

[xwiki-users] Help with Database List
by Jason Clemons 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

> Hello again all, > > I’m trying not to ask every little question here, but I’m pretty well stuck. I’ve created an App Within Minutes app and added a “Database List” but I’m not sure how to populate the list. I’ve read tons (mostly of which I don’t understand) about HQL and LiveTable, but since I’m so new I can’t really figure out how to get this going. I’d like to have a “LiveTable” (form) somewhere that my users enter and maintain data which then populates the “Database List” on my app. I’ve Googled a bunch but I can’t seem to find a good example of this. In my mind I want to do the following: > > 1. Create a LiveTable somewhere > 2. Link the Database List to the LiveTable I created. > > Any help is greatly appreciated, > > Jason M Clemons > Network Operations - Service Delivery Lead Analyst > 602-766-1844 > > American Express made the following annotations > > "This message and any attachments are solely for the intended recipient and may contain confidential or privileged information.

[xwiki-users] Skip name dialog in App Within Minutes
by Jason Clemons 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hello all, I've created an "App Within Minutes" and written some custom JavaScript to autofill the value of the popup dialog box (called "Entry Name") with a randomly generated UID.. Essentially what happens is I click the "Add New Entry" button and when the dialog pops up, it is autofilled with the UID from my client-side code. I'd like to skip the popup box entirely and just create the page directly off of the UID so the user is just taken to the form automatically, but the only thing I can think of is just hiding the dialog and pushing the button via JavaScript. Any other suggestions are certainly welcome, thx

[xwiki-users] Upgrade problems xwiki 6.1 - missing attachments
by Leonardo Kodato 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hi everyone. I've got some problems upgrading xwiki 5.4.1 to xwiki 6.1(stable). The upgrade went well, but it missed almost all the attachments(I use filesystem storage). They are there, inside Storage folder, but Xwiki can't find it. I searched over the internet and found 3 different documentations for the upgrade process. 1 - https://network.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/DocXE51En/XWikiEnterpriseInstallat… 2 - http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Upgrade 3 - http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/HowCanIUpdateXWIKIFromAnOlderVersion The last one is a FAQ and appears to be outdated. So I used only the first ones. They differ little, but I think they should be unificated, because some aspects are not present in one, but they are present in another or vice versa. Correct me if I'm doing something wrong: 1 - Stop java container(Tomcat) 2 - Backup up data schema, 3 - Backup up files and folders: Extension, Lucene, Solr, Storage(Im using filesystem storage), jobs and xwiki-temp. hibernate, xwiki.cfg and .properties, logback.xml. Also backup up any changes you've made(skins, for example) 4 - Remove the old xwiki files(5.4.1) and replace it with the new ones(6.1). 5 - Configure xwiki.cfg, xwiki.properties and hibernate to match the old configuration(do not replace). 6 - Insert the database connector(in this case, Mysql) inside lib folder 7 - Put all the data files from item 3 inside the environment.permanentDirectory(in my case, its the data folder) 8 - Restart the container 9 - Point the browser to xwiki instalation 10 - Follow the steps of Distribution Wizard 11 - Check if everything went right(attachments, dataschema, templates Thank you very much.

[xwiki-users] Enabling "Forgot your username or password?" on Log-in page
by ghri-bh 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Hello, I have a new installation of XWiki Enterprise 6.0.1. The Log-in screen initially included the feature/line "Forgot your username or password?" (Where username and password are both links). In order to prevent unregistered users from viewing pages, I enabled (in Administer Wiki > Users & Groups > Rights > Groups) the setting "Prevent unregistered users from viewing pages, regardless of the page or space rights." But after enabling this configuration option, the "Forget your username or password?" feature has disappeared from the Log-in screen. Is there any way to get this feature back onto the Login-screen? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Enabling-Forgot-your-username-or-password… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] [IDEA] Community phonebook
by Andreea Popescu 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Hello all, I was thinking about implementing an easier means of communicating and keeping in touch with you, like a community phonebook. An example of such a means of communication is the one implemented by Mozilla for their contributors: mozillians.org. Such a system would allow various badges or the possibility to be accepted in certain groups, for the users who contributed the most or who took part in certain activities. For instance, could create a badge for the testing process, and when you’ve amounted 30 or more manual tests, you would receive that badge automatically. This badge system could be implemented for other perks as well, one for every type of contribution to XWiki. The badge system would need you to create a profile that would contain the following: - E-mail address, which would have the option to hide the address if the user desires it; - Language options; - The fields of activity you are most interested in; - The groups you are part of; - The badges received so far. The system is aimed to enhance the communication between community members and we would like to know your opinion regarding its implementation and usefulness and, also, the system would allow recognitions of the community contributions This system is just an idea (a general one), so, please express your view in a reply to this email to know if I go further with it. Thank you, Andreea
